I'm a little confused. What is a reasonable hash rate to expect with this? My usual cgminer settings give me 500-600kh/s in regular scrypt, and with this scrypt-n-factor coin I get 15kh/s with my usual settings.

These are my usual settings: -I 13 --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 12188

Now I am using only: -I 13

Right now it's giving me 160kh/s.

Drop your thread concurrency, set workgap to 2, and you should see an improvement. Expect 40-50% of your normal hashrate. While that sounds bad, remember that everyone else has 40-50% reduced hashrate, so you're still getting the same share of coins as if it was a normal scrypt coin.

faster CPUminer for vertcoin is done, based on pooler-cpuminer.
Source only, no more changes from my side. It is my fear this will be used by botnet operators.

https://github.com/Bufius/cpuminer-vert

More speed than the existing CPU miner for Vertcoin?
-> yes, nearly 4 times faster (with AVX, AMD A4 4000@3Ghz)
accepted: 51/51 (100.00%), 4.89 khash/s (yay!!!)

Can anyone make a windows build?

Windows build here http://kilovolt.co.uk/Vertcoin/cpuminer-vert-Aleks_N.zip

Enjoy!

Is there any point in CPU mining at the current difficulty, anyway?

Basically no. Right now this is a GPU coin, just like scrypt, or sha256, you can use CPU to mine them, but it's not profitable.

I think this one is not build from Bufius code. I'm not getting any speed increase.

I have a question : Why "Vert"coin ?
My primary language is French and "vert" in French means "green", so I was wondering why "green"... Am I wrong ? Huh

Yes, I believe the dev thought of green when naming it.

This is the best coin, hands down! The innovation directly reflects the needs that stemmed from problems with other coins. Cannot go wrong with Vertcoin!

best approach to prevent ASIC mining I've seen

Please balance pools guys. Vertcoins pools are being upgraded today, so the ones to move to are pool.pm and kilovolt at the moment.

No-one wants to sell any VTC! (I'm not surprised at these prices)

VTC up and up.

Now trading at 0.00006999/BTC

Was selling at 0.00008 a little after, still undervalued at that.

Yeah, at 0.00008 a normal 1Mh/s equivalent (500 kh/s VTC) would net you ~200 coins, and sell for 0.016, which is basically what you get mining doge.. This coin should be selling for quite a bit more. Looks like a good deal can be made playing the gap on this one though, as the buys start at 0.000047.

I think there will still be a bit of a discount for a while if 8,000 satoshis is the breakeven point vs. the most profitable scrypt coin - given the newness, I'd expect this to remain an excellent buying opportunity for a little while yet. As difficulty rises, in a few weeks when you're mining 10% of what you mine now per day, I'd expect profitability to start getting closer to doge.

Help needed here please.

I am using the modified cgminer and when it starts up with all the same settings as I use everywhere else it errors due to Threadconcurrency being to high. TC I usually use is 8192 but to get mining vertcoin I have to lower TC to about 4000 this drops my hash rate quite a bit. Any thoughts please.

This is totally standard, the different algorithm in VTC means you only get, at best, half your normal hashrate. People are reporting ~40-50% of normal scrypt. Of course, everyone else gets the same reduction in hashrate, so you're still equally competitive with other miners as you would be on another coin. Thread concurrency having to be lower is also because of the different algorithm. I'll ask @vertcoin to put this in the OP, since it's a bit confusing to people if they haven't read about it before they fire up cgminer and see their "low" hashrate.

Info on eu.vertcoin.org:

Code:

Please withdrawal your VTC soon, the pool is going to turn off due to high load problem in the server.

~~Edit: did a withdrawal some 30 minutes ago but it has not been processed so far. I hope that this is not 90 VTC down the drain.~~
Edit2: Coins have arrived.
