Because the requirement to move from clintar-pool to fancoder-universal was a regression in the pool backend codebase and removed the SSL option from the node. To prevent the site from failing due to HTTPS-HTTP mixed content I setup the redirect. forknote-pool is also on this older version of the pool code and also does not support the more modern features of Monero mining pools.
To fix this I would need to setup nginx to encapsulate HTTPS connections and redirect them to HTTP locally within the server when connecting to the backend API. I have not set this up yet.

Just a theory, maybe people are losing interest because it seems like the priority is getting this coin on any exchange regardless of the reputation rather than developing the community that is supposed to "power the coin". Shouldnt our focus be on attracting new people to this coin, do we have any other developers working on this project, is there a way for another dev to be involved? Do we have a subreddit that can attract more people? IMO,we need to have some people dedicated to the project other than the og dev. Maybe instead of  only donating to get the coin on an exchange, we should raise money to compensate the participants for their work on the project. Otherwise, wheres the incentive for people to get involved, how will they be compensated for their work? And what happens when the OG dev decides to move on to another project, who takes over, who will be there if we need a fork or a wallet update? And the whitepaper, is two pages really all that we can say about this coin? if the goal is get this coin to "get on an exchange and the people and money will come" and we dont have any real support, who would want to dedicate their resources when there are many other coins that you can mine that have strong community support and a dev team behind it. NoT criticizing anyone in particular but we as a community should agree to what the priorities should be for this project that has real potential.
Tl_Dr:
Maybe people are losing interest because the priority on this thread is to get on an exchange rather than an active discussion of the long term vison for this coin or at the very least  working to finish the white paper, and the only place to hear of this coin is this thread, slack, and twiter page with little activity. IMO, we should raise money to compensate work and attract talent to this project.

Heya, yeah I do feel the same, but how would we get more people involved and expand our reach? Are there any other methods of publicity that we can use? And where can we find people who would like to help with the project?

Am I wrong or global hash rate is decreased?

ird.globalpool.cc --> 222 KH
mine77              --> 222 KH
[Suspicious link removed]           --> 324 KH  (why is different?)

Seems we are losing interest from miner...

There is also https://www.southxchange.com, which has listed Masari, a CryptoNote coin.  This is actually a big deal, as there is no other exchange that I have seen actively listing CryptoNote coins.  I am not affiliated with this site, and you need to be just as careful with this as with stuff like https://stocks.exchange/.  But the Masari listing proves https://www.southxchange.com will take CryptoNote coins, which means they could become the next big alt-Monero marketplace if they're not a scam.

Dev, can you try to add iridium on this exchange: https://stocks.exchange/ ?
They have few coins trading at the moment and it seems the requirements are still pretty low (free), for a couple of days they added such new coins as PGC and WHL

I like the name of the coin.
But what are the differences with Monero besides the fixed supply?
