So is anything going to be happening that may revive the coin or is it basically dead at this point?

for starters, first POS android client is on its way.

This has been dragging on quite awhile now. You are the second person to attempt this. I'm confident your intentions are good and honorable and you have limitations on your time/resources to complete this task but....

Any way to bring in some help to see this completed sooner rather than later?

It was mentioned by a number of people that having the wallet mint was secondary to just having a mobile wallet.

If an android wallet didn't need the minting function, would it have been completed by now? Just curious.

No. I haven't done anything specific to add minting function yet. All the changes so far was to make bitcoin android library work for a POS coin without comprimising its security. And now the changes are complete, the library is running in the wild, connected to random nodes on the network (helps finding bugs once in a while)

As a side effect of required changes for POS security verifications, adding staking to the library became very easy -- it wasn't the initial target at all.

Not sure if there's any task I can offload to anyone else at this time. mrqu1cky sent his branding changes for android app, so it made things much easier, a huge thanks. Actually it will probably work just fine now if I just bind the library and app together, and release them. But it'll require a full blockchain download that would last for a couple of hours, so I don't want to release it in this state, it'll scare the users and undermine all the development done so far. There are some changes I want to make on the android app so initial blockchain sync problem gets resolved before release, and one extra feature we have been talking with David Latapie. Then I think it'll be worth the wait

Sounds very encouraging AND near completion. That's good news. And a big thanks for your efforts.

I view a wallet much the same as a railroad or freeway. They allow for the easy movement of people. A mobile wallet allows for the easy movement of coin - without the necessity of being near a computer.

Once you can easily share Mintcoin ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, , it gets into more hands, more quickly, MANY MORE. And this velocity becomes rapid (hopefully almost viral!) . With more people becoming part of the network it motivates more people to create more places for people to spend those coins. And the cycle continues...

Anyways, enough of my rant, looking forward to having the wallet on my phone and tablet!

yes
What a good news
