Shen did a fantastic job helping out this open source project.

That goes without saying. It was broken.
But what of the future?
You have no cryptographer since Tecnovert left.
And the bitmessage implementation (shadowchat) has not been vetted
Is ShadowSend now fully peer-reviewed and secure post-Shen? Or could there be other exploits?
How will you regain trust?
If Monero had been deanonymized the way ShadowCash has been it never would have recovered.
It was de-ringed, not "broken". It's an open source project so anyone can work on it (including smooth, since he pays so much attention to the project). WTF kind of vetting should SDC get, the fucking Elders of the Internet to stamp it with their dicks?
Of course there could be other exploits you fucking troglodyte. IT'S FUCKING 1's and 0's! It's goddamn code. Not like you understand anything about any of it though.
Regaining trust will most likely be done by demonstrating the coin's technological advantages over other coins (some coins don't even have a wallet let alone the Elders of the Internet dick stamp).
Why would a coin not recover as long as it is still being developed with a beneficial end game for all of humanity in it's crosshairs? YOU FUCKING TROGLODYTE
*Edit* My favorite part about this whole read is that you complain about the fairlaunch distribution yet are currently invested in an ICO!! rofl
