please make the deafult vertcoin difficulty higher.
now that the average hashrate has increased by 5 times, cause of the new faster algo, we'd create less shares and get less rejects at startup.

+1 to Pallas ,And after this update maybe we can remove "-diffucilty-multiplier" from sg miner coinfig )

[cidman]

what diff should we use for vtc on sgminer and ccminer?
seems im hashing a bit fast on both and my hash rate on site is like half what miner reports

Any reason MBL isn't being merge mined with Vert? I'm doing p2pool to merge mine but I'd love to get email notification when one of my rigs goes down. Whenever I look for merge mined coins my first thought is GMC, surprised not to see mobilecash with the VTC pool.

This crappy give-me-coins pool simply many times at random and for random periods of time stops accepting shares on their ltc.give-me-coins:3333 or 3334 or 80 server , so when you leave your mining equipment unnatended for example the whole night, you discover in the morning that you wasted lots of time and electricity.
When this happens, you have to change your config to gridseed.give-me-coins.com:4256 , or the other servers that start with"asic" or "titan".

BUT if your mining equipment is very small like mine, you need those servers that have a dynamic diff of 16-4096, the static ones are not a good choice at all.

Most important, don´t use this pool at all because they steal shares from you, they are scammers.
I catched them twice stealing shares from me, and now they simply don´t answer anything to me on their support mail, and that is the best proof that they are doing it.
A mining pool is not a charity organization, has expenses on servers, internet, programming work..... so a 0% fee pool is giving away free money to people, like a free plane ticket.
It is better to use a pool where you know that you are charged 1% or 2% or whatever of your work, but that is dependable, has support and works as intended.
Dont use this pool, you are giving away money to scammers.

Usually when I see people complaining about not getting paid the correct amount after mining for so-and-so hours on a pool I assume they simply don't understand how mining works (I know, because I was one of those people not too long ago) so I hesitate to make a similar complaint, but...

I pointed a single GTX 1080 at the VTC pool on Give Me Coins for 24 hours and the hashrate reported by the pool and the miner were in close agreement (around 48 MH/s). In that time frame I should have earned 0.9 VTC, which is exactly what I needed to round up my wallet to the next higher integer (the 0.1 was triggering my OCD something fierce). Granted, a block has to be found to get credit for your work, but as long as a block is found one should get credit. As the days tick by since that 24 hour run of mining my balance has sat stubbornly at 0.48 VTC and, yes, blocks were found during and after my mining session.

So as of now it looks like I got shafted out of 50% of my earnings, which, sadly, seems to be a common occurrence with VTC pools in general.

I should note in the interest of fairness and to illustrate I don't have an axe to grind here that I also occasionally mine FTC on GMC and get more or less the expected earnings for a given 24 hour time period using the average difficulty on whattomine.com. So this doesn't appear to be nefarious behavior on the part of GMC, unless they just happen to hate VTC miners for some reason.

Well this just gets weirder and weirder... after another 3 days my balance now sits at 0.765 VTC.

Hello Miners!

We bring you some sad news today. Due to increasing difficulty and competition with mining farms as well as several other issues we have decided to shut down give-me-coins.
We have been in operation since 2013 that's 7 years! and we could not have done this without help from the community and each miner. We have been through many ups and downs but have learned so much over the course of 7 years and we thank each one of you.

Please take note of the following. The pool will remain open until the end of the month (30th April) at which time will be shut down.

We wish you all the best and we will see you around the community sometimes.
Serraz and kha0S

I got this a bit late.
