But even if I didn't give a deadline, someone is always going to complain about something.
IMHO my wrong deadline estimations are the least of SPR's problems (and they will go away over time).

This is an appeal to futility. A logical fallacy. It doesn't matter that someone will complain about something. This does not detract from the arguments that are being made.
If wrong deadline estimations are the least of SPR's problems then what is the most of them?

It's this whole "faux urgency" as someone else stated, that goes on in certain parts of the community.
That's why a certain brand of people seems a little bit restless right now!
My wrong deadlines don't correlate with the "faux urgency" in their head, and that is what causes them "cognitive dissonance" and ultimately makes them snap!
We have a tiny group of people who own an insane amount of SPR (probably 5 Million in the hands of no more than 10 people),
and they can't wait to do "something" with it, they don't give a fuck about decentralization etc.
They want that quick masternode-wealth-redistribution-scam, do some scammy PR, move the price 20x-30x, dump their coins and be done with it.

Your comment about people not caring about decentralization is a baseless generalization. There are perhaps people who don't care about it, but not everyone.
Unfortunately, the faux urgency you speak of here has been wholly brought about by your deadlines.
You have said them with such utter confidence can you blame us for believing them?
Had I been told about you only working on the project "0-10" percent of the time I would have put my money elsewhere and come back to the project. No problem. Instead, other investors and I have been misled by your timelines time and time again to our detriment. Perhaps even I could have put my money into a project that I could make a lot of money and then come back here and help you out with larger donations.
So even you have prevented your own gains, though it has not been visible.
Frustrating is an understatement. I highly doubt people would be so anxious if you hadn't misled them with apparently completely unrealistic expectations for when things would be done.

It is true that I keep planning deadlines as if I was already working pretty much 100% on this project, when the reality during the last 12 months has been on average 0-10%.
I probably do this unconsciously (out of gleeful anticipation), but then my dayjob always catches up on me with a loud wake-up call.

Thank you for your honesty. It is highly appreciated. I am confused as to why you would keep up this facade of working a ton on SPR while you were actually not working all that much, but alas, here we are.

I don't mind that some people are starting to act "cancerous" on BCT, they have always been doing that, and if anything I always welcome it when someone shows me their true colors.
I don't think anyone brings up these points out of some visceral hate for you or the project. Everyone here wants this project to succeed for various reasons. You have admitted to not working as much as you have made it appear you have been working. Labeling the community cancerous for finally saying something is rather ridiculous.
I think I speak for more than a few people when I say it is hard not to feel as though we have been disrespected and personally lied to. It inspires some level of resentment to be perfectly honest. So if my posts come off as harsh I hope you understand where I am coming from.
Anyway, Pokeytex raises good points. I think avoiding deadlines is a good way of proceeding less you want to risk inspiring more angry bongo drumming from the natives.
