Messaged Hendo and Maco, but haven't heard back. I thought they were back online after moving?
I'm not in a hurry, so I can go a long time without the devs. They were silent before. I would keep listening for tx42. He had progressed on a new algorithm for the 42. Also, tx42 had discussed a "community fork" of the 42 when the devs had been absent before.
Worst case: we take over the 42.
My plan: be patient.
I messaged as I wanted to promote 42 with some products. A fork certainly seems like a good idea, especially with scrypt ASICs. Must say it's a bit of a let down- that's a lot of effort to go to for a massive pump and dump don't you think?
