MPEx seems like the sort of project where the operator assumes technical competence and decent architecture is self-evident and will wow the marketplace, and then proceeds to vigorously blame people for their failure to appreciate the system - when it's more a case of the operator failing to understand (or give a rats arse about) people.
Hint: Your model will work nicely when autonomous software agents are starting Bitcoin businesses and need to IPO.
Excellent analysis. Megalomania is particularly ugly and sad.
