Check out [this](https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=17436.0) thread, I think you'll get a good start from there

# How to mine solo Vertcoin?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-05-26)

Now, I assume that probably all cryptocurrencies that have any value at all are impossible to mine alone for any realistic mining cluster setup, for a normal individual.

However, I have been curious about this for a while: How do you mine solo? If I want to run `sgminer` on lets say `Vertcoin`, using only my own miner, how would you do it?

I'm not looking for just some answer that describes the concept, but what commands would you actually issue to get this working with `sgminer` (omitting the performance specific arguments of course)?

Download the official wallet : <https://vertcoin.org/wp/get-started/>  
Then, install it and wait for full sync (aka vertcoin blockchain download)  
  
During the sync, look how to build a simple appropriate `vertcoin.conf` file   
which had to be store in the appropriate vertcoin folder (`%appdata%/vertcoin` in windows)  
It basically look like this :

```
rpcuser=WORKER<br>
rpcpassword=SUPERPASSWD<br>
rpcport= X // CheckDefault rpcport vertcoin<br>
daemon=1<br>
server=1<br>
listen=1<br>

```

Then restart your wallet (node)  
Download the appropriate miner according to your hardware configuration <https://vertcoin.org/wp/mining/>

Create a batch file

```
sgminer -o 127.0.0.1:rpcport -u WORKER -p SUPERPASSWD -I 13

```

Make sure to be fully synchronized with the vertcoin network before start it.
