Any news?
I think there is no news. Coin dead ? The developer is not making any comments.
Not dead, everyone is talking at the discord server.
Also 5.55GH/s is far away from dead, and you forgot that core team is japanese and bitcointalk is not as popular there.
Not every coin needs to be rushed carelessly, testing needs to be done before ever releasing a single update.
Why do you think that this coin is dead?
