if you don't address the issues now, "the project, the people behind it, their priorities, who it's trying to benefit..." is based on a sack of bullshit with holes in it.
if the coin's fundamentally flawed, then i would recommend "the people behind it, their priorities, who it's trying to benefit..." switch to a cryptocurrency that is more competent.
Who says it's flawed ?
cryptsy does:

auororacoin is flawed because $30,000,000USD of 'market cap' is being protected by less than 2 gigahash of video cards.
if a coin can be forked with <1gh of mining power, the coin is flawed.
there are many other flaws in the coin. it uses the flawed implementation of kimoto gravity well too, and i believe there may be an ongoing stress test of some kind.
