Edit: He is too arrogant to lead a project. He refuses to take help from others. He won't acknowledge his mistakes. He'll release live code without testing it inorder to fix live code he released without testing.
There goes his leadership and project responsibility. In the same action goes any sense of responsibility to the people who use SolidCoin.
If anything, CoinHunter is making great use of his talent

LOL Even if I loose every dime I've invested in Bitcoin and Solidcoin, it was well worth it. The entertainment provided by some of the people here has been priceless. 
Looks like it was true. BitcoinPorn is so high on Coinhunter he can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy anymore.
They did become true followers of coinhunter and are now apparently completely submerged in coinhunters world. So it seems coinhunter can cast a spell over people.
Now look at apparently intelligent people, like viperjbm, BitcoinPorn, FlipPro, to just name a few. They did become true followers of coinhunter and are now apparently completely submerged in coinhunters world.
I'm pretty sure viperjbm and FlipPro are not supporters of Solidcoin. I've seen them advocating a fork with demurrage plenty of times. So I guess CoinHunter was just born to lead BitcoinPorn.
I think we can all agree that coinhunter is acting like a dick. We most probably can agree the the changes he made was without knowledge of what the code actually does. Basically he delivered some crap product. Then when someone tells him about some bug/issue he simple ignores it or even blame the one that discovered it being a terrorist. So he is probably the worse guy leading any software development.
Yet, all that said, it seems he does have a lot of followers. We knew some of them before the whole solidcoin saga. So we can say that at least some of them are (or better have been) rational and intelligent people, and we can guess that those are not (all) sock puppets of coinhunter. So what does make rational and intelligent people into some fundamentally extremist. Well, we have seen this behavior in religion and to some lesser extent in politics. It always needs some charismatic, or at least very weird, leader. Look at Scientology/Ron L. Hubbard or Nazism/Hitler or Davidians/Koresh as examples.

And as we all know he doesn't do this with his work. I can only conclude that apparently he has some talent to be a leader - he is a natural born leader.
To cut a long story short, I think he wastes his talent by pretending to be a developer. I mean, he delivered only junk and despite this still got all those people as his followers. So I think he should drop his staged development, and concentrate on his role as a leader. If he really wants he could be the next Jobs/Hitler/Lenin/Hubbard/whatever-he-likes.
