Is this coin still CPU? Can it be CPU solo mined or now someone needs a pool? have you read this thread here? Yes, you can still mine this coin with CPU and of course you can try to mine it solo with CPU only. But you will need extreme luck at diff 21 and >700MHs network rate to find a block within 1 year.

I see you are not setting shaders and setting I and TC.. but wasnt it told this version will set TC automatically and also set Intensity according to shaders?
Perhaps i was not clear enough: automatic TC calculation is only performed if no TC is set. Manual tuning is always the best (and then no automatic TC calculation is performed) And for R9 280x cards, the new calculcation is the same as the old one. Only for cards with <> 2048 shaders the behaviour differs. hi bufius for r9 280x cards: are there better settings than 8192 threads? thanks. i don't know, i do not own a R9 280x (yet). But according to an other user, a TC of 819 1 should be better with gpu-threads 2 - he has ~400kh with a slighty overclocked card As soon as my R9 280x arrives (hopefully this week but i don't believe) i can do some testing.

p2pool.vertcoin.org will go down for some maintainance soon. please make sure you got backup nodes in your verminer added. reason behind this is the huge & growing number of workers. downtime will be 30 minutes maximum.
Node is back up and running smoothly. Some clown removed the DNS without any notice (thank you for that!)... New domain is: http://q30.qhor.net:9171/static/P2Pool Scanner: http://q30.qhor.net:9172/http://p2pool.vertcoin.org/ is currently pointing nowhere! Please update your miners! Will the new domain stay the same, or will it go back to p2pool.vertcoin.org once the DNS updates?

I joined P2Pool's , but did not recieve any payment yet.
where should they pay ?
I waited for some hours, but did not get payed from P2POOLs, so i switched to vtc.poolz.net. This pool is good and stable till now.

UPDATE FOR POOL OWNERSI modded the script so it automatically anounces on your pools MOTD that registrations have been closed temporarily, and why. http://pastebin.com/ZGjD3HXuPut this in your scripts folder in MPOS as 51_percent_check.php owned by root:root and chmod'd 755 then "sudo crontab -e" and add a line: * * * * * php /var/www/MPOS/scripts/51_percent_check.php Now your pool will automatically close and reopen registrations depending on your share of the network hashrate, no more having to keep checking on it! Also, add a line to /var/www/MPOS/.gitignore like: /scripts/51_percent_check.php So that git won't pull down updates over the top of it, with the original version (which doesn't update the MOTD, and only closes reg once you've already 51%'d the network) Someone better at php (and more patient might want to improve it by building in some hysteresis so it doesn't keep closing/reopening every minute when it's right around 40% If you do, please post it, I'd like to do that but I don't have the time to hack that together right now, but this ought to at least do the job in a quick and dirty way.

finally here it is vertminer-0.5.3 releasedwindows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zipgithub source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.gitrelease notes: Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014 - changed automatic TC calculation (again but still not finished / perfect...) - increased max intensity to 21 - shaders are now used for intensity calculation --> option shaders is set: intensity calculation tries to align to shaders count (can increase performance but also decrease with low intensity) --> shaders NOT set: old cgminer intensity calculation is used - opencl changed to keep speed with adaptive nfactor - introduced first time dependent nfactor changes in code (not finally done yet) - fix for ADL with R9 cards
lets see if we can get improved mining performance Updated from 0.5.2 to 0.5.3 and working fine. Hash rate has increased 10khs per card, R9280x. Cheers This update actually dropped the hash on my r9 270s by almost 30 KH/s. :/

Do you use the --shaders option? If yes, please try it first without. Then you should get the same hashrate as before (this is a check if everything works fine with old cgminer intensity). Afterwards you can use --shaders again and try to increase intensity (if you are not already at 20). Let me know how it works. During my tests with the new intensity my 5770 does not like intensity 13 (only 62kh) I 12 (76 kh) and I 14 (83 kh) are much better. The 7950 has the same behaviour as before / slightly better.

Hi mmihai The trouble is, no-one can give you feedback! The node operators never have your coins (like a traditional pool do), so there's nothing they can check or fix. You get paid directly in the coingen transaction in the block. All I can suggest is, perhaps because p2pool is pplns, and you need to submit a minimum number of eligible shares to get paid in a particular block, that this is the problem.

