Great update! I was very curious how much processing power would be required. Sounds like you need an infrastructure guy to worry about all the easy stuff so you can get back to the coding and development. If you have any immediate needs or desires you should outline them. Perhaps donations to fund more development servers? Would you be interested in having help beyond all us pestering you with "let me be a part of the alpha test team so i can make easy money with all your hard work?"
I've actually been asked about donations a few times now. I honestly didn't think there would be anyone willing to donate.. I'll get a donation address set up for those interested and post back here.
Regarding infrastructure - I have found at least part-time help with this recently and it has been a tremendous help. We're actually in talks about the legalities and specifics about retaining him - If we work something out I'll make an announcement.
Regarding other help, there may be a possibility to bring in some limited PHP help just for supporting new exchanges (writing the exchange class files, most of it would be copy and paste)- though to expose even this little bit of the source code to an individual would require some good references and standing in the community.
Another area of help would be someone fluent in the Chineese language (or any foreign language where exchange platforms exist) to help me get accounts set up at these exchanges and do some test trades etc.
Thanks for the great Ideas!
