Thing is, the higher the price is, the more unsustainable the price becomes. As the inflationary curve requires ~56k USD per day just to sustain the price (28800 coins per day X 2$ per coin) one month of mining requires a capital inflow of 1.7 million USD - just to keep the price steady. And with Vert becoming a mining attraction through coinwarz, it's a double edged sword: On one hand Vert gains publicity on the other hand it also "gains" a lot of mine&dumpers. It's a difficult situation to balance and holders know that the chart/price spikes are more risky to hold. Thing is, the higher the price is, the more unsustainable the price becomes.

remember that:

- not all miners are dumping coins... maaany keeping them for days or weeks or way way more ...

- If more miners joining the mining fun - same amount of coins are spread into them ... there are not additional coins generated ... so rising hashrate pretty wont change anything to price - in general matters...



If Vertcoin really will be the true alternate and solution for all gpu miners... then either we wish or not... its price will be rising slowly (in matter of days/weeks in general) as will be visible by more and more as important coin...

Well sure - there will be dumps... maaany dumps

Most important to not meet any whale who will make chaos ... by striking high pump and then dump .. as mostly this is what is hitting hard coins remember that:- not all miners are dumping coins... maaany keeping them for days or weeks or way way more ...- If more miners joining the mining fun - same amount of coins are spread into them ... there are not additional coins generated ... so rising hashrate pretty wont change anything to price - in general matters...If Vertcoin really will be the true alternate and solution for all gpu miners... then either we wish or not... its price will be rising slowly (in matter of days/weeks in general) as will be visible by more and more as important coin...Well sure - there will be dumps... maaany dumpsMost important to not meet any whale who will make chaos ... by striking high pump and then dump .. as mostly this is what is hitting hard coins ikkkkkk

In the name of being diplomatic and not making a fuss, I've held back on saying anything about this for a while, but now we need to talk about it.



While we've achieved fantastic things in terms of p2pool, and Vertcoin has the highest proportion of p2pool mining of any chain I'm aware of, we do have an issue with one or two pools, as Verters great work has revealed at



Namely, bitcrush and vertco.in are both rather too big. I have no doubt they are good pools (after all, so many of you wouldn't be there if they weren't) but that's not the point.



Some of you may believe, because it's called a 51% attack, that you need 51% of the network hashrate to do it. Not so - it's just that if you have 51% of nethash you can _ALWAYS_ do it. If you have less, you have a smaller probability of accomplishing it, in proportion to how small your hashrate is (ie. it's incredibly unlikely, but you could in theory do it with 1kh/s).



Let me put some figures on this for you:



With 25% of nethash (which is what bitcrush and vertco.in both have at present), the probability of an attacker successfully orphaning the commonly used 6 confirmations is about 5%. It rises exponentially though, and if these pools grow to 30% of nethash, they would have a 13% chance of accomplishing that attack. Let them get to 35% of nethash and it's a 28% probability.



On the flip side however, it doesn't take a massive reduction in their hashrate to vastly reduce that probability - for example, with 20% of nethash a pool has only a 1.5% probability of accomplishing such an attack, and at 15% of nethash it's down to a much more acceptable 0.2% probability.



The other issue is, two big pools could in theory collude. I am personally satisfied this is no issue here, because I know that Bushido runs vertco.in and is not about to attack his own coin, but it still is an issue, and we shouldn't need to trust anyone here - the whole point of this is to make things trustless and secure by design.



I'm very proud of the way we've managed to get the p2pool adoption in VTC so strong, but let's not rest on our laurels - there is still much work to be done. Please consider moving if you're on bitcrush or vertco.in, preferably to p2pool.



Remember fees are lower on p2pool generally, payouts are higher and you're helping the network - http://p2pool.vertcoin.org/ will show you all the p2pool nodes that can be detected and selecting one close to you geographically is best (also setting one or two others as failover in your miner config) - the advantages of p2pool are manyfold, including that the pool operator cannot lose or steal your coins either through malice, incompetence or getting hacked, because they never hold the coins (they are paid directly to the miner), also, if the p2pool node you are on fails, you still get paid your shares because they are distributed on the sharechain, and not stored on any one node to be lost due to a failure.



