With his already registered the website OHMCOIN I think they could more easily attract investors and advocates to join into the project

Attracting investors is a big issue for a project that wants to base it's business model doing charity work. They need some ex-Unesco guys or something to be the operations head to lead this project anywhere.

Besides, this is one of the cheapest masternodes around with somewhat noticeable market cap and ROI. But if they are to sustain themselves in this sea of shitcoins then they need to expand their team and push out more updates on the code repositories. I checked their git, it seems they haven't updated the code very frequently with some repos not even touched in the last 6 months.

This really turned me away from hosting a few nodes myself.

We are already working on setting up our own Nonprofit which once done should help with attracting more investors. Also, when we implement the AoK code the coin will be able to facilitate crowdfunding on the blockchain which will make it harder for people to censor crowdfunding campaigns. If you stay up on the news, you may have noticed that activists consistently petition crowdfunding sites to shutdown legitimate campaigns for political, religious or cultural reasons. Political being the biggest motivator for most uninformed activists, which is quite sad in my opinion. In essence we would be making crowdfunding, as Anthony Antonopoulos would say, "borderless, censorshipless, peer to peer and decentralised".

Yes, some repos in our git have not been updated because some of them are being staged to be updated. The main thing is that we do update the coin frequently but we do not update the master until a new release is ready. If you look at the develop branch you can see that it is active and we will be pushing some more updates once we release Ohmcoin 2.3.1 to the public. This next update after this next one, which we are already working on will include segwit and possibly some form of tiered masternodes.

As for sustaining above the sea of shitcoins, where we will shine will be when our AoK platform is implemented, giving the coin a use case.
