1. has nodes
2. connected to XRP market <<< value there as XRP sidechain
3. mature 'older' coin, early 2014 launch
4. antiASIC anyone can mine
5. rock bottom priced
6. listed on Cryptsy (for what's that worth?)
all depends on last point ... HVC maybe dies if bigVern absconds
plus added value
listed on Coinmarketcap and Cryptsy
http://heavyco.in/ (nice open source repo) ... this is a nice touch
and several pools are open
Thank you, However the reality looks very different, And look be the same to many anothers coins:
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/heavycoin/#chartsPlease be more specific, what reality? Your version of reality is too much price based, you are close to declare dead every coin that has no significant price value. I guess it would be ok (in your terms) if I had like 95% of coin supply and few fake buy walls at, for example, 3000 satoshis, would you declare it dead than?
You disregarded everything what BitcoinNational stated,
Has nodes - 475 000 blocks in 2min per block thats like 660 working days for blockchain non-stop
Btc and xrp markets
Anti ASIC - you can read about hefty1 algo, which this was first coin to implement, so there was significant development required for this coin. also this was first coin to implement block reward voting, as part of blockchain so miners can decide how many coins they mine every 3600 blocks. 3 phases of mining etc cant remember all now.
Instead declare it dead, you should first review facts about coins and than decide.
Let's look at your 3 assumptions:
"1-is since Apr-2014 Dead? Yes, at least from the point of view of Dead coin thread."
-In April 2014 mining was at first phase ( which you dont have a clue what is, dont you?) producing 300K-400K coins a day at very high inflation (which btw eventually affected your favorite "index" - price) but also with highest number of miners since hvc just become a gpu coin (hvc was initially cpu coin but I guess you did not know that also) So with diff 3000-5000 april was probably time when this coin was more than alive. I would understand if you randomly pick another month but in april to september this coin was anything but dead by all parameters.
" The suddenness of which appeared Xocel, Only 3 days after last answer of Original dev keccak and considering it on another coin:"
-I told you in my previous post, xocel was blockexplorer provider, who took bounty for explorer, not coin dev but you ignored that post. We were in need of explorer since all 2 previous explorer stop workinig (first was 42txsomething explorer, second was some abe explorer, third was xocel's heavychain.info explorer, and finaly, thanks to GrinZ we have explorer which is working for over a year now)
"If we consider the abrupt drop in price after the IPO after two months, and the "Original Dev" just stop posting, somebody could think that: Yes it was a scam."
- Finally "abrupt drop in price"
your favorite and if I may add main and often only index for declaring coins dead. In my opinion and probably most of hvc holders, we would like dev was more active, posting random sh**t about new functions like maybe messaging in wallets or game in wallets or something like that but that would keep price for some time, coin price would drop anyway considering large coin inflation which eventually did (400 000 coins a day is very high inflation, but miners voted for it). So if we have a coin with blockchain moving without hiccup for almost 2 years, dif retargeting up and down fluidly, coin and blockchain moving in all projected parameters and spects why you need a dev? To hold your hand and babysit you? To pump and dump with fake promises?
So to conclude, I don't agree to declare this coin dead for above stated reasons. Dev obviously left this coin but only in terms of future plans and development, he delivered basics for this coin and all that is working fine, to be honest, not thanks to him but to good people. Someone will continue development for this coin, eventually, on solid base witch exists now.