If you don't wish to use p2pool, at least try to join a smaller pool. Ideally I'd love to see everyone using p2pool but that's not realistically going to happen and it's actually not ideal for very small (ie. less than one modern GPU) miners, but even if we could get all the traditional pools down to at most 15% of nethash, that would be a very significant achievement.

I honestly was kind of skeptical on using a P2Pool because of what was required to make a server. After reading further into it and realizing I can pick a node in P2Pool based on the ping, fee, and uptime. I picked one with a low ping, .5% fee, and uptime of over 30 days for my primary mining pool. You simply just copy and paste the address into your mining config for cgminer/vertminer, like you typically would.



Compared to using a pool it seems I get paid more coins and exceed my profits from using a pool. It also feels nice to have my coins directly put into my wallet and see exactly how many confirmed/ immature(freshly mined) coins I have



At this point, if you are still pool mining Vertcoin (VTC) on a regular pool, you are only sacrificing profits, decentralization of mining power, and a chance of leaving the blockchain susceptible to an attack.

If you switch to a p2pool pool try lowering your intensity by 1 or 2, you will get much less rejects resulting in a higher hashrate.

If you are running a single thread/card (-g 1) try this

7850 normal -I 18 p2pool -I 16

7950 normal -I 18 p2pool -I 17

270 normal -I 18 p2pool -I 17 or -I 16

290(x) normal -I 20 p2pool -I 18 or -I 17

So slower cards need to lower intensity more. Why the 290 needs a lower I i don't know though.

That's strange. Make sure you are putting your VTC Wallet address as your user parameter in vertminer. About 10-15 minutes later I started getting confirmations. I have a 3 MH/s rig. That's strange.

The other alternative is get another two or three pools to the same size as the top two. Alongside P2pool, this would effectively stop this from being an issue.

Actually i really like mining on p2pool, but with current sharerate is too high, is almost impossible to get share for little miner.



I'm sorry if this already asked, but is it possible to divide p2p network into two ? i mean, make another with less share spread but with lower sharerate so little miner can join p2pool too ? like the old p2p network if i remember correctly.



i don't mind getting pay less frequent but with high possibility to get share. Last time i try p2pool, only get 1 share /12h with my 280x ...

...Remember fees are lower on p2pool generally, payouts are higher and you're helping the network - http://scanner.etyd.org/ will show you all the p2pool nodes that can be detected and selecting one close to you geographically is best (also setting one or two others as failover in your miner config) - the advantages of p2pool are manyfold, including that the pool operator cannot lose or steal your coins either through malice, incompetence or getting hacked, because they never hold the coins (they are paid directly to the miner), also, if the p2pool node you are on fails, you still get paid your shares because they are distributed on the sharechain, and not stored on any one node to be lost due to a failure.... The other alternative is get another two or three pools to the same size as the top two. Alongside P2pool, this would effectively stop this from being an issue.

Actually i really like mining on p2pool, but with current sharerate is too high, is almost impossible to get share for little miner.



I'm sorry if this already asked, but is it possible to divide p2p network into two ? i mean, make another with less share spread but with lower sharerate so little miner can join p2pool too ? like the old p2p network if i remember correctly.



i don't mind getting pay less frequent but with high possibility to get share. Last time i try p2pool, only get 1 share /12h with my 280x ...



*i don't really understand how p2pool work, but it is possible to do this ?

In many pools it is required to set the difficulty manually for smaller rigs in order to get shares accepted. Have a look at: In many pools it is required to set the difficulty manually for smaller rigs in order to get shares accepted. Have a look at: http://p2pool.be:9171/static/ for example. I even set slightly lower difficulties as suggested there and then I get a significant larger amount of shares. This has to be done for every worker.

Last edit: March 23, 2014, 03:36:41 AM by Shameless Beggar #7937 Can someone please tell me, if there are any fixed diff non-p2 pools? It's getting pretty annoying when pool keeps unintelligently raising my difficulty so I have zero shares across several blocks.



edit: well, I guess I'm gonna try the p2pool suggested by the previous poster. I was under impression that to join p2pool requires some crazy setup. Apparently not.
