Is there Hope you cry ....

Yes as long as one has faith meaning a exchange to there is hope in any crypto coin, not all coins have to go through fundamentals to be successful in fact i remember certain coins that were Dead had a community still functioning and people with wallets into the billions of the coin and finally a dev team picked up the coin and those billions of coins turned into rel hard cash. Hope is where a single candle lit into the night is a signal of recovery replenishment safety crypto currency is like that sometimes you win sometimes you HODL for years but they eventually just drop off the face of the Earth and take with them the Nodes or they hold on providing a aspect, Shield is a coin that is still listed on many pools still has a functioning .qt wallet can still be mined so yes hope exsists.

Yes you are right.
But in the case of this coin, there has been no development for 3 years, the site, the explorer is not available.

The volume of trading on a pair of exchanges is as much as $4 per day.

There was not even a community attempt to revive the project.
but you should also remember that the coin is alive as long as there is at least 1 miner and 1 node on the network.
