good question

Videlicet has kept the source-code private while the core is still in development of some critical features.  i am under the impression that the source-code was going to be released with the 1.0.3 wallet alongside the whitepaper. back in March but has now been pushed to an undisclosed date.

the reason for waiting to release the source-code is to ensure that Videlicet is recognized for his hard work...  getting CoinShield on more exchanges would be the good way to get CoinShield more publicity, but without a public source code, there's really no way for an anonymous developer to be recognized for their innovations

one way for Videlicet and KryptoKash to take this further without releasing source code would be to launch their company CoinShield Inc and disclose their identities

at the moment, anonymous developers and closed-source with no time-line makes this project very hard to follow or share with others...

cestballet, bitslapper, and others have been very dedicated to making sure this project has the mining resources and certainly that's a huge thing making sure this project continues moving forward in the public view

what do you think sigwo?
