We could use a status update. It would be nice to hear how things are going. Nothing too elaborate

Bristow, you seem like a good guy, and I know you got some great family news recently, but I have to chime in on something. It seems like you are placing a lot of hope on the success of Vert. But objectively speaking, that hope is slightly irrational. The chances of Vert to reach a marketcap of even what was 2 months ago are extremely slim. Even with the upcoming changes. You seem to have more enthusiasm for the project than the developers (a few of which have moved on to other coins as lead devs, a few that have not interacted in months, and 1 which became disenchanted altogether). Trying to rally the troops at this stage is sadly fruitless.
I know you put a lot of money into this, but perhaps its time to move on. The overall Crypto marketplace has dramatically changed since January, and its increasingly looking like Vert has been left behind. Any progress that is being made on it is insignificant anyways, and wont lead to a major spike in price.
Sorry man, I just thought I would try to give some objective analysis for you so you are not sitting around waiting for months and months. I have been there, but sometimes better things await.
You are a kind person helping another good fellow that is full of hope in Vertcoin. There may be others who are just as hopeful in Vertcoin but remain silent. I appreciate your offer for an objective analysis. You mentioned "a few of which have moved on to other coins as lead devs, a few that have not interacted in months, and 1 which became disenchanted altogether". Can you elaborate on it? Do you have the names?
