Of course Bytemaster...Xeroc do you? MethodX? I see a lot of talk around here, but would like to know who is doing actual work.

Thanks :)

The developers who are the most present on this forum are of course BM, but also Toast (Nikolai Mushegian), as well as Hackfisher. Vikram also posts here, and Dan Notestein (dnotestein). Toast and Hackfisher have been contributing to the core toolkit but I believe they've moved on to their respectice DACs now that the major BTSX push is over.

You can always check the github to see the list of contributers, there are more developers that we don't see much of on the forums such as Nathan Hourt for example..

I found these score cards quite interesting:

https://osrc.dfm.io/vikramrajkumar/
https://osrc.dfm.io/nmushegian/
https://osrc.dfm.io/hackfisher/

If you want to be thorough:

I am not a coder (although I wish I was) .. currently a volunteer and that probably will stay that way ..
no official connections to bitshares.org, DSL, or I3 ..

Bitsapphire are working on a nice alternative wallet for BTSX I think. They are also involved in Bitshares Music.

I'm a coder with old experience. I'm not coding on this project, I still feel like I'm not up to speed entirely. No association with I3 or any other effort here, I'm just an investor at this point.

I haven't seriously coded in over 5 years, but coding is kindof in my blood so I use it for miscellaneous things. I know C but not C++; I know Java but not C++; I know Javascript but not C++; I know numerous scripting languages but not C++. Oh wait, did I mention I don't know C++?

I've put in half hearted attempts at learning C++ in years past but it never really clicked with me. Funny, b/c Java did click with me tho I'm only an intermediate in skill with that. If I were in a place that required C++ coders more than the skills I already had, such as UI coding, there might have been a slot open and an opportunity be on a C++ coding team where I could focus on C++ more actively. That's exactly how I picked up Java, but even then I was sucked into doing UI work b/c nobody was as familiar with javascript as I was. Javascript is one of my favorite languages actually. I prefer scripting over compiled for the immediate gratification, but all languages have their purpose, and have their strengths and weaknesses.

Sorry for the long winded response.
