The staking is fine there really is nothing for me to chime in on. Sorry if you think it's dead but I will continue developing the projects.
If you have a large block of coins and your wallet is open it will split itself into smaller piles, That's what my lump of coins has done and on average stakes between 0.1 and 2 GP. 500% in a year. Just put your coins in your wallet and let them stake.
