I am assuming direct control. I am the new developer (named ___ on discord). It's obvious that the original dev at best misled everyone and got hit by a bus. I'm leaving this message here as the thunderstorms in my area have temporarily knocked out my full internet access otherwise I would be present on discord. But regardless, there is more info about this coin here: https://github.com/EmberCoin/Ember

This is the official repository. I am working on getting a GUI rebuild out the door, after which you will enjoy a developer who gives a shit about the community they're supposed to be building. The door is open to the original developer, who we have attempted to get into contact multiple times and have either been ghosted or thrown false trails, to contact us and at the very least amicably hand over the control of this coin. Deus vult fiat justitia ruat cælum.
