Rhett is still doing his job. Look at the current price of Primecoin and WhaleCoin... He still has a lot of followers.
Becareful if you want to buy thoses coins, as they might drop very fast. Especially Primecoin.
I don't know why WhaleCoin is being pumped as there is no announcement of a fork or new development.
ZCL and BTCP are still in stagnation.
