Indeed, smcardle was the biggest force behind the new Coino team, and without him we can't do much.
I personally haven't heard from him since he was back for a day after his accident.
As much as I hate to say it, I would call Coino dead.
It's interesting that he still seems to be mining coino on the nation-wars pool for at least the past few weeks now. Unless it's someone else using his account.
