Count me in as another proud investor without issue for over 2 years and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes.
With regard to the development timeline, just remember we've had 6000 years of human-controlled/manipulated currency and all of it's inherent problems. I think taking a few years to build an autonomously decentralized version is more than justified.
As for the baseless criminal accusations. Oh puhLEEZ. I've flown from Texas to the UK to meet with him personally and can 100% vouch for his credibility and acumen.
Like Peachy, i've also trusted Dan with my personal funds for a long period of time and would not hesitate to contribute more. Dan could have launched a long time ago at the peak of the bitcoin hype train back in December 2013 and made much more money than he have ever had in emunie investments. He spends countless days and nights coding - to me, that seems like too much of a hazzle if you want to scam everyone. It would be much easier to finish a gui, crack on a Wordpress template and spend the weekend at the Hilton spending other peoples money.
