Vertcoin really wants to stand out in the crowd. One click mining, Stealth transactions build back in. For VTC those things will really give it a boost. Combined with their 25 VTC block reward for the next couple of years really makes it interesting to keep an eye on.

Right now I think it maybe a bit too chaotic on the Cryptos market, but that will settle down in a while I think. And the ones that are the backbone of Cryptos will rise to the occassion.

And there I was thinking last Crypto year already was very exciting... :-)

Yeah It was super nice at 50 VTC, but glad it has been around long enough to halve! haha

And it is ASIC resistant, which is a nice differentiator! The dev team is super active also!!!

What are your thoughts on Viacoin?!

It still will be a very good Crypto to mine. Basicly also because of keeping ASICs out.

ViaCoin I have not digged into yet. So many Cryptos... Maybe one of these days I will check that one out.

Yeah being asic resistant is good! I have yet to mine any crypto yet and I am wondering if it is too late!!

There are several mining options. This site can help make a choice:

There is some easy mining software also, with that you can mine several Cryptos: https://minergate.com/

For getting some real earnings from mining some investments are needed in most cases.

Vertcoin has GPU mining software, but mostly pool mining will make sense I guess.

But to get the feeling Minergate might be a nice starter.

Good luck.mining!
