none of the links work to the bootstrap, wallet doesnt sync, is this coin dead..?
The coin's not dead -- people are actively mining and staking this chain. The wallet does need some scrutiny, TLC, or adjustment though; it's a pain for people to get this wallet to sync... (incorporating a bootstrap and hoping the wallet will sync and then allow staking).
I've got to retract my earlier hypothesis: there perhaps isn't a third (private) Honey pool. The difficulty readjustment algo for the PoW just gets bumped upward (so that the network hash is estimated to be a figure much larger than the actual hash) by people sending the bulk of the hash to Coffeepool until a point-of-diminishing-returns is reached. If people mined more adaptively (by balancing the load out at either Cryptohub or solo-mining when these would be more reasonable [based on the probability and the hash-distribution at a given moment or personal-preference]) it would result in a greater frequency of mined blocks instead of staked ones -- which would be good for the miners... maybe not so much for the staking

.
In short, doggy-piling into just that one pool pushes the mining more out of reach for all the miners (if people are mining to earn Honey they'll mine greater amounts if they don't make it so easy for the staking to win the next block). There's plenty of time for the PoS-ing to take over completely after block 500,000.
