Because this project has been abandoned (attempts to contact thread OP failed), we have decided to step in and maintain the project ourselves (members of community).

The official website is now expired, so we have set up a replacement http://getbitcoal.org

Also, we have worked on porting over the bytecoin gui wallet to use the forknote codebase with an embedded config and now have a working standalone BitCoal GUI Wallet for everyone:
https://github.com/bitcoal/bitcoalwallet

Available for Windows and Linux (tested).  Easily mine bitcoal directly in the gui, explore blockchain, send receive, tx history etc.

Still compatible with forknote, we have updated seed nodes on the official forknote configs repository https://github.com/forknote/configs/blob/master/bitcoal.conf

We will see about making another thread or if a mod can update information in this ANN.
