Can you share the shortlist of coins?
If he should share this, it then mean that he has disclose the particular coin because by the time elimination started applying on the coins listed, it won't be long before someone finds out which coin they are planning to develop and it simply means creation wealth for someone else. @Op you need to also be careful in disclosing to all of the intending developers because some people would indicate their interest in other to get the information then act on it to rip off the market because based on the little information you have disclosed the getting hands on the particular coin before being made public is nothing short of Inside Information.
Thank you audaciousbeing I really appreciate it, you hit the nail on the head. I remember when Kitteh-Lynx was forked people not holding Kitteh jumped on it and bought plenty in advance. No doubt same for other crypto forks and upgrades.
As soon as we decide which dev we will work with we will start the project and keep it under wraps until everything is ready to go. We will have to trust a dev and partially pay upfront so we have to be sure we ge the right person to work with us.
