So who's the new dev? Has he been selected yet?
He is been selected and the coin is almost finished, more news will come. He is someone that worked on several coins.
Is there a reason you're not letting on to who it is?
Do you think that i know his real name? He has been working on the THC coin, that is all what i know. In fact, honestly, who it is, is not important, get the coin fixed and working that is important.
why is it important to get this coin working again?

1. People spend a lot of BTC on it for mining
2. People were scammed for a lot of BTCs because of super block
Important :
1. There is a big community around this coin so it is not just a coin that you can say let it die.
2. People are willing to work for this coin (and try to get it back where it should be).
