The one sided picture I see largely being painted here is simply wrong.
Many investors, including myself, bought into a revolutionary design of a provably correct, provably private, provably secure internet based on the formal asynchronous process calculus. The internet is after all a network of asynchronous processes and process calculus it the right tool to constrain its behaviour. The Dor is apparently diverging from that vision.
During initial development, deficiencies were discovered in achieving all the goals of synereo. Greg had been overly optimistic about the utility of his legacy code. Plus it was clear that existing blockchain technology could not scale the network as originally envisioned. With full support of the community effort was diverted from alpha to the development of the Casper protocol and RChain which would have far greater utility for distributed applications generally than the original design.
Investors in this round were sold the RChain solution and many are angry that Synereo is changing its course now that the funds are in.
The second fallacy being propagated here is that Greg is incompetent and cannot deliver working code. Greg is an outstanding computer scientist who constantly produces working code that often runs the first time without error. He has been doing this in hangouts weekly. He has an open coding style under the constant scrutiny of other professionals. He often amazes us.
It is true the alpha has problems. It has served as a great proof of concept and all the basic capabilities have been tested individually. It has not been Greg's major focus since the decision to rearchetect a solution. But that he has not delivered anything is total garbage. Dozens of community members have run nodes and is supporting publically accessible community nodes. It is expected key issues will be fixed soon.
