Well, given that the project is launched and things have been running smoothly so far, the "Needs Years More" crowd is going to have to give more specific rationale.
If you look at how the money actually flowed, it went from the suckers to the premining pumpers who dumped it, and the devs will be paid another seven months before leaving the bagholders high and dry.
Note the irrelevance of the promised smart contract/distributed botnet functionality - which, as that post notes, at present rates won't be working properly for years - to the actual, observed flow of cash.
This is a repeat of Paycoin and Stellar. Totally standard premined altcoin pump and dump.
