Vertcoin (VTC) is an ASIC-resistant P2P Litecoin fork that uses PoW to reach consensus. Billed as the 'The People's Coin', the Vertcoin ascribes primacy to keeping its mining functions decentralized, and seeks to allow anyone with a personal computer to join the Vertcoin network.

Towards this end, Vertcoin has its very own 1-click miner, a program meant to make mining more accessible to the general public. In Jul 2014, Vertcoin released a wallet supporting Stealth Address transactions.
