I understand your sentiment, but I'd warn against judging the project based on one blog post by Ethereum's communications guy. There seems to be some serious crypto/engineering heft behind the project:

Note: I'm not involved with the project. Simply watching it with interest at this point.

I'm curious about the heft you're talking about. Is there any public cryptanalysis by any of the Ethereum folks? Any widely used software projects? Cryptographic protocols? (I don't say this to argue otherwise, but I wasn't aware of any particular track record there, and a quick google didn't turn it up— so I was surprised to see that being said... Most of the people I know are involved in it were responsible for non-technical things in Bitcoin space or more or less failed other altcoins)
