Funny that I logged onto the the NVO.io page today asn saw nothing has changed.  First time I looked in 6 months and then I remembered this was escrowed with cpaital releases upon milestones.  Since it appears project is dead I searched for the project and found this thread.  So, it appears there will be a refund.  Glad to hear it!  Where do I sign up?  And what happens with the Bitocin Cash that was forked in August last year.  I assume those will be refunded as well.
