Couple of things:

- Who is in charge of Supercoin now?

No-one. Community members volunteer time and resources if something is required; there is no owner or manager of the coin.

- Will Supercoin be actively developed?

This seems to be a common question but I've yet to understand why. The coin is complete. If the community sees a need for specific development work to be done then a developer could simply be contracted to implement whatever the community decides on.

- Why does supercoin has .nl with the website. That seems very odd. I am dutch myself but that doesnt seem professional. Also sorry to say the website looks unprofessional and cheap.

I imagine it's a bit like when you can't get a good looking girlfriend. You either settle for an ugly one or you buy one from a foreign country. The original one was 'the-node.net' so I consider this one an improvement. The obvious contenders (like .com, .net) were gone. The .nl domain was generously provided by thirstygerry (who you'll see on here) so perhaps he's Dutch. The website is hosted by myself and was thrown together by one of my people. It didn't previously have an active site (the original one was defunct) so, again, I consider this an improvement. If anyone wants to provide a better looking website, they are more than welcome to - I only sorted this one out because I'm community minded and like to help.

Edit: the only way to see this coin could revive i think is with the old dev or people who have been with supercoin for a long time. At this point some people who just put up a new website without any plan / roadmap just seem way off.

A dev to do what and a plan to do what? The coin already works. As far as I can tell, it does exactly what it set out to do; it provides extremely fast, low cost transfers with an optional anonymous transaction method that still appears to be better than any other method I've seen - although I'm no expert. If people have ideas for improvements or new functionality then they can suggest them. If there's enough demand for them then the community can look at hiring a dev to implement specific proposals. Personally, I'd like to see the wallet improved as currently - although it works just fine - it's a bit of a memory hog. Other than that, what development would you like to see?
