As a supporter of SSD from the day it launched i have watched it go from a great coin to a dead coin. sad really as i had alot of hope for ssd, but keeping all the announcements on a private forums like slack is bad in general and due to life commitments only being able to work half an hour on the coin is just not good enough for the coin to survive. it sad but oh well.

I see a theme reading through these quotes: holders want more involvement from the developer and the developer should bring more people into the fold. But here is a story. Arg was elected to serve on the Blocknet board, as an unpaid volunteer board member. To replace himself as a coin representative, he tried to recruit a person to spend about 1 hour per week to passively attend a skype meeting. For minimal participation, this individual would not be required to say anything but simply answer for roll call and maybe say goodbyes at the end. Arg couldn't find anyone to do it. No one.

It takes a community to build a coin where there is absolutely no financial gain for the developer. However, when it comes to brass tacks, it's very hard to find that community. Most users will "support" the coin with cheer leading when the price is high and chide the developer when the price is low. But to get any effort is impossible. You have a forum here. It's not moderated. You have a developer with a year-old coin who is in slack at this moment and who is also reviewing a pull request at this moment, but you have nothing but complaints.

Instead, ask yourself: what can you do to help? Here is what I did tonight for this coin: https://github.com/SonicScrew/SonicScrewdriver/pull/1/files
