This is what happened:
1) dev's released the new wraith protocol on 1st of jan , few hrs late from a self-imposed deadline, at the moment wraith is working for OS and Linux and they are fixing the last bugs on the Windows version, my guess in hrs-days it will be out.

2) There is a lot of FUD going around with verge (IMO its targeted FUD , not sure who/what is behind), few examples of FUD mentioned in this thread :
         - leaked IP's - RETRACTED - see here https://cryptocrimson.com/verge-xvg-leaking-ip-address/
         - Wraith not working : FUD , go and download it , check out github and you will see the devs are all over it for the last days and get            your info on verge from the official channel : https://twitter.com/vergecurrency?lang=en

Yes I do hold XVG and I will keep on holding because I do believe in this project and all the targeted FUD makes me think that verge will be huge soon. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, just sharing facts with you all.
