VTC is fine, it just increased in value something like 2000% in a few days, so many people sell off to take profits.  Any coin no matter what it is would drop after doing that.  It will take a week or so for it to stabilize at a new value without crazy volatility, then people will be more anxious to work with it.

Sorry to hijack the thread but as you've gotten your answer, I might aswell.

I think the more viable question is How does Ultracoin (scrypt-jane adaptive n) compare to VertCoin (scrypt adaptive n)?

Ultracoin has decent technical aspects, but is probably the most hated coin I've ever seen on the forums, far surpassing Quark and NXT, maybe even surpassing Coinye.  They not only had a premine, but an IPO on top of the premine.  The entire thing was an obvious money grab.  Then there was an extremely botched launch where dozens of people accused them of messing it up on purpose in order to premine more.  The devs seem to have all made $50,000 - $100,000 from the coin.  The entire thing really is unbelievable someone had the balls to launch such a scam.

isn't VTC using scrypt-jane also? Or perhaps that was QQC?

VTC uses normal scrypt (Salsa 20/8) with adaptive N-factor wrapped into PBKDF2 with SHA-2

All the scrypt-jane coins use the scrypt algorithm with the Chacha mixing function, wrapped into PBKDF2 with SHA-3 (Keccak512)
