If there is no new dev, all coins will die.

If you meant that without "DEVELOPMENT" these coins will die..... then I invite you to read the thread that you are currently in. As that is the topic of this thread.
The OP sort of discusses that part just a little bit.
Or maybe you meant that: "Without a Dev, all coins SHOULD have died. Except they did not. thanks to the OP."

Let us not understate the importance of the milestone we just hit.
Your LOL & CSO coins should all be worth ZERO satoshi right now.
ESC would be next, within a week or two max.
We have all avoided that fate.
Successfully.

You may not have a tangible "Dev" to believe in. Not YET.
But what you do have, is an OP who has proven how dedicated he is to salvaging these coins.
He has now delivered.
If not development, he has delivered you all from the clutches of pure evil.

I am not sure about the rest of you, but when those 3 threads were closed, it was obvious to me that Development was over.
Never going to happen again. Ever.
Now you have someone who is promising you that Development is going to happen again, and he is drawing up plans to make it happen, and he is including you in the process (something the old Dev NEVER did)....

... and you want to complain that not enough is happening? honestly.

Personally, I know what I would choose, given the choice between:
what the old Dev still has planned for these coins, what the new OP has planned for these coins, and what you have planned for these coins yourself.
Before you complain that the OP is not doing enough....
I must ask, what have you contributed to saving these coins? How much Development have you secured? and/or paid for? where is your thread so I can join it?
What has already been accomplished here, did not happen by mistake.
Nor was it pure luck.
Somebody out there has been putting in effort to get us this far.
And they are not done yet.

I, for one, appreciate that my coins still have some value. And some hope. Thank You OP!!
Rather than focus on the negatives, why not take a look around at all the positives that should not exist (but do anyways).
This thread needs hope. This thread needs community. This thread needs positive action.

Allow me to rephrase your post:

without true hope and positive contributions from the community, all coins will die.

That is not on any Dev (Past, present, or future) That is on all of us.

I apologize that my post comes over as purely negative. I merely meant that keeping volume alive isn't enough.However a community will only be formed around strong leadership. I've send the op the username of a dev who has taken over coins before and I very much appreciate there is someone who takes the time and effort to possibly revive these coins.
