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.
There is a BAMT 1.5 and 1.6 that are modified for Vertcoin. You should be able to google the reddit post. Just make sure you don't panic, like I did, if it crashes after a few minutes while using your 'normal' Scrypt configuration.
I have a 3 R9 290 rig that would mine fine until it would randomly crash/cap memclock at 300/require restart/etc.
I figured out I needed to lower my TC, and change 1000/1500(engine/mem) to 950/1500. It could be very different for you. Also, understand that VTC mining hashes at about half the rate. So aspire your configurations for half of 'normal' Scrypt's potential. Maybe a little lower than half for stability/less rejects.
