[Scrypt ASIC] How to mine Verge ?
What is Verge?
Verge (XVG) is minable on scrypt and blake2s algo at unimining.net but it is possible to mine it on x17, groestl, blake2s, and lyra2rev2. If you want that Unimining Team set it up for other algos, please ask.
How to mine Verge on a mining pool ?
WARNING: If you have graphic cards, please mine Verge on blake2s algo because only ASIC are efficient for scrypt algo. This how-to is for Scrypt ASIC.
1. Create a wallet address
You'll need a wallet address to receive the Verge coins mined. It is better to either create a web wallet or download the wallet according to your Operating System. There is a last crappy quick & dirty method that we don't recommend: create a wallet address on an exchange but some exchange diagree and may lost some coins.

[nVidia] 2. ASIC choice for Verge (Scrypt) mining
Here are a few example of ASIC for Scrypt mining:
- Asic Scrypt Miner Wolf V2 2GH/s based on ACSMA technology
- Antminer L3 250MH/s
- Antminer L3+ 504MH/s
- ...
WARNING: If you have graphic cards, please mine Verge on blake2s algo because only ASIC are efficient for scrypt algo. This how-to is for Scrypt ASIC.
[nVidia] 3. Configure the ASIC
The ASIC should be plugged into an electric power and also on the network using an Ethernet cable. Please be careful with your installation and respect all electric laws of your region/country as ASIC will create heat, noise and air flow, they should be considered as industrial equipment.
You should access the miner configuration of your ASIC and configure it according to the following. Please refer to the user manual of your ASIC to reach the miner configuration page.
Stratum URL and port: stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:3433
Username: D8Z2APfnC68K461amMR6v4faaiCxWiY1rE
Password: c=XVG
To set up a different starting difficulty, please use the additional password parameter, e.g:
Password: c=XVG,d=128000
Please note the following arguments:
stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:3433 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (3433 for scrypt algo)
D8Z2APfnC68K461amMR6v4faaiCxWiY1rE : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
c=XVG,d=128000 : optional (password) parameters. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=XVG is used to force YiiMP to mine Verge (XVG is the symbol defined on the pool for Verge) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=XVG). d parameter allows to set up the initial difficulty and stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To use several password arguments, your should seperate them with commas, e.g. c=XVG,stats,d=128000
Launch the miner and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.

...
Verge is a decentralized currency designed for users who value privacy. It improves upon the original Bitcoin blockchain by using multiple anonymity-centric networks such as Tor and I2P. It utilizes multi-algorithm mining support to improve security and provide equal distribution of coins to miners.

Hi,
Could you setup X17 algro please on XVG?
Fancy trying that with my GPU rather the blake2s. Assuming the hash will drop but the coin return might be better.

Re: [Scrypt ASIC] How to mine Verge ?
Hi,
We received several demands to set up Verge on x17 but we also notice that few pools exists to mine Verge on lyra2v2. Our infrastructure will be upgraded to keep good performances but we plan to set up Verge on x17 and lyra2v2.
If you have coins that you'd like to mine on UniMining, please feel free to propose.
Have a nice mining!
