The reason for doubt among the community is because we believe that IF the technology works the way the white paper states (which I believe it does), then you have created a technology that there is a HUGE demand for in the market. This combined with the fact that you are willing to walk away from the project spells confusion among investors. It looks like a dev walking away from a guaranteed pay day. Whatever your reasons may be, it is your choice, so be it. We are individuals and make choices, but moving to another dev is difficult without visibility and requirements.

Why would anyone walk away from something for which there is such huge demand in the market? Think about it, sounds like another scam to me.
The need for a new and qualified dev is a very real reason for the current situation. I discussed this need with Supercoindev in the very early stages.
It is vital to have a good and substantial team/community to take development forward, because one or two developers cannot manage alone . It is safest for the code to remain closed until that team is assembled, because once it is open, a stronger organisation can clone it and take it forward as their own new coin.
Maybe it is the community which has failed (thus far) and not the dev ?
Remember, all cryptocurrencies are a work-in-progress.
