I read all these threads about coins becoming officially dead. However, most of these threads are FUD. When does a coin become official dead? Is it when the developer stops developing? Is it when the coin stops trading on major exchanges?
Not exactly, because even if there are no exchanges trading it, users can use escrow services to trade it, or some exchange could decide to add the currency later. I think the event that could cause the death of a cryptocurrency would be if users stopped mining it.
It will work for coins that are proof of works but I doubt on coins that are pure or full pos,the dev just get an accoun ton poswallet to stake for his coin and his own machine to keep the blockchain alive,well this is my opinion only.
