Okidoke. Then there should be no issue making the case.
What reasons are there to expect SHLD will deliver at this point.
The dev has laid out a plan (whitepaper) which looks good to my non-expert eyes.
They has kept updating on a daily bases.
They has several features to implement that have potential.
It has been implied that RetroShare is on-board (who already operate an implementation of some of what was in the white paper)
The statements by the dev match with what Retroshare already do
There has been no undue hyping of the coin by the dev
No premine, No IPO and No instamine = A lot of work for the dev if a simple p&d was desired.
There is a team working on it and not just one person.
Coding takes time, Testing takes longer (I'm not in for the quick profit).
There is of course no way that I can tell if this coin will succeed or not. If I was gifted with such an ability I would be on a beach somewhere sipping a cocktail as the sun descends behind the horizon instead of in this forum
.
These are the reasons that I have chosen this project to back and while it is not the only one I am backing (I am backing 2 others) it has been the most expensive and holds the best prospect of a good return in the mid-term.
