no babble from my side  but leave it as it is, from the start I was mining img most on my private pool, never on multipools, so not a hash monkey - are you ?
I remember in 2018 to be the only miner ocasionally (when coin value was low) to keep chain moving, there was no interest from miners

like you also said, multipools move their hash power to another x11 coin with lower diff and there are plenty of x11 coins to choose from

here goes my thought to change algo preferbly to cpu one, like scrypt:N - it can't be found on multi currency pools, and most knovn coin is verium reserve as I know
all this requires work and interest to do it, maybe dev changes his mind, but as you said let's move on and leave it as it is, still better than token or pivx clone pos coin
