I'm holding at least half my VRT stash for when scrypt ASICs actually show up for sale, and at least a quart of it for a year or so after they've hit the market. I think this is going to be a good long term coin (though not bad short term either -- 0daycoin prices can get you $40/day on an R9 290)

really, has anyone ever try the windows gpu cgminer one (the Vertcoin-CGMinerAleks_NR3.zip) ??
it doesn't work!
all my gpu (270x, 280x) always reported all hardware errors
even with the lowest concurrency below 1k, low/high intensity doesn't matter, all hardware errors.
also, with 280x, if you try to set any concurrency above 4k, the windows cgminer will just quit complaining not enough memory..
so i guess everyone is using the linux one.. cause almost everyone that posted their cgminer setting here are setting their concurrency above 8k and working.
but that windows cgminer mod just simply doesn't allow that whatsoever..

how much hashes does an i5 give?
i7 giving about 2.5KH/s for me, I think it would be very similar.

Is it possible to solo this coin anymore?
I have been solo mining today with a 2x 280x rig. Have found 12 blocks in 10 hours.

We got a press in here : http://cryptopulse.com/vertcoin-live/
Awesome. Does anyone know how to contact them - it seems the article was written before we had an exchange as it doesn't mention 0daycoins.com
Contact us page doesn't have an email address??? Anyone can tweet to them - don't use twitter here.

I am waiting for the Litecoin community to get agitated resulting into people diversifying into vertcoins from litecoins. even if 10% of current litecoin supporters back this coin up. it would be worth 1/10 of a litecoin.
Definitely a Hold or Buy status on this one. Lol at miners selling them cheaply on 0daycoins.

we have grown 7x since yesterday!
Whoa. This was hard enough to mine at the start!
Its definitely cheaper to buy at 0daycoins rather than mining.
Yeah, some miners maybe dumping cheap - I'm holding this. I might even buy some at these prices, but I'm mining too, I don't think it'll be this cheap in a day or two.

Thanks..that got me on the right track but had to half the thread-concurrency to 12250 otherwise it was throttling to 8khps. By reducing it to to 12k, and changing engine to 1080, I am averaging around 340 khps.
Cool, yeah, I can run 24550 on R9 290, but I have a bit more VRAM. 340khps sounds _really_ good - I'm only just squeezing 400 from the 290s.

Network hashrate is now 85MH/s (equivalent to about 180-200MH/s normal scrypt), so at 340KH/s you'd be about 0.4% of the network, so with blocks every 2.5 minutes you'd expect a block about every 10 hours, so yeah, you could just about solo today, but probably not by tomorrow. The pools all seem honest on this coin, so to reduce variance I'd just take the 1-2% hit and pool mine it - I'm pooling with 2MH/s.

I'm not sure what -v is? Try removing that entirely. Take out --shaders, since it's redudant if you're specifying --thread-concurrency (it gets overrideen), --gpu platform I'm not familiar with, same with -d. I suspect -l 1 is specifying a !=2 lookup gap which can kill performance. On a 280x you should be able to get higher TC as well.
Try:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -w 512 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 24550 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --temp-cutoff 85 -o http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:5888 -u x -p x
Try:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -w 512 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 24550 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --temp-cutoff 85 -o http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:5888 -u x -p x

Hey guys i just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is mining
we have grown 7x since yesterday!
dont forget to stop by and say hi irc FREENODE #vertcoin
cya there

Can anyone provide an example command line for Bufius' modified cgminer. I am trying to use my R9 280x with it and when I add the --scrypt i only get around 8 khps.
This is the command line:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -w 256 -v 1 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1080 --shaders 2048 --temp-cutoff 85 --gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -o http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:5888 -u x -p x
