Binary (pre-compiled) wallets are available on all platforms at https://vergecurrency.com.
Note: Important! Only download pre-compiled wallets from the official Verge website or official Github repos.
Note: For a fresh wallet install you can reduce the blockchain syncing time by downloading a nightly snapshot and following the setup instructions.
-
Download the pre-compiled software.
-
Install
-
In windows file explorer, open
c:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\VERGE(be sure to change XXX to your windows user) -
Right click and create a new file
verge.txt -
Edit the file to have the following contents (be sure to change the password)
rpcuser=vergerpcusername rpcpassword=85CpSuCNvDcYsdQU8w621mkQqJAimSQwCSJL5dPT9wQX rpcport=20102 port=21102 daemon=1 algo=groestl -
Save and close the file
-
Rename the file to
verge.conf -
Start the VERGE-qt program.
-
Open up VERGE-qt console and run
getinfo(orgetmininginfo) to verify settings.
Note: You must re-start the wallet after making changes to
verge.conf.
- Download the pre-compiled software.
- Double click the DMG
- Drag the Verge-Qt to your Applications folder
- Double click the Verge-Qt application to open it.
- Go grab a ☕ while it syncs with the blockchain
Note: It may look like it is frozen or hung while it is indexing and syncing the blockchain. It's not. It's chugging away, but currently the UI doesn't give you a lot of feedback on status. We're working to fix that. Syncing takes a while to complete (ie. > 10 minutes or more) so just be patient.
Note: If you want to change your configuration the file is located at
~/Library/Application\ Support\VERGE\VERGE.conf. This isn't required by default.
-
Compile using Unix instructions.
-
The wallet GUI is in
./verge/src/qtand the daemon in./verge/src. -
Optional - the binaries to your favorite location. for use by all users, run the following commands:
sudo cp src/VERGEd /usr/bin/ sudo cp src/qt/VERGE-qt /usr/bin/
-
Run
./VERGEdfrom wherever you put it. The output from this command will tell you that you need to make aVERGE.conffile and will suggest some good starting values. -
Open up your new config file that was created in your home directory in your favorite text editor
nano ~/.VERGE/VERGE.conf -
Paste the output from the
VERGEdcommand into the VERGE.conf like this: (It is recommended to change the password to something unique.)rpcuser=vergerpcusername rpcpassword=85CpSuCNvDcYsdQU8w621mkQqJAimSQwCSJL5dPT9wQX rpcport=20102 port=21102 daemon=1 algo=groestl -
Save the file and exit your editor. If using
nanotypectrl + xon your keyboard and theyand hitting enter. This should have created aVERGE.conffile with what you just added. -
Start the Verge daemon again
./path/to/VERGEd
Note: To check the status of how much of the blockchain has been downloaded (aka synced) type
./path/to/VERGEd getinfo.
Note: If you see something like 'Killed (program cc1plus)' run
dmesgto see the error(s)/problems(s). This is most likely caused by running out of resources. You may need to add some RAM or add some swap space.

The Easy Method:
Note: Sometimes linux user permissions are not set up properly, and causes failed compiling in linux. Please ensure your user has access or do the install from root if these problems arise.
sudo rm -Rf ~/VERGE #(if you already have it)
sudo apt-get -y install git && cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE && cd VERGE && sh go.shThe slightly longer version:
-
Install the dependencies. Note: If you are on debian, you will also need to
apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install \ libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev build-essential \ libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev \ bsdmainutils git libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libqt5gui5 \ libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 libevent-dev qttools5-dev \ qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev \ libseccomp-dev libcap-dev -
Clone the git repository and compile the daemon and gui wallet:
git clone https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE && cd VERGE && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
Note: If you get a "memory exhausted" error, make a swap file. (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-16-04)
Note: This has only been confirmed to work on OS X Sierra (10.12) and OS X High Sierra (10.13) with XCode 9.2 and
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2).
-
Ensure you have mysql and boost installed.
brew install mysql boost
-
Ensure you have python 2.7 installed and in your path (OS X comes with this by default)
python --version
-
Export the required environment variables
export VERGE_PLATFORM='mac' export CXX=clang++ export CC=clang
-
Run your build commands
./building/common.sh ./building/mac/requirements.sh ./building/mac/build.sh
-
Grab a ☕ and wait it out
-
Create the
.dmgfile./building/mac/dist.sh
TODO. Take a look at building/windows.
Check out the contrib/readme for more information.
Instead of joining a mining pool you can use the wallet to mine all by yourself. You need to specify the algorithm (see below) and set the "gen" flag. For instance, in the configuration specify gen=1.
To use a specific mining algorithm use the algo switch in your configuration file (.conf file) or from the command line (like this --algo=x17). Here are the possible values:
algo=x17
algo=scrypt
algo=groestl
algo=lyra
algo=blake
