Well I like Shift as it is all the good of Ethereum without the ICO seems like a strong community too. Just glad to have you guys.
Seems like the ICO hurt ETH a bit and it's reflective of the price recently. Also, one of their member just left recently, on good terms, but a disagreement on details of the project. Guess that goes with all businesses, not everyone will agree some times.
Agreed, and with the fact its open source technically any of the clones can immediately change to whatever they do. ICO's in general are bad. Shift by its own nature will be much more equally distributed.
