Agreed, you don't hear many people talking about Verge. Probably due to the fact that the developers or developer as you say remain "incognito" I would say. Not really active on facebook either. I know several traders that have begun looking into it when it had a huge spike during spring. I must admit that if nothing was being developed for this coin I would turn a blind eye on it, but it's not. The technology behind it looks very interesting and I think it's only a matter of time before more people start looking into it.
