Hi silencesilence,

Lyra2 will come out soon, and Zerovert will change the algorithm to follow Vert as well. As you know that, Vertcoin team has made decisions that they don't want to implement Zerocoin at that time[1] because Vert doesn't want to be completely anonymous coin, but still maintain some privacy levels for users by become first coin that implemented Stealth Address. Zerovert will become a sidechain coin of Vert that focus on truly anonymity, which is our main goal.
