Is different gpu-threads in the same mining instance supported ?
Cause I cant get 7970/270 towork, 270 alone works and 7970 works alone Sad

There's a GPU settings thread at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-big-vtc-vertcoin-settings-thread-416572

Maybe Vertcoin should post it on first page with bold font to avoid panic and thousands of such questions? Especially the first part about the safety of coins.  Grin

Yes I'll ask him to emphasise the safety of coins in the OP next time I speak to him.

Your coins are safe - nothing drastic will happen, and all your funds will remain valid.

You will not need to update your miner, but the pools will need to update their wallet. You will also need to update your own wallet.

You can update in advance, so you won't have any downtime or anything, and all your coins will still be valid, whether mined before or after the fork.


So the process is:

1. We release a new wallet

2. There is a period between the new wallet release, and the actual fork happening (the new wallet contains _both_ difficulty algorithms, and changes over at a predetermined time (or more accurately, at a predetermined block height).

3. The fork happens without anyone knowing anything happened, except the difficulty adjustment becomes better

The reason for the gap between 1 and 3 (the time period we're asking people to vote on in the poll) is just to allow time for everyone to update so the fork is seemless - if you didn't update, on fork day, your wallet would not sync the blockchain post-fork. It wouldn't drastically break anything - you could still update to the new wallet and everything would start working again with no loss of coins or anything, it would just be disruptive so we want to plan so everything is seamless.

As always, please ensure your wallet is backed up, not just because you're installing an update but because it should _always_ be backed up, preferably in multiple different physical locations.

Great news...! but You should implement KGW sooner, like 2-3 days. (expect hashrate to drop on next retarget if this coin stop being most profitable [price doesn't increase]).

Thanks for your input. Basically, the timescales in the poll are the extremes of what we are considering - we want there to be time for users, and especially pool operators, to get the wallet updated pre-fork, so there is no disruption, so I don't think we will be looking at times shorter than a week, but we will be moving fast to get the new wallet available early next week.


good news, thanks for the eta on the wallet update now we can plan ahead

For that reason I don't think we will be looking at times shorter than a week, but we will be moving fast to get the new wallet available early next week, so the fork will actually happen sometime between the 4th and 11th of February.

So, if I correctly understood last news - after update of coin i need to update miner and wallet (And mine on updated pool), all coins that already in my wallet i can use after update on new wallet?

In most cases, yes. An exception would be if you mined new coins on the wrong chain (the one the update forked from), then you'd lose any NEW coins from that chain.


Also, shameless promo; we could use some more hashing power at p2pool
Code:
stratum+tcp://p2pool.etyd.org:9171 -u yourwalletaddress -p x
or
Code:
stratum+tcp://vtc.royalminingco.com:9171 -u yourwalletaddress -p x

No registrations neccessary, all payouts go directly to the address you use as your username.

I am testing your pool and getting the same two lines every couple of seconds.
 
  • Pool 0 difficulty changed to (value)
  • Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart

Not sure why or what to do.

same for me  Huh
