10 years of Vertcoin: 300 000 downloads of the one-click miner :)
Sharing the qouted statement from the Vertcoin Discord: better a bit late then never 
Vertcoin is a battle-tested crypto-currency which allready for 6 months preforms better then Bitcoin. It also is a currency which, in the now, a lot of people don't even know about.
Should people know about it?
It's a coin which on the markets preforms OK, has been going up versus Bitcoin in the last 6 months. It has steady buyers and a for a low market-cap coin very active discord.
The most succesfull developed product is the one-clickminer, it allows everyone to mine vertcoin during playing a game on the PC or so. Without having to join a mining-pool.

The 10th Anniversary of Vertcoin
Today marks 10 years since the genesis block was mined, signifying the beginning of Vertcoin. Vertcoin has always been driven by volunteers who have dedicated their time and expertise to the project. Whenever funding has been required for different projects, whether it be for development or marketing efforts, it has been crowdfunded through the community. Vertcoin has always been community-driven.
Vertcoin was initially created when ASICs were developed for Litecoin. One of Vertcoin's main goals has always been to keep ASICs and other threats away from the network and to maintain its decentralization. As a result, Vertcoin has undergone four hard forks to other mining algorithms to remove ASICs and a botnet from the network.
Over the past 10 years:
2,114,780 blocks have been mined.
5,702,028 transactions have been sent.
68,434,435 VTC has been minted.
Two halvings of the block reward have occurred.
Functionality has been developed on top of the blockchain. Vertcoin is Lightning compatible, and atomic- and submarine swaps have been performed with other blockchains.
Apps have been developed to drive the adoption and introduction of cryptocurrencies. The most popular of these may be The Vertcoin One-Click Miner, with over 300 thousand downloads
