I like the principle behind the coin, but I think this still isn't rewarding for solo miners.
On the other hand you have to take into account that if it would reward only solo miners, other would lose interest. It should always be something in between, and this coin still is quite good solo mineable, although my "hits" become more and more sporadic.
It's always a game of fortune. Problem is that it's very difficult to calculate your chances - it's mostly better understandable by common examples and that's generally diffucult concerning cryptos.
If you bring enough cpu cores you can increase your chances. Some do and pay money for it. That shows that those people see a future for this coin. Other with fewer cpu cores available always have the same chance. But they can combine their chances by mining in a pool. This is the logical next step (for every coin).
Thus we need to get those pools ready very soon.
As I am running a small farm and already paying for this coin, I'd like to support BorisTheSpider's more forward regarding a pool-capable miner and increase the bounty towards the dev bounty ;-) by another whole block worth 50 VTC. Now we have:
Bounty (towards dev bounty) for releasing a pool-capable cpuminer. cgminer also very appreciated.

@Fernandez:
Obviously the Vertcoin wallet needs to access something externally in order to get sync'ed. If that's the only warning, then you can be quite sure it's not dangerous.
