I agree, let's hope that, from now on, the conversations are more focused on mining (with GPU or Asics) and on real cryptocurrencies powcoins ( and not memes powcoins like Doge but powcoins like BTC / LTC / VTC / VIA etc etc...)...rather than on obscure miracle tokens created with a single click...
Yeah definitely. I mined VTC a couple years ago and was making about 50 cents or so a day but I just traded it to Litecoin as soon as I could since VTC didn't look too promising at the time.
A couple of points - you're assuming that there are no rewards or consequences, but both of those assumptions are wrong: 1. Nano has incentives for good behavior - the network itself is the incentive (0 fee, permission-less, money). Just like HTTP, SMTP, TCP/IP, and even Bitcoin full nodes, none of which pay people fees at the protocol-level. The largest entities are the least likely to attack, since they make or save money from using the network 2. Nano uses ORV, which is very different from PoS, with different game theory (more details [here](https://docs.nano.org/protocol-design/orv-consensus/#open-representative-voting-orv-vs-proof-of-stake-pos)). There is no leader selection, block producers, fee rewards, or block rewards. You get no special privileges for being a consensus participant (representative), so there's no reason to do so unless you want to use the network itself. This also means that decentralization is incentivized - there's no benefit to having massive representatives, only downsides (increased attack/censorship risk), and that's why Nano keeps getting more decentralized over time (opposite of Bitcoin) 3. There ARE consequences for bad behavior in Nano. For censorship, the bad attackers can easily end up forking themselves out and losing access to wallets, users, services, etc, when the quorum thresholds and/or voting weight gets adjusted (due to the block-lattice data structure combined with block cementing). For double spend attempts, the attackers would just get forked out, also losing the wallets, users, services, etc, and destroying the value of their double spent version 4. We have seen multiple examples of old/dead PoW coins getting double spent (ETC, BTG, VTC, etc), and almost 0 examples of PoS coins getting double spent, *[even when the coin is almost dead](https://twitter.com/patrickluberus/status/1703752678839308573)* (no users/volume), **because** the game theory works* - the largest entities have the biggest incentive not to attack the network (they'd destroy the value of their holdings), AND no attacker is going to buy up the supply to attempt an attack 5. Nano is one of the [most decentralized networks](https://nanocharts.info/p/01/vote-weight-distribution) already, and keeps getting more decentralized with time, especially compared to [Bitcoin](https://btc.com/stats/pool)
I remember people use to mine VTC now it’s nothing… tbh it’s for people have have time and money, I believe.
My bags Neo ATH 2018 $198. 2021 $120. Now at $7.20 ARK ATH 2018. $8.20 2021 $2.50 Now at $0.17 OMG ATH 2018 $25.50 2021 $9.50 Now at $0.48 NANO ATH 2018 $33.50 2021 $11.50 Now at $0.59 VTC ATH 2018 $10 2021 $1.18 Now at $0.04 These are a few of the top coin of the bull run of 2018. Also search TRON, XLM, BAT, BCH, and many others. Second bull runs are not nice to most cryptos. But I’ve learned bitcoin always gains a full head of steam, and doesn’t crash nearly as hard.
Those are two projects that could have scared most people away from crypto, so good on you for staying. My first was LTC and VTC which then led to a slew of Reddit favorite alts in 2017. I eventually wised up and started accumulating BTC and ETH over the 2018-2020 bear, but it was a long road for me.
I am a 2016 trader so I can definitely name a few. * Vertcoin - VTC * Bytecoin - BCN * Groestlcoin - GRS * Decred * Digibyte - DGB * TenX - PAY * OmiseGo - OMG * PivX * Komodo - KMD
I’m a maxi because I got burned in 2017 by all the hot alts. Im still holding Neo, ARK, XLM, VTC, BAT, and several others, waiting for them to go back to 2018 prices. I’ve realized, they won’t. My #1 rule Bitcoin is for HODLing, crypto including Ethereum is for trading. Im to lazy to keep my finger on the pulse of the crypto market, and the complicated tax system. And I throw ethereum under the bus because it’s always changing I have 5 Eth in MEW that I can’t figure out how to access because it’s changed so much. Bitcoin is simple and you just need a seed. No derivation path no coin migration. No worries. Bitcoin is king.
Nope POE, KMD, VTC, ETN, all never broke out from anywhere near the previous cycle all time highs. Its a shitcoin casino.
Pre moon discussion: Rate my portfolio: 25% DBC 25% WTC 20% GVT 20% VTC 10% XRB
I think it was fragmented in VTC, NAV, POT and many of the other POS coins that came out after.
