Also another question:  Vericoin is showing out of sync blocks in the explorer: i.e. block height is out of sync with block time in the Raw TX record.  Can anyone advise.  Here is an out of sync block example:  https://chainz.cryptoid.info/vrc/block.dws?1609671.htm

thanks.

If you're talking about how the reported block time is after than the time reported in the subsequent block, it's within the limits of the block allowance. The reported block time is allowed to be within a few minutes of the consensus time due to latency.

As you can see, the block time is reported as 16 seconds after the block time of the next accepted block. It's partially an artifact of shorter block times (1 min for VRC vs 10 min for BTC, for example). Since your PC clock could be off by a minute or two, as long as it's within the accepted window and properly meets the other criteria and is broadcast to a majority of nodes, it will be accepted.
