I received a reply. They said I could start pushing to fix issues in the issues section. I don't do open source and already have a code base for a final product.
I'm going to let Bitcoin ride and step in with a new git if need be.
The problem now is cash. This fundraise has to be successful. It's the only legitimate offering out right now.
I guess its legitimacy will be discovered in the success of the fundraiser.
Maybe you
could do open source in your down time to hone your skills and give your CV a boost at the same time.
