I've messaged and e-mailed maxsolnc, the owner of datacoin.info, to see if he'll accept free hosting so we can keep the site going. No reply yet, if anyone can contact him more directly please put him in touch with me, thanks.
may the dtc be born-again when its price reaches 2＄
To be honest datacoin is a perfect opportunity for a good C++ developer who's interested in the technology. The coin is super-cheap due to being abandoned by its original dev. You could quite happily buy yourself into the top 10 addresses without too much outlay, fork the coin on github and start doing interesting things with the code.
You would have a financial incentive, an already respected coin that clearly was not premined and has a fair distribution and also the cachet of working on doing something innovative with blockchain technology. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.
