I don't think that development of ZCL is expensive, as i heard ZCL is the fork of ZEC as ZEC team is going to improve their project ZCL is going to implement these changes as well for ZCL.
The only thing that ZCL team is really need to do is marketing and spreading the word, requesting ZCL to be added to new wallets, exchanges etc..
ZCL team , would consist of devs and community..so
i think we can do alot of these things ourselves ...just need to put in a bit of time and effort..regularly
while the devs can concentrate on code and tech stuff
marketing ...any ideas?
spreading the word...ive being doing this here, need more bitcointalk/reddit/twitter and less slack imo
requesting ZCL to be added to new wallets...lets get some links up and contact them
exchanges....we already got a few, trex being the top 1, could do requests to other exchanges
any one is welcome to take part,
join the devs
join the community
ZCL is very cheap, so no excuses if you miss this...only together we can make this grow

Did you hold till December 2017?
