Yes I'd advise everyone to start using either roboform (paid) or dashlane (free) and use a different password everwhere. 

This is happening to many people on many pools - it seem's most of the people effected by it use the same username and password on other pools so keep in mind -- all it takes is one shady guy who setup a pool and knows your password, sees your username on any other pool and logs in and takes your coin....

Thanks for this, send you some vert - really interesting and cool to see something that's not a premined scam getting some publicity for a change.

Sent you some VTC!

Excellent job - thanks bengtake.

Since some people had trouble with this; I've thrown together instructions to build Bufius modified cpuminer for 64 bit Windows. Or you can just download this binary I compiled (needs AVX support etc I guess).

Download mingw64:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.8.2/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.8.2-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev2.7z/download
Extract it where ever you want, but remember where

Download msys:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/msys%2B7za%2Bwget%2Bsvn%2Bgit%2Bmercurial%2Bcvs-rev13.7z/download
Extract it somewhere. Now enter the msys folder (where you extracted it).

open the file etc/fstab and add the line (replace PATH_TO_MINGW_FOLDER with the directory you extracted mingw to):

e.g. if you extracted mingw at c:\mingw-x64-4.8.1-posix-seh-rev5 you'd enter:

Without this msys wont know where to look for the mingw files. Now save the file and start msys.bat (in the msys folder), this will create a home folder etc in the msys directory.

Download:
http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.bz2
for simplicity you could extract this in PATH_TO_MSYS_FOLDER\home\yourusername


Now go back to your msys window (reopen it if you closed it earlier), from now on I will assume you put the files in your home directory, if not just substitute where you put the files. Type all commands in the msys window, you can use tab-completion for file and folder names, e.g you type 'cd curl' and press tab and it will complete it for you to 'cd curl-7.34.0'.

First we build libcurl (you can leave out ipv6 support if you want, but this is 2014, you'll need it sooner or later.)

Finally we can get to the real part:

If everything went fine you should now have a new shiny minerd.exe in the cpuminer folder.

Lots of talk in #vertcoin on freenode about porting p2pool to VTC. Who would actually use this if we did it?

VTC market cap: 863350 coins x 0.0000766 BTC on CoinedUp = 66.133 BTC = just over $60,000 in a week!

Well done everyone for supporting this innovative coin, that makes a change from all the clone-coin dreck we see round here. Please keep voting at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vertcoin-first-scrypt-n-first-stealth-address-privacy-without-mixer-404364 if you'd like to trade VTC at Cryptsy.

New miners - please refer to the OP for updated vertminer information which is also linked from http://www.vertcoin.org

Even at current prices, which I think everyone here expects to rise pretty massively, this is probably already the most profitable coin to mine - we're looking at about 220 coins/day/MHs (using normal scrypt MH/s values), at 0.000075, so 0.0165 BTC/day/MHs.

We have our latest interview up, with the creator of Vertcoin!

Should anyone wish to donate to someone who mines ~20 a day on a laptop, our site's donation address for VTC is Vh8kGTjVwjQaBHu5qLy15o7vu7hhFHsAdf

 

Just to add, network hashrate has _doubled_ the past _4 hours_!!! Not only that, but we have some serious guys moving in - one with 10MH/s (equivalent to 20MH/s normal scrypt, so about 30 x R9 290s!!!).

Vertcoin is getting too big to ignore any longer - keep the momentum up guys, vote at https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/64057 if you want to trade VTC at Cryptsy.

On windows, it goes in:

c:\users\YOUR-NAME\appdata\roaming\vertcoin

So the wallet location

Where does vertcoin.conf need to be, in the program or wallet folder?

OP UPDATED WITH NEW WALLET BUILD

Please can everyone update their wallet using either the links in the OP, or at http://www.vertcoin.org to help out with making sure new users wallets can sync quickly, and smooth the process as the VTC network grows.

Passed this on to @Vertcoin - he is investigating now.

Thanks for reporting, I'll pass it on to @vertcoin in irc now

ny.vertco.in  has their contact sytem broken..  I tried to reset my password, and after pressing "Reset", got a blank page.  Same thing happened when I tried to use their contact form to let them know about it.  Never got a password reset email either.

Price up ~50% on coinedup, did hit 0.0001 for a while, but now just under 0.00008

Can you provide me some more details in PM? (time, account name etc)

Hi guys,

I want to give you small warning based on my experience.

Some fag probably hacked to my account on bitcrush.eu and changed payment addres to his. Normally I have wallet up all day so I see transactions comming, this time I just had to turn it off for 20 hours and that time he hacked in and changed address.. lol, so I lost like 400 coins.. whatever..
He sent it here: VssiCuXx8LCrG9pbe2ShiMTKJ5TLQYmbCZ
http://explorer.vertcoin.org/address/VssiCuXx8LCrG9pbe2ShiMTKJ5TLQYmbCZ

I hope admins from bitcrush soon tell me if it was some bruteforce attack or just someone sniffed my password?? Damn.. or maybe some shady pool operator doesnt crypt passwords and then knew my pools password and smoothly get in? Dont know.. curious what they will find out.. but better watch your account at pool if this doesnt happened to you as well.. its my first such experience.. never hapened before and I have accounts on like 100 pools..

Can you somehow "track" this transaction and identify it? Maybe if he sends it to some exchange.. tell them to block it? Is it possible?