Yes, you can still mine this coin with CPU and of course you can try to mine it solo with CPU only. But you will need extreme luck at diff 21 and >700MHs network rate to find a block within 1 year. We're at 22 diff now and my pool is reporting a trajectory to 28. Soon even our largest miners will not be able to solo mine. CPU mining is also looking impracticable, which is good by me since it saves us from botnets.

The 0.001 sell wall gives us some time to take a breathe and mine the last easy coins until it gets broken. I really worry about the next days, if it will climb up too quick, it may attract too many speculative traders moving the price irracionally and causing the coin to die as an ordinary P&D coin and being hated by its own community.

@boris thanks for the reply. i am just hyperventilating here I understand it takes time (up to 24 hours), I see the payments being clustered (I do not know why), I see most of the pools getting "unlucky" (consistent >110% shares on blocks should not happen). I am only afraid that my diff settings are not right and I am just wasting watts in a p2pool with nothing to show for it. @hvezdasmrti i have a feeling there will not be much dumping with this coin. I admit, i would dump a small portion if prices reach 500 usd / coin.

What is an irrational price move with $800+ btc? Just wondering. The speculators are coming, some already here. Major factor though is supply is going to stay limited and most importantly distribution is widespread. I dont forsee very many large orders swampin the market as there are not many large holders. Yet. The sell wall at .001 is intereting because it does appear to be one large holder. Pool maybe? 15btc were offered at .001 or close last night. This morning it was lifted and broke down to 4 and 5 orders between 94 and 100. 5 of that got chomped today but its really just one seller so vapor thin on the sell side and the buy wall building. It will fall soon I suspect so mine faster. Heheh. Poloniex traded to a least 126 on no volume. There is some size going there now, better than last week on liquidity for sure but still pretty thin.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-news-round-newspaper-paywall-embraces-bitcoin-most-coins-lose-value-1434856Over the weekend, most cryptocurrencies feel in value by between three and 16%, but the widely-shared losses are still some way short of the heavy falls predicted in the wake of tighter Chinese regulations on bitcoin use. Brought into place on 31 January - Chinese New Year - the restrictions were expected to prevent financial institutions and payment processing companies from dealing with bitcoin, forcing the value of cryptocurrencies down. At the time of publication, bitcoin is down 3.5% at $808 (£493) per coin, according to CoinMarketCap.com, while Tokyo-based Mt Gox exchange is offering the currency at $925. Litecoin is experiencing a similar dip, down 4.6% to $21.82 per coin, while dogecoin is down some 10.6% to $0.0013. Bucking the trend is Vertcoin; only the 34th most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap, the currency saw gains of 71.8%, with it more than doubling in value in the last four days to $0.73 per coin.
VTC - I BELIEVE ! MINE AND HOLD ! --- >>> You should put a link to that article in the OP under "Articles" or "In the News" ^^^^ In all reality this coin may be the best coin in the game. It should replace Litecoin. ASIC proof is pretty powerful stuff. And the coin just feels really good. Not to mention the best website out there. Hi Vertcoin Can we get the latest article from International Business Times added to the original post please? Here's the link http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-news-round-newspaper-paywall-embraces-bitcoin-most-coins-lose-value-1434856Some more (alt) media exposure for Vertcoin at http://blog.kangaderoo.nl/2014/02/out-with-new-in-with-even-newer.html?spref=tw People just can't stop talking about it!

Tip for everyone on P2P mining.. On intenisty 20 I was getting 17-28% stales!! and 450kh/s with r9 290 Same settings just intensity 17 and ~3% stales with 429kh/s.
awesome!
I can add to this. After messing around with tuning today after I started getting permanent artifacts. .I17 on these 290 cards seem to be the safest setting w/o destroying your card in modified cgminer. I16 drops hashes significantly, and I18 I start getting an unresponsive desktop. This is coupled w/ constant engine usage drops to 0%, engine clock dropping a few hundred Mhz, and my lights literally pulsating. At I17, the pulsating goes away, I have a responsive desktop, I use less power,the core clock stays stable at 20% powertune, core also never goes down to 0% and recovers, I have one reject after about an hour and a half, WU sits at about the same level as I had it on I20, and only lose a few hashes. Seems to be a no brainer at this point that I'm going to run @ I17. . anything above I17 is killing my cards and I've got a permanent artifact as a result. Sitting at 454 k# OC'd 1075/1470
