Good time to buy while people are dumping, because it is a difficult coin to mine and generally only now in small amounts at a time the value will rocket again soon because there will not be enough coins to meet demand.

I seriously laughed at this. 

Agreed, I don't like that.

vtcpool.co.uk users - I am going to do the following:

- There is going to be a move from pointing to vtcpool.co.uk to pointing to stratum.vtcpool.co.uk, so you will have to reconfigure your miners. Don't do it yet - I will advise later when I have actually finished planning for this.
- p2pool users will similarly need to point their miners at p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk rather than just vtcpool.co.uk, but again, don't change anything yet.

These changes will permit the frontend to be DDoS protected properly.

The whole shebang is going to move to at least one, and possibly a pair of dedicated high-end servers.

Basically, I am going to sort it once and for all.

On the positive side, everything is stable and OK now and has been for some hours. It seems the changes I made have worked, and the pool is coping with the attacks, but I want to put in place measure that protect it against future attacks better, so this kind of remedial work is no longer necessary.

More updates soon once I have a plan put together.

Something weird is going on with http://coinmarketcap.com/ and http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/info, VTC's market cap hasn't moved in hours on coinmarketcap.com and the other one is showing 0 USD

I also have the asus, can you please help me out with the windows version settings.. (.bat file)

Thanks

This is a question i was wondering about, and price/performance what would the best cards to go for be?

Just felt like doing this! Rendered on gpu instead of mining with the gpu :p
If you like it, a donation would be great! Any amount helps!

Cheap VTC on cryptsy

Let me explain. Pool software has a whole set of cron jobs scheduled to run at a regular intervals of time. If even a small error occurs, pool automatically disables corresponding cron job. That's what has happened with vtc.poolz.net, at 6:31 AM EST the following message has arrived:

Error Code   E0062
Error Message   Block has no share_id, not running payouts

The problem was with the block number 29921. After that, blocks were being found but were invisible because of disabled cron job, responsible for accounting of newly found blocks. I woke up around 11 am, investigated the problem and fixed it. After that I enabled the cron job previously disabled by the pool sw. Blocks found during the time when the cron job was disabled got accounted and paid and now you can see that in fact from 6:30 to 12:11 we found 11 blocks.

Till the last time we had efficiency of 80-95% (means that we managed to find more blocks than we should in average). Last day our pool experienced multiple DDOS attacks (and other Vertcoin pools too). I spent lots of time and almost a whole night trying to mitigate these attacks (currently we have mod_evasive enabled only which helps to some extent), and our pool soon will be moved to a data center with AntiDDOS support. Because of the DDOS attacks our efficiency decreased a little bit, but I hope that we will catch up.

So in reply to the: "I think the big mining rigs have caught up and learned how to compile and tweak Vertminer", I can't say anything about other pools, but this one is not stealing your money for sure. 1% Pool fee gives me a bit more than my mining rig, but I'm spending more time to maintain it, compared to my mining rig. In the last 2 days I upgraded server powers twice - and now pool server's hardware allows to accommodate 5 times more miners than current amount.

i'm looking to build a mining pc for VertCoin. Which is more important system ram or vram? If I can get a video card with either 3gb or 4gb, will the 4gb be worth it for longevity?

one of the reason's this coin thrives is because of active dev support.  like how many pool's changed TX fee's down to 0.001 or 0.0001 even.
fucking Slush's BTC pool still has it at 0.01BTC!

There are some free mining rigs mining VTC on leaserig.net now 

Vertcoin frozen for ages on coinmarketcap.com 

we just hit 1000BTC on cryptsy
VTC/BTC    VertCoin    1006 BTC

Yes, but the settings in the thread were better than mine so I'm gonna run with those for now and see how they do.

Can't wait till I get home and rescue my GPU from this coin..
