To add to the theories...


I believe the tech is ready but there are legal hurdles to this project that are being confronted. And this could take months or years, or may prove insurmountable. Shadowcash, which this wallet's code is based on, rebranded and refocused their target market for this reason.

Bittorrent = legal
Bitcoin = legal
ZCash = legal

I'm struggling with the legal hurdles you are trying to say need to be confronted.

There is even some VHS case in America that makes Bittorrent legal.

IF the devs wish to monetise this project, ala Particl, they'll need to thoroughly investigate and prepare for the legal consequences of users sharing copyright material. The entertainment industrial complex has way more money and lawyers.
Not totally sure, but taking into account that this is only an open code app, what are going to be the charges? Programming?? As with emule link pages and users could be prosecuted, but I see very difficult in the case of the programmers. It's only code with legit uses.
