Would be great to get this up and running again as proof of resilience.
It is still going, and I've done some experiments with updating the wallet. Not ready to release anything yet, but I am currently running an updated daemon.
Price fluctuations are part of free market money. The huge swings of Bitcoin will vanish over time when much higher valuations have been reached. I look forward to the implementation of the smaller denominations. Works better from a psychological perspective.
