Vertcoin - First Scrypt N | First Stealth Address - Privacy without mixer

[Basnoff]

Ok, this is far off-topic (I apologize) but I thought it was worth a read, comes from the MaxCoin thread:

A mid GPU has 40x edge on a top CPU??? Disgusting scam.

why is it a scam? SHA-3 (Keccak) was designed to be parallelizable and ASIC
friendly. That fact the developers initially didn't provide a working GPU miner
does NOT mean that noone else would be able to provide one.

I ported the single round Kekkac256 to CUDA within a day (coincidencially the
24 hours that the MaxCoin developers have decided to delay the launch).

If the launch had taken place at the original date, there would not have
been a CUDA miner supporting it. In fact the delay inspired me to work on it.
That and the availability of the maxcoin-cpuminer source code at the original
launch day.

I am sure there will also be keccak capable CGMiner forks available very soon.

Christian

You did a great job, and many appreciate it.

If you want to blame anyone for this failure of a coin, blame the incompetent developers.

Instead of botnets you got GPU farms. What's the damn difference?

hello all

i've got a problem running vertcoin miner i've compiled from the source
when i'm lauching vertminer it says : Need to specify at least one pool server
i'm on ubuntu 12.4

before when i mined scrypt coins with cgminer, i created a directory in Home
called .cgminer where i putted my cgminer.conf file ...

what do i need to do with this vertminer to achieve something similar ?

thanks a lot in advance
 

[pnis33]

hmm it says "no blocksource available" for me... wallet is not connecting to the network... why?

[Basnoff]

Coda, just run it from the commandline in a terminal? That's what I do. I don't have a conf file at all, I simply wrote a bash-script with different settings I use for different coins.

[STT]

can someone copy paste a simple command line for vert or conf is fine also
Mine used to work 300kh and its dropped to 140 a few weeks later, so Im sure some settings wrong no doubt
Its a 7950

STT,

Is it the format you're worried about or the parameters?
If it's the format I can give you the commands for 7970s and 290s (in linux),
but I don't have parameters for 7950s...

ok - how can i do this ?


i've done this also ... how do i lauch the miner then ?
sorry about my poor knowledges i'm pretty new to this



pico vertminer.sh

~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
vertminer -o stratum+tcp://s.eu.vertcoin.org:3333 -u xxxx-p x -I 19 --auto-fan --gpu-engine=1015 --gpu-memclock=1250 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune=1
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
chmod +x cgminer.sh
pico miner_launcher.sh
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
#!/bin/bash
DEFAULT_DELAY=0
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xnone" ]; then
DELAY=$DEFAULT_DELAY
else
DELAY=$1
fi
sleep $DELAY
su myminer -c "screen -dmS cgm /home/username/vertminer.sh"
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
sudo chmod +x miner_launcher.sh

