These last few posts have been really helpful, thank you.
Don't worry, I have lived and learned. There will be no premine and it will be announced well in advance. Like you have reiterated, this needs to be treated like a business, I know A LOT of people get scammed on these forums so I will be vigilant. I will be fully transparent with all details and I am hoping for some feedback on my idea once it has been confirmed.
I will also look around these forums for programmers who are looking to be involved. That's why I posted here, its probably the best place to find the people I am looking for.
Part of the problem is you have not even proven your own value yet. We have not seen you maintain a coin through hard times and problems, we have not seen you come up with timely or ingenious pull requests, we know of no coins that testify to how useful you are to a coin or the community who is using a coin and so on.
Why would anyone want you on their team?
Or maybe that could be put as why is it that none of the existing teams seem to have found you useful or valuable enough to have welcomed you into their team, providing you with an opportunity to show us all why and how a team with you in it might be one worth joining?
