On the request of the community, we will only keep one thread for VNL and it should be in the proper ANN section of BCT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=964581.msg10547474#msg10547474
Please move over with your questions.![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFCHHIEe.png&t=665&c=sbx3yk-4xOLeMw)
Vanillacoin was engineered from the ground up and is designed to be innovative and forward-thinking. It prevents eavesdropping and censorship, promotes decentralized and energy efficient network transactions.
I am not the dev. This is an unofficial BCT thread made because the dev prefers to answer questions and lead the discussions over at the VNL forums. Please read the whitepaper and the VNL facts to get a better picture on the project. Feel free to ask anything though, we will answer you the best we can.
The coin was launched in december and was solo mined by CPUs since. The algo made the coin botnet proof and the difficulty was low. A new GPU miner was launched just recently and new pools will join mining in a few days.
The GPU miner produces around 50 MH/s on an r9 270x and the coin is still on low diff atm.

FAQ:Does the miner work well with both GCN and VLIW cards?Current miner produces a lower hashrate on VLIW cards and a higher on GCN cards. There will be different miners released in the future probably.
A user reported a hashrate of 20 MH/s on a 6970 and 30 MH/s on an 5970.
My miner produces a far lower hashrate than the other miners?Change your driver version and delete your .bin files and start your miner again. Catalyst 14.9 seems to work well for most users.
Example configs:
270xcatalyst version: 14.9
