PW, are you aware of the Vertcoin fork that the dev team created to roll back a massive theft transaction from MintPal? Does that mean that you have to update in order to keep Vertcoin working in the Scrypt N pool?
I believe that you are confusing Vertcoin with Vericoin. AFAIK Vericoin is the one that was forked.
Ah, crap! You're right.
That's what I get for posting before I've had any coffee!
Sorry for the false alarm...
