Yes, there is both a CPU and GPU: [[HowTo_run_PoW_Miner]]

VeriBlock uses vProgPow, which is essentially a GPU algo. See: [[HowTo_PoW_Mine_VeriBlock]]

However given the GPU is much much faster for PoW mining... CPU users encouraged to PoP mine instead of PoW mine.

Launch Questions

When did VeriBlock Launch?

See: MainNet_Launch_FAQ

Mining

Is miner CPU or GPU

VeriBlock uses vProgPow, which is essentially a GPU algo. See: HowTo_PoW_Mine_VeriBlock

What algorithm do you use?

VeriBlock uses vProgPow. See: ProgPow

Originally it used vBlake, which is a custom version of BLAKE2b.

How to get started

Where to get software

See: Getting_Started

Download the software on github: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases

General

How long does it take to get a block?

About 30 seconds. See: PoW_vs_PoP_Mining

Is VeriBlock a fork of some other similar-sounding coin (Veri___)

No. VeriBlock is a brand new coin. NodeCore is written in Kotlin/Java.

Can I upload my log file somewhere?

Yes, create a new issue on https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases/issues. There is a file-size limit enforced by github, but you should be able to attach log files.
