my problem with p2p is that i am not getting paid since 8 hours and no feedback at all on what's happening.
really considering pool mining

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!

finally here it is
vertminer-0.5.3 released

windows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip
github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git
release notes:
Code:
Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014
- changed automatic TC calculation (again but still not finished / perfect...)
- increased max intensity to 21
- shaders are now used for intensity calculation
--> option shaders is set: intensity calculation tries to align to shaders count (can increase performance but also decrease with low intensity)
--> shaders NOT set: old cgminer intensity calculation is used
- opencl changed to keep speed with adaptive nfactor
- introduced first time dependent nfactor changes in code (not finally done yet)
- fix for ADL with R9 cards
lets see if we can get improved mining performance
Updated from 0.5.2 to 0.5.3 and working fine. Hash rate has increased 10khs per card, R9280x.
Cheers
This update actually dropped the hash on my r9 270s by almost 30 KH/s. :/

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
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% 
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 joined P2Pool's , but did not recieve any payment yet.
where should they pay ?
where should they pay ?
I waited for some hours, but did not get payed from P2POOLs, so i switched to vtc.poolz.net.
This pool is good and stable till now.

p2pool.vertcoin.org will go down for some maintainance soon. please make sure you got backup nodes in your verminer added. reason behind this is the huge & growing number of workers. downtime will be 30 minutes maximum.
Node is back up and running smoothly. Some clown removed the DNS without any notice (thank you for that!)...
New domain is: http://q30.qhor.net:9171/static/
P2Pool Scanner: http://q30.qhor.net:9172/
http://p2pool.vertcoin.org/ is currently pointing nowhere! Please update your miners!
Will the new domain stay the same, or will it go back to p2pool.vertcoin.org once the DNS updates?

I see you are not setting shaders and setting I and TC.. but wasnt it told this version will set TC automatically and also set Intensity according to shaders?
Perhaps i was not clear enough: automatic TC calculation is only performed if no TC is set. Manual tuning is always the best (and then no automatic TC calculation is performed)
And for R9 280x cards, the new calculcation is the same as the old one. Only for cards with <> 2048 shaders the behaviour differs.
for r9 280x cards: are there better settings than 8192 threads?
thanks.
i don't know, i do not own a R9 280x (yet).
But according to an other user, a TC of 8191 should be better with gpu-threads 2 - he has ~400kh with a slighty overclocked card
As soon as my R9 280x arrives (hopefully this week but i don't believe) i can do some testing.

Is this coin still CPU? Can it be CPU solo mined or now someone needs a pool?
have you read this thread here?
Yes, you can still mine this coin with CPU and of course you can try to mine it solo with CPU only.
But you will need extreme luck at diff 21 and >700MHs network rate to find a block within 1 year.

Hello Boris , why my worker VkmHTrMg5WDyuhpyaAiBkw7pd7uT7QRXnv on your p2pool have so much stale %?
Probably latency - what are your pings to vtcpool.co.uk like? If it's not latency, then it's almost certainly too-high intensity, or queue not set to 0.
Here is my config
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:9171 -u VkmHTrMg5WDyuhpyaAiBkw7pd7uT7QRXnv+0.00278 -p x --intensity 13 -w 256 --gpu-threads 2 --queue 0 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192
Maybe +0.00278 is too much? Speed of machine 2500kH
Latency 330/m

POOL OWNERS
A script has been added to MPOS to enable you to cron automatically disable registrations when your pool becomes too big: https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/commit/a9b5643
Please update MPOS, change the file so you disable registrations _BEFORE_ you become 51% of the network, and cron php to run the script regularly.

Hi Boris
Could you repost in English please.
thank you
February 03, 2014, 02:23:39 PM
Thanks a lot for clarifying, this doesn't apply to my cards then, since I don't have that problem.
This is the fix for crashing R9 cards after exit the miner, also described here: http://www.ohmpie.com/mining-on-an-r9-290-in-linux/
Hi Bifius,
Can you please provide more details for the last fix (fix for ADL with R9 cards) for the R9 cards? I'm running 270x and 280x and was wondering how would my system benefit from this fix, more stable/better performance?
Thanks,
Deky

Over the weekend, most cryptocurrencies feel in value by between three and 16%, but the widely-shared losses are still some way short of the heavy falls predicted in the wake of tighter Chinese regulations on bitcoin use.
Brought into place on 31 January - Chinese New Year - the restrictions were expected to prevent financial institutions and payment processing companies from dealing with bitcoin, forcing the value of cryptocurrencies down.
At the time of publication, bitcoin is down 3.5% at $808 (£493) per coin, according to CoinMarketCap.com, while Tokyo-based Mt Gox exchange is offering the currency at $925.
Litecoin is experiencing a similar dip, down 4.6% to $21.82 per coin, while dogecoin is down some 10.6% to $0.0013.
Bucking the trend is Vertcoin; only the 34th most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap, the currency saw gains of 71.8%, with it more than doubling in value in the last four days to $0.73 per coin.

In all reality this coin may be the best coin in the game. It should replace Litecoin.
ASIC proof is pretty powerful stuff. And the coin just feels really good.
Not to mention the best website out there.

Probably latency - what are your pings to vtcpool.co.uk like? If it's not latency, then it's almost certainly too-high intensity, or queue not set to 0.
So you're saying you can have the Intensity set too high? I am running `-i 19`. I'm seeing mostly accepted shares and a low latency but rarely any payouts. Could that be the reason? Is having a too high intensity "silently fail," etc?
