It can hurt Shadow where people don't understand what it means!
I don't believe Shadow needs to collaborate with dev talent in such a way. When it can be done and is done in many other ways that does not attach a project in the minds of people to the rest of the proposed projects there on the rider!
I don't see the a justification in the amount of risk carried by it that can spill onto Shadow. I don't see it balanced out by what Shadow cannot achieve without it and without the risk of it backfiring!
If one of those projects is found to be a scam or found to have exploits and i know it may sound silly but its the hard truth. The rest of the projects carry that burden in their image because they are affiliated through such a thing like the bridge (in the minds of uneducated masses)..
I just don't see how Shadow stands to benefit without so much risk nor do i believe it needs to collaborate in that way when it can do it without the risk! Yes one can argue that its a marketing stunt and will allow each project to benefit from resource such as attentions and marketing and funds.
I just don't think Shadow is going to need it. It has great tech a great team of talented individuals working on it and supporting it. I cannot justify taking the risk on such a thing to achieve what shadow will on its own because it has the tech to carry itself and the repore with other devs to collaborate and the attention from vc to fund devtime!!
Trusting the people in power and assuming what their intentions are is what lead most of the world to where it is mate. And it is why some of us are supporting and developing this tech to displace it from it's current foothold.
I'm just saying that i don't believe the sdc team or its supporters have said they are "in" Thats fact and is not an assumption! And that means that this is not something to be debated. Its false and someone has overlooked that fact when they decided to put sdc on its graphics and spread the word its 100% in! It's not and if anything, it is being considered but i don't believe anyone has said "its in"
But if they did agree it has nothing to do with us..they are the ones spending the money to develop, they are the ones putting the time in to make it happen, and regardless if we like it or not, it's there decision we are not investors we are speculators, this isn't a company, we do not hold stocks, we have no say, it's there decision, and i trust there decision, because everything they have done so far has proven to me that they are very capable and intelligent.
Sure, im not questioning dev ability at all. I believe you discount you position here and many others. This is nothing with out us. And our choices and opinions matter and what make it so. But more importantly i brought up the fact that sdc is not "in" but its being said otherwise by outsiders and thats what i'm concerned about here and was the primary topic i brought up and gave opinion and advice on to begin with.
What we (The Shadow community) have in the works here will dwarf any of this debate. I only merely state that Shadow is not "in" until it has been publicly stated otherwise by the Shadow community and its dev team. And to date, that is not the case.
