With the increased value of the BTC all altcoins increase in value. We paid $0.01 and neucoin is currently worth just over that
NeuCoin NeuCoin   NEU   $ 1,570,338   $ 0.010091   155,611,515 *   $ 738   0.22 %   -13.63 %   23.82 %

So then the price is doing just fine. The Devs are still with this coin. They're jointly using the @acorn avatar for the sake of simplicity and in part I imagine to avoid such rude harassment from the trolls. They get pretty bad, especially on this forum.
