I mined a few XRY a few weeks back with some positive hopes for the coin especially liking the high interest deposit feature. But I mine no more since there are really no more updates from the devs and the price is tanking. If others are of similar mind such as myself then there may not be any miners left to mine the chain. At the time when I was mining there were 4 pools and many more miners than there have been during the past week.
Whats the point of having a machine turned on and running when there is no-one left to use it? So as far as Im concerened the devs need not turn off the machine for the machine to be useless.. ie dead. My opinion. Take it or leave it.

All thats needed is for one of the devs to speak up, communicate, present an update or anything to feed the masses in order to get some interest and confidence going again. With out that we have, for all intents and purposes, a dead coin (or one rapidly dying of hunger)
