Long story short:

• The coin was on one exchange, and when that sole exchange closes the only market, a coin is literally dead.
• The hangman was a merciless executioner.
• bittrex has earned money via trading fees, while SOIL was going up to 128,000 USD coinmarketcap;
  to understand that better, I manually summed up approximately the "more than 1000 USD volume per day" sums,
  and my estimate is a total trading volume of 100,000 USD since SOIL entered bittrex,
  so bittrex has earned 0.25% * 2 (buy and sell) * 100k USD = approx 500 USD. Correct me if I am wrong.
  Related to the work time they had to invest, that is not even much money, so I understand them too.
• I have not only invested a lot of time into this, but also lost a lot of money - like many of us I suppose. What a pity.
  
• A sad day for ecology because an ecology oriented coin got killed.
  But ... ETH and SOIL are PoW coins, and trying to marry PoW and ecology ... may become a stupid relationship anyways, I guess.
  So perhaps it is even a good day for ecology?
• To continue with soil, means getting it onto another exchange. There are dozens of them.
  If you believe in it, please start contacting them now. Good luck.

For situation summary, see previous ~20 posts: I have a working smart contract and an oracle running, and very good manuals. And 2 testnet servers which I'll switch off soon, unless I am paid not to.

If you want to continue, get a group together, then contact me please. I might become active again, when there is another exchange (promising to be) trading SOIL.
