Vertcoin

Depends on the difficulty as well as miners on the pool. Difficulty means longer time to getting a share, more miner on the pool means splitting the share between those miners, BUT more miners means solving more blocks faster, so it evens out in the end really.

The worst thing you can do is watch your summary screen on the pool, make sure you don't have a high DOA % and just leave it to mine, you will get your reward :)

I see other miners on there with lower hash rates with their potential earnings about 4 times as much, just worried I am missing something and not mining properly.

Nah, just have to be patient, it doesn't work exactly like that, vertcoin is all about keeping it fair and stopping the massive rigs or datacentre miners from stealing all the gold :P
 
Well word on street is VTC will be new LTC. Looking at acquiring this one.

None of my wallets support VTC. Easiest way to get this one?

I'm trying to set up the wallet so I can see if I'm mining anything.

I'm just stuck at this screen. "No block source available"

Sorry for crappy pic

It's trying to sync the entire transaction history for the vertcoin blockchain. You can speed up this process by downloading the bootstrap.dat file here: http://alwayshashing.com/downloads/bootstrap.dat

Then read this short post on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/77eojk/sync_your_wallet_faster_with_the_bootstrapdat/

Once you have copied the .dat file to the correct directory and opened up the wallet again it will still take some time to go through the .dat file and then sync the transactions for the past 2 weeks, give it some time.

The electrum wallet is also decent, I just prefer the core wallet for security :)

Thank you, finally got it to sync with that method.

Can someone please show the the .bat file to configure ccminer with vtc.splatgrave.com?

Much appreciated.

EDIT:
"ccminer-x64 -a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://vtc.splatgrave.com:9171 -u VfR1PnC3YKEReo6691JhdJz9p5hkB2FNh7-p x"
Should work, yes?

EDIT2: Resolved

Okay, got it working.

CCminer reporting hashrate of 150mh/s, this is on 4x1060 + 2x1070's. Does that sound right?

Perfect :)

For some reason it doesn’t report the correct hash rate for me on the Pool. About 30% less on Pool. Tested with a single card.

The hashrate fluctuates and it takes a while to catch up to it's average. The hashrate you see while mining is not neccesarily exactly what you will see on the pool, it fluctuates a bit. Thing about vert is you have to be patient and let it run.
 
Please look at 1 day chart before buying.

Surely this will dip fairly hard
 
I've gone from earning 2 coins a day to 0 today, anyone care to explain?

What hashrate you getting on average?

Around 170MH, does it have anything to do with the amount of miners online?

Edit: for that pool I mean.

No, the pool we are using is a small pool in comparison to the amount of miners that most other pools have, the limit per pool is 40 miners. It doesn't have an affect.

The share difficulty has the biggest influence, @ 170Mh/s you would be looking at about 1.7 vtc a day.
https://www.coinwarz.com/calculator...000&er=0.00083723&btcer=6413.88000000&hc=0.00

Other factors that influence that would be your mining rig dropping on/off the pool, keep it on and mining for as long as you can to get a better predicted payout.

It's not all that cut and dry and there are other factors that are influencing that but those are the basic reasons.

Yeah, I have my 1080ti on my main rig which I will switch off when gaming which isn't very often, I only run the 1080ti at an intensity of 16 to keep it at a reasonable temp, but then I have a dedicated mining rig which is pushing around 130 - 135MH constantly, so I don't really know what else it could be. My last shares were at 15:23 at 0.009, so I actually did earn something today, but it is a measly 0.1 for 24 hours.

Ja that is too low for that hashrate, you should have at least mined 1 coin.
The share difficulty is ridiculous at the moment, but even so.
What sort of DOA % are you getting?
What wallet are you using to confirm your transactions and view your balance, or are you using a website?

I am using Electrum VTC, my DOA is around 5% or less.

DOA isin't too bad but could be better, 3% and below is normal/acceptable.
Electrum is fine.

What's your latency like to the pool? If you ping vtc.splatgrave.com, whats the average roundtrip?
