Can Vertcoin be mined whit a normal scrypt asic?

[geenius]

here should be a CPU miner for lyra2re. can someone help me with this? i have downloaded it but it did not work

how does it feel when ltcgear will be able to mine the lyra2re btw?

I'd like to see some proof first that they actually mined Scrypt-N...

Right.

Further, it seems that they're having some issues lately with csrf bugs....

Could you remind me again what hashrate LTCGear's "x11/scrypt-n fpga" miners brought to vertcoin prior to the fork? I've seen how ASICs mined scrypt-n when KNC's titans were activated - and the hashrate *shot up*. But I only saw the hashrate stay the same, and decline - with no significant mining component across the entire network. If LTCGear mined on their own pool - then they never found many / any blocks. If they mined in an existing pool, they must have used multiple accounts - and considering most of the bigger pools charge about 2% fee - that wouldn't seem very economical... if you have your own FPGA's mining setup, you would solo-mine surely?

But there is no proof of any of this.

CSRF bugs are highly relevant to Vertcoin yes. But no proof no, just a bunch of VTC every week.

If anybody is interested in mining VertCoin with the new Lyra2RE and doesn't have a miner: you can rent Lyra2RE hashing power at NiceHash.com.

This coin is a disaster. For the past 30 mins all my rigs have been getting rejected shares.

Which pool?

If its verters, i'm in the processing of adjusting one or two settings - but that was only for the last 3-4 minutes.

So Algorithm: Scrypt-N can not be mined whiit a scrypt asic ?

[replicator]

Scrypt-N can be mined with at least one scrypt asic I know of. However, Vertcoin can no longer be mined with scrypt asics as far as I can tell.

Vertcoin is not Scrypt-N any longer. It forked to Lyra2RE at block 208,301

I'm trying to get a p2pool setup going using the Windows binaries from James. From what I can see, p2pool is running properly (I see it reporting on the blockchain), but I cannot connect to it with my other mining machine. I'm trying to use my regular vtc wallet address as my username, not the p2pool  address that appeared after install (actually I've tried both addresses).
"url" : "stratum+tcp://192.168.10.117:9171",

I  get errors related to 'json stratum auth failed' and i'm not sure why. What am I missing?

Start sgminer with the "--no-extranonce" flag. You can edit the batch file to do this.

Thanks James! I ended up making two changes:
- my miners use the --no-extranonce flag
- I launched p2pool with the flag -w 192.168.10.117:9171 ... otherwise it seemed p2Pool was only listening to the local loopback 127.0.0.1 and wouldn't allow my other miners to connect to it.
I appreciate the efforts you've gone to getting an easy Windows port of this app up and running.

Excellent jobs and my VTC still the same.  I will add 100x holdings as the rate is dropping from $5 to $0.05 each VTC

[mik_druid]

the alg changed but the price did not change anything! why?

Algo change has no relationship to the price i would say. Mining is efficient, so people rather mine than buy at the moment. Maybe when diff is higher the price will also rise.

Will we see 1 Dollar again?

In my opinion, mining just switched from asic owners to gpu owners.  Buyers did not change.  There's no reason the price would change unless gpu miners dumping mentality differs from asic miners.  Regardless, we are mining now so price increase would be nice!

Was there Asic invented for n scypt?

Is there a CPU miner? GPU miner is not working   

[hjurcic]

1. Download the miner here:
https://pool.verters.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted

I start the mining direcltly by starting sgminer.exe. I have no .bat for starting it.

Then you only need to configure sgminer.conf.

This is my full config which you can use in sgminer.conf. But be sure if you use this, you are mining into my pocket. Change the username! But for test you can use it!

And no, randywald is not the password of my account! Only for mining    

I removed GPU settings because i don't know your type of gpu. So you run it in standard mode. thread-concurrency also seems not to be neccessary.

Edit: If it still does not work change gpu platform from 0 to 1!

Thanx a lot, finally after changing gpu platform from 0 to 1, it is working, also with your config. Now I can try to configure mine, but it was all the time gpu platform
Thnx

P.S. for others who have the same problem, except gpu platform, next important was new catalyst.
On Catalyst 8 R9 280x was working at 133 Kh/s and after installing Catalyst Omega 14.12 it works around 700-750 Kh/s

This here is why the team urgently needs access to the vertcoin forum account, or at least transfer thread ownership. No reply yet from bitcointalk admins, I presume?

Don't spam them - but it may be useful
