Subject: Vertcoin moving to Lyra2

Mentioned this at the conference and was asked the post a link to the list.

For those unfamiliar, Vertcoin is the "GPU Friendly" coin, currently using
Scrypt with N=11 which was set to bump up every couple years, referred to
as Scrypt-N in the cryptocoin world.  Due to the threat of Scrypt-N ASICs,
they have decided to move to Lyra2 sometime around December.
