Probably be the first and last time I post here, but hasn't really been mentioned much after reading all 40 something pages.

You realize the ONLY reason you guys are talking about Verge is because some kid named Peter from Austin, TX (allegedly) who goes by the name of @XVGWhaleReal, actually posted screenshots (this was Christmas Eve, Dec. 2017) of his text conversation with McAfee, discussing his paying $100k for McAfee to tweet about Verge.

Then when the MC of Verge blew up bigger than they could have imagined, McAfee got enraged and demanded more money, or else he was going to destroy them.  (it wasn't those actual words, but it was still some grandiose shit indicative of megalomania - and funny to boot!)

Peter claimed his account was hacked, and then started this one: https://twitter.com/XVGWhaleReal/

BIGGEST DEAL IN CRYPTO MOTHERFUCKERS!

Little chronological  summary.

-Undelivered half of June 2017 roadmap
-Wraith (stealth adressesing) hype for half year as game changing tech, even with fake countdown website
-Coinpouchapp 134millions xvg hack
-McAfee paid tweet pump
-official xvg Twitter account and main dev Twitter account hacked
- announcement of mysterious "deal of century" partnership, collected 75millions xvg, 60millions from Tokenpay ICO where main XVG dev is team member
-successful 51% attack on xvg blockchain, lost tens of millions xvg
-unintentionally hardforked

WHAT A TIMELINE.
Solid project.

Actually that wraith was announced first much earlier then half year ago.  That is what they live on. On hype. But is just strange why when no delivering. And he never actually deliver people dont see he is lying.  That is only thing I realy realy dont understand here.

I was in Verge team when Wraith protocol was "invented" by M.Stolaire at those times. The name was intentionally picked to be catchy and proclaimed to be some sort of new tech. Then it was hyped properly. Noobs don't bother what tech it does, McAfee tweets, noobs see price under $, see price of Bitcoin over 15k$ and buy and fomo others. Same now. Xvg net attacked, main dev writes in telegram and other channels its normal and that's it. Fanatic comunity  just say nothing happened. Now the hype with partnership is steaming and nobody cares about attack.
“ Speculation :that partnership gonna be very probably with German Bank and they will release xvg debit cards. Imagine Verge chain being attacked in future, how you will pay with such card. Useless. And I'm not even talking about that when I was in team dev said xvg will NEVER partnership with bank, ever. Because it is anonymous, decentralized currency.“
W/e. he lies so often, that it does not matter what he says. One of the reason I left team after June, July, August roadmap kept postponing and stayed undelivered without explanation to us as a team or to comunity.
