Update

Verge has once again been exploited yesterday with a 51 percent attack where one single miner bought lots of hashpower to gain control of Verge blockchain. Block 2155850 to 2206272 were mined with super-low-diff for the hackers. About 35 million Verge coins ($1.7M) were created in few hours rather than a few weeks – all alone by single person/group.

To elliminate this issue once and for all, we are releasing a small patch to prevent this from happening again. In the meantime we're working on a whole new codebase, more about this soon. Binaries for the patch can be found below and will soon be added to the OP. We urge everyone to update ASAP.
