Please devs, if you read this, don't take the shit storm personally. Things like this happen. You weren't prepared perfectly, but that's no reason to quit. Just keep a clear head and think about the next steps. The mood of the community will change as soon as you bring positive results. Also reputation and prestige of this project will be fine (in fact, these things won't matter any more as soon as there is a product. Nobody will ask about initial problems then). The only thing these shit storms effectively do is to spread the coin distribution. Stay on top, keep your head above the storm, calm down and make intelligent decisions. Haters gonna hate, just continue with your project.

Also speaking to the crowd will help. Post on this forum, tell us the current state but don't listen too much as long as you think that you are going into the right direction.

People who are still in, please demonstrate your support because otherwise only haters will speak and provide a wrong picture.
