Just noticed everyone's hashrates have dropped dramatically at the la.vertcoin.org pool. Anyone know what's going on?

P2Pool node now up at http://vtcpool.co.uk:9171
Why use p2pool?
- Mined coins are deposited directly in your wallet in the generation payment for the block, they are never held by a pool wallet and can't be lost due to failures or hacking/thefts
- Even if the node you connect to fails, you don't lose the coins you mined - your shares are distributed on the network
- Distributed (less vulnerable to DoS attacks, less chance of big pools having enough hashrate to be capable of a 51% attack)
- Private (you are paid with coinbase transactions and your public key is never seen on the network until you spend the funds)
Feel free to use http://vtcpool.co.uk if you prefer a traditional pool. There is room for a mixture of pool types, but let's
have a push now to further strengthen the decentralisation of Vertcoin by getting some more miners on p2pool.
To mine, use your VTC address as username, and any password, so your command line should be like:
vertminer -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:9171 -u Vw44xQPqgwbqZVpRzPoHe6M4jAGYceiZZP -p x

Fedora and CentOS have a crippled openssl that does not implement the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
I have rebased the secp256k1 patch to vertcoin/src/key.cpp from http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GSdYL8jz, compared it in detail to the latest openssl, and changed it so that it uses the openssl implementation of secp256k1 if possible, falling back to the local copy.
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=iFYJsgus
Perhaps this patch could make it into the source so that Fedora and CentOS users could compile from source easily?

The new wallet with Kimotos Gravity Well and updated N-factor scheduling is now available.
THIS IS A MANDATORY UPDATE - PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WALLET NOW
We have chosen a fork height of block 26754 which should occur on or around Saturday 1st February 2014 (5 days from wallet release). Difficulty will retarget every block after this block height.
We have also backported all the fixes from Litecoin 0.8.6.2, so this release is Vertcoin 0.8.6.2
Please use the following links rather than using vertcoin.org to download the new wallet, the links on vertcoin.org
are to the new updated wallet, but it would be appreciated if you would please use the links below instead to spread
the server load.

$config['coindiffchangetarget'] = 1;
please do this on fork day, at or as near to block 26754 as you can.

I'm very close to getting a successful compile of the Vertcoin wallet using CentOS 6.5. It has not been an easy procedure. I'm still struggling with an openssl issue but once I have it fixed, I will post the steps to compile the wallet in CentOS.
FYI, this is technically hard enough that we should consider issuing binaries for CentOS. I compiled the Netcoin wallet on Ubuntu 13.10 a few days back and it was a cakewalk compared to this.
Fedora and CentOS have a crippled openssl that does not implement the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
I have rebased the secp256k1 patch to vertcoin/src/key.cpp from http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GSdYL8jz, compared it in detail to the latest openssl, and changed it so that it uses the openssl implementation of secp256k1 if possible, falling back to the local copy.

There are a few obvious typos in the procedure but it does work!

Guys I have a problem. I set up CGminer and the card was going nicely up to 100kH (the system was totally frozen but for mining it was fine), now when I start it again at same and even lower settings, it crashes drivers or mines super slow (10kH). My settings:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.bitcrush.info:3444 -u x -p x -I 17 -g 1 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 4000
I had 96kH at I 17, now I have 10kH and GPU at 100%
Forgot to mention: Asus radeon HD 7790 2GB
EDIT: Fixed, no idea what happened, I restarted my PC and it works again, even at intensity 20

Nice! Coinedup makes trading nigh impossible!
The only downside is it that Poloniex charge 0.01 TX fee while CoinedUp only charge 0.001TX fee.
I have adjusted this to 0.001.

More miners needed on p2pool, decentralisation will make VTC stronger!
List of nodes here:
http://p2pool.vertcoin.org:9172
All the nodes work together, just choose the one closest to you for best results.

Guys I really need you help
I've been trying to compile the wallet on centOS 6.5 for hours now and I can not get it to work.
On the shared host I am trying to set it up for building some services for the vertcoin community it won't compile because of boost issues.
Since I do not have root access, is there any way to link the libraries used for compiling to own packages? how can I build my own packages and then properly compile the wallet???

This'll probably be easier to solve through IRC - join us in #vertcoin on freenode. I will be around tomorrow, or there are probably people there now who can help too.

please announce this in a new thread.

Is this site legit? I see no history of them on the forum via search...
It is new exchange, I traded qbits there and everything went well.
Hell of a lot smoother than c'dup for sure... ok, I'm in. Thanks....

Great to hear that bter is interested.
For my part, I would say it's important that they know that VTC is not premined, is different (not a scrypt clone), has been performing excellently on CoinedUp with a (for cryptos) stable price and high volume, that it has an active dev group who care about seeing it succeed. Lots of people want in on Vertcoin (going by the CoinedUp volume) - I think bter would make a lot of money from adding it.

Would be great if our devs can follow up with bter email introducing the coin... i would definitely support it as well with an email.
Bter is pretty legit (pretty high fees), but at least it performs quite well.
