Cant resist this funny price, leaving only a bit of btc reserve now, all went to vtc 
I'm right there with ya, although I've already depleted my reserves. There seems to be a lot of accumulation in the .00175 area.
Hello Everyone I need your help...
So..basically I had a paper wallet with 40 vertcoins and I decided to redeem them today. Well the only way I knew how to redeem a paper wallet was to use my actual desktop vertcoin wallet which I almost never use. So i go through the motions and I import the private key and now it shows in my wallet as redeemed...except I don't have 40 vertcoins?
So I checked the vertcoin explorer and looked up the address to make sure there should be 40 there - VooBcKyaC1QMSNBoe8HeiKqJGs6rNjEqD1
Yes it shows that this address has 40 vertcoins, so I start thinking wtf is going on? And then it hit me, I still have the original vertcoin wallet from like january, I never updated it when everyone was saying must update wallet. Is this the issue?

GeminiSimba, that might be the issue but most likely you will just need to download the blockchain again for your transactions to appear in your wallet.
I am able to manually enable the GPU's, but they show 0 KHs. If I try to use the restart command, they go offline.
How much system memory is needed? I was under the impression that all the mining was on the GPUs and the system ram was just to run the OS. Someone earlier recomended using 8Gb, but I don't understand why that would be needed. The host CPU isn't doing anything but passing packets between the GPUs and the pool or am I wrong?

If you completely remove the --gpu-engine and --gpu-memclock portion do all 4 of them work? Those settings may be a little high for the XFX cards, try leaving them out and if that works, add them back but at a much lower level, like 800. I'm not completely sure about the system memory part, I know scrypt-n uses more memory than just plan scrypt but I haven't had any problems with only 4GB per rig.
I downloaded the vertminer-0.5.3 and ran your exact command to bypass my CFG file.
3 out of 4 gpu's failed immediately and only 1 ran at single digit hashrate.

Try lowering the intensity to 11. Are you running 4 7850's on that rig? Not that it matters but what brand?
my GPUs simply come up and report OFFLINE or DEAD, but going back to Scrypt seems to work fine.
Scrypt-N is more intensive and will tax your GPU to the max, chances are that your GPU settings are not stable enough so they keep crashing.
I converted to vertminer and they were all DEAD.
I then tried a bunch of setting changes, including removing almost everything and letting vertminer choose the defaults.
Still, everything comes up DEAD, even at intensity 8.
Switching back to Scrypt, everything runs fine again and I get good hashrates at intensity 20.
So, in summary, there is either a problem with how vertminer chooses default values, or with the scrypt-N running on certain brands/models of GPUs.
Then it's a RAM issue, how many and what GPUs are you running and how much RAM are you using?
usao: You do not need to have more than 4GB of RAM per rig, granted, the more the better but it will most likely not solve your problems. What version of vertminer are you using? The 5.2 version on the site does not seem to work, at least for me. I was only able to get 5.3 to work. Here is the link to the 5.3 download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip. As for the 7850 settings... those are a bitch. Here are the settings I got to work and get about 140K from each.
vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u UserName -p Password -v 1 -w 256 -I 14 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --gpu-memclock 1300,1300 --thread-concurrency 4096
Hope that helps. The pain in the ass is getting the thread-concurrency value right.