Found out I didn't need one of those Bitcoin mining machines to mine crypto. Downloaded Vertcoin (VTC) miner just to see how the whole mining thing worked. Already had a 1080 so I mined ETH not long after that.
Well first off pat yourself on the back for buying Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those should be 90% of your portfolio. The rest are moon shots. Historically the coins of the last bull run won’t do much in the next bull run, they will be replaced with new shiny coins. I would wait and see what all the YouTubers are doing in late 2023. Buy those and then dump them when you see them go parabolic. Don’t Hodl cryptocurrency, it’s for trading only. HODL only BTC and ETH. Ask anyone who invested in the hottest coins of 2017 how their NEO, Nano, OMG, Ark, BAT, TRON, Walton Chain, waves, VTC, XLM, NXT, Ardr, etc did in 2021. The same thing will happen to all the coins you just listed in 2024.
They attracted me. Banano is what got me into crypto. Started f@h and then transitioned into actual mining with VTC, ERG, and ETH. They add a bit of fun, IF the community is good
VTC was kind of cool because it was aggressively against ASICS, so if an ASIC was developed for VTC they would switch hashing algorithms. I respect the concern, since certain vulnerabilities occur when a large percentage of miners are all controlled by one entity.
I think I've heard of some people mining VTC Vertcoin that way.
Typically yes. But which alts? not the alts from the last bull run. everything, everyone’s been HODLing form 2021 will just remain middle of the road. While new shiny alts will sky rocket. Just ask the people who held the HOT alts of 2017 how they did in 2021. (Neo, Nano, Tron, OMG, bat, Ark, XMR, VTC, etc) none made it near their ATH.
Vertcoin (VTC) because it's the "people's coin" ☮️❤️😎🚀
Probably VTC (Vertcoin) would be at the top of my list. But it is NOT a shitcoin! Ok, yes, maybe it should be technically defined as such. Ah, fond memories of little greenie.
I don't mine myself so not totally sure but I think I heard in the past that some people mined VTC Vertcoin with a laptop. They probably have their own Vertcoin sub if you want to ask someone more experienced.
XRP should have a breakout though once the SEC issue is over. Then it should stop crabbing in value. I swapped VTC for XRP and LTC when it was dropping off. Probably one of the better decisions I made in cryptospace so far.
Trading and price following is essentially gambling. Addiction to money is a real thing and it's as addictive as some drugs. You'll feel a lot better if you set long term expectations and you focus on investing and not trading. Another aspect of that is actually knowing what you're investing in so that you're tracking the progress of a project rather than price. Eventually there are some pretty obvious indicators of good vs bad projects. You will definitely miss out on pumps of projects, but long term you will avoid major crashes. If you followed the hype cycles of 2017 you'd have a lot of poor performers in your wallet, ie. Verge, NEM, VTC, IOTA, etc...
RIP VTC and peercoin :(
This place seems like I made time travel. If I have to choose one, VTC for me :)
Nice. I did pretty well trading VTC back in it's early days. Same with xlm. ☮️❤️😎🚀
Vertcoin. VTC was supposed to be the "green" option back when people were starting to take that seriously WRT coins energy usage, and then the 2014-2017 digital winter set in and it pretty much died.
VTC - vertcoin The people's coin
VTC. One could have argued for LTC a while back. It has shown some resilience lately.
Thanks for mentioning VTC. My small stack is lonely.
Well, presumably if BTC is exempt, the same would apply to related coins such as BCH, LTC, VTC, XMR, etc.
If you want to try mining, check out Vertcoin. You can download the ‘One Click Miner’ which basically does everything for you and mines VTC. https://vertcoin.org
VTC has been dead for a long time. It's only really used by a small minority of cryptocurrency miners who use GPUs and don't want to mine (or can't mine) ETC, RVN or ERG.
I used to mine VTC sold in 2017 when it hit like $8 never bought back in but once I figured out LTC/VTC were never really catching on I just went into BTC + other L1s realistically neither of them really have a spot anymore with so many btc improvements. Don’t get me wrong LTC is a great coin it’s just not going to outperform BTC 99% of the time.
r/vertcoin is based on the same as LTC. Back in the days it was BTC, LTC and VTC
I see VTC in you flair, what is that?
