This is NOT a dead coin until the Royalties development team says so. Anyone who would come on this board and say otherwise is just spreading FUD about this coin. It truly is not fair to those who invested.
Why hasn't Eric or someone else from the Royalties Development team come on here and given an update? No clue. Perhaps they are in talks with a corporation that has made them sign an agreement which requires their silence. Perhaps they are under a court order which requires their silence. I don't have the answer to "why" they haven't updated the coin holders.
I can say this:
1. The wallet software is still functioning as it should. I have personally used it today.
2. The network is still hashing transactions without issues. Today was about two minutes for my transfer. Check here to confirm:

SO PLEASE - don't FUD Royalties Coin unless you know for 100% FACT that it is dead. It's not fair to those who invested in this project.
Until then - we wait to hear from the development team.
