GPU Coin (GPUC) Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor cryptocoin

9, Mar 2014

gpucoin-scrypt-n-crypto

GPU Coin (GPUC) is a new Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor cryptocoin that just recently launched. The idea of the authors of this crypto is that they will have an on-line store that specializes in keeping a large stock of GPUs that will only be available to be purchased with GPU Coin, something that might work well if you are in USA. This is probably where the name of the coin also came from. Note that currently the block reward is set to 1 and the full rewards start at block 2600! You need to use VertMiner for mining GPU Coin and not the standard cgminer, because of the algorithm used by the coin.

Download vertminer 0.5.3 VertCoin GPU Miner for Windows

16, Feb 2014

vertminer-0-5-3-windows

Vertcoin (VTC) mining with GPU requires a special miner called vertminer that is essentially a modified version of cgminer 3.7.2. The latest version of verminer 0.5.3 is designed to be used for mining VTC on AMD-based graphic processors. Note that the hashrate you will get by mining VertCoin with this modified mining client will be lower than what you get wen mining traditional scrypt based crypto coins. VertCoin (VTC) uses Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor algorithm and not just the standard scrypt algorithm that makes it ASIC proof and harder to mine, but also making it another very interesting alternative to most other alt crypto currencies that are essentially cloning BTC or LTC by using either SHA-256 or Scrypt algorithm. What is important to know is that you will not be able to mine VertCoin (VTC) with the standard cgminer, you need to use this modified version. Below you can find a download link to the latest vertminer 0.5.3 for windows.

Vertcoin (VTC) Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor cryptocoin

5, Feb 2014

vertcoin-alternative-crypto

Vertcoin (VTC) strengthens the distributed nature of crypto currencies with its innovative approach. It’s ASIC resistant, Multipool resistant and Rare. Vertcoins algorithm has been designed to resist the development of custom mining hardware, and multipool mining ensuring that transactions are validated by a widely distributed network and avoiding the selling pressure when large mining pools indiscriminately flood the market with freshly mined coins. Vertcoin does not use SHA-256 or the typical Scrypt algorithms, making it another very interesting alternative to BTC and LTC. Vertcoin (VTC) is already generating a lot of hype, so the exchange rate will probably explode since the addition of this crypto currency at Cryptsy.
