Interesting critique. I assure you-- the VeriCoin team is not going to have an issue with technological skill. I was a developer of PearPC (http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/) and more since then, Doug is currently the primary maintainer of an academic protein design software library, and David is one of the most skilled programmers I have ever met. While I happen to be getting my PhD in Computational Biology and Biochemistry, I don't think that detracts from our ability to progress. I agree that we could use some help with other aspects of the coin development.
