Yes, updates are the main priority right now.
Recently I was under the impression that merge mining made it look like the coin had already failed, what do you think?
These are supposed to be p2pool nodes:

http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8932/static/ - P2Pool Node
Tell me if they work and if not I will remove them from the OP and Reddit sidebar immediately.
The foundation is looking for a volunteer mining expert...
Merge mining doesnt necessarily kill a coin, I believe NMC and DVC can be merge mined with Bitcoin and they are still around and kicking. Making TRC merge mineable could help attract miners/pools. I'm gonna have to fire up some miners now before something like that happens lol difficulty will go through the roof.
I also like the idea of incorporating POS that would bring back all those large wallet holders into the community more nodes, faster transaction processing time, not depending on POW.
