FYI: To those claiming we made a poor decision to roll back-

Navajocoin rolled back their blockchain BECAUSE someone 51% attacked. Both Bittrex and Bter were attacked, it looks like. Now they will likely be delisted from several exchanges and the coin is inches away from death.

We specifically rolled back to prevent the possibility for a 51% attack by an illicit group. This action likely saved VeriCoin from what would have been imminent death.

Please take some time to read about Navajocoin's predicament. They did it without telling anyone about it. We were as open as we could possibly be. VeriCoin has not been 51% attacked, Navajo was.
