I bet this is common among the better devs in this community. Ones that are doing it for their enjoyment or their beliefs first. Not for profit, or as some get rich quick scheme.

Interesting that you say that. My opinion of Shadow is that it's either complete bullshit made up by the whales, or they do actually have some hidden genius(supposedly you) who's capable of developing the tech that they're claiming. Reading your post makes me think it's possible they're not full of shit. I'll be interested to see how it all turns out.
