@ 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.
