Not everyone here is hostile, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't in a good mood when they check this thread to see nothing new, and only reminded of their current loss (probably quite large for some of us right now). Regardless, I welcome joepl and his enthusiasm to the discussion, enthusiasm is good.
Supercoin can be marketed, but I think it's hard to market a coin where the Devs have made it apparent that they have walked away/ taking a break. Especially when you are trying to draw investors away from other coins with constant development. It would be different if we had a source code and had something to improve upon, but without that we can only market a possibly 'Dev-less' coin. It would come down to whether or not Supercoin code is good enough as is, and would investors realistically take communities word on it without a proper audit?
--------
Dev(s) if you are reading this I want to THANK YOU for the work you DID put into supercoin (maybe this isn't said enough). We all saw (and still see) the potential, many of us only wanted the best for supercoin when we recommended audits, P.O.D, and when we wanted better communication. If you are disappointed at the price right now and demotivated to continue, that's understandable, but if you have faith in your coin you should at least come back and talk to us and we can see where we can go from here. If you want a break, at the very least let us know and we can move forward. Leaving and saying nothing is hard on the community members who put time and money into Super, and who saw the potential along with you. Doing this will provide little hope for Supercoin to bounce back.
If you do decide to come back and continue work, maybe considering letting trusted community members be more involved in the developmental/management side. Maybe let someone manage the main website, someone else manage the Twitter, someone on Facebook, google+ etc etc. Supercointeam, you seemed to be doing all of these tasks, and that is probably a lot of work for one person, especially when you don't see financial gain from it. If Supercoin is to grow the management must also. Anyway, if you feel like communicating with us, please do so.
LOL, how long until you realize, this shit is dead?
