Vertcoin Mining: Let’s make things simple- One-Click Miner Open Beta

Vertcoin Blocked Unblock Follow Following Aug 14, 2017

9 times out of 10 when people want to get into mining a cryptocurrency they get scared off due to the perceived inherent complexity. Whether it’s reading a guide, watching a video, asking questions in a rude community, or understanding the terminology, it makes people uncomfortable. We don’t want things to be like that for Vertcoin, so we asked ourselves how we could make things easier, and making a one-click miner was the answer. The instructions are simple to start.

On the right side of the interface under mining you can choose from AMD, Nvidia, or CPU. Click on whichever you would like to use.

Next enter the pool address you would like to mine on (Insert list of pools). Something like “stratum+tcp://vtc2.alwayshashing.com:9181” (without the quotes).

Then enter a wallet address under Worker/Wallet Address.

Now go back up and click on your choice of AMD, Nvidia, or CPU, you should have started mining.

You should start receiving payouts to your wallet as soon as your pool finds a block .If you are feeling brave you can even run your own p2pool node straight from the one-click miner (You’ll need to run the wallet for that).. Another interesting aspect of the OCM is that the miners can have updates pushed without updating the OCM itself, so if we find a more efficient miner, we can push the change in minutes.

All in all, the community response has been great. So far we have over 400 people participating in the beta. Anyone can join the One-Click Open Beta by joining our slack channel. Also feel free to stop by our sub-reddit and share your thought. We hope to see you there!
