I agree with both your points and everything has a silver lining.  Maybe they are relentlessly coding/beta testing to release perfected features because a lot of what they've done up to this point has been the opposite of blatant scamming.  Maybe that's the point, maybe it's not.

The only discouraging sign for me is the lack of ANY communication, uniformity, and consideration for the community/investors.  It was here for the first 3mths and has since subsided.  That speaks volumes and some communication this week by Dagger is vital because he, ALONE, set the standard.  It doesn't take much to restore hope/confidence unless there is nothing to be hopeful/confident for.
