While I haven't heard anything from HH, it looks like their payouts got stuck somewhere but it seems to be keeping track of them just fine (you can look through lists of payment addresses and values, as well as new blocks solved in the recent 30). I'm sticking with it personally as I'm still getting my usual VTC payouts so it's not a complete bust. Hopefully once they get the ball rolling, MON should be flooding in while the backed up payments surge through.

New coin launches are rarely perfect and this one is even more complex than most. Boris and the rest of the VTC/MON dev team, keep up the good work! You guys have always done right by the community in the past and I trust that you will in this as well.
