The coin is not the dev.  The more important question is whether *someone* has interesting ideas to push forward with this coin in some way.  Once pushed out into the wild, the coin is about the blockchain and convincing people to use it.  One could, e.g., fork the source (I've saved a copy of it already), and develop from there.  If you convince the major participants in the coin -- which are probably nxt-e, cpu-pool, dwarfpool, me, and the C&Cminer christians -- to update to some other version, it's probably as good as done.

And, with a little luck and encouragement, the dev might even support that move and hand over the website.

Anyone want a coin? :-)

(And if you were really devious, you'd buy a bunch of coins cheaply on nxt-e before saying "yes".  grin.)
