The dev is very much alive and well. He is very active in a slack group i am in. There are alot of big bag holders of this coin in that slack group. When he is questioned on the matter he says he has something sorted out and is hoping to get a friend to merge or take over the coin, not sure which now. I am surprised he has not been put under more pressure from the slack members, as most in there bought into this coin. Maybe one day he will actually get his thumb out of his arse and get this coin sorted out, but don't hold your breath. Your best optin is that a pump group on yobit pick up this coin and pump the hell out of it. If that does happen the future bagholders are gunna be even more unhappy than the current bagholders.
