I'll ask the same question as asked by @js2 below:

Once the new server was up, did any signs from the field connect to it?

Do you know how many signs are out there actively looking for the mothership?

Here's my reply to him from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34328461

> Good question! No signs connected to the server until I reached out to some other sign owners to try out my instructions.

I do not know how many signs are out there. I imagine most people would have just unplugged their sign after the company's API vanished since any data would be stale and useless.