Their customer details got leaked from their site, one of the coins (Vertcoin) they implemented with the wrong derivation path so if you want to use the same seed phrase in a different wallet, you have to manually enter the incorrect derivation path to get it to work, they also had an issue where funds could get stuck due to incorrect fee estimation, and also didn't support withdrawals to bech32 addresses on VTC
Oh I remember when there was this community vote thing to get listed. You had to buy BNB to vote. Somehow, we got this community run coin, VTC, to get #1 in the votes. But that didn't sit too well with them, because I suppose some other project had already been agreed on. Other project just got thousands of votes overnight and Binance was like "well looks like we have a winner". Nearly every company in this space are scumbags
A lot of people thought The Merge would pump Vertcoin because miners would flock to Vertcoin next In reality nothing interesting happened. The market cap of VTC is so low that it is almost being surpassed by cryptocurrency moons lol
I mined VTC all last year. I really like the coin and it’s blockchain but it will likely never see the light again.
Vertcoin. Decided to mine mid 2017 and VTC was the coin I started with. After a few months I went from a couple hundred dollars to like $7k during the bull run nearly reaching top 10. That bear market of 2018 was brutal and VTC dropped to obscurity. Made a little on it but waited way to late.

VTC. Vertcoin. Jesus. Wtf happened to this coin.
Party in 2017 where cryptocurrency was discussed with colleagues piqued my interest. Found LTC and VTC because I thought I missed the boat on BTC. Oops
When I first bought cryptocurrency I had a 60% (bitcoin) 40% (Eth, Neo, bat, Ark, XMR, xml, Ada, VTC etc.) spread during the bull run of 2017-18, It got closer to 50/50 and I never bought or sold anything since. I still have the sold or bought anything else. And it’s now 86% bitcoin 14% alts, (all because of Eth). I realized that Alts are for trading and Bitcoin is for HODLing. If I’d have just HODLd bitcoin only I’d be a lot richer. But that’s not what made me a bitcoin Maxi. I’m a Bitcoin maxi because the storage, maintenance, and security was such a huge chore to keep a dozen different coins secure. It totally isn’t worth it to HODL diverse bags.
VertCoin (VTC). It is ASIC resistant! Buy buy buy! So damn hyped in 2017...
Pandacoin-- **"It's official Wolong has killed off VTC and DOGE. RIP :("** Maybe not the *worst* here, but certainly it sticks out in my memory.

what do you mean by real crypto? powcoin like BTC / LTC / VTC etc etc..? in that case you're right...
VTC? has been on the top of whattomine.com for days and maybe Vertcoin is just the right answer...
I wonder if any miners switched to mining VTC. I doubt it tbh.
Hi it is VTC, the peoples coin Vertcoin. A complete decentralize & POW and computer minable coin. This coin is completely ASIC resistant. So anybody can mine it with a computer. GPU is better. Since its price is low, anybody can buy it. There are total 16 exchange where you can buy trade VTC. This coin is hardfork from BTC itself, and its Verthash make it ASIC resistance. is has fixed coin supply that is 84 million or 4-times of BTC. Maybe one day it will compete with LTC.
Cries in Vertcoin(VTC)
VTC vertcoin! The green coin ✅✅✅
This kind of crap happens over and over. Ask any one from 2016-2017 what coin would come out on top next to bitcoin and Eth. You would have heard nano, omg, Neo, bat, Tron, Ada, XMR, Ark, VTC, XLM, iota, waves, glm, glm xvg. Not one person in a million would have said Doge with a straight face, yet doge was the Cinderella. A joke, a nothing. A lot of these other projects still have great concepts and active developers working around the clock. Cryptocurrency is an orgy of dumb money.
VTC is a solid OG project. I got a little spooked when I found out it got attacked all those years ago. But it's pretty cool you can mine it with your GPU
I heard everyone will be mining VTC after the murge
sssshhh...keep accumulating VTC and let this sub shill other crap...
Can we expect cheaper mining rigs due to this? Because of people stopping and less new people starting? Might be interesting for ETC, RVN, VTC right?
>More like edit two lines in the config and change your pools/algo to ETC/CFX/ERG/VTC/RVN. Maybe Maybe for 3% of them. The vast majority will need to sell, or mine at a loss.
"Offload their equipment" More like edit two lines in the config and change your pools/algo to ETC/CFX/ERG/VTC/RVN. Maybe a small amount will capitulate due to energy costs, but I doubt it will significantly affect anything. People with ETHash ASICs are screwed but they knew this was coming for ages, and if they haven't already reached ROI then they were either greedy or stupid, and bought them at a bad time. There is no one to offload this equipment to either, other than absolute fools or a salvage yard.
Vertcoin (VTC) is another contender since it’s ASIC resistant.
So essentially you never actually have BTC and can't even send it outside of Venmo. Sounds like VTC to me.
