i think BM and his men have been fully focused on the development of BTS X.
And i just think the first priority for the other staff (who cannot programme ) should be concentrated on finding many IT talents to join 3I.
i think at first, we do not lack of moeny right now (due to AGS), second, we have so many projects to be finished, music lotto, keyhotee etc.
I think we do not have enough people for programming right now, and i think 3I does not put their biggest effort into this issue. ( you might do something on this issue but not enough )
i don't know if i am right, this is just my opinon and advice based on my experience: i am once in charge of a team of nearly 100 people.
at last, best wishes to you all.
I also think III should spend more on programing , maybe III can spend fund on what he want to ,but I think a lot of people donate money to AGS just for developing , at least it was for me .
but BTS XT is the basic for other DACs, so I think it is right that all developer are developing BTS XT now
About 70% of our resources are earmarked for development with 10% for general operations and 10% each for eastern and western marketing.
We are targeting spending to track growth in such a way that we can ensure that all our talent has secure employment horizon of at least 1 year. This is essential for attracting and retaining good people.
However, with all the DACs that should launch this summer, we expect to be able to ramp up our development rate roughly proportional to growth rate of the industry.
And once the independent BitShares Battalion of Delegates start sponsoring developers and doing promotions with their earnings, things should really get interesting!
Talking about 10% ags fund for china operation. Look at the excel document, it is full of cost for taxi, coffee, gas.......living expense.
Look the official Weibo (weibo is the most important social media in China)account for bishares
http://www.weibo.com/officialbitshares . there is 2 posts every month. All the work now is doing by volunteers like 比特股之家,bitshares_news, logxing, coolspeed. They translate and update the beta test. I am mean the software delay is ok, but if no official post and comforting to community, people is leaving. Even if bitshares is gold, no one cares. When the bts release, no good market, even early supporters dislike it.
Shen Bo is showing in pictures when there is eating, drinking or traveling in BTC community in China, but what else? you should do some simple research about this, and strength the communication/ reduce the softeare delay damage. I can tell the damage can be controlled, but lack of actions. All my friends laughing at me for supporting PTS. You need some auditor for china operation also!
