The only people "disappointed" are those who do not realize the size of the task, thinking it's something minor. Newsflash: It's isn't. Calibrate your expectations accordingly.
Superb remark.
I've worked as a business systems developer for 25 years. I see these things a whole lot differently from 'consumer investors'. The way yesterday's issues were dealt with instills great confidence in me that the developers have their priorities right. I don't want them to pander to the market, I want them to get the solution right.
The market will reward the efforts soon enough if that happens. In fact, people generally feel safer with a project that has gone through "growing pains" and has them behind it rather than one which has them all to come.
What they need to do is keep going, keep taking one step at a time and get it bedded down solidly before moving on. That seems to be exactly whats happening, so I'm happy. The price will flap about in the wind for a while in the meantime but it will be worth it in the long run.
Evan will probably come to be seen as the safest and most experienced pair of hands in the business as far as hard forks go in the long run and we shouldn't get rattled at this point.
For my opinion the testnet wasnt well organised, if you look at darkcointalk/irc. They should work now to get a real transparent sandbox where communication is possible and everyone knows at least which testnet release is current and it doenst really help here that the masternode code is not open source for auditing.
