Can Vertcoin be mined whit a normal scrypt asic?
Er.. no. Its a Lyra2RE algo now. Not scrypt.
Vertcoin is not Scrypt-N any longer. It forked to Lyra2RE at block 208,301
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
This is even big as monetary system stopped using gold as backing.
No your comparison is wrong because people bought into this coin with the understanding that the developers would be taking necessary steps to thwart ASICS. This change does not in anyway go against the mission statement.

Shut mine off yesterday. Mined for first 2 days only.
really unprofitable to mine due to the price?
Not profitable for me atm. Maybe to those that has low or free electric rates. I'm better off buying than mining.
It is only profitable for electricity price less than 8c/kWh.
so you guys should buy some to bring the price up, haha.

I say 99.99% false alarm please read above link in full (it is not nodes but mining clients that output skewed nonces f anything they are doing themselves disservice by reducing entropy in the output)
But, this does not seem the case for SHA-256, *only slightly the case* for X11.. but is the case for Scrypt/Scrypt-N.
If it were the Mining Clients - surely we would see this across all algorithms would we not?
I would still be interested if someone who had a decent amount of GPU mining equipment could test out the modifications.

Scrypt-N/scrypt/X11 "vulnerability" might be a false alarm
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/24650/looking-for-nonces-of-even-numbers
OS is skewing results and it appears algorithm is broken although statistically more "n mod 256 == 0" nonces are submitted from the clients.. very common and basic statistical analysis error (environment is skewed)
lyra2re is still a good move, electricity less and it is by far more advanced algo than scrypt-N is , all good
no extra advantage can be taken.... I am sure many have looked but you are wasting your time

Sounded a little too good to be true. Also sounded a little fucked - output of a hash alg shouldn't EVER be skewed like that.
you would have complete collapse of scrypt/scrypt-N/X11/X13 if this would be true, collapse was due to market forces (but not in full, full is 0)
also I can't imagine Ethan from darkcoin team who is as sharp as nails would run darkcoin as he runs uninterrupted

I got 2 290x's sitting idle , how much speeds are we getting after the fork ?
I think they get 1.2 - 1.3MH/s
Since I got access to free electricity , so its worth a try .Thanks anyways..

Looking forward to the new Vertcoin thread. It's time to update the first post.
When we do the switch lets give that new thread some attention and hype. The dev's did the heavy lifting with the fantastic fork/algo change now it's up to us to get this information to the masses.
Write and article if you can. Tip on appropriate reddit subs. Continue to help people get set up. Talk to vendors. Be part of why this coin is great
Time to take put this coins destiny into our own hands.

anyone with 6990? I have 1200khs. is that ok or should it be more?
I want a 6990! VLIW4 is gonna love this shit.
do you think it could be more than 1200khs??? wow and how can I achieve it?
Everything in Lyra2 is done by 4 64-bit unsigned integers. VLIW4 cards have hardware vectors - should map right onto them nicely, that is, two uint4 vectors per ulong4 operation. Rewrite search2 to use ulong4 or maybe uint8, and you're in business.
sounds good but a i have just a very very little problem. i am not a programmer

Hi to all.
Please, help me with sgminer settings. I can't connect to any of the pool sgminer says in log file:

Of course, this is bullshit, becasue there is no pre-reg needed on p2p pools, only wallet address and some password. What's wrong?.. Please, advice.
Edit: found the problem - the "--no-extranonce" option needed to get connect to p2p pool. Maybe, this info will be useful for somebody.
Another question:
My 7970 is getting only HW errors. Can anybody, please, give me some working config for 7970 card? Thanks in advance.
Found an answer for my question After installing 14.6 RC2 driver all working OK, hashrate 851kH/s with intensity 18.
