The coin isn't dead. I'm getting the daily giveaway amounts and the BTC dividends, and my coin is staking. It's listed on Bittrex although there isn't much market activity.
I agree that the devs don't post here very often but perhaps we should regard it as "no news is good news" and let them get on with coding the new features.
yes im getting dividends too everything is working well... im sure they are busy
