Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look to see what we can do to reprovision our development miners back to the primary network.
I can report that formal development has begun on flipping to POS with a possible POW component.
We're currently targeting make the flip at 250M coins.
We will also make our explorer public.

Unfortunately I think the problem isn't just on my side...

Bittrex has also recorded no new block for > 5700 minutes.
https://bittrex.com/StatusMy client did sync after waiting for a day or two but the transactions I made on Feb 2 are still not getting any confirmation on Bittrex.
The domain of explorer.givecoin.info has also expired too.
Is the coin dead? The client never sync and transaction never get confirmation.

If anyone is having trouble with clients syncing, please join #catoshi-dev on irc.freenode.net. I have a new update/merge of the client that needs code review, but it downloads the blockchain and says (as of 20:01:45 UTC) it's on block 169947, with difficulty 15.801
So if you want to help testing, join the IRC.
I can also confirm that Bittrex is putting transactions on the network, what seems to be missing is enough hashpower to generate a block, or there's a switchpool abusing the KGW difficulty adjustment.
