This project is not dead and never will be with the dev we have working on DNR. The price is going down like most of the Altcoins out there because everyone wants BTC for the upcoming fork. I think now is a great opportunity to pick up some cheap DNR as once the fork is over, a lot of the funds will start to flow back into Alts. I'm holding DNR no matter what as I believe this coin has a very bright long term future.
