@ Henle do you happen to know who the current developer is? I would like to get in touch with him by email.
My wallet did sync btw, I hadn't opened it in some time but added the updated nodes and left it running overnight.
In May/June 2014, mcpackin published a pair of updates with help from bee7, veremit and sirnubbles. Mcpackin hasn't posted at all since June. Bee7 hasn't posted here since June, but has posted about Graincoin in February (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=636580.msg10338499#msg10338499). infinitevs appears to be on the team too. He posted in January 2015 that there would be a new revision in the next month or two.
9 months is a really long time to not post about your own coin. It would be nice to hear from mcpackin or bee7, or at least an update from infinitevs, but I wouldn't give up hope yet. Infinitevs said they were busy with work commitments, and they're really not that late yet, but a little communication would be great and there is work that needs to be done to keep the coin alive.
I think Cryptsy is the only exchange that has StarCoin listed, and I don't think their wallet is working right. I think they may be using an old wallet that had problems. And while our dev is working with Cryptsy, changing StarCoin from STR to STAR would probably be a good idea to prevent confusion with Stellar, which is STR on Poloniex and Bittrex. And we need a block explorer. And the checkpoint warning has persisted for like a year. It should get fixed.
I think the only think I might be able to help with on that list is maybe possibly setting up a block explorer, but I don't have a server to host it on, and @infinitevs said they were working on that anyway.
