Sorry for answering a little late, I was not online... but the answer to your question... Actually, it’s far from dead. They had some solid momentum recently—especially during the last "Summer of Bitcoin" where a few devs joined to build out the monitoring dashboard and clean up the spec.
If you check the Github activity, you'll see they’ve been moving towards a more robust Rust implementation and refining the FROST multisig setup for the payouts. It’s a complex beast because they’re trying to solve the "payout centralization" problem without the overhead that killed P2Pool.
The lead dev (pool2win) is still active, and they’ve been hanging out in their Discord/GitHub discussions. It’s definitely more of a "build in silence" vibe than a marketing-heavy project, which I personally prefer.
