[omitted]...And if consensus is that the items I bring up are not problems, take this as feedback from a "long time mastercoin user" that the project feels out of touch, lacks on the PR front, and has direction at the expense of overall quality.
Wow. That was a mouthful. You probably have a fair point on some of that stuff. For sure the PR is lacking. No offense to Dom who works hard. But I think the priority has been to work diligently on the technical aspects. Once those are working, a good PR scheme will introduce them properly to the community.
On the other hand, it seems like a knowledgeable longtime mastercoiner like you has loads to contribute. I sure hope you find your deal with the team and are welcomed into the effort to perfect that which will soon become a very powerful Mastercoin protocol.
