    What are you using to mine?

    I've only done NiceHash so far with hash selling space.

    I would like to do some actual mining though.

    Whatever minergate.com uses. It's pool mining so I'm not exactly sure how it works.

    Just from a quick browse it seems like NiceHash.

    Odin are you setting your rig up specifically for VTC? Might be interested in doing something similar

    I’m getting 90MH/s with the VTC miner. Going to let this go for a few weeks to see how the payout structure is

    seems legit. i found this quote hilarious. market dominance in the full aspect lol

    “I see us taking over as being the No. 1 company that people will use to use their crypto assets,” Mr. Sharma said, using an industry term for virtual currencies. “Once our proof of concept goes from beta to live, I think that we are going to take market dominance in the full aspect.”

    Has Bitcoin been going slowly for anyone? Sent .5 BTC to a sportsbook yesterday and the transaction has 0 confirmations still. They swear it was a good send address too. How long does it take to reject if it's wrong?

    Can I use Electrum for all of my wallet needs (like using BTC, LTC, VTC, OMG, etc), one for each receiving address? Or should I setup a different wallet for each currency?

    Just processed. Thoughts in vtc now or wait for it to dip one day before buying? I tried to get in the other day when it was low.

    I think it will be a $30 coin at some point soon. You could wait for a dip but I'm not sure it matters much.

    I wouldnt put all my money in vtc (i mean, i have all my money in vtc but im also an idiot). Should probably pick 2 or 3.

    not sure i would actually own tether. kind of pointless unless you believe in the usd. very useful tool if you want to sell without converting to btc tho.

    I think that was a small leftover bit from me selling LTC to Tether to buy BTC, which then I used to buy VTC. Is this the right method?

    Right. I'm thinking they gave me a bad address. Does it get returned at that point or is it lost forever?

    Right now I'm getting a deposit of .035 VTC every 20 minutes to my Vertcoin Core Wallet. My rough and probably wrong math makes me think that's roughly 2 LTC per day? If so, that's pretty solid imo.

    without us discussing it whatsoever my roommate apparently started mining vtc yesterday. really weird conversation we had about it this morning.

    math does indeed look like about 2.5 vtc per 24 hours. not bad at all.

    I'm liking that vertcoin trend.

    Also, I thought litecoin would be a $100 coin by now.

    Has anyone used blockchain.info? I have a really weird transaction showing up in my ETH wallet history.

    It says on Oct. 26th 520 ETH was received to my account. The funds don't show up in my account (yet) and I definitely didn't initiate the transaction. Not sure what to think of this, but it would be kinda nice if there was a $150k error in my favor
