If that's the case, then I am absolutely sympathetic and forgiving. We have all invested time and hash and want to believe it was for the future of the coin. It's just nice to have some reassurance that the creator is actively promoting the coin to ensure it has a future. Which to me means a lot more than pushing a bounty for votes to get it to an exchange. It is way too easy these days to go download some coin's source code, change a few numbers and the name and launch their own coin. A coin needs a real cause and team behind it to be successful. Just because someone's mining doesn't mean anyone's buying... A coin's value is only what someone is willing to pay for it, and the only reason someone will buy it today is because they think it'll be worth more tomorrow.

I have mined a significant stake in ALN and I also operate alien.icalcul8.com at a significant loss in hopes that this coin will soon have a future.
