I don't blame everyone for being "skeptical" of anything related to cryptocurrency because there have been so many scams. Concerning the Mastcoin developers, I have to assert that when they have legitimate jobs, and they get negative and borderline-violent rhetoric coming from this forum, you can understand why they might focus on their main occupations, first right?
I just want people to understand that negative and vitriolic rhetoric won't help anything in the process. Especially making the developers feel like the community is actually behind them. So if the community is interested in seeing the Mastcoin project continue, I would hope that even in cautious optimism the angry rhetoric could be kept to a minimum.
Software development takes time, and as far as the rest of the Crypto world goes, the Mastcoin team delivered the Recycler faster than any other community delivered anything. If you REALLY want to see them make something of this, get behind Mast.
Now, I hope everyone approaches anything crypto related with at least SOME skepticism...but to that extent, if you WANT a coin to succeed, the community itself can be part of that success.
If the developers don't make empty promises, and deliver on everything, they will have done their job. The Mastcoin project can still work.

I agree, I already agreed I'd hold my share until it died, tho I hope I don't see that day happen.
But any cryptos market is reflective on the development behind it however and I'll advise folk to be cautious until I see real development (By the way, I missed the showing of the test site, could I get a screenshot or something? Thanks) But on the flip side as fellow programmer (in college, still learning) I can attest that my measly little CMD prompt coding took HOURS to do, I got it perfected in 2-3 days and that's 500 lines of code without any headers whatsoever... The community pushed too hard and past Dev's didn't want the market to crash so they released a "psuedo" exchange to bide time until they got the code perfected, which is completely understandable given the pressure to help the market while major community members slowly started to have negative effects on the market by voicing fallacies, and questioning what was happening behind the scenes. I tried to voice my concerns about this and how it would drive them away/produce errored code. You will have my support once I see further development, even if you want to keep it closed source. but you should allot for extensive Beta testing, especially after the release of the "psuedo" recycler to help build trust in the program.
All that being said, while I am no crypto level programmer, I'm willing to help out and learn (If someone would actually take me under their wing, lol) I've been doing code academy, but that can only teach you so much... Look forward to your response.
And past Dev's, if you should happen to stumble across this,
I don't blame you. I can't say I wouldn't have backed off of the tremendous pressure as well that was put on you by the old community. But right now you have a chance to start over from scratch, the only people still on these forums are true supporters. While it wasn't cool to back out unannounced, you're still welcome back. You're ideas thus-far have been amazing, the only problem was implementation due to too much pressure. Whatever you decide to do, god speed.
