Please explain what is stopping you from joining the revival of your creation. There are ways to make the dev and maintenance more cost effective, as thing stand now it could be self sustaining. You would still be able to spend time with loved ones etc, it seems you have taken a very hard arsed attitude, maybe its hard to accept the rebound.

If you follow any other CryptoNote threads, you will be aware that the sort of funds needed to take CryptoNote to where it needs to be will cost 100s of thousands, so my feeling is that if you are in the CryptoNote camp, you have a pioneering spirit, and know its for the long run, there is no entitlement and no quick bucks.

For that to fall on just one is a lot to ask, so the more the better
