Vertcoin Mining setup

How Vertcoin Works. Vertcoin’s whole shtick is that it completely bars miners from using ASIC hardware to mine on its blockchain . This means that Vertcoin takes us back to the good ole days when all you needed was a decent graphics card or your computer’s processor to get into the mining game.

Verthash is a mining algorithm similar to Ethash . It only requires 2GB or more of VRAM, making it perfect for older graphics cards, such as the R9 200 series of GPUs or older NVIDIA GT cards, such as the GT 710 onwards.

If you’re using Windows 10, you may get a message saying “Windows protected your PC.” If this happens, just click “More info” at the bottom of the message and then “Run anyway.” Don’t worry–the program is more than safe . Another thing to note: most anti-virus software will treat 1-Click miner as a malicious program.
