MANDATORY UPDATE - HARD FORK AT BLOCK 347000 - UPDATE YOUR WALLETS NOW! What is Vertcoin?Vertcoin is different. Unlike many other coins you will see on this forum, Vertcoin has a purpose, a goal which drives the community and developers to constantly innovate. Committed to the decentralisation Satoshi originally dreamed of, Vert has consistently evolved over time to combat the threats to this dream. As a result, one of our main features is ASIC resistance, having forked successfully to a new proof of work algorithm called "Lyra2RE" upon discovering that Scrypt-N ASICs were being developed. We believe that by keeping the mining process in the hands of those with generalised, low-risk, consumer grade hardware, we can lower the entry requirement for miners, increasing the number of individuals mining the coin which in turn leads to true decentralisation. Our primary innovationsLyra2RE![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcryptoage.com%2Fimages%2Fmining%2Fvertcoin%2Flyra2re.JPG&t=665&c=SUbDzjoax_EDZw) White paper: https://vertcoin.org/downloads/Vertcoin_Lyra2RE_Paper_11292014.pdfOur revolutionary new proof of work algorithm, designed to be ASIC resistant at its core, made its debut at block 208301. In addition, responding to calls from our miners, Lyra2RE has a ~15% power usage reduction on X11. Lyra2RE has replaced Scrypt-N, our previous proof of work and a Vertcoin innovation in itself, in order to defeat the ASIC miners that were released for it. The fork has successfully been carried out, once again making Vertcoin a decentralised, ASIC-free zone and fulfilling Vertcoin's promise to hard-fork if an ASIC threat becomes apparent, a promise which Litecoin made, but didn't deliver on.
