....I want to believe there is an explanation, but it looks fishy.
My thoughts, fwiw - school holidays have just happened. Also, bills need to be paid. So there is likely to be some overlap between family life, doing other things to pay bills and being busy updating cache / producing a white paper.
Vertoe was silent during the first few weeks of announcing to take on cache, then there was a big release.
S/he didn't notice the fork, but a fix was pushed to the git and somehow merged with Vertoe's repo. So, S/he is still around and so I'd expect some update, when its ready. That's the 1m cache question. 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or
1 year 2 months. I'd guess, a few weeks to a month or so.
If you want to contribute, read the OP. Looks like github is the place you should be placing ideas, requests, etc. If you have some cach and you're on the right fork, I'd guess Vertoe would say you are the community, go get a git account if you haven't already got one.
Just my take, again, fwiw.
It is amazing the things you say when you are invested in something, how you start coming up with silly justifications for things that in real life no one would tolerate. Vertoe's behavior here is completely unacceptable, he is a guy and lives in Germany, there is internet everywhere there, there are no excuses.
He had no need to come out and relaunch this coin and get a lot of people involved based on the reputation he had accumulated. Then dissapear and leave everyone hanging and a forked coin. What are Vertoe's merits afterall, all he did for DRK was upstream changes, he was a good maintainer but with no original work of his own at the protocol level.
People like you are a disgrace hyping this coin, trying to "win time" minimizing the clusterfuck this has been. A few pages back you were all hyping and saying how this was the best thing since Jesus, and now, you are giving open time frames and justifying all this bullshit. Reality is, you weren't expecting this so stop justifying.
Truth is, Vertoe is just not that good, he is an average developer who had a few lucky trades LTC and DRK, made a little money. So what, that does not mean he can lead a project. He has proven to be very unprofessional, quick to criticize others but then completely unable to deliver himself.
