The days of needing specialized computing hardware and sophisticated know-how to mine digital currency are over. Anyone can easily mine Verium. Just download the Verium Vault software to any computer, click mine and starting earning Verium, the digital gold that backs the digital currency VeriCoin. Verium is one of the few digital currencies that can not be mined by specialized GPUs and ASICs.By making it easy for anyone and everyone to mine Verium the project has created a more decentralized system.
Power Based Rewards
As mining power increases the reward slowly decreases, this mechanism makes the reserve commodity supply curve drop based on increased demand and can drive a value increase over time and increased usage.

The overall network can be viewed in the Live Global Mining Statistics.

Mining Software Guides
Source Code
The first mining software especially designed for Verium was provided by Douglas Pike aka effectstocause, one of the creators of this project.
Based on effectstocauses original miner fireworm has created an update which includes several optimizations especially for Linux (memory) and ARMv8 CPUs.
cpuminer, cpuminer-opt can be used as well.

Solo vs. Pool Mining
Solo
Rumours advice to have at least 15000 H/min for solo mining.
Pools
This mining pools are available. Follow up their "Getting started" pages:
How to set up a Verium Mining Pool.
Reminder: when solomining there is zero downtime, zero pool fees, zero withdrawal fees, zero trust, zero dependency, plus all transaction fees per block!
Fee efficient payout is 20 VRM (which will cost 0.2 fee).
Pool FAQs
- Can you use an exchange's wallet (like Bittrex.com) as your Payment Address? Or does the payment address absolutely need to be that of your personal Verium Vault wallet?
never set your payment addy to any of exchanges site , only your wallet its more safety then fail to sent, payment will not fail, im just stating for your safety and the safety of your coins If the exchange has to 're-issue' wallet addresses, and issues you a new one, chances are they wont work with you because you set up 'auto-payment' to the exchange. For security, its best to just send to wallet, if your lazy..you can take the risk. But I'de always under every circumstance dbl check the addresses match 'Pool to Exchange' if your doing it that way. The one time you dont check.. will be that time you get screwed. Murphy's law.

Hardware Buying Guide
If you are planning on purchasing hardware for VRM mining there are 4 main routes you can take. The fasted ROI can be had from used server hardware; the best long term profitability comes from used laptops and SBC’s.
- Used Server Hardware
- Used Laptops
- Single Board Computers (SBC)
- Desktops
The below table outlines the basic pros and cons of each build type:
Power Usage | Upfront Cost | Maintenance Burden | Hashrate | |
Used Server | High-Low | Low-High | Low | High |
Used Laptop | Low | Low | Medium | Low/Medium |
SBC | Low | High | High | Low |
Desktop | Medium | Medium | Low | Medium |

Maintenance & Monitoring
A web-based miner monitor was initially contributed
- here by birty and there is an
- extended version here done by DerrickE as well as
- another one here by wienerdog.
- Updated frontend version forked from DerrickE's by ChiefThunderCunt here
You can also check your miners if you run your wallet on linux by executing:
Netstat | grep :33987
in a terminal. If they are connecting means they are working.
