If he's going to let it expire he needs to give it over to someone who will keep it going forever. I can volunteer for that. What about the webhosting, what's the deal there?
it was actually my bad me thinks... anyways got some hosting sorted and a couple of additional domains! Just give us a week or 3 to get the block explorer fixed..
I was just offering since hosting and DNS is super cheap, especially if it's longterm, and it's pretty unprofessional to have it just tank/disappear. It also can open up security issues.
if you check the free domain names, you'll see that starcoin.info and starcoin.com already occupied. But there are other options. For example bit.starcoin or similar. The question is how much serious the new organizer about of the project. Or again they want to organize a pump and dump?
I can give you the example of a project
Diamond. See how professional these guys revived coin.
