I've been in their Slack. The coin is dead, there was barely 5 people there the last time I went in. It was also an obvious scam from the start, and that scam was confirmed when the info leaked that Promotheus was illegally pumping/dumping the coin in cooperation with it's developer, Dan Metcalf(atsecure), which is what led to him to hosting another illegal IPO for his scam Blocknet, in an attempt to make more money of user's funds.
The same thing is going on with Darkcoin or Dash right now. The user named, masternode, who just happens to be the leader of the Darkcoin or Dash Foundation, and Otoh are working in cooperation with Evan Eddufield to pump/dump the coin as evident in all their posts(To which I've recorded). Eventually when these scammers go to jail or get sued/investigated for illegal pumps/dumps and illegaly selling securities, since Evan Eddufield has been the sole, main developer of Darkcoin, Dash, for a while, the whole cryptoscene would finally prosper.
I didn't want to mention the similarities between DASH/Darkcoin and XC here, as many people get very upset and to honest, I haven't got time to defend myself against a hoard of 15 year olds throwing their money away.
I do recall stating the fact that both XC and Darkcoin had similar characteristics back when XC was the next hot thing to own. They both have developer worship, they have limited technology or even unworkable technology touted as the next big thing, they have some type of scam/premine in their history.
I gave up last year trying to educate the Darkcoin people. I figure it's easier to watch it burn out and then say I told you so, much like I am doing with XC right now.
