I don't have the 'lost project' feeling at all. There was a shake some weeks ago but it's all over and all the talks and proposals are going to yield fruits really soon. I'm waiting, I'm here for the long term.
Once we're through with implementing an agreeable governance formula there's no other problem, is there?
I'm also here for the long term, but having a better direction (by the creators / administrators) for the project would bring more confidence from other investors and users to it.
Theoretically not, but this change needs to happen first for me to be sure of it.
