You guys are in denial talking about whales coming in and resurrecting the project. There aren't any whales here and the project is dead. It's marketcap is currently $26,000 and volume on a good day is $100. I'm sorry to say but this is as dead as a coin can be.
There is no incentive to take over this project by anyone or for the current devs to continue. They can make a new coin and instantly have a marketcap much higher than this.
The Big Community Behind the Project is a good incentive enough for someone willing to takeover the project. He don't need to start from scratch in building a strong foundation for the project.
Someone who has the capability to fund the project from his own pocket can bring a life on this project but they should FORK the coin and take over all the dev funds and do a coin swap.
