How to mine VCT(Verticoin)

[Silver_Pharaoh]

4Gb isn't really much to mine with

But then again, you only have the 1 GPU mining..

I mined scrypt VTC with 4Gb ram and 2 7850's. If I remember right it ran fairly smooth.

 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

That means the TC is too high I guess..

 

[sporktar]

I set it to --thread-concurrency 2048, and got the same error message.

What OS are you running?

If XP, it's a driver issue.

For a 280x the TC should be 21712 and -20 intensity (unless you get too many HW errors then go -19)

or I 13 g 2 8192

 

[87dtna]

Oh wow yes what was I thinking, I was giving the 280 specs not the 280x. I guess I wasn't awake yet this morning.

Thanks Ivan, and yes it's -I 13, -g 2, and 8192 TC

Hey, seems like you are doing ok with the gridseeds eh?

How close are you to roi anyway?

 

[87dtna]

Yeah it's nice having 11mh with only 200w power consumption.

Not real close, spent $1600 on them and have made ~$300 so far off them. But I've only had them for a couple weeks. Well I've had the one for 3 weeks and the other for about 1.5 weeks.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Not too bad, you can do some day trading on top

 

[87dtna]

Nah I don't have the capital, or else I would.....I'm just a poor guy, family of 4 on a single income with a house and car to pay off. I drive a beater 94' Accord so we don't have a second car payment, it gets ~32mpg anyway and has been reliable. I bought the gridseeds with most of my tax return

 

[ivanlabrie]

I invested what I mined for a while and I'm already up 0.15btc in a week.

Not half bad

 

[87dtna]

Meh like I said, I'm poor, so I exchange all my earned BTC for dollars and use it. Seems like everytime I say ''I'm going to let my BTC build up for awhile this time'', a week later or less I'm exchanging them cuz I need the money lol.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Yeah, I was in that boat, but found investing in trading was way more profitable...I can double or triple the mining profits that way, and even got some extra btc from a friend to trade it for him for a fee xD

 

[87dtna]

Well, from what I understand, coinbase is the best place to sell.

 

[ivanlabrie]

nah, who trades btc/usd these days?

I'm talking darkcoin/BTC here, or other alts.
Been making some good $ on that, then sell at localbitcoins.com

 

[87dtna]

How do you sell at localbitcoins? For paypal?

I would do direct deposit but none of the banks are the ones I use in my local area.

 

[ivanlabrie]

cash...I know a few guys who are my usual buyers though.
Some send bank deposits, but I try not to abuse that for tax concerns. (I'm in Argentina though)

 

[87dtna]

Meh, the closest person willing to do cash in my area is almost 2 hours drive away.
