I know someone is mining vertcoins so I just have to ask how you do that?
I have tried to to everything possible I can to start mining scrypt N coins but with no success.
Could someone tell me what to download and where?
What else I have to download than vertminer?
I have 3 x asus r9 270x GPUs
I would really really really appreciate if someone could help!
Thank you!

price dropped for 24 hours from the 0.0038 -> 0.0028 
price falls very quickly ... every sale .... why guys ....
the difficulty is high ... and the price falls .... why?

Hi Everyone,
Webbs posted an update at http://blog.vertcoin.org/
Also, I must remind you all of https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5849489 - in short, if you are mining at Bitcrush or know anyone who is, please move to p2pool ( find a node close to you at http://p2pool.vertcoin.org/ ) or use https://vertcoin.org/pools.html to find a small traditional MPOS pool to mine at. While the current hashrate of Bitcrush is only 26% of the network, this is above the ideal of keeping all the pools (other than p2pool) under 20% of the network, and lots of other smaller pools could do with the hashrate - help to distribute and secure the network by mining at the smaller pools. http://www.verters.com/block-analysis shows the hashrate distribution - for some reason the Bitcrush address is not resolving on there but they are VqWrFa65uiRuRuxE2CKcVyoEfomwAMm52y - we need to ensure that when pools start getting big and the operators do not close registration, that we all take the responsible step of moving our own miners as necessary, and spreading the word about how the decentralisation of hashrate is the basis for security.

try thread-concurrency 8193 or/and -g 1
I never get nice hashes with -g 1 but -g 2 doesn'T work for some rigs.

No seems like bullshit :-) From a company noone has ever heard of 
...
If there will be ever an ASIC for scrypt n which is more efficient then the latest gpus - we will have some fun with it. But after its all paid and manufactured :-) Thats funnier.
Autoupdate and several other anti asic features are in the works... theres just no need now to roll them out quickly, they have to be tested and reliable before that gets rolled out into the main branch.

Yes, definitely
Anyway,
If there will be no N-factor increase ("Emergency schedule acceleration") to N=4096 by Vertcoin developers - just before the first day of selling any N=2048 scrypt ASIC - it would be total collapse of Vertcoin, imho
Theres not even a need to increase the nfactor, there are enough other tricks to render there hardware useless.

dat diffuculty makes impossible to make profit...
Indeed, last week same Mh/s gave me 30+ VTC/day while now it's more like 10 VTC/day... crap, guess the VTC mining days are over 
I mine as well get a little Panda Scryp-N.

Hello,
few nights ago vertminer started to shutdown itself every night in my rig. Dont know why but I made a little program which check status of vertminer and start it if he crush. Everything you need is to add path to vertminer bat file and thats it. There is also a log with details about restarts and crashes.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2t7usckmmeu0gl/ vertminerCheck1.0.exe (please remove dash)
If you like it feel free to use it. This is version 1.0 and in future there will be support for all vert coin miners.

I believed a member here once asked about developing an ASIC miner which will take into account scrypt-N by making an ASIC with lotsof RAM.
I've also seen posts that scrypt-N is useless and an ASIC maker may design their miner to mitigate adaptive-N with ease.
I quote a post from litecointalk from Terry L who is developing a seemingly reliable ASIC scrypt ZeusMiner. In summary he stated that it isn't as easy as it sounds mainly being cost prohibitive for now...

*I had several sha256 miners(which someone bought from me for a ridiculous price) and they would also do scrypt. They weren't very efficient at it because the guys had done some kind of coding that made it work. I can only assume they somehow used external memory(off-chip) that was on the units.

Terry I asked a question of jasinlee in another thread, but maybe you are still online and can answer. How difficult/expensive would it be to put 2GB of memory on an ASIC chip?
The reason I ask is to make a miner that can handle Scrypt N which needs a lot memory. If an ASIC had a sufficient amount of memory on it or coded to use external memory*, it would prevent the devs of coins like Vertcoin from raising the memory requirement of N too high. Most vid card have 2-4GB of memory and my guess the majority have 2GB, so that would limit how high they can set N without losing vast amounts of miners.Terry I asked a question of jasinlee in another thread, but maybe you are still online and can answer.

Terry L : i haven't got into the scrypt N coins yet but to put 2GB ram (i would guess you mean sram, not external dram) in one 55nm ASIC is impossible (QFN) at this stage (unless using BGA with a humongous sized chip like the CPU or GPU). it's because ram itself takes huge amount of space. however if you are opting for 16nm and BGA, it might be a good bet but considering the kind of money you have to put into design and development as well as the yield, it's way less economical comparing to gpu.
using fpga and dram is a fine alternative for now.