sudo pico /etc/rc.local
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~ before exit 0
/home/myminer/miner_launcher.sh 30 &
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
sudo pico .bashrc
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~ before “# enable programmable completion…”
alias cgm='screen -x cgm'
~~~~~copy & paste~~~~~
sudo reboot

[Basnoff]

Eh, Coda, did you put all of that in the script?

Including the 'chmod +x' and the 'pico [...]' line?

That's not right...

Hang on...

Edit:
Ok, nevermind. Just take the 'vertminer [...]' line from your script and run it from the terminal. With username and password obviously.
If your settings are wrong (-I19 sounds high to me but maybe that's good for a 7950) go to the first page, there's a separate thread for settings.

[STT]

If it's the format I can give you the commands for 7970s and 290s (in linux),
but I don't have parameters for 7950s...

Post your 7970 config and I'll just adapt it, thanks

A lot of media exposure last coupe days while it has been very hard to get money in anywhere to buy vtc because of site issues. There is a backlog of buyers I have talked with a dozen of them myself this week. That is why I am launching buylocalvertcoins.com so people can get some without cryptsy and the gang.

Yeah, these issues with actually being able to buy in any quantity are a pain, and I agree - a lot of people want to buy, but it's hard enough when you're familiar with cryptocurrencies, let alone the man in the street who doesn't have BTC or a means of getting it conveniently to then buy VTC with. Your local coins site sounds like an excellent idea - I just started planning something similar myself.

[jballs]

I believe one of the best things we can do to get vert rolling side by side with bitcoin is bypass the exchanges until we have a good one (I like poloniex thus far, but they need more volume, cryptsy haters please go there to trade, en masse if you can organize it).

So I think we need buylocalvertcoins.com.

I have the domain (50 cents first year so wth). I am willing to trade cash for coin in small amounts up to whatever point my attorney tells me to stop. If anyone wants to throw in on design or establishing a rep early as a flipper on the site, lets talk. I have no angle here aside from maximal reach to the masses. Some people just are not going to get through the bad gateway labyrinth to get it done but everybody wants a shot at getting into the next bitcoin at the bottom. Everybody.

Your thoughts welcome, even if you hate the idea I would like your rationale. I have only used local bitcoins once but seemed legit and pretty easy compared to all other avenues.  

Ps- no I will not sell vtc for paypal now or ever, cash to the bank only.

i've done this like that ( part 4 ) http://vertcoin.org/Ubuntu13-10_headless_howto.html

Coda

7970:

Code:

vertminer -o stratum+tcp://crunchpool.mooo.com:9171 -u xxxxxx -p xxxx -I13 --gpu-fan 55 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1050 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8191  --gpu-powertune 20 -s 1 -E 1 -Q 0

[coda]

so i just type this in the terminal and it should work ?

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
vertminer -o stratum+tcp://s.eu.vertcoin.org:3333 -u xxxx-p x -I 19 --auto-fan --gpu-engine=1015 --gpu-memclock=1250 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune=1


... maybe with a lower Intensity like you said ...

im kinda new to vertcoin what is normal price before hitting cryptsy   ??

It was moving norhbound freight train style the whole day as crypsty was getting ready to launch so it is hard to say exactly, took hours of processing but believe we were around .005 pre-cryptsy amd .09 when they started trading there. I will never trade on cryptsy having watched all that, hopefully by the time I am jnclined to sell any vtc we will have a great exchange somewhere but that will be awhile for me unless price goes above $50 very soon. Unlikely but anything is possible in crypto world we have proven that, and vtc is already a record setter. I see very little selling interest under .006 and fairly convinced we will retest the cryptsy highs and exceed them slightly the next few days. A lot of media exposure last coupe days while it has been very hard to get money in anywhere to buy vtc because of site issues. There is a backlog of buyers I have talked with a dozen of them myself this week. That is why I am launching buylocalvertcoins.com so people can get some without cryptsy and the gang.

Thanks that's a great analysis in my opinion of VTC today,  IDK Wtf is Cryptsys problem, they are very strange sometimes,  Why did they not hold off the VTC/BTC exchange until deposits and withdrawals are ok?  Seemed like it could have been handled more professionally.  It is Friday tomorrow so a lot of people are going to be paid, I wonder how the market is going to go this weekend

Its really only a matter of when the VTC price goes to LTC price (.026 BTC) and up imo

Boris that is great. If you want the domain i will transfer it over to you. I have time to sell vtc and buy back in through btc or may be able to set a direct transfer up with coinRnR or someone so I dont have to run to the banks. But either way I think this is what really cemented btc. Ease of cash conversion.

I also own joinbycoin.com just because it sounds fun. Thinking some sort of middling of sites that don't take coin yet.

Coda,

Don't type the first line in, the exports are needed once after you fire up the computer,

and just type the vertminer line in the terminal. Let me know if it runs.

yes i only type this the first time i open the terminal

export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

so i typed then :

vertminer -o stratum+tcp://s.eu.vertcoin.org:3333 -u xxxx-p x -I 19 --auto-fan --gpu-engine=1015 --gpu-memclock=1250 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune=1

it says:   vertminer: command not found

seems i missed something ...

Yeah it looks like you have the right miner. It's just a cgminer that's been modified to use scrypt:2048.
Simply rename that cgminer (the excutable) to vertminer, so you know that's the modified one.
