So what are the odds that the devs add something new and exciting to this coin? They have the power and understand the code well enough to get some exciting features.
What would make more sense, for them at least, is to dump everything and make BCN v2.0, eradicating possible flaws of BCN v1.0 that would require redesign. In the process they could also do a fair launch or get money with an IPO or something. They have a proven record of delivering technology, so it wouldn't be hard.
In this way they would also reclaim the market from BCN-1 clones, to the extent that BCN-1 clones can't retrofit changes of BCN-2.
Cryptonote coins are like a landmine from an investment perspective. BCN = premine where you'll get dumped. MRO = clone but way fairer launch / can't maintain price due to inflation, other BCN-clones = not even the first clone. Only thing that makes sense to invest in with big money is BCN 2 if it ever happens. Otherwise I'm just hedging DRK with the others and hoping that the hedge money aren't completely evaporated by dumping to 2 satoshis (BCN) or inflation (MRO).
