Not dead, life happened.
Still pretty busy with school but my coding classes are getting me to where i need to be. Coin is currently Diff locked (damn asics) and im looking into changing the coin to reset the diff after every block. My node is back up and my pool will be back shortly.
I am not the best at coding so the fix may take me a while, once I can verify that everything works as it should ill give you a few weeks heads up to switch over wallets as well as the cryptopia guys
