Just have no idea what my hash rate is. Just keeps saying Detected New Block

I'm not really familiar with the simplicity software, but if you're mining at a pool, you should be able to check your address/username at the pool's website, and see you're hashrate there.

The initial idea was to make pow alg adjustable. Why devs just can't fork from scrypt:2048 to scrypt:4096? It will cause the same effect to multipool  and fpga/ASIC mininig. It will help to gain time for Lyra2 implementation.

Yes, there is a mandate of Vertcoin to fork to higher 'n' of the scrypt-n algo when the ASIC/FPGA is out. Well, the scrypt-n FPGA is finally here now.  I doubt the devs know about this. They are busy with the Lyra2 implementation and they have not come into this forum nor the reddit (they have not posted anything) for a long time.  Perhaps someone who has a 'direct line' to the devs can let them know of the new ASIC/FPGA development.

I talked to othe about it in #vertcoin on freenode yesterday.

I'm not going to push this issue but two questions then I drop it.

1) Why does this wallet alert on Norton antivirus but no other wallets do?

2) Why would a person with limited knowledge of coins use a coin whose wallet is tainted according to one of the biggest antivirus companies in the world.

I imagine the response will be 'then move to another coin with a clean wallet', and so I will.

1) That's a good point. And while there are lots of other wallets and miners that trigger virus alerts (it's almost always the miner, because wallets come with built in miner), you're correct that it doesn't happen for legitimate major coins (even for vertcoin, monocle's "parent"). I guess the reason is maybe just because Monocle is a test coin, for experimenting with new features for vert, so maybe the developers just weren't worried about making it user friendly. I'm really not sure, tbh.

2) Because all antivirii programs are equally bullshit/garbage? I dunno. From what I understand, Windows Defender (free and built in to win7 and 8 ) is the best or at least equally as good as norton or whatever they call mcaffee now.

Someone clued me into Monocle and I was going to load up but when I tried to download the wallet Norton antivirus said it was infected and sent it to quarantine. I would like to buy some monocle but is there a clean wallet available? I'm not interested in "false positive" explanations. Is there a wallet that does not trip my antivirus?

If you're really that paranoid why not just run it in a VM? No stupid virus false positives in linux, and then you have it confined to virtual machine anyway.

Like MOST people I know very little about vm or linux. Altcoins started with techies but a lot of us late arrivers are not interested in mechanics. If a wallet is hot on Norton antivirus most people, including virtually all new folks, will not use it. You can call me paranoid or whatever you want. As long as your wallet trips Norton, people will not buy it.

Paper wallet someone else suggested might be a good idea. A lot of good coins with working wallets. I bought a small amount of monocle at an exchange and will look at the wallet options.

If you downloaded the release directly from the developer's github account, then what you're saying is that you think the vertcoin developers are intentionally passing you a virus. Why would you buy a coin that you think the devs are trying to give you a virus with? 

Virtualbox is free software that's quite easy to use. If you can use a wallet, you can load a vm. You don't even need to load a linux vm, you could just as easily run it in a windows vm.

If you only bought a few coins (which are probably worth less than a dollar or ten), it's probably not a big deal to just hold them on the exchange, also. That would be the easiest course of action, certainly, and it's not like it's a huge risk you're taking.

btw, HF didn't start off being a scam, i can assure you.  there's a case to be made they didn't even end up being a scam.  they were incompetent's.

17% discount when comparing to Amazon. Didn't know the profit margin for retail store is this high.

I think this is what would be known as a loss leader.

Quote
A loss leader (also leader) is a pricing strategy where a product is sold at a price below its market cost to stimulate other sales of more profitable goods or services. With this sales promotion—marketing strategy, a "leader" is used as a related term and can mean any popular article, i.e., one sold at a normal price.

someone knows why explorer doesn't work? it stopped on 08.13

No, but I think there are several others that work, including this one which I guess is (quasi-)official:
https://explorer.vertcoin.org/

look at date is the same

ohyea, sorry. Looks like someone just posted on reddit about it, hopefully gets fixed quick. There are several others though:

http://cryptexplorer.com/chain/VertCoin
http://bitinfocharts.com/vertcoin/explorer/
http://vtc.sovereignshare.com/exp/

and probably more as well...

That's exactly why an 80% drop now for LTC means a lot more than a 70% drop in BTC back in 2012. In 2012 when activity picked up again, it was almost entirely going back to BTC. Any increase in activity now won't be going back to LTC. There is simply no reason for that to happen. There are many more and better alternatives to LTC now.


OK, I see your point. I agree there are better alternatives, but I still feel like LTC has at least one more giant pump before (if) it dies a long slow death. There is just so much money invested in scrypt asics, and most of them haven't seen the light of day, that I think it will have another boom cycle (and an accompanying boom in the number of tx/day). But who knows...

I was able to download the wallet from a link a few posts above. Connected to the network, and just got my first payment from mining!
Still seems a little fishy that the coin's website isn't working. Their twitter account hasn't posted since May. But I believe they will be back soon.
