I've got a sneaky suspicion that The Dev is too busy with another coin, I remember when this coin launched that Hendo The Dev behind 42 coin said he would be spending time helping to develop Aliencoin for his friend on the 42 coin Bitcointalk thread and promoted Aliencoin on his thread
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Hendo is Aliencoin and hasn't got the time to develop Aliencoin as I think he has a few other coins in development.?
