I think you owe it to investors, believers in CGB, and the community in general to come clean about your commitment and, more importantly, ability to dedicate time to this coin/project. You have said previously that you have a full-time job and other businesses if I am not mistaken, and so it seems unlikely you can attach too much importance to this project. Now doubt this is leading to the question in some investors minds (and it's starting to appear in my mind too) that this was never really nothing more than a bit of a money maker like the vast majority of alts, rather than something that genuinely had big ideas, big innovations, and big potential. To clarify, I'm not suggesting this IS the case, just that you cannot be surprised if those concerns start to appear. You have done a great job of presenting a friendly, helpful and enthusiastic public face, but ultimately that is meaningless without actions, and many people have been able to do this is in the past who then turn out to have completely different agendas. Again, this is definitely NOT the accusation I am laying on elambert, I only mean to say that being able to put on a good public front is not enough. There is no doubt that Mercury would not have made the accusations he did without at least some basis. So I guess what I have to ask is, are you the right man for the job? Are you willing to put in some time, and more importantly effort, to deliver on something you believe in even if this means sacrifices have to be made elsewhere? Or is this just a side project with a few nice ideals and the potential for a bit of a profit?

Anyway, sorry if you think I'm out of line, this isn't intended to be as harsh a criticism as it probably sounds, there is some really good work you've done and I can't possibly know the full picture. But I just wanted to raise some questions and hopefully the community can learn a bit and be given some confidence from your response. Thanks.

Fair enough. First off, you have heard one perspective of past events which I experienced quite differently than how they were portrayed in the version you heard. I am not going to launch into a public airing of he said he said, sorry. Secondly, I am not a developer. I came up with the concept for CGB and have to the best of my ability worked to support the talented developers I have worked with. I have made sure to recruit and support the best developers I could find. I have invested a lot of time and money in this venture and continue to do so. I give what I can and yes I have a family, son, full time job and a business venture. I am spread thin but I am not CGB. CGB is an open sourced community run project (just like Bitcoin). Has always been. We have assembled a talented team of 7 individuals who will work together to keep CGB moving forward and the community will be integral to success.
