For whatever it's worth, this coin's code was reviewed carefully by a pretty smart cookie several days ago and it was given a thumbs up (it wasn't made public - just something this one guy did as a favor to me). I'm surprised that after putting such effort into coding this coin (far more than your typical copy/paste P&D's), the dev isn't interested in staying with it. Says more about him and less about the code, which ultimately is better for the investors/miners who put a lot of BTCs into Axis and are looking for a return.

I'm not a developer so I can't help fill his shoes, but this isn't a junky coin. If we got the right dev(s) on board, this coin could easily moon.
