I don't know why dev didn't hold much coins. He was very generous in the begining with bounties and stuff. As far as if Markus is alive and around, yes. He is NOT fyrstikken. I have chatted with Fyrstikken and him on twitter and email once in the last month. So unless someone hijacked his twitter and email account and sounds exactly like him, he is back. But I agree he should post more, tweet, etc. But I don't think he knows which route he wants to take yet and he has a full time job and new baby, the 5th, so he is kinda busy. I also don't have much coins, just enough to test the trader for him. If anyone could donate to me that would be appreciated, and as always I try to keep everyone in the know as soon as he tells me anything I post here and @CRYPT0N1TE on twitter (which used to be my kids twitter and now I am fully in charge of it, many crypto followers from traders to exchanges and pools).

Thanks again for the reply, I understand the pressures of raising a young family or a large family. Most likely this started out as a hobby and just grew out of control. I've been there myself and it's a now stop battle to keep going. He gave the program out for free and if he's not using the app himself and has no coins of his own then most likely is not getting any income from it. Still he wants to cling to his dream that maybe some day he'll get a reward for his labor he put in during the early days. I watched his yourtube video and he seems like a good guy and he should be getting something out of it.
Now here is the naked truth. In my city there are thousands of homeless people. Most of them just hang out and do not much of anything at all. Others stand in traffic on busy streets holding signs and those are making 50 to 100 dollars a day. The lesson here is even the smallest effort pays far more than no effort at all.
Anybody who uses the app is obviously trading coins and has money, most are going to want to donate or pay for the use of the Quatloo Trader. But he has to make some effort on his own. Just hold up a sign. He's committing suicide by his silence. In this community the people want to give him money because it's in their own interest to do so.
Make the f_ing two minute Youtube video and have him ask for donations to continue to develop the app. It's not hard and can be done with a cell phone. Thats an easy start with minimal effort. Thanks
