If you download the modified source here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iu1ieqz2th5kfhj/o_G3gRnGMa/cgminer-vertcoin.tgz there is a good guide on compiling for linux here https://coinaxis.com/index.php/tutorials/entry/how-to-configure-linux-and-build-cgminer-for-bitcoin-and-litecoin
Make sure you compile the modified source, else it won't work.

Many thanks to Aleks for releasing the CPU-enabled CGminer. Can we get that for Linux as well?

I'm finding the odd block with the windows version. I compiled for linux, but have seen only rejected blocks so far, perhaps I did something wrong.

Can someone else compile and post a linux binary?

so is CGminer working?
How much you get from scrypt 1 mh/s here?
How about market? Did it build up? Is anyone buying / selling this coins? What price..
thanks, new to this coin.. looks promising as it is not another scrypt clone..

cgminer mod works.  Expect about half your normal hashrate on amd gpus, and expect to spend some time tuning your settings, as they'll be different from normal scrypt mining (lower thread count is the main thing).

cgminer is working. Network hashrate is about 35MH/s, so if blocks are being generated at the target rate of one every 2.5 minutes (which since the last difficulty change, they aren't so far off) then 576 blocks are generated per day, or 28,800 coins. If you're 1/35th of the network, you should be able to mine about 823 coins per day, assuming the hashrate stayed the same - the network hasrate is continuing to grow a lot though as the CPU miners find and install the patched cgminer, so you'll probably get less than that, potentially a lot less depending on how many GPUs hit the network over the next few hours.

Since we dont want GPU on this coin!

Wrong answer.  CPU only coins are garbage because they're controlled entirely by botnets.  Anyone you see arguing for one is just an illegal botnet operator.  From my understanding, GPU should have less of an advantage over CPU over time, but will still have advantage.

This coin is the first logical evolution of LTC and isn't marred by the premine scandals of Freetrade & MMC.

I like how we got gpu miner for your coin within 2 days. So much for cpu-only coin. If you do something, do it properly, not half-assed.

For the 10th time, nowhere in the original post does it mention ANYTHING about this being a CPU only coin.  Been lots of crying botnet operators posting in this thread so far.  This coin is an evolution of LTC, not a get rich quick scheme for botnet operators.

The GPU miner was also openly available from the start, so nobody was at any disadvantage like how Quark launched and people developed GPU miners and kept them secret and closed source.  The release of this coin is as legit as it comes.

Actually the modded cgminer wasn't available until a day after launch..  It was initially only minable with the wallet.  The dev did initially state he wanted to keep out GPUs (during pre-ANN), but later decided that preventing ASICs was the main goal.  I'm glad that's the direction this coin went, because GPUs are a good medium between the big-money ASICs on one end of the spectrum and the CPU botnets on the other end.

Forget-about-it
the cgminer just went form 200-300khash to 10 when i restarted it.... everything seems normal but it wont spool up again Sad

The cpu mining is worthless mining 24hr with 2x I7-4770 hashrate 2900 each.

Found a stunning 50 vt..... i am moving away from this coin.

When were you mining?  I found 200 on my I7-4771 with 7 threads in the first 2 hours..  Heh, after that the cloud miners took over for a good while though.  new CPU miner is out, maybe give it a try on a pool?

The announcement post says nothing about CPU only. Here - directly from the OP.

Is this cpu-only mining ?
Answer : We will start N = 2048. N = 2048 cannot prevent some GPU cards to mining, but we agree that it will take time to come up with miner software. After the software comes out, we just hope the N will go up enough to prevent GPUs again. Smiley

Man I really hope this coin takes off.  This *could* be the next litecoin, given the level of innovation

I agree, my congratulations to the OP on giving us something interesting for a change.


Level of innovation? He changed one setting.


Okay, fair enough, but remember the memory requirement increases over time and this puts a major wrench in ASIC mining and a minor wrench in GPU mining.  8 months from now when litecoin is thoroughly raped by ASIC miners the GPU miners will need something to move to, and this is a lot more appealing than Quark.  I guess it could also end up being any one of the scrypt-jane coins though.

So, dropbox exceeded bandwith limit, can someone reupload the miners? I want to post them on reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/

I uploaded them to my server.  Shouldn't be a bandwidth problem there!
