I don't undestand what Dev's up to. They're letting the coin die but then spend 1 bitcoin every 2 weeks to keep it afloat.
They probably buy&sell or sell&buy, so they actually spend only the transaction fees, not the whole amount.
Still, I don't understand why they keep the coin alive with no active developement going on.
Hopefully they are working behind the scene or making contacts to let someone else continue from where they have left!
