From which Pandacoin do you all talk about.
Do you mean this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399127.580

Is it not already dead ?

Nope, this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460037.0
It is beeing more common to release a coin with the name that is already exists... such a scam...

We know have another channel on freenode, #vtc-dev (on freenode) for Vertcoin community development. If you'd like to get involved in building stuff for VTC, please come and join us.

We also have a new official forum at http://vertcoinforum.com/ run by Casper (the admin of vertcoinmarket.com) - there's some exciting stuff getting posted there both now and over the next few days, so I'd encourage everyone who follows this thread to also make an account there please and check it regularly - we'll be able to get better organised if there aren't 20 things happening in one BitcoinTalk thread, and it's about time we got serious about getting people onto our own dedicated forum, whilst still keeping active here as well.

ok so everybody focus on http://vertcoinforum.com now?

i'm confused cuz i still check http://vertcointalk.org/ regularly and i think we should not divide the community

any chance of consolidating the forums now that we have two of them?

I'm impressed by Bter. Volume of VTC trades heavily increased over last 24 hours. IMHO it outperformed Cryptsy for now. Deposit there appears exactly as it is confirmed in the wallet. Just awesome. Seems that 0.004-0.0045 is strong support, so we go higher.

[casp3rVTC]

Let me explain why we have the official http://www.vertcoinforum.com now.

Since I joined the team last week to get the marketing efforts coordinated we have done a lot of thinking and realized that a lot of things can be improved on how accessible the team is to the public and how we can interact with the community.

This thread here is great, but Vertcoin and the community becomes more complex every day now and it makes sense to organize all this at one place. With the official forum run directly by the team, we can do this.

With the forum we want to offer people a place to talk directly with the devs. Have a place to coordinate community run projects (like the Android wallet) and also run some community wide competitions.

We already use the forum for internal team discussions so its a place where the devs hang out and the community is invited to join.

Was VTC already on cryptorush? Looks like we just were added.

very happy how my mining rig is going with this coin. No problems what so ever.

[Jeezy911]

Some major whales trying to push this coin back down right now.

P2Pool Update

We intend to update the network information for p2pool in our official repo. The updated code is available now, but the network wont officially be live until the listed date.This involves a change to how long a share is valid, currently a share is only valid for 3 blocks. This setting was borrowed from Litecoin, and it has proven to be too low for us. With this new update it will be adjusted to 12, that should hopefully improve the p2pool experience for people with low hashrates everyone. As every worker's share will now be valid for a longer period. Another change (thanks to roy7) in this update is that share difficulty is now calculated on a per-worker basis instead of on a per-node basis, so share difficulties should be lower, to make it more like mining on your own node (if you're mining on a public node).

This update requires a hard fork of the network, which means we will have two p2pool networks running in parallell for some time while everyone interested updates to the newer version. Don't panic, it won't be like hardforking a wallet, no paid coins will go invalid. It just means that to benefit from this update you need to upgrade to the new settings. It might also mean that blocks will come a little slower for a while if not everyone comes along with the update (as we will split into two). The point of this pre-announcement is to mitigate that. Also moving to this new network means that the we'll get a new sharechain, a.k.a. any shares from the old network won't transfer over.

The p2pool scanner and all the seed nodes will be upgraded to this version on 13th february at 22.00 GMT. Any node left on the old network will continue operating as normal, but will not show up in the scanner until upgraded.

Hopefully people will catch on fast and update.

so what does this mean for us end users? anything we need to do or just keep p2pool mining as usual?

[hamiltino]

so will zerocash be implemented before or after zerocoin?

[WutriCoin]

Azure Vertcoin Pool - DDOS reisistant P2Pool Node http://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171/ No registration - No minimal payout!

To connect to this P2Pool node simply point your miner at: URL: stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171 Username: Your vertcoin address Password: Anything

Fast facts about P2Pool 1. P2Pool nodes are all part of one single, big, distributed pool 2. When any p2pool worker on any node finds a block, everyone on all the nodes gets paid their share 3. There is no pool wallet, and hence no payout threshold. Payments go directly to your wallet 4. The distributed nature of p2pool resists DDoS attacks

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171 -u VbNPoxNeiNg6Bj9RwjjS4GazDbKLgUqNDP -p X

[sammart57]

Boristhespider, I've been mining on your p2p stratum+tcp://p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk:9171 and the last payout I rec'd was at 3:30 am est...
there have been 2 blocks found since then.. am I just unlucky that I have gotten zero payout in 7 hours?? miners are still up and running, averaging about 1.6-1.8 mh/s after stales, I restarted cgminer just in case but I'm not sure what's going on??

reason I ask is I usually get some kind of payout every hour or so, longest gap in recent payouts has been 3 hours... now it's been over 7, no immature coins waiting, no nothing.
got me a little worried.

[roy7]

so what does this mean for us end users? anything we need to do or just keep p2pool mining as usual?

Just keep mining as usual. It's more a notice for people running p2pool nodes that they need to update to the latest repo to have new networks.py files and a patch related to user vardiff targets. (The patch is optional, the networks.py changes are not.)

Some of the bigger pools are going to try and all change over at the same time later today. At that point older nodes will keep working but have a smaller pool hash rate since new or updated nodes are on a separate p2pool network than them.

Just keep on trucking, you will get disconnected when the nodes move over but you shouldn't need to do anything once they're back up on the new network

[Archer13]

My local p2pool node is already updated. I can see ~85MH/s pool rate on a new network. Is it correct for now?

P.S. right now new block was found, #34624 @15:55GMT. Got my 0.5vtc.
