There's @vtorrentcrypto on Twitter which is supposedly the dev, and he's sorta kinda active on there. Some people here claim to have emailed with him. I've emailed him a couple times and never received a response. There was some uncertainty almost a year ago now at the end of 2017 with hacked/lost accounts, and the dev not having access to certain stuff, etc. Honestly I've never been sure it's the same dev from years past, but whoever controls the accounts now does have access to the original github and has put out wallet updates on there. As far as vaporware it very well could be, lots of big claims but the only real releases, and even the "video proof of torrent functionality" are all just GUI work, and may not actually be any torrent backend at all, just faking it for the camera. No one knows.

With Tron's involvement with BitTorrent and projects like Upfiring, it remains to be seen if this has a place in the market at all with the speed of its releases, even if it is real. This is a super super risky, hail mary longshot sort of coin to hold. I honestly think it's been a complete misdirection/fake development cycle for well over a year now, but this is one of my favorite "moonshots" to follow cause the potential is huge if it actually happens.

Great answer, thank you very much for your perspective!

I agree, the delay with any confirmation that torrent implementation is actually 'real' while other parties like Tron and Joystream are making observable progress is really disappointing, but if this dev were to release something in the next few weeks/months it could become one of the all time records for ROI for those who stick around. I'm still staking a good number of coins when I sync my wallet, maybe one day we'll relive the feeling of early Bitcoin miners who mined coins on cpu' s for nothing that later mooned! It's not very likely, but possible I'm sitting on a future bag of gold!
