As the devs have said they're still around, but they have real jobs to attend to so can't always be available.

I do hope any honest and new questions get answered though.

I didn't get a chance to comment on the previous discussions so I might as well comment now.

I liked the ideas about PoS and similar systems oriented toward Frac, expecially if they continue to build on Fracs innovations and go in a slightly new direction.

I don't really think anonymity will help, it's flavour of the month at the moment (just like memes were a while back), but none of the top 5 coins have or are considering implementing anon features.
Plus it makes it harder to deal with regulation, which is the major barrier facing all cryptos at the moment.

In any case, I trust Earlz and would be supportive of Frac going in any direction he thinks is wise.
