Can you compile and post a binary? I am getting some dependency errors.
Or help me compile properly. I am getting the CANNOT FIND -lpthreadsGC2 when the pthreadsGC2.dll is in MinGW/bin/
The last time I did anything @ windows was when Windows 7 came out

I can tell you anyhting or compile anything under Linux but I'm sorry, I can't help for Windows.
Yeah it compiled in Ubuntu no problem just trying to get it for Windows.
Also when you were writing this algorithm, is it really Lyra2 or something else? It looked like some pyminer.py was doing the mining and the algorithm was more along the lines of SHA256 than Lyra2.
Hmm I've tried to get a VM running to compile the miner but hey.. It's freakin' harder to get the build environment going under windows than getting a stratum pool going for zcash

This algo is pure Lyra2 with some crazy values.. Yes I used python for testing and then switched over to C(++) as testing scripts are written in a snap in python.
Whereas Vertcoin uses some special "light" version of Lyra2(RE) it was a chained algo (like X11) were Lyra2 was one of the algos in the chain with quite light values, so it wasn't so hard to mine.
Here, I'm not sure if the devs really know what they were doing, they dropped all the chained algos and cranked the Lyra2 "hardness" waaayy beyond maximum and that makes the algo so slow. As they are also using the block height as a difficulty factor in the algo, it gets harder with every new mined block. At some point blockchain height will reach a value where it will be too hard to mine and the chain will stall - it will probably be forked before that happens.
