3rd p2pool network for the low-hash miners is up!
All thanks to Lovok for his hard work and dedication. 3d network is using worker port 9174. Check out See http://lovok.no-ip.com:9174. I have added mine http://vtc.cubeconnex.com:9174 to the 3rd network. You can change your p2pool node to the 3rd network via https://github.com/Lovok/p2pool-n.
Cheers!

With all the hype going on with asic-scrypt miners and brand new 3th/s bitcoin miners i decided to go vertcoin.
Why?
Well... have a look on *bay and all the other sellingplatforms.
After that, read some threads about the big companies, not just one thread, visit some different forums (fori?)
But the real eye-opener was KNC!
They offer a "plan B" which means: if your hardware will be late (they cant deliver on Q2), you will get payed with bitcoin out of their datacenter...
Which they will mine "for you" with neptunes at atleast 3th/s and "all the bitcoins will be transfered to your wallet!".
So to make it really clear: they are mining AGAINST their costumers.
Killing the ROI with an increased difficult of sha (scrypt too?) using payed (from their costumers!) hardware!
I am not one of the XXX-mh/s private man, im living in germany and powercosts are too high to setup a big farm.
But i am still mining (1.5mh/s lol) because i think we need a better way than "fiat"-money.
After all: with the small profit i´m making im giving my son a bit pocket money in his study to go out and have some fun...
I am just a joe average, having a joe average job, doing joe average things...
But i believe in the power of people and not in the power of "banksters"!
just my 2 cents of wisdom...

Hi Kartoffelknilch,
how do you work out to mine on a small profibility in germany ? I have 1.3Mh eating 1300 Watt / hour.
It´s 31,3 kwh / 24 h @ 0.25€ = 7,82€ / day power cost incl. tax.
If all is fine you get 5.8 VTC / day @ 0.002 BTC = 0.0116 BTC = 5.22 US$ = 3.81 €
Alltogehter you have 3.81€ - 7.82 € = -4.01 € / day
Each day mining VTC for me would be a lost of 4.01€ / day = - 120€ Month.
Maybe you have some better conditions, but you can´t cover 100% loss against me only to cover power bill.
Don´t speak from your invest. If you have a 1.5 Mh rig you have minimum a invest of 1300-1500€.
Mining VTC in Germany is a 100% loss. I don´t know how it is in other country´s but it´s hard to get any profit anywhere
if you have to pay for your power.
@ all - on which rate are you mining and do you mine on a dayly loss ?
I can´t see any coin mining without a loss with GPU power.

Due to a serious vulnerability discovered in OpenSSL (cve-2014-0160) it is recommended to update to the new build I just released:
https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/releases/tag/v0.8.6.3.2
It is worth noting that it is unlikely that many users are affected by the vulnerability, as far as I can tell at this point, it's only RPC SSL that would expose this vulnerability, so no panic.
Linux users should update their system OpenSSL to 1.0.1g which contains the fix, and if statically linked, rebuild their vertcoin-qt or vertcoind from source (in fact, due to other recent bugfixes it's probably best to take this opportunity to update anyway). If you're gitian building, just pull the HEAD commit for the updated descriptors, and rebuild your dependencies with 1.0.1g before rebuilding the daemon and/or qt wallet.
Those of you serving anything else that uses SSL (ie. all the pool operators) should also be updating your OpenSSL and rebuilding (if statically linked) web servers etc. Please also consider regenerating your SSL keys since they may be compromised without leaving any log traces. http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ can be used to test your servers for the vulnerability, but I can pretty much assure you, you have it.

Thank you for the update Boris. Would it be possible to maintain the correct version information in future releases, namely client version and build date values in Debug/Information/Vertcoin Core? It could help identify if someone is on the newest wallet or not.
Hi IntroVert,
We did have the build date in the naming convention, but we changed it recently because we felt it was confusing and kind of redundant so we switched to releasing with minor versions instead. The QT wallets show the version correctly in the About page, but I agree the minor versions should be shown in getinfo by the daemon - we'll put it on the todo list.

Q: What's the hashing performance for Scrypt-N?
A: Each Scryptr chip can achieve about 1MH/s performance for Scrypt-N (N=2048) for coins such as Vertcoin. Hence for Neon C08, the Scrypt-N performance is 2MH/s.

I don't know how many times we have to publicly say "VTC will hardfork if necessary to keep ASICs out" - we must have said it a hundred times!
I'll say it again, in case repetition number 101 will help - VTC will hardfork if that every becomes necessary to keep ASICs out. This isn't LTC, we're not going to suddenly decide to give up and capitulate in the face of a need to hardfork, we will do whatever is necessary to keep VTC decentralised and in part that means excluding ASICs by whatever means necessary.

Hey guys, got a couple of high end rigs I'm selling. Pretty much brand new, been running for about 3 weeks, Im in phoenix AZ and its just getting entirely too hot to keep them running. Will accept VTC, BTC, USD via paypal. Both rigs run very cool, card stats are as follows
3 gigabyte windforce 280X cards on one rig, get about 1.6 to 1.8 MH on cg miner
4 toxic 270x cards runs around 2.0 to 2.2
these cards are all underclocked, PM me for pics
thanks
