I do believe I have something of value even if Shen is able to resolve every flaw I might find, because there is more than one way to skin a cat and mine is I think simpler to understand. Also mine should be more generally useful, because mine can sign the transaction even to 0 outputs, e.g. a burn transaction or signing to a future of outputs that will be decided later. And there are probably other scenarios where not conflating the inputs and the outputs in the signature has some use case that Shen's can't do (other than the one I already asked him about).
Now this sparks my interest, I could see myself donating to make this kind of feature into the Monero repository one day, also, like you recognized, the work being done by Shen could result in the same as your pricey whitepaper so why someone interested in Monero would buy it? Btw I see no problem in what you are doing and I think the price could indeed be low compared to what it could unleash but the problem is I have no expertise in this area, I need to take the words of those I see wiser than me and with a proven record before (as I think most people do) throwing money at speculative assets for speculation sake, and I personally have no interest in launching a coin or owning a whitepaper I don't understand hence why you may find your prize from someone else with other motives.
Well I am saddened to read that Monero devs are in poverty.
Just lol, I hope you are being ironic as I said the Monero devs did not win lotery deving for Monero (yet), I did not said they are poor by the contrary most seem successful in their respective areas of bussiness hence why they can afford donating time and effort for Monero at this point.
I want to read that we are expanding the crypto markets and all of us are getting wealthy while improving the world.
Well thats the goal, glad to read it from you too, even when you are after quick buck (and perhaps rightfully so).