Kudos to anybody that could actually pull that off or even have the funds to try, but I'm willing to bet you £1 they would fail and lose millions/billions.. take a look at the history of 51% attacks on other coins and see how many were successful and how many failed na lost their money. There is too much hashrate and too many people who would notice too fast for them to pull it off. Even 51% attacks on smaller coins I know about, BTC being a good example, they failed to make any money, they just used nicehash top rent a ton of hashrate and attempted it, but the hashrate on that chain was so low, at the time/s anybody with a bit of clout behind them could fund this, and in reality, they didn't even expect to win out of this situation, the goal was simply to make the chain/coin lose trust.. which worked.. if you look at VTC today, some exchanges (not all) have a crazy amount of confirmations needed to withdraw your coins/trades.. we are talking 600 confs type of thing... so... the algo was changed, nice emails were sent to nicehash and other hash renters asking them not to list it again, and nicehash agreed and still doesn't list it to this day, though mining rig rentals does, but I don't think there is enough rigs on there to get anywhere close to 51%.. seriously nowhere near, and not even that, they are charging so much you won't even make any profit if you use these rented rigs properly. I have no agenda here to defend BTC or it's network power, that coin is dead to me.. I accepted it as payment, exclusively as the only crypto I accepted on multiple webstores from 2011-2017.. gave it another half a decade chance to redeem itself by adding an LN option.. I'm not at the point I don;t add it to new projects and am slowly working on removing BTC/BTCLN from my existing stores, as hardly anybody uses it now days, we are talking less than 5% of all crypto payments. I'm a BCH guy now, but also respect XMR.. I personally hate the LTC project but it is spent a LOT, BCH and LTC make up around 80% of all my crypto sales. But trust me, nobody can pull of a profitable 51% attack on BTC.. as much as it would amuse me. It just isn't financially viable, suicide for anybody that even tries.
Think VTC is a beter option for a long run, just because is asic resistant
Exactly! Thank you for this addition. The whole point is to learn. Also there are plenty of cheap options to learn. Banano : run Folding@Home and earn Banano, learn how to swap to Nano then to a stable. VTC: Run the OneClickMiner and earn block rewards. Then I Use Bitrix for VTC. From there you can purchase BTC/ ETH/ADA/ALGO/DOGE whatever you want. Move it to a Ledger that cost all of $50 for a simple Hardware wallet that works well. Learn on smaller cheaper Blockchains. No shame in that
> Can you put each and every type of coin you may have on it? No. Hardware wallets only support a limited number of cryptocurrencies. For example, the Ledger Nano S allows you to have up to 3 apps, which allows you to send transactions from up to three separate cryptocurrencies without uninstalling and reinstalling the app. However, if you want to use more, you just have to uninstall the app (it won't erase your data). You can't use **every** cryptocurrency that exists (as you can't using a software wallet), but Ledger supports a [decent number](https://www.ledger.com/supported-crypto-assets). > Unlimited amount of any coin? That's where things get complicated. While I'm not going to explain this concept in detail here (unless you'd like an explanation), BTC, LTC, ADA, VTC and a few other cryptocurrencies use [UTXO](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-is-unspent-transaction-output-utxo/). So, in basic terms, if you receive 0.01 BTC from 100 people, and then send 1 BTC to someone, each of those 0.01 BTC transactions are included as 'inputs'. Including them as inputs requires processing power. If the hardware wallet is unable to handle the demand of adding these transactions as inputs, you won't be able to transact and you'll have no choice but to use a different wallet to make your transaction (you'll be able to import your seed phrase). > How much does it cost? They vary. They're typically between £50 and £200. > Have a good link to buy one on? Buy it directly from the manufacturer. Do not buy one on eBay. * [Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/) - they sell the Nano S, Nano S Plus and Nano X * [Trezor](https://trezor.io/) - they sell the Model One and Model T * [Bitbox](https://shiftcrypto.ch/) There are other hardware wallets, although the most popular ones are from Ledger and Trezor. I use the Ledger Nano X and I've been satisfied with its functionality (it can be [linked easily to Metamask](https://www.ledger.com/academy/security/the-safest-way-to-use-metamask) and has good integrations, such as dApps) and build quality.
Vertcoin (VTC) - created in 2014 as a fork of Litecoin with a commitment to asic resistance. Maintained by a team of volunteers, Vertcoin has forked its mining algo several times to prevent asics (most recently Feb 2021 with Verthash). It also updated to Segwit and Taproot before btc/ltc. Interested to hear your thoughts and opinions. Cheers!

VTC halving was squashed by the bear market so when the bull run eventually starts, it will need to become profitable for mining again.
Not sure on VTC to be honest. I love it and have a small stack from mining but it doesn't seem to get mentioned often.
