It's a shame the ShadowCash merger came out, but I'm going to go ahead and call it off completely. If we got approval from the ShadowCash team, the plan was to bring this to the community. I was never intending to act unilaterally to merge the two coins.  However, it appears that a majority of the community is against this idea, so we'll find other ways to acquire talent. Thanks for your input everyone. 

Good call. There is no reason why you won't be able to find devs. The fact that this was leaked before you could even negotiate it says a lot anyway. I'm glad it's off.
The reason is the lack of incentive. We don't have the funds yet to pay for developers, so we can't expect them to work for free. It is more profitable for them to just create a coin and be there from the beginning. If it goes well the reward will be much bigger for them. We'll be opening the foundation for memberships and donations in a few days. If people are generous we can solve many things, but the donation model brings the free rider problem, so we'll see Smiley

Anyway, all ideas on how to recruit developers are welcomed!
