work finished since a good week... (actually I helped vtc team in tuning their new algo, so the code even predate the algo Grin

)

Interesting. The vertcoin botnet has over 50% of the hashrate, will they be able to hardfork?
- Botnets have free electricity
- Botnet owners will dump the coins for bitcoins and crash the market price.

The same botnet also is on feathercoin and is on ipominer. I've pulled my miners off that pool due to that. Good to hear that vert is addressing the botnet.
If the bot owner dumps and the price falls, it will rebound.

The new optimized Axiom cpu miner is perfekt for the botnets. The devs battle to avoid gpu-mining might be the final nail in the coffin.
