No, this coin is not dead.
It will be relaunched (properly) again by a new dev (me).
There WILL be a windows (ughhh) wallet on launch this time, and everything will be fixed, including the graphics, the nodes, and the pubkey_address.

OP updated with pools.
However, I am having trouble compiling the windows wallet. If anyone can help, I will send you the source code so you can get it done.
