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.

Thanks for your response and I speak on behalf of the whole Bitshares software development team when I say we appreciate your advice. I and many of the BitShares team members are managing the growth of this software development team closely. We can't grow too large, too quickly, and we could not produce the software we aim to release this summer without the team we have now.

Every software developer/engineer we have is very talented and well trained. Some have 15 or 20+ years experience, advanced degrees, some have turned down Google to be here in Blacksburg with us, and have degrees from the best computer science schools in the world. Later today we have Vikram joining us who recently received his masters in computer science from the US 2014 ranked-No. 1 computer science graduate school in the nation, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where he decided against pursuing a PhD to instead become a practitioner outside academia and hit the ground running with Bitshares. Vikram has already contributed much to our BitShares Toolkit in Github and is very happy with the work he's already volunteered. I couldn't be more pleased with his voluntary contributions and his motivation to date. Since Vikram emailed me months ago inquiring if we were hiring, he took it upon himself to find Nikolai at CMU where they both resided at the time, and began coding with Nikolai and getting involved before I could even respond. This initiative gets you noticed.

My ideal candidate for hire for the Bitshares software development team is someone who has followed our work for sometime and knows the domain/what we are doing, has forked our code from Github, and made positive contributions to our codebase. Maybe he or she has posted in the forums (reddit, bitsharestalk.org, bitcointalk.org, etc) and done a good job of promoting Bitshares to others who don't understand it yet. Hey, blockchains are hard to program! If it were easy it would done cheaper and lot quicker.

It makes it a very easy decision for me and the Bitshares core leadership to pull the trigger on a hiring decision when we have someone like Nikolai (toast), Nathan, and Vikram practically knocking on Bytemaster's door in Virginia to get involved in the action. We actively look for people like this and when I start noticing them I start talking with Daniel Larimer almost immediately. My radar is always up for talent and passion applied by developers.

Considering swings in price of all crypto, we must be vigilant in making wise hiring decisions. I assure you we will seek to acquire new talent and retain the developers who've already joined us full time or part time. What we don't want is to hire too many developers and dilute the efforts of the team we have now, by bogging them down with too many hours training/assisting new devs. The Summer of Code has officially begun and  we will manage the software development funds to empower a lean, potent software development team and run a successful company beyond this summer into next year. Thank you again for your feedback.

We always welcome any and all who experience an issue with Invictus Innovations software, whether related or not to the February 28th, 2014 BitShares X Snapshot, to search for answers and/or post a question on our Technical Support forum:https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?board=45.0. The BitSharesTalk.org technical support forum is always the fastest way to get the technical support information you need since Invictus team members frequently sort through hundreds or thousands of emails every week and can't always respond as quickly as we would like. The BitShares community rely greatly on the helpfulness of the forum users and the trust they've rightfully earned by answering questions and contributing so greatly to technical support. Our forum contributors and moderators have figured out answers to most of the questions you could ask about using our software through an unknown measure of hands-on experience installing, configuring, and using it for themselves. In our technical support forum you will directly find the answer you need or valuable input from a growing community of traders, miners, savers, and enthusiasts armed with conviction and the spirit of helpfulness. We all have a stake in growing this community and our conviction includes the desire to help you if you find yourself needing some technical assistance. We know what it's like to be new around here, and we know that getting you back on track is the easiest way keep you involved and happy while growing the new decentralized, digital economy.

Keep in mind that exchanges such as Bter and BTC38 are third parties constantly working to resolve issues and you should make them aware by contacting them if your problem relates to them and you think they are not already aware of your issue. BTER has released the following statement regarding The BitShares X Snapshot: http://bter.com/article/177. I assure you the exchanges are working hard to maintain the integrity of their services so if you see a common problem reported to one of the exchanges, consider that multiple emails for the same issue will only increase their backlog of "technical issues" to respond to and it may not get you a quicker resolution. Remember we are all in this together, so let's help one another. Pay a visit to our support forum and introduce yourself. We would love to have you.

To our beloved forum users/contributors: I encourage "all hands on deck" at this time to respond to the questions of veteran users as well as newcomers who may have just recently heard of BitShares, AngelShares (AGS), and BitShares PTS (formerly called ProtoShares), and are a lacking sufficient knowledge or know-how to navigate of the events of the next few weeks. People new to our forums deserve enough credit alone for being interested in the mission and vision of BitShares and should be commended for coming out and supporting the future decentralized economy that we all want to have a part in. We need them as much as they need you to build the new decentralized economy.

Above all things, keep calm and #BitShareON...
