what's the current diff for this coin?
i can't see the block explorer from work

47 and raising quick ...

no doubt.. guess it'll be pool mining for me when I get home (as much as I hate doing that) and get my setup reconfigured.
do you recommend one?

check vertcoin.org (down atm) for a list and choose one which is not not overpopulated or p2p of course ...

man I KNEW I should have started mining this when I read about it and was interested at launch
oh well, at least I have some vtc that I bought when they were super cheap.. but I could be sitting on alot more than I am now if I had pulled my head out of my ass Sad

Great work Boris! Much appreciated.

Thanks. Anyone else who has been affected - please be aware, I will write up a post-mortem of the issue shortly and post so you all know what happened. Hopefully, it will help any other pool operators whose pools get very big and need the mysql server hosting separately to avoid the issues I have had today.

already 0.005 on coinmarket (btw. one of the best trade sites for me)
do you think we well see 0.01 soon?

Could be a very real possibility, but nobody can see the future.

Let's see what cryptsy does tonight

Use a P2P pool, best payouts

vtcpool.co.uk keeps going down all the time Sad

Sorry, we think we have the problem resolved now. It has been down a lot - there were some configuration difference after an upgrade (we moved mysql to a separate server for performance reasons) and had some issues. No coins have been lost, and mining has continued 95% of the time, the frontend has been up and down quite a lot though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Boris, really appreciate the hard work!

Hi,

While the extra 10-15 hashes is nice, running I20 on these 290's w/ modified cgminer will literally beat the shit out of your cards. If you are monitoring them, please observe that you probably have constant usage crashes to 0% and if you have the comp on a circuit w/ lights they will be pulsating. You also won't have a responsive desktop. I have a permanent artifact from one of my power surges due to this.

If you value your cards, please consider I17 rather than I20.

I was using afterburner/asus gputweak to monitor the settings so please confirm for yourself. . .mining vertcoin is not like mining litecoin.

Not sure what you mean with usage crashes, GPU usage stays at 100, so does hashrate and yes, lights do pulsate but I think this is due to the power outages in our country due to heavy ice rain tearing electricity cables. Desktop is responsive.

What are you using to monitor your usage? Also, I was using kill a watt, and it was showing fluctuations from 600w to 950+w. . so they were definitely happening. Does your core clock drop at all? What's the rest of your setup like?

When I had symptoms as Yours (power draw fluctuating in my kill-a-watt) it was somethign wrong and soon later I had to rma 2 of my cards..first freezes came, then I couldn't power up windows with them and in the end green horizontal line on screen, and they had just few days (non-reference Windforce Gigabyte 290s)..I think Gigabyte have fucked up something in their PCB, cause vram 1 was 95-100 C, vram ~75..while all other reference cards (which supose to have shitty cooling) have vram 1 and vram 2 around 65-75C.

It only happens for me when using modified cgminer >I17. I can still mine regular scrypt using unmodded cgminer @ I20 with no fluctuations at all. The temps are all stable and within reason. . @70-75% fan speeds and 72-80C w/ 70F ambient temp. I did get one freeze yesterday, but I was still overclocking it too high @ 1075/1470. Now I've gone to 1000/1500 and they're happy for the whole night except sometimes I get a worker banned. I'm assuming it's from the ddosing happening at kilovolt but it could just as easily be due to a card starting to fail. What do you measure vram temps with?

It happened to me on normal scrypt mining. I have elpidia and the reference cards are no problem, I was mining VTC in a pool with I20 like 2 weeks ago for 2-3 days and I don't have problems. I think Your card is damaged permanently and sooner or later it will die (I remember Your post about green line etc. few pages back). Temp measured by Gpu-Z..what card (brand, model ref, non-ref You have?)

Well I have overall mined around 800 VTC..I have a rule that whatever I mine, 50% I sell and 50% I hold to get for electricity bill and until it pays-off for invested hardware..I sold ~300 for 0,0005 and 100 for 0,001..
I could have made much, but I'm still happy that I have another 50% Cheesy

Now I think I will just keep it and whatever I mine, keep too!
