I can't speak for him, but I don't think @ausbitbank necessarily has an "issue" - but motivated by giving us a little transparency about the genus of the project. Many of us are "steem-evangelists" and have dedicated and donated much of our time, creativity and resources to build a solid foundation before making a profit. Good or bad, it's a leap of faith many of us have put in this platform. Frankly, I'm glad to learn more about it and I am aware of @thecryptodrive's dedication to Steemit.

Hopefully you two can work out a reasonable price or haggle a payment agreement so he can carry the torch and implement the changes he envisions. Sometimes it's simply a leap of faith.
