Boris - Not sure if you're able to help but when LA/NY went down yesterday I aimed about 2mh/s towards the p2p pools for about 8 hours.

I eventually switched out because I have yet to see a payment. Is there any reason why they wouldn't payout in that time? I would like to use P2P but being burnt about 50-60 vtc in that time stings.

The address the worker was under: VxBDwYwC71LDTuzanVNx9ZEVAG9s1sWYF8

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

This is actually the first coin I have ever bought other than BTC that I feel like holding on to.
The team is A+ and so is the coin. Finally something everyone has been waiting for after waves
of terrible clones and jokes.

As I write - at coinedup.com people are starting to take down the 0.0015 wall now. It was 6 BTC I think now it's 3.

UPDATE FOR POOL OWNERS

I modded the script so it automatically anounces on your pools MOTD that registrations have been closed temporarily, and why.

http://pastebin.com/ZGjD3HXu

Put this in your scripts folder in MPOS as 51_percent_check.php owned by root:root and chmod'd 755 then "sudo crontab -e" and add a line:

* * * * * php /var/www/MPOS/scripts/51_percent_check.php

Now your pool will automatically close and reopen registrations depending on your share of the network hashrate, no more having to keep checking on it!

Also, add a line to /var/www/MPOS/.gitignore like:

/scripts/51_percent_check.php

So that git won't pull down updates over the top of it, with the original version (which doesn't update the MOTD, and only closes reg once you've already 51%'d the network)

Someone better at php (and more patient Wink might want to improve it by building in some hysteresis so it doesn't keep closing/reopening every minute when it's right around 40% Huh If you do, please post it, I'd like to do that but I don't have the time to hack that together right now, but this ought to at least do the job in a quick and dirty way.

I absolutely LOVE this coin, been following it since the launch, a shame tho that i've only been mining since 3 days because they couldn't deliver my rig sooner.

From tomorrow onwards i'll do everything I can to promote this coin. (See the link in my signature for references)

Cheers guys and keep it up!

Looks like we're about to pass 1GH on the network for the first time tonight, equivalent to roughly 2GH on normal scrypt coins.

I guess this coin will be dumped soon because it is very profitable.
What makes sense to sell something that will cost 100 times more?

You think it will cost 100 times more, but you don´t know it. But I am not an enemy. This coin can substitute litecoin when scrypt asics arrive to general market. I am mining and holding.

I'm sure some will, but I'm holding. This coin has great potential and a solid community already.

So that you can spread the currency. . .the more in this with us the better! Don't sell it all..you don't even have to sell much..but make sure someone without a mining rig can at least get a little and feel like it's more!

You mean like Bitcoin? Good! Just like LTC and BTC. This can replace Bitcoin as well as Litecoin.
It has everything they have and more.

I am mining this coin so I hope it can become "the one". But it is very young and we are going to see a few dumps.

It's entirely healthy for a market to shake out some sellers - they have their opinion of whether selling or buying is the better option, I have mine. The market will find a price, indeed it's the only thing that can.

+1

Also there is not much out there to dump. You have become jaded by the clone carnies. Im not selling, still have a lot more to get bought.  Not sure what the pools can unload in a day but there are no stockpiles and i would ride it back to zero than sell here without regret so... We will see extreme volatility for sure but this ain't doge country.

Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin father(or fathers), made Bitcoin as decentralized. This is a mandatory condition for the cryptocurrency existence.

I think, philosophically, this is why Vertcoin is so successful - the single, most important aim of the project is to restore, protect and develop in at a core level the decentralization that is the actual reason for Bitcoins existence - all the technical stuff is a toolkit to achieve that aim.

Satoshi created something with an emergent property about it - the world changing nature of cryptos, that still has barely begun to scrape the surface of the mainstream consciousness. Then, quite legitimately I might add, some clever people came along and broke the core principle (decentralization) on which it depended, because there was a financial incentive to do so, and people quite rationally and morally think with their pockets.

VTC is the natural next step in this process - Satoshi laid the foundations, now that there has been time for the risks to make themselves apparent, something better has come along that has the benefit of hindsight and is able to deal with those risks.

I think $50 could prove to be like akin to predictions that no-one would ever want a computer in their home, or that no-one could ever want more than 640kb of RAM.

All hail Satoshi Nakamoti, builder of the foundations beneath us.

confused developer
i tested p2pool for the last 8 hours and it gave me nice and constant payouts.
I received the first payout after ~30 min of mining.

