It seems the dtc is already almost dead. If we donn't make something then someone else can make alternative storage coin like dtc and kill dtc finally.
The vitality of this network is in your perspective.
Compare DTC of May 2017 with DTC of May 2018.
The new life is obvious to any observer.
Compared to 1-2 entity mining it worldwide for the sole fun of it (as I understand? or it was a plan to mine a lot of it, and then later "revive it" to grow bags), yeah network has get bigger, but it isn't any meaningful amount really.
And it's truth that this coin has big distribution issues. This 11mln we don't even know, if that's an exchange 11mln or one entity.
It looks abandoned for now.
