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

[DRPD]

heya vertans

working with my first personal p2 server.
everything looking good so far.

but i have no idea how to switch network.
i'm connected to port 9171 on my server so i guess i'm on network 1 and i like to switch my server to network 2 or 3.

can someone tell me how i can switch or where i can find information about that

thanks!

Start it up with -vertcoin2 or -vertcoin3 instead of -vertcoin when starting your miner. If you are merged mining, make sure you enter the parameters for each coin too.

sounds easy but i'm nor sure about merged mining.
i'm running the server for vtc, mon and plx (guide here: http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/24vpgf/how_to_mine_vtcmonplx_all_3_simultaneously/)
so my startup file looks similar to this:
run_p2pool.py --net vertcoin --merged http://MON-RPCUser:MON-RPCPassword@127.0.0.1:6888 --merged http://PLX-RPCUser:PLX-RPCPassword@127.0.0.1:7817

so i can change first part to "run_p2pool.py --net vertcoin2" or "run_p2pool.py --net vertcoin3"
but what about mon and plx?

sorry for my dumb question

Looks good to me, and yes. Just how you put it.

my GPUs simply come up and report OFFLINE or DEAD, but going back to Scrypt seems to work fine.

Scrypt-N is more intensive and will tax your GPU to the max, chances are that your GPU settings are not stable enough so they keep crashing.

It's somthing more than that, because I have several rigs which run scrypt fine.
I converted to vertminer and they were all DEAD.
I then tried a bunch of setting changes, including removing almost everything and letting vertminer choose the defaults.
Still, everything comes up DEAD, even at intensity 8.
Switching back to Scrypt, everything runs fine again and I get good hashrates at intensity 20.

So, in summary, there is either a problem with how vertminer chooses default values, or with the scrypt-N running on certain brands/models of GPUs.

It's the only way you can mine more than VTC and MON atm.

Yea, but HOW?
Ive never seen a writeup on how to do this, unless you can point me to some guide, I won't be able to.

I just created a "node in a box" with everything preconfigured to triple merge mine VTC+MON+PLX. https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/EasyNode

It's untested as yet, and at the time of posting this it'll be about 20 minutes to so until I've finished uploading the (quite big) zip files.

The HOWTO is on the main page of the git repo.

Would appreciate if a few of you could give it a try. The most likely thing to be broken is that the port forwarding might break when it's run on a new machine (I'm not sure if that is stored in the VM configuration or on the host) which would cause you to be unable to connect a miner or browse to the p2pool web interface on the node, so if necessary I'll ammend the HOWTO so you can add that back easily.

Then it's a RAM issue, how many and what GPUs are you running and how much RAM are you using?

One rig has 4x Sapphire 2Gb 7850s and another rig has 4x PowerColor 2Gb 7870s.
I don't know if system ram comes into play, I thought all the work was done on the cards, which are attached via 1x powered risers.
However, if it does make a difference, each of my rigs (including the ones working correctly on VTC) have a single 4Gb stick.

Make one of the rigs 8GB RAM and it will magically work smooth

Scrypt-N Hashrate: 1.25 MH/s

Mining: Vertcoin, Monoclecoin, Parallaxcoin
Duration: 24 hours
P2Pool Network: 1

VTC Payout: 5.3 VTC (4.24 USD)
MON Payout: 25 MON (? USD)
PLX Payout: 600 PLX (10.74 USD)

Total = 14.98 USD

Things are starting to look up for GPU miners! I can't wait to be mining over 10-20 coins at once! ^_^

Man, I have 900KHs and only get 2 VTC/day

Man, I have 2500KHs and only get 6 VTC/day  in http://simplevert.com what the hell is going on

Setup your own P2Pool with this and mine all three coins.

What processor do I need - I have CPU, AMD Sempron 145 /2.8GHz/ 1MB Cache/ AM3/


Edit: https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/EasyNode/releases  - There aren’t any releases here

I don't think CPU will be a big issue, it should be quite light on that.

The release is still being uploaded. Should be available in the next 30 minutes or so.

Is this somthing which can be run under VMWare esxi (or converted to esxi)?
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't a personal p2pool the same thing as solo mining, ie, you get paid only for finding blocks and not by shares?

Hi,

You'd probably be better off making a new image for esxi, since if you're technical enough to have an ESXi box, you're also technical enough to run just the coin daemons for the merge coins (monocled and parallaxcoind), sending your mined coins off using sendtoaddress and save the overhead of having a GUI desktop on the box (the virtualbox image I'm distributing is based on Ubuntu desktop 14.04).

If you (or anyone else) fancies making an ESXi image and making it publicly available, that would be good - remember to remove the wallet.dat files before packaging for distribution though so they get regenerated by the user the first time they start it.

A personal p2pool isn't the same as solomining - you're still getting paid for VTC shares (they are distributed on the p2pool sharechain). Your node is basically becoming part of one big distributed pool.

Ha!, I don't think of ESXi as being highly technical, it's pretty simple and easy.
That's what I run at home anyhow because it's FREE and basically brain-dead and you can't screw it up easily.

I wouldn't mind making an image, just haven't tried doing the <coin>d tools before, which is why I was interested in the pre-built one.

I get you on how the pool works. Im still trying to figure out how solo mining works. I know it involves somthing on the 127.0.0.1 loopback, but im not sure what I have to setup.
I would like to try solo mining, at least once, to get a feel for it. Never seen a decent how-to document on it though, seems like most folks assume you already know how...

Which one of the three p2pools server is recommended for 10M hashrate?  What's the breakdown?

[BorisTheSpider]

The files are now finished uploading and the p2pool "node in a box" is available (complete with README) at https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/EasyNode

This is preconfigured to triple merge-mine VTC+MON+PLX and is the best way to mine, with the highest possible payouts and zero fees.


A reminder - please vote for MON on CoinedUp at http://www.reddit.com/r/CoinedUp/comments/24yk8a/please_add_mon_vtc_team_release_mergemined_on_vtc/
