is the miner update mandatory?
February 03, 2014, 12:31:46 PM
does Pool Luck (24 Hour) matter when I choose which node I should mine apart from latency?
Small tip for others..I had lots of rejects and I have followed one tip and reduced my intensity from 20 to 19 and stales went down to 15% and I have reduced further to 18 and now i'm getting consisted 5-6% with only 10-11kh/s drop (450->439)...wil test more intensisites later

finally here it is
vertminer-0.5.3 released

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

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!

github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git
release notes:
Important: the automatic TC calculation is only performed if you do not set TC manually and this is only an estimation what could be the best.
Manual tuning TC is in most cases the best you can do.

I am happy to report that miners at VERTCOIN HEAVY INDUSTRIES now account for 10% of the network. As such I have closed registrations. Please consider p2pool or a smaller pool. Please do not pile into the next largest pool

Just to reiterate to vtcpool.co.uk users who are seeing slow credits (or did earlier), the crons just ran again, and once again I am seeing tons of credits within seconds of the crons running. Please, anyone who can't see their shares showing up in their balance, make sure you've checked the "transactions" page, and if you are certain there really is a problem, PM or email [email protected]
I have to go out for an hour or two now, but I'll look into it as soon as I'm back if anyone is still not seeing credits appear quickly. I believe the problem was just high system load earlier today (which is now completely resolved) slowing down the updating of the balances, no coins were lost, they just took a bit longer to show up in your accounts.

newbie here. So it looks like the miner is working but I don't know how to setup so it goes to my account. By default it is set to user "aleks.2" I'm sure he won't mind the extra "hand".
Please help!
Please help!
You'll need to create an account on a mining pool, vtcpool.co.uk, vtc.kilovolt.co.uk, or try one of the p2pools here http://scanner.etyd.org/.
The instructions are slightly different for the different pool types though each pool generally has decent instructions how to join them.

I'm in. Now all I need to do is get my mining rig fixed up and I'll point it at vertcoin... I think this may take off.
It already took off :p
No, not yet. The boys at Cryptsy are just stocking up so they can list it soon with good inventory....(educated guess).
Makes me wish I owned an exchange.
BTW I must give props to vtc.poolz.net for a nice smooth running pool. I've had minimal downtime, and auto payments have been fine. Maybe they're just small enough to avoid getting DDoSed?

This has got to be the most organized and professional launch of a coin I have seen in a long time. Im impressed.

What is the current N ?
2048 until February 2016 - the updated schedule is in the OP.
What about this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/poll-vtc-vertcoin-n-factor-scheduling-431092
which one is correct? Please specify it somewhere
The N in the OP here is correct,
You should just download the Modified Cgminer in the OP post too.
If you could mention you GPU's here i might be able to help you with the command line required.
Cheers
Thanks,
It is ATI 5850

Registration temporarily suspended at vtcpool.co.uk due to pool approaching 40% of network hashrate.
Please use p2pool - it is better for the network, and for most miners (ie. anyone GPU mining with a modern card) it is more profitable for you.

Anyone on p2pool vtcpool.co.uk:9171 having payout problems?
My last payout is more than 4 hours ago. Before that it worked fine.

I have personally received p2pool payouts within the last hour. If you look at http://vtcpool.co.uk:9171/static/ you can see the last blocks hit by p2pool, they are quite recent. I'd search your address in the blockchain. It may be that you didn't submit enough shares in that round to get paid (if you have a low hashrate), unfortunately there's little that can be checked by the node operator on p2pool - because you are paid directly in the blockchain and the node never holds your coins, there are no payouts that can fail or stick. Please search for your address in the blockchain explorer and see what you can find.

Just wondering if anyone here using 290 non x's is reading asic quality?
I'm running 5x 290 non x's and am seeing a big difference in my 3x hynix ones @ different asic qualities.
The %'s are: 81,77 and 73.
The 81 and 77 I can push fine @ 1075 core/1470 mem . . but the 73 gets sick unless I downclock it to 1000/1500 at any TC.
Not looking for the best config here. . .I'm going to spend some time tuning them better when I get time but it would be interesting to see if anyone else is running into similar issues?
I'm thinking that somewhere between 77 and 73% there's a point where the higher clocks get unstable.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm reading asic quality from GPU-Z by right clicking the top bar and scrolling down to read asic quality in windows.
Also: for the elpida I'm always in the sub 70 level @ 69-69.4%

Miners on vtcpool.co.uk:
Here, to set your minds at ease, is what _I'm_ seeing in MPOS:
The server was very heavily loaded earlier today, even though I already doubled the number of CPU cores this morning. I've spent all day performance tuning and improving it. The image above confirms that your coins are being credited to your accounts - if they aren't showing up in the web interface for you, that doesn't mean you are losing coins, it may just have been a glitch in the display updating due to very heavy load on the server which is now resolved. I have double, triple and quadruple checked all the cronjobs and transactions - round shares are being credited normally and payouts are happening. If you are having a problem seeing your balance update on the site, please PM or email [email protected] and I will look into it immediately.
