dead?
No. We still have a developer. As long as we have a developer, the coin is alive.
Well, not exactly I don't think. Kittehcoin still has a developer but I don't think we can quite call it a living coin. My guess is the cutoff is listing on reasonable exchanges, once a coin begins being removed from there, it's all downhill. This is what's happening to liberty coin at the moment, painful to see.
