New blog post: Vertcoin Roadmap

https://vertcoin.org/wp/vertcoin-roadmap/

1. PR Campaign
2. Hyper-Adaptive Block Confirmation (HABC)
3. Final discussion on subsidy reduction
4. Final discussion on increasing block maturity time

In my opinion, this is the wrong order, and it should be exactly reversed. I don't think it makes sense to try an launch a PR campaign, while promising a new feature and leaving some very critical issues (altering coin emission primarily and block maturity secondarily) to be determined at some later date. It's like, "hey guys, check out this awesome coin that we're gonna try and add a cool new feature to, and we may or may not change some critical details about the coin as well." I think the block maturity and coin emission issues should definitely be put to bed before any PR campaign, and ideally any awesome new features should be added before spending a bunch of money trying to market vertcoin. Just my two mVTC.

It's in this order primarily because we don't want to have to change the subsidy or block maturity time ideally. Thus we will only need to continue with these points if the PR campaign fails to solve the lack of investment we are seeing. HABC will take some time to implement and test fully, and we don't want Vertcoin to have no PR for that long.

Is it possible for anyone to get ccminer (nvidia) working with current pull of p2pool?

It seems its just broken.

What errors do you see?

+1 (I mean, it would be nice to have more details)

what's up with that price? for the moment basement, without asic and fly like an airplane hit :/

gpu miner facts #1 A gpu miner can't hold a coin for more than 10minutes without trying to dump it in a exchange  
gpu miner facts #2: a gpu miner miner wants always to sell his coin first, no matter what
gpu miner facts #3: Sell panic is the normal state of mind of gpu miners, because they always thinks other gpu miner will try to sell first and lower than them... and actually that's what they do
gpu miner facts #4: gpu miners love to complain about how unprofitable a coin is, that's why they don't care about keeping a coin profitable

(better than Chuck Norris facts, Gpu miner facts)

Why would someone want to invest in something that can't commit to a defined schedule for coin emission? I'm not in favor of changing the subsidy either, but I think  keeping it on the table amounts to uncertainty in the coin's future, and that uncertainty makes it more difficult for anyone to have confidence in vert.

Is there a cuda miner for computer 2.0 graphic cards? (I'm using gt540m, and current cudaminer says 250Mhs but no shares accepted)

There's no option on windows cudaminer like that. what else could it be?

hmm.. you have to set the multiplier correct.. it should be "-L (l) or maybe -I (i) ? "

however compute 2.0 card aren't supported

Problem with Verters Mining Pool. Withdraw not possible, no contact mails possible.
What is going on ?

Well, there's not a multiplier option, these are the all options I get: https://i.imgur.com/rWTal0z.png
I downloaded this miner from the first message on this topic. Probably computer 2.0 cards aren't supported yet...

there is one multipler option -diff (right in the middle of your pic -f or -diff)
and no computer 2.0 aren't supported (you might ask KBomba, may-be he will do it)

edit: fyi compute 2.0 isn't supported anymore in cuda 6.5 (min version: compute 2.1)

I'd like to add fact #4:  gpu miners feel very accomplished when they profit 1cent per week.

@djm34: what can i do with some GTX 580's ? are they supported in any case ?

[Giulini]

just transfered 65 VTC to an exchange, that was over a week GPU-mining, no cent profit at all, think relation earnings to costs is around 20 %, I am in it not for the money, but for what ?

will like the diff drop when those miners wake up at a loss

which compute version is this ? (currently there is only support down to compute 3.0)

To support the previous compute version, that requires to remove all the x-algo and probably those using groeslt or alternatively include lyra2re in an early version of ccminer. I can try to do that tomorrow if I find a moment (but can't test it...)

That's exactly what I was saying...  
if it isn't profitable don't sell... wait...  what can I say  
sure it can get worst (or not), but that won't change a lot for you that you sell them or not...
seriously 3$ do you really need them now ?
The main problem is that all miner tends to think like that... then price decreases...

I am not a big trader, but what's clear is don't sell if you don't need too...
