I do not think the project is dead. Only the developer can tell us that for sure. Last I heard they were still working on it. I spoke privately with them and asked that they seek out the help of other Cryptonote developer communities as it seems like this is their first blockchain project and they need a lot more experience on their team.

The developer doesn't seem to understand that people here want updates at LEAST daily even if there has been no progress, just letting everyone know that would be preferable to silence.


The most likely scenario without that will be the 1 week block height rolback they described. As bad as that sounds at least it would be a working blockchain, but for how long? Without further expertise, I don't think they could answer that as I asked that and received no answer.
