And there goes my trust in this coin, great doing.
Warning, mining on the largest pool can cause problems with the coin. Please choose one of the smaller pools. The smaller pools are automatically moved to the top of the list every 3 minutes.
I'm running a small pool at skadi.nawk.net:8000 which could use a few more miners. Spread out, people!

Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs
....aaaand watch the net hashrate skyrocket, it's gonna get raped!
It's not all that bad. With the nfactor, you get about half of Litecoin scrypt mining hashrate on your GPU, which means a mid-high end GPU is only going to pull a few times that of a high end CPU. Certainly not the 50x or 100x we usually see with scrypt, or the many hundreds of times with SHA256.

Okay.
This is only for OS X and Linux. I have no idea how to compile this for Windows, Windows people: good luck, post a binary if you manage to do it.
^^ is a modified cgminer for vertcoin that'll run on the http://vtc.pool.pm pool!
Extract, then run
./configure --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt && make
then run cgminer as normal for a scrypt cryptocurrency.
CAVEAT: this is a very dirty hack originally done by Trullala. It hardcodes the nfactor, so it will only work through 2014! A future version which handles the vertcoin nfactor more elegantly may be forthcoming.

The miners on the pool are running a modification of cgminer -- this has been talked about to death on the IRC channel, #vertcoin on Freenode.

Come join us on Freenode IRC, #vertcoin
Some discussion about pooled mining is happening right now!
Still trying the Windows client under Wine, it shows 8 connections now with bitwho's list from above, but still remains hanged at "No block source available" and I'm running out of ideas here. :/
add them in your .conf with addnode=37.59.28.23 addnode=162.243.255.143 addnode=208.43.73.214 addnode=89.66.110.74 addnode=92.29.189.93 addnode=50.43.34.206 addnode=70.74.161.2 addnode=173.3.156.205 addnode=92.243.188.79 addnode=67.187.185.139 addnode=99.238.199.10
Thanks for that, it starts off with 8 connections but then quickly drops back to 1 and still says "no block source available". I'm going to try building it from source for Mac and see if I can get the native client working on here.
