i wish i had switched to mining vert back when i first saw this thread. i knew it had potential i just didn't want to modify my mining rigs. anyhow, the coin i'm mining now, fluttercoin, the block reward is gonna start decreasing rapidly and i want to switch to vertcoin. can someone point me to a thread on how to mine vert using a vert bamt? i know it's out there, but i can't find it, and it's not in the OP. thanks.
Have a nice read here:
http://coingolem.com/how-to-guide-for-vertcoin-mining-for-windows-scrypt-a-n-factor-292/its for setting up vertcoin mining on windows, but it will answer a lot of questions too if you are mining on linux.
than you can get bamt here:

Setting up gpu-clock and mem-clock is very important => more isn't better! you have to find the sweet spot for vertcoin!
Threadconcurrency is also important don't set it too high. On a 280x its 8193, on a 270 its 6336... at least for me.
(r9 280x sapphire are ~ 350kh/s and on two powercolor r9 270 [without X!] im getting 213kh/s on primary card and 221kh/s on secondary)
You need at least 4gb of RAM for your system or else you arn't able to mine.
Consider to start your own p2pool => if you have a "spare" machine with ~ 2gb RAM it will do and you can set up a p2pool with a bit of practice in less than a hour. you dont need to make it public.
p2pool :
http://coingolem.com/how-to-setup-your-own-p2pool-node-144/this one worked for me.
or join any (p2)pool you want
i like the icon of the mining picks in my wallet
gives me some "yeah_i_mined_it_myself" feeling
greetz and i hope i could help.
