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.
I agree with everything else you said apart from this. If the dev team has abandoned , then there will be a high chance of no "say so" that it has done such thing.
% of coins in deposit is dropping, so these must be some high balance long term wallet holder that has had their deposit unlock
On November 11 there was 99.1113% of coins in circulation that were locked
Current is 98.6284 locked.
0.4829% drop
Current circulation is 18447941337 of coins in circulation
That means that 8,908,510 has unlocked and not been locked 9-mining reward
(im sure this morning when i checked it was still in the 99% range for locked coins in circulation)
There is a much higher sell potential right now than buy potential as there is no marketing or discussion on this chain to get people interested.
