The short answer: Not yet.  

The long answer: The VRM and VRC wallets will eventually be combined, they just aren't yet.  The binary chain is also still under development, so you won't be able to gain VRC from mining VRM at this time.  When binary chain is released, that will work, just not yet.  ETA, not sure, but there is a large push to get there.

I mean, you can send VRM to a VRC address, but you won't be able to see those coins, since the wallets aren't currently designed to handle the other coin.  If you send VRC to a VRM wallet, you would have to take that VRM wallet.dat and open it in a VRC wallet to see the coins.

As for the promises made, they were definitely lofty goals still being worked on.  VRC or VRM isn't dead by any means though, with a VRM (Verium) 1.3.1 wallet just being released (Sept 16th, 2020 - which is a HUGE release) and paves a lot of the way forward to the combined wallet and the binary chain.

I mean, check out these release notes for 1.3.0 and 1.3.1:

Here you can find the release for the new Verium 1.3.1 wallet:

Here you can find a docker image for the Verium 1.3.1 wallet:

Development is moving along quite well.  There are multiple active projects on the go to improve both the community experience, the infrastructure to support the project, and updating the codebase to achieve the lofty goals of the project.  Its the same project, but definitely with a renewed sense of passion and excitement.  A lot of the communication goes on the slack channel, but more effort is being made to disseminate this information to the various areas around the web, including this forum.  http://slack.vericoin.info if you want to join.