LTC will come back strong in a future bull market. Same with VTC.
I was buying VTC in 2017 so been in the game a while. I am not talking about how much it’s dropped I am talking about how it drops 1K and just sits there for a few days. Then drops another 1k in an hour and repeats. Its been like this for months.
if he really wants to enter this world I would tell him to help the devs of the real cryptocurrencies (BTC, XMR, LTC, VTC, VIA etc etc ...) in his spare time...
My beting coins BTC, ETC, VTC..
Ok, Ok, I was taking a stab at some satire. I was actually pretty fortunate that I bought a bunch of GPU's with my earnings only days before the crash and they would have cost me at least double now. I am however revamping my 1.3GHz setup and would love input on what mineable coins would be best to direct some or all at. I have no intention of taking them off ETH until 2.0 however II would like to prepare for what is next. I was of course serious about FLUX for mining and I keep a solo machine on VTC just in case. ERGO looks promising and profitable.
Maybe. I've actually been considering removing BTC and BTC LN options from my existing stores, and no longer add it to new projects, because since 2017 barely anybody spends it with me, in 2022 it's only around 5% of my total crypto income, even with an LN option. In the main bitcoin sub the majority of people are not interested in spending it any longer, but <2017 it was actually the only coin I had listed as a crypto option. but as long as all these coins have at least some value, even if it is below £0.01, it is still useful to me and any other merchants. Coins I'm currently accepting are BTC, BTCLN, BCH, LTC, DASH, XMR, DOGE, ETH and VTC. ETH is also useless now as p2p cash but around 2018 a lot of people were spending it with me.
It's the same with POW coins as well, people assume that anybody who has a node has a vote, but that really isn't the case in reality, the people who get to vote properly are large solo miners and mining pools, the votes only count when blocks are being found, and sure you can choose to to run a new version of a normal node, but you will just get left behind. I didn't realise this fully until last year when I setup a mining pool myself and was forced to understand the full ins and outs of it all. It's also often the case mining pool operators will blindly just update the to latest version of the node when devs ask, I've done it myself when asked to update a node to signal for taproot on a BTC software fork (VTC), I had no real vested interest in the coin other than taking mining profits from it so just did as the devs requested. but he people who had the final say on the signalling/voting were basically 2 or 3 large pools.
I’m glad to see that VTC was brought up here.
I bought VTC in the 2017 bull run sold half in the $5-7 range and was like “ehh I’ll keep the other half because BTC/VTC/LTC gonna be crushing in 5 years. Well guess who still has half of their VTC😂 luckily other stuff that I have kept has performed exceptionally well, but VTC just doesn’t make the cut with the new tech that’s out. Their one click miner is still cool and easy to use.
Filecoin had an amazing run in april 2021, x10 what it reached in 2018. It's nothing like these other coins like VTC
Yah VTC mining is what got me into crypto :P
the simplicity of Vertcoin mining make it still an attractive coin (literally you download One Click Miner from the vertcoin.org website, put the exception in the antivirus as for other mining programs, start OCM, 2 clicks in the graphical interface and you start mining)...for vertcoin and other gpu powcoins you have to wait for Ethereum to switch to PoS...Eth currently has about 90% or more of the hashrate of mining with gpu...after eth is in PoS then you will start to see something about the other gpu powcoins (VTC / ETC / RVN / ERGO and others will make the fireworks)...do you think eth miners will sell everything and "ok, that was good, goodbye!" ? many will surely sell but most will switch...vertcoin just isn't profitable now and it's not present in the main exchanges (Coinbase / Binance / Kranken for example) however, it's in the top tier of the whattomine website...as long as the community exists here on reddit and mainly on discord and there will be exchanges and active developers to support it, vertcoin will have a future, otherwise it will fall into oblivion...for now it's holding up well...
VTC went to sleep after 2018 spike and yes, the 51% attacks did have an impact as well. The only thing still keeping it alive is their nice community and to be fair, there is not too much they can offer today, as you have already mentioned. Sad. It was the most profitable spike in my crypto timeline.
That hit me in the feels. I got SOOOOO lucky with VTC. Didn't have much, but I cashed out at over $8.50 per coin, needed it all to pay rent, and even more remarkably, got my funds out of Quadriga successfully.
I was one, and I mined it all of 2021. However, due to any significant lack in growth (monetarily and technically) I ended up stopping the mining of it this year. I ended up exchanging all of the VTC I got for ALGO, which made for a nice chunk. ​ Don't get me wrong, it's a great project, but very little interaction and very little marketing or public knowledge of it.
PTSD from cryptsy.. he stole all my precious VTC.
