The coin is not abandoned, but there was a falling out in the Flying V about a month ago. One of the main Mother Ducks decided to fly south for a couple of extended vacations since the coin launched, he abandoned his ducklings and his duties.

A group of volunteers is still working on this coin part time.
 
Everyone who keeps crying scam can quack off Smiley We spent about 20 BTC buying duck from miners and investors at cryptorush and c-cex already, and we spent 30-40 btc on building services and marketing for this coin.

This latest round of problems has been caused by DuckDuckCoin being upgraded to QT5 for the mac build in February, which has caused conflicts for the developers to build the linux and pc builds since the hard fork.

Finally, there was no promises that DUCK was going to to the moon, yes it was the intention of everyone involved to do as much as we could to make it work, but it hasn't worked the way we would like. If course we would all like bitcoin to be at $2000 right now as well.

We are all speculators and know the risks of getting involved with cryptocurrencies. We tried a lot, we worked hard, it didn't work out the way we wanted.

Duck actually has innovated faster than most coins out there... it's been used kind of as a test bed. We have talented people working on this coin - but unfortunately, the trading community didn't bite.

We still have a lot of DuckDuckCoin and a lot of talented people associated with this coin. We have resources, but here's what we need for this coin to work:

1) Community
2) Traders

If Duck only has a community of people ragging on the coin, and doesn't have an active traders group backing it ... well then it's going to be tough for the developers to prioritize DUCK since there's not much reward for them.

Duck was one of the first coins to implement Kimoto Gravity Well
Duck was one of the first coins to patch KGW timewarp attack
Duck was one of the first coins to use QT5 build environment

If people want to self-organize and take over the DuckDuckFoundation, we have backing and duck to give.

This coin was supposed to be a fun experiment in creating a fun community of people who could grab onto something that was silly and light hearted like Dogecoin... something people could joke around with ... it was a self deprecating light hearted experiment... if you were late to the Doge party, you could join the Duck party.

That can still happen, but we need some self-organization.

Anyway for you to find away to get my ducklins to my wallet? They got lost and never came in..

Here is what info I gathered!

Please, keep me updated! Thank you!!

I have the same issue with a deposit a Comkort.  Although altexplorer.com shows that the transfer was successfully made into my Comkort deposit address, as seen here:

https://altexplorer.net/tx/f947fc640d0eacf0ec538a9ad5a236449ac3dca9a5df02390fa3a938d3e7002b#o0

The DuckDuckCoin explorer at http://birdwatcher.duckpond.io/ (which currently can't be reached) showed a completely different address in a different format.  Although altexplorer.net shows that the transfer was successful and that the deposit address assigned to me by Comkort still contains the transferred balance, Comkort refuses to acknowledge the deposit until they hear from the DuckDuck coin devs, who have not responded to the query previous in this thread.  I assume at this point after two weeks that my deposit is gone and DuckDuck coin is dead with no support?
