Ahh a new coin type ay?

mine vertcoin with --algo=scrypt:2048  and use a vertcoin pool.

there's no keccak involved here.

try -i 0

ok
fine

tks

@cbuchner1: Do you solomine with the default 8 active connections in the wallet, or have you increased it?

I am mining vertcoin in this pool http://115.28.31.155/using gtx760 and get 145-150 max khs/s

how to increase? ;-)

Any benefits to it?

I already use rpcallowip and the port is open to my internal network.

PSA: Avoid at all cost to have that port open to the Internet. You can initiate funds transfers etc if you know the RPC password.

In most wallets you can increase it with command line options or with the wallet .conf file.

With more connections you can reach the whole network with less hops. And it might help finding less orphans. Not sure.
Also, with more connections you can download the blockchain faster (if you're not CPU and/or IO bottlenecked, which is generally the case).

The reason I asked because I solomined YAC for days and found nothing, not even an orphan block and I just recently increased the active connection limit and was not sure that it would have any connection between solomining. I guess it doesn't.

As far as I saw Vertcoin is hardcoded for 8 connections, it reaches it in a couple of minutes and then (looking at the debug.log) it stops any network discovery until a connection is lost. Not sure if that is a good idea especially that the default timeout is 5000 ms for connections, so the wallet could theoritically pickup pretty shitty, high latency connections and keep them. You can decrease the default timeout delay, though.
