What is your setup? How are you connecting sgminer to your wallet? What errors do you get with p2pool? For P2Pool the "address" portion of your sgminer.conf will need to read "stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:9175" for testnet to function.
My Setup is Windows 7 64 Bit with 12GB ram and 3x R9 290x.
AMD Catalyst ControlCenter is:
Version 2013.1206.1603.28764
In both szenarios i start vertcoin with testnet=1 and server=1
In soloming i connect my sgminer with
"url" : "localhost:9332",
"user" : "WhatEver",
"pass" : "RandomNumber"
There I get no error, but only rejected blocks.
===========================================
2: with windows p2pool testnet:
I start with:
run_p2pool.exe --net vertcoin --testnet
This seems to start fine.
It also have added an receive address labeled "p2pool" in vertcoin gui.
Then I start sgminer with that:
"url" : "localhost:9175",
"user" : "WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY26AS4CMiE",
"pass" : "RandomNumber"
On p2pool i get: (also seems to work)
l:
Expected time to share:

But after 1min sgminer displays:
[22:01:35] Pool: 0 URL:
http://localhost:9175 User: WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY2
6AS4CMiE Password: RandomNumber
[22:01:35] Press any key to exit, or sgminer will try again in 15s.
[22:01:51] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
[22:01:51] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have
input
[22:01:51] localhost difficulty changed to 0.008
[22:01:51] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or
have not set up workers
[22:01:51] Pool: 0 URL:
http://localhost:9175 User: WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY2
6AS4CMiE Password: RandomNumber
[22:01:51] Press any key to exit, or sgminer will try again in 15s.
I also have tried to start sgminer with url with stratum:
"url" : "stratum+tcp://localhost:9175",
"user" : "WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY26AS4CMiE",
"pass" : "RandomNumber"
but with exact the same dispay ...
=================
3: mining Lyra2RE on pool.
I start sgminer with:
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum-eu1.hashlink.eu:10031",
"user" : "daboehla.a",
"pass" : "a"
Here I get accepted shares from the pool. Also on the website i can watch the hashrate.
PS:
i tried all 3 with starting sgminer with .bat file with setting variables:
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EDIT:
Updated Catalyst to Version 2014.04.17.2226.38446. with same issues... :/
