What makes a coin dead? I would say when it has no active nodes, no trading volume and no development, in that order. Anyone have a different definition?
My second question, why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?
CMC is listing coins THAT passed and submit their required standards. For such inactivities of projects, I think it takes months before they delist it or maybe an appeal.
I think coins could be considered dead if the team has no funds to develop or they abandon(No activity for a month atleast)
Coin developers that dont have funding does not constitute a dead coin. If they abandon fine, but being funded or not has no bearing on a dead or "alive" coin
