Come join us on P2Pool! Pick one of the available public nodes close to your location at http://p2pool.vertcoin.org or start your own node if you want: https://github.com/donSchoe/p2pool-vtc

P2Pool is a distributed peer-to-peer pool, every node works together and the block rewards are shared based on the amount of shares submitted by each worker on every node on the network! Payouts are sent directly to your wallet once a block is found. You can read more at the p2pool wiki. Most of the usual questions and doubts about p2pool are addressed in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0

Stay informed, and join the fight against centralization!

The new wallet with Kimotos Gravity Well and updated N-factor scheduling is now available.

THIS IS A MANDATORY UPDATE - PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WALLET NOW

We have chosen a fork height of block 26754 which should occur on or around Saturday 1st February 2014 (5 days from wallet release). Difficulty will retarget every block after this block height.

We have also backported all the fixes from Litecoin 0.8.6.2, so this release is Vertcoin 0.8.6.2

Please use the following links rather than using vertcoin.org to download the new wallet, the links on vertcoin.org
are to the new updated wallet, but it would be appreciated if you would please use the links below instead to spread
the server load.

0.8.6.2 changes

• Fork to Kimoto Gravity Well difficulty adjustment at block 26754 (Around midday UTC on 1st February 2014)
• Implement new N-factor schedule
• Update to boost 1.55 to fix Windows connectivity issue
• Fix custom build on MacOS X 10.9
• Fix QT5 custom build
• Update Debian build instructions
• Update homebrew build
• DNS seeds updated to include vtc.kilovolt.co.uk and vtcpool.co.uk
• Checkpoint at block 24200

Windows installer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share?s=uLJdNjcnQN4n9VbuUuZbVk

Windows QT (non installer): https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share?s=EICOyiLjSWks3W-ZJBDaBw

Mac OS X: https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share?s=0cyjLd8fRvIjZLFf6Y3ZWg

Source: https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin

Pool operators, please note that to make MPOS display the correct interval between difficulty adjustments, you will want to update /var/www/MPOS/public/include/config/global.inc.php to set

$config['coindiffchangetarget'] = 1;

please do this on fork day, at or as near to block 26754 as you can.

Fedora and CentOS have a crippled openssl that does not implement the secp256k1 elliptic curve.

I have rebased the secp256k1 patch to vertcoin/src/key.cpp from http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GSdYL8jz, compared it in detail to the latest openssl, and changed it so that it uses the openssl implementation of secp256k1 if possible, falling back to the local copy.  

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=iFYJsgus

Perhaps this patch could make it into the source so that Fedora and CentOS users could compile from source easily?

Thanks for reporting. We'll take a look.

P2Pool node now up at http://vtcpool.co.uk:9171


Why use p2pool?

• Mined coins are deposited directly in your wallet in the generation payment for the block, they are never held by a pool wallet and can't be lost due to failures or hacking/thefts
• Even if the node you connect to fails, you don't lose the coins you mined - your shares are distributed on the network
• Distributed (less vulnerable to DoS attacks, less chance of big pools having enough hashrate to be capable of a 51% attack)
• Private (you are paid with coinbase transactions and your public key is never seen on the network until you spend the funds)

Feel free to use http://vtcpool.co.uk if you prefer a traditional pool. There is room for a mixture of pool types, but let's
have a push now to further strengthen the decentralisation of Vertcoin by getting some more miners on p2pool.

To mine, use your VTC address as username, and any password, so your command line should be like:

vertminer -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:9171 -u Vw44xQPqgwbqZVpRzPoHe6M4jAGYceiZZP -p x

Just noticed everyone's hashrates have dropped dramatically at the la.vertcoin.org pool. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks.  On reflection, the code copied from openssl belongs in a separate file with header (say, secp256k1.c and secp256k1.h), and src/key.cpp should only call that code after the standard openssl call fails.  That way, the patch to key.cpp is only a couple of lines.  I'm looking at doing that.

Oh yes, please do. That would be helpful and make reviewing the code to merge it easier as well. Thanks again.

Ignore that - must have been a temporary glitch. Fine now.

Hi, did you talk to Bter about us yet?

[kaja]

We really need to translate Vertcoin information (website, paper, [ANN] on relevant forums) into Chinese. I'm willing to pledge 15VTC to the cause if anyone knows any fluent Mandarin speakers who might be interested in Vertcoin?

I think it would go a long way in convincing Bter to accept us as well.

I will match that...who else is in?

Alright that is a 60 vtc bounty, should be enough to get a couple pages translated. Someone want to post it ann or shall I?
