You certainly and obviously know that writing on a forum is not a proof. It is as worthy than any scammer brain fart.

Care to sign it your msc addresses on the blockchain? 

I'm just stating my intention, as I have repeatedly before in various contexts. Not trying to make a binding contract or prove anything.

But but.. I thought you said you are selling mastercoins(omni) to work full time on the project..  so $500K - $1M wasn't enough ?

Sadly I didn't get nearly as much as they were "worth" (according the speculative bubble at that time) - the price couldn't support that volume of a sale and I had to sell at a discount. I was dismayed at the time, but of course it turned out that I was selling close to the peak, which I did NOT expect.

Another factor was that my daughter almost died from a brain hemorrhage shortly after that and we spent a lot of money on medical bills from that, even with insurance. Plus, I wasn't willing to let the bank account dwindle all the way to zero. When I realized I would have to sell more to stay on, I decided the healthiest thing for the project was for me to step away from it, as I am comparatively very expensive for what I was contributing. It was, I am still convinced, the right thing to do for the project. If I had tried to stay on and sell more Omni, the price would probably be 10% of what it is now (just guessing).

Too bad the idiots around here don't appreciate your good and reasonable positions on this project.  I think you are doing the right thing.  Just support the devs who can continue to make good contributions.  That is awesome.  Craig is really great.  The whole gang.  I wish there were a clever way to increase the coding team.  That would be awesome if young hungry interesting talent would find ways to hook on to what has already been built and join the efforts being done now.  If doors were wide open and it were made easy for interested newbies to come up to speed with the help of the 'old timers' - I think this project could catch back on fire.
