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

[matt608]

We also have a new 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.

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

vertcointalk.org
vertcoinforum.com

Agreed, is there a way to import the content and user info from Vertcointalk to vertcoinforum?

Hey guys,

I am a newbie with respect to mining. Boris already answered many questions but I do have some more. As I don't want him to waste time on answering my questions, maybe you could help out:
1) Once I put up my mining rig and got everything running, can I just leave it alone and it will keep going? How much maintenance and supervision (updates or whatever) is required? Is it a problem to leave the system alone for a whole day (12-16 hours)?
2) The power required to run the GPUs, does it increase proportionally to the number of GPUs deployed?
3) Can you put that system up in your bedroom? I have an open apartment with one huge single room
4) Any other general recommendations apart from the hardware?

Thx and cheers!

We are the smallest large pool so if you mine with https://vertcoinheavyindustries.com you can improve the network security without sacrificing variance!

1) If cooling is decent it can/should be run all alone. Set up cgwatcher to handle re-connects or failovers.
2) Yes, lets assume you have a rig with 2 same cards, each 150 Watts consumption. Putting a third same card into it will raise the total rig consumption by 150 Watts
3) With mine (3x280x) it would not work out for me, too loud... although it would be a decent heater at winter time ;-)
4) not really

1. Miners require very little maintenance. Once you have things configured they should run without issue. For the first few days you should check up on them but afterwards you can leave them off your mind.
2. Yes it is proportional. Or in computer science terms it is linear. The only tricky issue is figuring out how much the non-GPU system components consume.
3. It is safe but you might not like the noise if you plan on running it during the night.
4. You should try to run things 24/7 to maximize capital utilization.

1) Yes but you should be careful wether the temperature doesn't go too high, but if the temperature looks stable it shouldnt be a problem do leave the rig alone for some hours
2) Yes, more GPU means more work and more power requirement
3)I dont know, maybe it can get a bit noisy and it would warm your room a bit
4)Just make sure it can get some fresh air and it should work fine

Does the p2pool network list at http://scanner.etyd.org/ have some problems? I can't reach it (timeout).

Does the p2pool network list at http://scanner.etyd.org/ have some problems? I can't reach it (timeout).

I suspect it's being updated along with most of the p2pool nodes. Should be back soon if that's the case.

[mattbigblue]

there is no vertcoin_scrypt  on github, how can I compile it then ??

edit: oh I see now, it's inside another folder

[vertoe]

P2Pool updated with the most important fixes discussed lately.

@Miners: join the new p2pool network today! Check your node's version for: c05abd4
@P2Pool operators: Start upgrading your nodes: https://github.com/donSchoe/p2pool-vtc/


My updated Vertcoin P2Pool Node: http://q30.qhor.net:9171/

Have fun!

When I buy the AMD R9 280x, is there anything else I need to consider with respect to the cooling system?

Edit: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Grafikkarte-AMD-Radeon-R9-280X-OC-3GB-DDR5-DX11-2-PCI-E-3-0-Powercolor-TurboDuo-/360848919301?pt=DE_Elektronik_Computer_Computer_Graphikkarten&hash=item5404458b05

the right one?

Hi guys,

I was thinking of how can we prevent whales from manipulating the price of our coin. I believe the current problem is that between 55% and 65% of all vertcoin trade happens on Cryptsy which, from the very beginning didn't do our coin a lot of favors, starting from deposit holdups that happened at the very launch. So if someone wants to manipulate the price, all they have to do is put up sell walls on Cryptsy and the price will dip accordingly, and then they will buy cheap coins from the users who start to panic.

I guess, one way to prevent this from happening is diversification. We would need more exchanges that list our coin (preferably bigger ones), and whoever tries to manipulate the price will have to put in a lot of effort to simultaneously control multiple exchanges in order to do that.

Now I am willing to take initiative and drive the effort of getting vertcoin listed on more online exchanges, but before anything happens, I wanted to get your opinion on this. Do you think it's the right way to fight this type of problem? I would also like for more experienced users here to chip in as well, devs, OP, pool owners etc... Also, what other exchanges would you like to list VTC?

Ideas, suggestions, opinions, please...

Cheers,
Deky

[mattbigblue]

when I run my own private p2p node...each time I restart node (reset computer etc.) my worker starts with 0 difficulty which creates huge lag and lot's of fake HW error cause there is so many 0 diff shares coming....i have to restart miner manually to have accurate statistics.

Is there any way to set minimum starting difficulty for my worker like in public p2p node ?? (address + 0.000somevalue)

how would it look,  "user+0.00001111"  ? don't think that makes sense

If VTC can get on btc-e.com & btc38.com everything would be done.

I just now bought some VTC as this coin seems to be the only one that shows me a future.

What about the Sapphire, any better? Are there differences with respect to cooling?
