So you are looking for an idiot ...

> I am looking partner on profit sharing basis,

.... willing to work for free? And when someone cooks the books there
will never nominally be a profit?

If you need a programmer hire on and pay him, instead of making
unspecified promises of profit sharing.

Well, that would pretty much define "idiot," wouldn't it?

And he doesn't even really sell the idea well.

"Hey, I'll come up with an idea.. you spend the next 18 months
implementing it, and then I'll share the money with you... I promise."

If you mean "An idiot willing to work for free" is an idiot, you are, by
definition, correct.

If you mean "A person willing to work for free" is an idiot, I disagree.
I would call such a person an enthusiast. If he or she starves while
working for free, that's of course a whole different story.

We're in the narrow context of working for the OP on a commercial project for
free, as I read the comment. The characterization could be made more accurate
with an editorial interjection: one who is "... willing to work [for the OP]
for free ..." exemplifies (not defines) an idiot.

I had the same thought about the general case. Are open-source project
contributors idiots? Of course not (in general). Would someone working for
the OP be an idiot? In the sense of performing a thankless task for a con
artist without recompense, thus perpetrating and expanding the con, presumably.
