Motivations:

  1. The project having been closed for 5 years,
  2. 1 BXC is now worth less than 1 ¢,
  3. It will stop building once Qt 5.14 is removed.

vertcoin looks pretty dead, but has at least been updated this year.
digibyte is dead indeed.

Motivations:

1. Bitcoin Gold has been unmmaintained since 2020
2. The GUI wallet doesn't support Qt > 5.14, which is deprecated
