Sure did, looks like the creator literally took the first page of Vertcoin, as well as the developers exact wording.
I also took a loot at the github, where I found the exact same files as you find in Vertcoin's github.
Further on that, you can mine this coin with Vertminer.
Even further on that, note that there is no ubuntu wallet that was available to copy and paste. Vertcoin does not have one yet either. But I'm sure that's just coincidence and this coin definitely won't have one within a few hours after Vertcoin does.
Seriously, everyone should come over to this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vertcoin-first-scrypt-n-first-stealth-address-privacy-without-mixer-404364
My other favorite part is at this link: http://vertcoin.org/Vertcoin-DavidMuller.pdf
this?
ALTCOIN also add random block reward mechanism.
ALTCOIN also add Auto Connect
Not much but interesting enough and a Vertcoin+ (all improvements are welcome for me)
