Vertcoin — Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Digital Currency
Vertcoin runs as close as possible to Cryptocurrency fundamentals, the whole “be your own bank” movement that started cryptocurrency to begin with. Vertcoin is chasing something entirely different from the ICO/Premine groups. We just want to change the financial system for the better.

Vertcoin is awesome! Created in 2014, it is a direct hedge against long term mining consensus centralization on the Bitcoin mining network. Vertcoin achieves its mining consensus solely through Graphics Cards as they are the most abundant / widely available consensus devices that produce a reasonable amount of hashrate. This is done using a mining algorithm that deliberately geared against devices like ASICs, FPGAs and CPUs (due to botnets) making them extremely inefficient. Consensus distribution over time is the most important aspect of a blockchain and should not be taken lightly. It is critical that you understand what blockchain specifications mean/do to fully understand Vertcoin!

This crypto has a lot of potential IMO.
Pros:Great development team and community
Cons:It's not as popular as the bigger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin... yet
