Willet, did you actually delete the reddit thread? If so, why?

I trust you, but people have raised good points which I also raised myself:

1. This is a tad rushed (you could have waited 2 weeks between posting the 0.7 and 1.0 versions).
2. Trusting you is harder than trusting a board of trustees. I know you aimed very high for someone to hold the money for you, but Perfect is the enemy of Good. It's better to have some reasonable board (I don't care if I'm in it or not, actually I prefer not to be in it to conserve my precious time, but am willing to serve on it if needed).

The points above are not "make it or break it" for me. This is still a very interesting project, and I would like to see where it goes.

Point #1 can't be changed at this point ... the economical properties of the protocol have reached "1.0" stage and now can't be changed without a huge fuss. Point #2 can still be fixed, and I believe it would help everyone's trust in the protocol.
