I don't care if he invested 100 BTC, it was his risk and honestly he didn't do a good job at all plus he was lying to us. And to anyone saying we were sitting on our arses doing nothing, I can just laugh about that, you obviously havent been in the IRC channel. Several people were working on different projects for SMC including new websites etc, one of them actually looked really good but dev refused it for whatever reason, even though his own site looked like shit.
Besides, I don't believe him anyway.
The only reason he actually winded up here again after having disappeared is probably because these internet kids were threatening him and he actually got scared because his profile was here. It's clearly wrong to threaten somebody but on the other side I can understand their anger. It's not about this coin failing or you quitting, it's about HOW you quit. You caused a mess by changing the reward, not compiling a windows wallet and then left without saying a word. That's fucked up...
+1! the way he quitted it on was ridicilous, if he know he wanted out, why push block reward and fork before just to dissapear and ruin coin. . . that move made me lose all respect and i have defended him thru all this thread. sad move, cowardly move and good hes gone hope a real dev can take it over and get it up on track again, still belive new fork should be the way to go.
