The byteball project seem to be dying at this point, the price literally crashed in the last a few months and never recovered. Developers should make new updates to the software and re-launch the signature campaign might help a little bit too otherwise It's just a matter of time until its dead.
If you paid any attention you'd know that development never stopped. However that doesn't always reflect the market. The distribution method was a mistake IMHO but that doesn't mean this project is dying just because the price sucks.
