I am now just destroying my VPS with NYX masternode.
I do not know whether NYX coin was dead, but my MN coins now worth $8. we are waiting for a better time for this coin.
Worth of NYXcoin plummeted in last two months, and ROI for NYXcoin masternode fell dramatically, too.
You are right that we all should stop running masternodes and wait for good news on inside developments of NYXcoin project.
