One recommendation, you need to pitch what you bring to the table and you need to pitch it hard. Your first paragraph should be why a technical person should join up.
You have to realize that these kind of posts instantly read like hey stop working on your idea that you get 100% equity in and work on my idea, what idea, well I cant tell you that until you sign an NDA. They then go on to list a set of demands that you want from the candidate. It leaves the potential candidate with the impression that you really don't understand what you are asking for and that you see them as a necessary evil to get the thing built. A good way to look at a technical person in this situation is to think of them as the product, because they are the product. Are you excited about the product, what would you do to get the product in your hand today, how would you do it, those are the thing you should be doing to attract this person.
If it where me, I would lay out the idea, what I bring to the table and how I have done X amount of leg work so far to get it off the ground.
I am sorry if I sound harsh but seeing how these posts are viewed may help you to better formulate a message that will reach the potential candidate you are looking for.
