The Dev is either an idiot to abandon a coin at this stage, or... he is too busy on 8BIT.
Not sure what he will done when done with 8BIT - return here, or start another hiPos coin...

Takeover could be a good idea for someone who is actually able to code this stuff... A lot of similar work is already done on 8BIT and can be copied/used here.
Why do you think it's the same dev? Even though they both used red color font, actual font is different.
