The only reason I purchased Gulden was because I thought Nocks was a good service and you could buy at bitcoin merchants using Gulden with Nocks. When Nocks shutdown it was the end for Gulden. I also supported EFL but it never had people like Roel to make a difference.
IMHO the death nail was the removal from litebit and bitcoinmeester. From what I have read on this thread, blockhut only sells the premine and this is a sad state of affairs for potential investors. No one will touch this coin if they can't buy and sell easily.
