The biggest issue is that it has no real place in the ecosystem right now, its trying to be a bitcoin competitor but bitcoin already lost the transaction coin war to second gen coins, now that third gen faster and better coins are out digi is simply obsolete in what its trying to accomplish.
It needs to finds its niche, or be given direction at least. All that has ever come from the devs in the last year is to go use it and develop on it. Id like to see it thrive but it has very little adoption or use case.
The crypto world thrives on emotion, hype and fear. Digi is dull simply, no partnerships, updates or application in the real world turns people off no matter how good the tech.
