So, whilst the network itself is alive and well, this thread is in the shadow zone of the never-dead...so I suppose that visitors are either ghouls having a gloat, mourners lamenting and finally people assessing whether it is worth buying/trading....
in the absence of any other information, I'll give my assessment :
CONS
- Devs appear to have abandoned the project or at least have gone to ground since August, leaving some unfinished promises (please see previous posts)
- blockchain off-line and absence of Devs problematic should any technical issues arise in the future.
- recently de-listed from Bittrex and remaining Cryptsy market weak volume
- bad name for Asian market (someone told me that Gue sounds like "demon" in Chinese(?), but I'm not sure about that.(Personally, I see that as a PRO!)
PROS
- Fast and for the moment cheap staking coin (dynamic interest 1-8%)
- low coin number with low inflation, plenty of lifetime left for staking
- Network/infrastructure in good health with strong stakeholder support
- Some market support in current range
- potential takeover target for a new development team
- good name, cool in a certain milieu
- possibility that Devs will return with goodies (this is crypto after all!!)
Personally, I am supporting this coin both in the network and the market, because apart from the weak market, in my opinion, GUE is a good as, if not better than, a lot of other staking coins and I kind of like the absence of Devs constantly having to shout "improvements", because the coin has the potential to reposition itself as the rebel community coin...and I can feel that some of you are agreeing with me.
Ok, these are just some thoughts, if anyone has any criticisms or additions please feel free to comment...

I was one of the Gue supporters and quite sured that this coin has enormous potential to success. So I invested considerable money into Gue actually. It's so sorry for Dev's disappearing all of sudden.
Even if this is abandoned long time ago, I also feel there are still some interests on this coin. (Seeing from out side, it's surely dead long ago)
I still stake the coin until now, and every time I open the wallet, I feel very sorry because the wallet is still working good without Dev. I agree with your idea of the resurrection of Gue since it hadn't fully achieved the potentials it has and still is worth to resume development.
But I'm totally an outsider of programming, so I just don't know barriers which might be confronted during revival work.
I just regard my loss as a tuition fee for the investment.
I consider my loss the price of a used car! I was in for 5btc , when bitcoin was trading in the 600s. To have someone take over the coin would be fantastic.
