You need to post the rest of your system specs.
Here's mine:
Windows 7
AMD CPU (not all that important with GPU mining)
2x R9 290 cards (non x), water cooled.
16 GB ram.
Go to Vertcoin.Org
Download the Wallet (under the Get Vertcoin heading)
Download the Vertminer (under the Mine Vertcoin heading)
Unzip both files into a Vertcoin folder that you'll remember where you put them. It is a good idea to put the miner and the wallet into their own sub-folders for organization.
Run the wallet. I believe at this point in time, it has nodes already built into it and after a few minutes will eventually sync and start updating the block chain and catching up to speed. Let us know if it doesn't start syncing after 10 minutes (you'll see the indicator at the bottom say "XX days/weeks/months behind" or something and on the lower left of the wallet window, it should say something like "Syncing blockchain").
While the wallet is syncing, go into the Vertminer folder and create a text file. Name it something like
Vertpool.bat but make sure the .bat actually turned it into a bat file.
If its still a text file, that means you don't have file extensions displayed on Windows and you need to display them.
Click Start/Windows Logo (Lower left of screen)
Type into search box "Folder Options"
Click the Folder Options icon
Click the "View" tab
Uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types"
Click OK.
If you didn't have file extensions displayed, go back and look at your Vertpool file and you'll probably see Vertpool.bat.txt
Delete the .txt and it should change the icon. At this point, to edit it, you can right click on the icon and select Edit
Then enter your respective bat file information. Here is mine, for example:
vertminer.exe -o q30.qhor.net:9171 -u VqJFgFffT2XMZGRwVNTdmYyx4JQPvQT2NG+0.00151176 -p x -I 18 --lookup-gap 2 -g 1 -w 512,512 --thread-concurrency 28680 --no-adl -s 0 -E 0
The --no-adl is for water cooled cards since the fan RPM is missing. If you're not using water cooling, don't use it as it turns off temp monitoring and fan control.
The VqJFgFffT2XMZGRwVNTdmYyx4JQPvQT2NG+0.00151176 is actually two parts.
VqJFgFffT2XMZGRwVNTdmYyx4JQPvQT2NG is my Vertcoin address. You'll find it in your Wallet under the Receive tab, and you can usually highlight the address with a mouse click, and then click "Copy Address" towards the bottom.
The +0.00151176 is the difficulty handler for the P2Pool I'm on. I found that without it, the difficulty seems to change a lot and cause me to have higher rejects. This may be my imagination, but I seem to only have about 5% rejects instead of 10% when it auto-diff'd.
So the important question is, how much RAM do you have, and what cards are you using?
