Thanks foxill1 for making our logo look betterDue to
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=359323.0 topic, Vertcoin team decide to create a new coin base on Litecoin code, but change N factor rely on timestamp like Yacoin. Nfactor will begin at 10, that means it will requires
N=2048 instead of 1024, and uses 256 kB of memory instead of 128 kB like Litecoin. those number will go up almost every year. Algorithm for proof of work is the same as Litecoin, using SHA-256 and Salsa20 as hashing and mixing functions.
N schedule has following picture.
Technical Details:Algorithm: Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor
(Not scrypt-jane)Symbol : v
Max Coins: 84 million vertcoins.
Block time: 2.5 minutes
Subsidy halves every 840,000 blocks (~4 years)
Difficulty Re-Target Time: 3.5 days
Block Rewards: 50 coins per block
PremineWe had done pre-mining for
2 3 blocks (for testing wallet in windows). that's all. you can track the blocks via Abe explorer that will we provide in 11 Jan 2014 8.00 AM GMT.

FAQWhy we chosen N=2048 ?Answer : We got the final decision from the vote -->
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406031.0 Is this cpu-only mining ?Answer : We will start N = 2048. N = 2048 cannot prevent some GPU cards to mining, but we agree that it will take time to come up with miner software. After the software comes out, we just hope the N will go up enough to prevent GPUs again.
how can i see what kh/s i have ?Answer : " wallet > console > type "getmininginfo" > hashespersec/1024 will be kh/s
