bitoffer[he no longer uses that name] asked me if i wanted to take over the hoc coin. he said he can give me twitter,bitcointallk,domain ownership. I did some wallet work for him and some other things. I told him it does not look like there are enough people interested to try and bring it back to life. If someone is going to take over hoc it needs to be someone who is passionate about the coin, and im probably not the right person for the task.
The crux of the matter is the coinbank. What has he done with the BTC that everyone invested. This was never supposed to be his for the taking. If he will transfer the BTC to someone else or put it in escrow then I am sure interest in HOC will return immediately and we could continue where we left off.
