Move from Coinotron. They have over 51% of the net hashrate.

For the past couple days Coinotron has had over 51% of the Vertcoin network hashrate. We have found out that this is due to nicehash renters using Coinotron as their go to pool to mine to. So, if you are mining from nicehash or just mining on Coinotron please consider using a different pool until they are under 51% of the network hashrate. We would suggest setting up your own p2pool(super easy), but we have listed alternatives below.
Alternative pools:

p2pools network 1 pools (100mh/s and up):