But what i wonder about is that the p2pool page (http://vtcpool.co.uk:9171/static/) only shows around 600 kH/s (stale shares included) and my cgminer says i have around 800 KH/s
Whats up with the difference?

So i've been mining p2p now for the last couple of hours but it is normal that my last payout was almost 2 hours ago? I'm hashing just fine..

Same here...last payout 2014-02-03 05:50:53   but I'm hashing all the time since ~9hours...

I had a 1,5h break of payouts between 6:50 and 8:20 (CET)
Since then payouts are coming constant again every 10 to 20 min.

What about your hashrates? Do you see differences as well between p2pool shown rate and cgminer?

I also have seen several long breaks in p2pool VTC payouts.   During these breaks my miners are showing consistent hashrate, and very low rejects (I am 17ms to the p2pool node) and the P2Pool graphs are still showing accepted shares. I am also seeing p2pool blocks being paid out, but my payout address is not among those being paid during these breaks.  Other miners that are continuously mining on the same P2Pool are being paid for these blocks, and others are not.  Do I need to cite examples?

Share difficulty has grown with the network difficulty, so finding a share now is harder. I'm also seeing some pauses in payouts, then it starts again after a while.

Tip for everyone on P2P mining..
On intenisty 20 I was getting 17-28% stales!! and 450kh/s with r9 290
Same settings just intensity 17 and ~3% stales with 429kh/s.

awesome!

I can add to this.

After messing around with tuning today after I started getting permanent artifacts. .I17 on these 290 cards seem to be the safest setting w/o destroying your card in modified cgminer.

I16 drops hashes significantly, and I18 I start getting an unresponsive desktop. This is coupled w/ constant engine usage drops to 0%, engine clock dropping a few hundred Mhz, and my lights literally pulsating. At I17, the pulsating goes away, I have a responsive desktop, I use less power,the core clock stays stable at 20% powertune, core also never goes down to 0% and recovers, I have one reject after about an hour and a half, WU sits at about the same level as I had it on I20, and only lose a few hashes.

Seems to be a no brainer at this point that I'm going to run @ I17. . anything above I17 is killing my cards and I've got a permanent artifact as a result. Sitting at 454 k# OC'd 1075/1470

Is it 290 or 290x? Thos engine clock makes You thoose artefacts! Do You use any diff modificator next to Your wallet addres? what TC are You using with theese locks 1075/1470?

It's a 290. I've had it run @ those clocks for 2 weeks straight on regular scrypt. I guess I haven't owned them very long (only about 6 weeks). . but I would think that the damage was done only when switching from cgminer to modified cgminer. I could just as easily be totally wrong though, but I've talked to quite a few people/browsed lots of threads that ran those clocks on this card with no problems in regular cgminer as their regular running speeds. Keep in mind I'm referring to hynix ram cards, not elpida.

I've had artifacts before, but they've gone away when I downclocked or lowered intensity. Now I have a permanent half centimeter by 20cm line going down my screen w/ cgminer showing up in there. It keeps going away and popping up randomly after 20+ restarts, and even when using the comp normally. I think it's definitely burned into the cards. Personally what I think did it is a power surge at >17 intensity, where the PSU couldn't filter it out by whatever means. . .as my lights were literally pulsating before I found the right intensity.

I run in the 24550 to 25000 range. Honestly I get a couple more hashes at 25k and use 3173.9 Mb of the ram on the cards.

Either way, it's nice to see the cards happy again rather than getting sick all the time. I'm probably going back to the 1000/1500 or 1050/1450 clocks as this seems the safest alternative without having the chance of damaging from OC'ing the cards. The most stable matchup I've found has been the 947 stock engine and 1250 stock memory settings. . but I'll probably save that setting for summertime. Thank you for posting your intensity before, it's nice to hear that other people don't want housefires and RMA's too.

 i have a puny r9 280x. at current prices, until diff 100, the coin is profitable compared to alternatives.

i expect multipools will do anything to try and mine it.

The 0.001 wall is gone.

Heading to 2 million cap.

Noticed 2.92BTC order traded on poloniex earlier at .00146 for 2,000VTC  

Guess someone really doesnt like trading on coinedup. That is high so far though.

Wow next step at 0.002 now.. very exciting watching this unfold.  Even though it not as easy mining it anymore .. but still, glad to see it all play out.
