Network issues have not been resolved at the ISP level.  Thank you for mining with us and we really appreciate your patience.

does anybody have any experiences with this pool ? I like PPS and looking for one

[martychubbs]

I recommend you try it, since payouts run every minute, you have little to risk.  Also, No Pool Fee until 3/23/14 and if you hurry might get the last 5 VTC block bonus.  Good luck and happy mining!

Thanks for the feedback Bro!

[martychubbs]

I am going to experiment with 0% Fee PPS and see if it is sustainable with just tx fees and miner's donations.  As always, donations welcome!

My cgminer configs works well with profit switching pools ( scrypt ) but when I tried pointing one of my rigs to your pool I'm getting 100% rejects.

Using cgminer 2.11.4 and 2x 7950 on windows 7 with 8GB of mem.

What am I missing?

[martychubbs]

Unfortunately,  cgminer needs to be modified for Vertcoin since it uses more memory than regular scrypt,  so you need a different miner to mine with  N-factor algorithm.  

Better yet,  vertminer or sgminer are forks of cgminer that implement alternative algorithms like Scrypt N-factor.   Both have been tweaked to perform very well with VTC

Recommended miner for windows, SGMINER.      

Windows build and example config: http://cryptojournal.blogspot.com/search/label/sgminer

The getting started page needs to be changed on the pool... Reverted to the default page for ltc.

For captainbluff,  this may help: Can someone help me get started on this? I want to stop mining LTC and switch to VTC

Thanks I figured it out last night, you should see my miners now.

Awesome!  Thanks for mining....

Also, I am using this bat file with CGWatcher R9 270X  and I use MSI Afterburner to manage clocks, fan and powertune:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del .\*.bin
Color 0A
".\sgminer.exe" -o stratum+tcp://stratum.projectxpps.com:3333 -u MartyChubbs.x -p x --nfactor 11 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 4096 --xintensity 4 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --kernel psw --failover-only 
pause

Also, try playing with  a -# for powertune and maybe lower TC...

hey captain,

I want to try this pool, how much work is it to change cgminer to work here? I am getting 100% rejects

Download vertminer 0.5.3 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nwv3wyr90imvj3/vertminer-0.5.fre3.zip

Use your normal scrypt config but remove --scrypt since vertminer knows the algorithm already...  Lower TC, lower powertune, w256 and expect half of the h/s compared to LTC.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=466867.msg5158083#msg5158083 good link

Captain may have more to add, cause I use sgminer...

Windows build and example config: http://cryptojournal.blogspot.com/search/label/sgminer

My sgminer config is also on this thread...  Can't wait to see your hashes... Good luck!

I was going to give this pool a try but your email confirmation doesn't work. It's annoying enough that I have to register on yet another MPOS-based pool.

I wish i knew why you aren't getting emails,  cause it works for myself and apparently others.   2 factor authentication is helpful when it works. Do you regularly have an issue with MPOS emails?

[greatwolf]

I usually don't have issues with it. Not sure why the confirmation email didn't go through. That being said, I'd really wish MPOS gets changed to just use a payout address and avoid the registration altogether. I mean imagine the number of times a miner would have to go through this process verbatim everytime a new coin comes out!
