And reading between the lines, can we expect a project with smooth and TPTB_need_war pair programming and altcoinUK as a project manager?

On altcoinUK as the manager, absolutely 0% chance. No disrespect, but one thing I don't want are managers (as opposed to organizers). I prefer a lean approach where every worker is their own manager. altcoinUK as an investor or as a coder perhaps (but also not pursing this as he has retired from coding and I am shooting for crowdfunding donations instead of investors at this stage if possible). On the potential of smooth and I working on the same project, this potential always exists in open source projects as we are all free to choose what we want to contribute to. As to the likelihood of smooth and I partnering to create a project (CC or otherwise), smooth and I talked before in mid-2015 about that (and not since) and it is not outside the realm of possibility but it isn't likely. I think probably the main reason is because smooth's focus afaics is for any project to be strictly modelled in the open source model, and I am instead wanting to combine aspects of closed source and open source and using some commercial marketing concepts. I get the impression this is foreign to smooth's desires, as ostensibly evident by his recent statement about the advantages of Monero:

in the long run, moneros inflation is irrelevant tho... what matter is when all top 10 coin has anonymity implemented, how would xmr will stay relevant Huh

ASIC-resistant pure-PoW coin with many independent miners, fair launched, healthy distribution (objectively shown by high available liquidity), vibrant and inclusive open source project that demonstrably attracts developers, integrated into a privacy-centric development effort including the privacy-enhanced cryptocurrency and I2P router development, deployed and proven dynamic block size scalability, 2-year project and code maturity, well-defined governance, strong experienced core team with diverse skills, proven forum funding system (crowdfunding).

I just looked at the top 10 coins. None have a very strong subset of these qualities. There is no risk to Monero's differentiation in the foreseeable future.

honestly i want to hear more good news from xmr community regarding their wallet, as i too once xmr holder and convert all of them when i realize xmr dev seem ignoring investors call for improvement.

I guess you are not aware of the active project underway, funded by the community, to complete development of a brand new GUI wallet. If you were I doubt you would characterize that as 'call for improvement' being ignored.

However, since the plans for my project include many sub-projects, it is possible to imagine that those aspects which are pure open source, could possibly be fit to smooth's ostensibly preferred model.

There are other issues as well, such as the very high level of remuneration smooth normally receives, but this is also flexible I think depending on whether the project is purely open source, donation model or not. I think though that smooth is probably quite busy already with his community role for Monero and lead developer for Aeon.

Also there are many talented people and interesting projects for smooth to work with on. There is no super strong reason he should choose to work with me on my projects. I haven't shown much coding yet. "Talk is cheap, show me the code" said Linus Torvalds. And I had been chronically ill for 4 years (and slightly ill for 7 - 10 years), so that is another risk (although I indicated I am hopefully making strides with the Oregano oil).

So actually I find the presumption or implication of the question to be a bit embarrassing for myself.

Edit: the anonymity of smooth is a hindrance to doing crowdfunding and Seedr IPO. Investors can't evaluate an anonymous lead developer.
