While there was a conversation earlier about possibly working together, no actual results were produced. Vertcoin supporters did start a website to fund raise, but we (Worldcoin) have not received any of these funds and we did not use these in our own fundraising. We actually have no idea what these Vertcoin supporters did with their raised funds. Perhaps this is something people in their community should be talking about.
To reiterate: The Worldcoin Well was funded by the Worldcoin Community only, Vertcoins were not added to our total. This is not to say that we don't want to collaborate with other Altcoins in the future, but these rumors are not true.
The contributions that made up the gap can be found in this thread:

Please see for yourself and feel free to correct anyone who is spreading misinformation.
1. Worldcoin Community fully funded the well on its own.
2. Vertcoin fundraiser raised money also but we have no idea what they did with it.
3. Vertcoin fundraiser was significantly less than Worldcoin's.
4. There is a constant barrage of rumors that Vertcoin funded our gap.
5. Combining points 2,3 raises the question as to why 4 keeps existing.
I personally donated twice to fill in the funding gap so know full well Vertcoin funds were not used.
If Vertcoin is still in possesion of funds raised and they wish to discuss matters, they can always contact me by PM here or on wordcoinforum.org
The funds do not have to go to waste. They could be donated to a another charity or donated to The Well Projects general fund.
