How to mine Vertcoin - Nvidia

in #mining7 years ago (edited)

I've just started to mine vertcoin and I thought that I would create a tutorial on how to setup an account and mine vertcoin in verters pool.

Ok, first we need to download the vertcoin electrum wallet from here. https://electrum.vertcoin.org/
Copy the word seed and then create a password to protect your wallet. Once you have opened your wallet you will need to click on the receive tab and copy the receive address to clipboard

Then we are going to setup an account at verters pool. https://pool.verters.com/index.php?page=register
Fill in all of the fields - REMEMBER YOUR PIN!
Now log in to your verters pool account. Go to "Edit Account", This screen will show your account details and there is a field for "Payment Address". The wallet address should be pasted here. Set your payment threshold (I set mine at 2) and enter your pin. Once you have filled the relevant fields press the "Update Account" button.

Now download and setup the mining software, I used ccminer (the sp-hash version). It can be downloaded here. https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/releases

Once you have extracted the folder you will need to create a batch file within the ccminer folder, mine looks like this.

ccminer -a lyra2v2 -i 20 -o stratum+tcp://pool.verters.com:4444 -u zeus37.worker1 -p x

The section that has "-u zeus37.worker1" should contain your details. zeus37 is my verters pool account name and worker1 is the name of my worker. The "-p x" is the worker password (I just put an "x" for simplicity).
There are many other options available for ccminer, they are included in the README.

Finally you will want to add your worker to verters pool. Go to "My Workers" on the verters pool side bar, on this screen you must add your worker name eg. worker1 and your password eg. x.
Now double click the batch file that you created and you will be mining vertcoin.
