After mining VTC for about a month, I'm asking myself the question, can smaller crytpos like VTC be profitable to mine on a small scale, my results say that it can't.

I'll explain a bit and hopefully somebody here can give me some answers. So, I can happily mine away for a day or 2, at a small-medium size hashrate, at a relatively stable market price. However, market price increases, other larger miners now take advantage of it. The little miners gets screwed by the larger hashrates. The price retracts, the big miners leave, the network take a day to recover.

A day later I'm back mining again. Then, the price increases, larger miners jump on board.rinse and repeat. The result, smaller miners are never mining at a stable rate for long enough to make clear gains. Just my observations. I see it as a problem if the community wants to grow as a peoples mine-able coin. I guess if you're not using your GTX to play games but then why would you own it in the first place?

At the current hashrate he'd still be barely turning a profit of like $10 a month even without equipment costs. I'm definitely not trying to discourage people mining, but just show that if you really believe in VTC then right now you're better off just buying small amounts instead of mining on a mediocre gaming rig. Say you mine for 3 months and have a whole 90 vtc if you're lucky now, you could have just spent $100 or so now and not wasted the electricity and usability of your pc.

Dec 13, 2017 Well I might as well make a thread about it since Nicehash went down. Vertcoin calls it the OneClickMiner (OCM) and it is a pretty easy to use GUI.

I'm definitely pro mining, it just doesn't make sense for small timers to mine VTC now. If you really believe it's going to the moon then just buying some now and holding seems to me to be a wiser investment then the time of mining on a slow rig. • • • • • • •.
