First of all, good work JR!
i like what i read, i think it's a good direction.
+1
way to go.
i am very interested in this project and in these concepts.

that said... reading the "white paper" it seems there are a lot of 'gaps' in the description.
i would go along with what Ripper says and get more people to help translate your ideas... this way, things you see for granted and you neglect to mention [what i call 'gaps' - might just be things i don't understand] will be smoothened out.

also not a bad idea to have more people onboard or just a 'board' which can let you do the work without the constant suspicion.
i can see this suspicion as very understandable, but you can't do anything if you have to justify your every move.
on the other hand, if you need to build such a construction for very little donations it might be a hassle for little effect.
maybe you could announce that you intend to have a board in case you receive over a certain sum that will allow you to take a paycheck and work full time... it might let serious investors feel a little better buying more mastercoins.


i for one find your words and vibe very genuine and intelligent.

good luck.

i would be happy to give my opinion on the technical aspects of this paper, but to be honest i wish to read the 'bitshares' paper first so i can have another perspective.
