Re: [ANN][Main] Bitcore- BTX - Partnership with JAXX and ZelCore!
What, they only have one dev? That sucks! Im seeing $.10 if thats the case.
I see 7 on GitHub, with varying degrees of activity. 2 or 3 main ones.

If this is true then there are a lot of misinformation about the project. It's a great difference between 1 and 7 active developers!!!
the active developers are what i mean by the "main ones." so i see 2 or 3. the reason for the "or" is that there are a number of sub-projects under LIMXTEC which all support the Bitcore ecosystem (for example the bitcore-lib-btx mentioned above is a sub-project), and each contributor to those subprojects can have their own bitcore related subprojects in the works which have not yet been added to the list of LIMXTEC subprojects. I went ahead and further analyzed this, without going into each contributor's subprojects, so the below doesn't reflect any work done which has not yet been merged or accepted into the deployed code.
the main project (i.e. the "core" project) that I see is this one :
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitCore/graphs/contributors
the subprojects that I see are these (note the contributors listed are those from the project that these subprojects forked from, so only bitcore developers which contributed to the main branch are relevant) :
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/Bitcore-BTX-RPC-Installer/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/awesome-bitcore-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-lib-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BTX-Paperwallet/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-node-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/Bitcore-BTX-Media-Gallery/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BTXinsight-docker/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/insight-ui-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/insight-api-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-build-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-message-btx/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/electrum-bitcore/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-seeder/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/btx-convert/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcore-wallet/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitcorej/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/PAPERWALLET/graphs/contributors
there are other subprojects under LIMXTEC which have titles that lead me to believe are unrelated to bitcore, so I have ignored those.
the main bitcore-specific contributors I see across the project and all of these subprojects are (in no particular order) :
dArkjON ( https://github.com/dArkjON ) - 339 commits over the past year. this is "Jon"
dalijolijo ( https://github.com/dalijolijo ) - 1,386 commits over the past year. this is "David"
TheTrunk ( https://github.com/TheTrunk ) - 624 commits over the past year.
joshafest ( https://github.com/joshafest ) - 60 commits over the past year.
so it looks to me like there are 4 active developers on the project, at the current time. This is open source so new people could add themselves and others could fade away, so the number of active developers at any one time is not set in stone.
Also note Bitcore has external devs, working in 3rd party companies but in direct conunction of BTX.
thanks
I should note however that the number of commits for each of the 4 developers over the past year above is that reported on their GitHub page, which means it includes all GitHub projects that they work on, not just the bitcore related ones. To accurately determine the number of commits directly related to bitcore (and have been accepted and deployed into the main trunk of each subproject), I would need to go to each subproject and individually count the values there, sum them across the projects, and then determine which are the top contributors (I could have a cutoff of say 50 commits).do you know if there is a way to detect the number of external devs in 3rd party companies? i'm also ignoring the people above who regularly contribute graphics instead of code (such as yourself, and carlos). do you guys save graphics in separate GitHub repositories or keep them private ?
