HMC seems absent, but I have a feeling he will return... And good news in being added on the exchange! 
What he can do, anyway? He is a programmer, not a marketer. Everything works as he intended. Bots secure the chain on daily basis and supply new blocks regularly while people still can mine by hand.
Also, on a side note about some coin with a sad history: MOTO is true pool-less coin on the moment, lol.
