are we able to mine directly from the wallet with cpu with no additional setup?
just open the console and input: setgenerate true
Yes, however this is highly inefficient (even at the first stages of the coin). I would recommend you mine with a pool. When phase2 rolls around I'll explain how mining will have to change to accommodate the built-in ASIC resistance. Don't worry, the client is programmed to handle the fork seamlessly.
I'm a little confused..
Will I be able to mine this, just like any other Scrypt coin? (Such as litecoin, earthcoin etc.)
Or will I need to modify my .conf differently? I don't want to be going crazy at the last minute trying to figure it out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yes and no. Eventually you'll have to switch out your old scrypt miner and use a scrypt-N miner (either the ones provided by VertCoin or the ones I'll provide to the community). But that's in June.
Also... you should have a different conf for each coin because they connect to different node servers... o.O
Syncoin, thanks for the respond.
Sorry, I mean't the .bat file (or .conf file in linux which is my case.), could I use the same settings as with any other scrypt coin? Or do I need change something different? The .conf file with the nodes I won't be messing with so I'm planning to mine via a pool.
Here are my current settings:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "
http://xxx.xxxxx.org:3336",
"user" : "xxxx.1",
"pass" : "x",
"pool-priority" : "0"
}
]
,
"temp-cutoff" : "95,95,95,95",
"temp-target" : "75,75,75,75",
"intensity" : "13,13,13,13",
"vectors" : "1,1,1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256,256,256",
"kernel" : "scrypt,scrypt,scrypt,scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2,2,2",
"thread-concurrency" : "11200,11200,11200,11200",
"shaders" : "2048,2048,2048,2048",
"gpu-engine" : "1080,1080,1080,1080",
"gpu-fan" : "30-95,30-95,30-95,30-95",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500,1500,1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0,0,0,0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0,0,0,0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000",
"temp-overheat" : "85,85,85,85",
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"auto-fan" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"expiry-lp" : "3600",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"no-show-processors" : true,
"no-show-procs" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"scrypt" : true,
"skip-security-checks" : "0",
"submit-stale" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/share/bfgminer"
}
Or I'll be able to keep the settings above and all I simply have to do is switch from my scrypt miner (bfgminer)to a scrypt N miner (such as the one provided from vertcoin)?
Sorry I'm new to the whole scrypt N thing and trying to understand it. Thanks in advance.
