What is Verge ?
Verge is a secure and anonymous cryptocurrency, built with a focus on privacy.
...
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.

Verge (XVG) is minable on blake2s algo at unimining.net but it is possible to mine it on Scrypt, 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 ?
1. 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.

Download the suitable version:

you'll find versions for more operating systems on the official bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... sg13897218


2. You'll need a miner : for nVidia cards, you can download ccminer according to your Operating System:
CCminer 2.2.1 : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

Remark: some anti-virus and anti-malware may detect the miner as a virus. It is due to the fact that miners were integrated in malwares and virusses so some anti-virus detect the miner as a potentially dangerous component. We use these binaries since years: we've never encounter problems because we avoid to download any binaries and always use the offial binary release on bitcointalk or github.

AMD cards ?

3. Create a launch file (*.bat file on windows) and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine XVG on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
ccminer-x64 -a blake2s -o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:5766 -u D8Z2APfnC68K461amMR6v4faaiCxWiY1rE -p c=XVG --cpu-priority=3
Please note the following arguments to the miner ccminer (64 bits version for my OS):
-a blake2s : set the algorithm
-o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:5766 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (5766 for blake2s algo)
-u D8Z2APfnC68K461amMR6v4faaiCxWiY1rE : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
-p c=XVG,stats : optional (password) parameters. -p is used to give the password related to the username. 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).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share.
--cpu-priority=3 : parameter used to set the cpu priority.
3.2 Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.
