I'll say it: The coin isn't dead. That's a troll chatroom now. The new devs have relocated to a new irc channel they stated in a few pages back.

And final point: If anyone is going OUT of their way to tell you that a coin is dead it's only because they don't want you thinking for yourself and mining it. Less network hashrate = More coins for them until it becomes obvious to anyone who takes a step back the market potential for this coin.

Think about it: Would you click through all these useless junk coins in this forum and make posts in each one stating that they are dead coins and it's pointless to mine? Why would anyone do that if they didn't feel they had anything to gain from it?

This comment is for anyone reading this, not just the guy I'm quoting (who could very well be a manipulater anyways).
