The technical mechanisms behind vertcoin are constantly in development, Bushido mentioned he has more plans from a technical perspective to implement in the future. Just because there are other coins with similar anti asic resistance in it doesn't mean there is a team behind it with huge improvement plans for it like vertcoin has.
Is this generally true, when comparing VTC to other Scrypt-N coins as well? Is vertcoin superior to Scrypt-N coins in general?
