About the BTCD swap: If all the BTCD supply is not swapped by the 15th of January, there will be a small portion of BTCD (less than 20%, cuz according to bitcoindark.com "over 80% ... has been swapped") in circulation. Indeed, the coin won't be maintained, but if users want to keep the blockchain running they could. This seems to create room for some crazy speculation (very high price due to scarcity), unless of course exchanges unlist BTCD, well it could still be exchanged OTC but I think not being on exchanges will considerably limit the trades, thus helping BTCD to die peacefully. I don't recall having read anything about exchanges stopping BTCD support, I would expect them to do so as BTCD will no longer be maintained but one never knows. Any thoughts/infos?
It hasnt been maintained in forever, exchanges still list it and it trades

more like 93% has been swapped, estimated 5% lost forever, so maybe 2% left to swap or live on as zombie coin

Thanks for the reply. So actually all the more reason for the price of BTCD to eventually skyrocket (and probably dump after that) if they keep it listed. I mean a potential 2% in circulation is almost as scarce as it gets. Don't you think?
Would it make sense for Supernet to get in touch with the (four) exchanges listing BTCD (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoindark/#markets) so that once BTCD can't be swapped anymore, they delist it?
(Of course this won't matter if all of it is swapped.)
