Isn't it time for everyone to let go now? In fact the time was a long, long time ago. The dev was clearly too autistic to make a go of it. Move on.
Node is dead! Long live Node!!!!!

CoinsInTheCan claimed that new developers were working on NODE, and to expect news soonish, maybe in May/June. It's getting close to August now, and the silence from the new developers is deafening. If there's no news by September I doubt there's any chance of new developers reviving NODE. Until then there might be a very slim chance, although I'm sceptical.
I received pm from TheRealSilk. There is new developers in work and they will open new [ANN]-thread soonish. I hope it's May/June.

I give the code to other programmers, they will open a new topic
He answered me in Russian, in fact he says "I
will give the code to other guys". So maybe not very soon.
I guess there was a little difference in two languages. Also in january there was "a new young guy" that already learnd 70% of the code... where did he vanished ?
... Go figure... But anyway, i can not believe that two years of work will be abandoned just like that. If Silk does not find other dev's, there is propably someone willing to buy the project with all the premine funds.

It's been another two months of silence from the devs, and it's nearly September now. I hope someone buys the project, but anyone skilled enough to take it on could start their own project for nothing. Why would they pay to take on someone else's project?
To avoid a lot of work that is done here already, some good stuff like:
- Original code, gives much more credibility than copy-paste coins
- "Neural network" enables instant transactions and fast confimations
- Lightweight blockchain with node.js, no empty blocks
- Original distribution done, many bagholders will wake up, when project comes back alive, saves a lot of hassle of building the community
Just a little bugfixing and a new team can just start straight from 1,5 - 2 year point on and make more development and still be a frontrunner of cryptocoins fairly easy.
Good change to make a breakthrough if you have some money and/or good ideas and maybe some connections to make those bank/business deals happen.
