I think self-regulating organizations should act within certain legal framework (almost any country have specific frameworks on that account). However what I don't understand is how this organization can actually influence worldwide policy and regulators attitude?

If your presentation is aimed to demonsrate real world use cases - you are probably screwed. The reality is pretty harsh. There is NOTHING you can offer to the bankers because the only working use-case is money that don't require banks.  There are no problem in banking that block chain can solve without also removing banks from their core business.

However if your speech is onto tech - there are lots and lots of positive things you can speak about. First time in history Bitcoin allows real transfer if digital value, not merely copying it. That's alot!

Because exchange core called core for a reason. You can't let someone who you can't reach to code most critical part of your whole business. The core is the only thing that have direct access to your user ballance sheet, the subsystem that finalizes trades. You really want to keep the person in charge of core as close to you as you possibly can and ideally have at least 2 people working on it. Make no mistake - amateur can't do code review behind those people, and if they smart enough to build a core, they are smart enough to come back in a year and drain your wallets empty.

I have both day job and learning programming for iOS on Swift.

Great way to get two things:

• Loads of shitfollowers that don't use twitter for other thing then to shill their twits
  
• Get banned by Twitter

It seems they are about to be surprised

Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against headhunting here - it's great idea, but they should put wage and most important skill in big bold letters. If I was looking for CTO I would do it like this:


That would have catched my eye.

I can tell you what it is outright.

Ruby is known easy-to learn but powerful backend language. Vue is known easy-to learn but promising front-end JS framework. This tells us this is web service with some logic. Since you seeing this message here you can guess it is something to do with blockchains. Since blockchains are not very often implemented in Ruby, I would assume ruby is queuing Bitcoin core/geth to receive/log/process transactions. Add user database (my wild guess would be they used Postgress) and viola - you got yourself an amateur synchronous exchange that can serve 10-15 users before it halts under excessive load. It is possible to made industry grade service using ruby (bitfinex use Ruby after all) but the fact OP mentions his parthner strongly hints that this project was done by only two people in their spare time and creating something robust and capable in handling real life loads requires much more effort and dedication. Another problem for this is marketing since competing with giants require truckload of funds.

Buying this for even 1$ will require you to invest another 2000$-3000$ monthly at best and the risk you will eventually learn code's architecture is flawed at it's core is high, so just assessing it's code will cost you 6000$-10000$ in professional code review costs.


Now why I think those two are amateurs?
In civilized world, when team of devs selling something like that they invest SHITLOADS of effort to describe every little detail about their product and trying their best to prove potential buyers their code is not a shitcode. They don't play hide and seek, they simply post their project on github and let anyone to assert their work, because frankly speaking nobody really want to steal more or less complicated project.

And in ideal world after deal is done they don't jsut walk away - they sign investment contract and keep working, leaving management part to the grown ups.

Dev, Are there any real game devs who is interested in your platform?

What strong parthners? I don't see any particularly strong here.

I would strongly suggest you to also look for a good lawyer or two.

It's hilarious how you don't look for someone who will do the actual work as if you care only about getting money

All those apps that simply shows price fetched from coinmarketcap are nice for just one purpose - it's great project to put in your coding portfolio and to learn to code. Unless you are fetching prices from numerous exchanges, aggregate them, quantize, filter and deliver in user-friendly manner your app's customer value would not be exceeding coinmarketcap by definition. In short - I don't think another trivial portfolio watching app is something this market really needs, especially if it only works and totally depends on 3d party website that can change their API tomorrow and you screwed.

What JS frameworks you familiar with?
What Python frameworks you familiar with?

please provide links to your github and working projects.

I love how those openings lists super serious requirements but rarely states how much much it pays. You realize that professional with the skills you listed will not ask you for less then 100 000$/year ? I mean you are offering 5 step interview - that is some google level stuff. I hired many devs in my time and learned - to hunt a professional I need to tell him what he gets clearly and maybe even before telling him what I ask for.

This is a joke, right?

Please specify what you are looking for? C++? Ruby? Python? JS?

You would be surprised but the best is your local headhunting website.
You need a team that specializes not on block chain but have real world production experience. It does not matter if they never worked in crypto or not familiar with it - it does not matter. Good developer can pick it up in a matter of weeks.

That, of course, if you have budget.

This is exactly the job you don't want to outsource.

I don't think anyone will consider your proposal unless you provide much more detail on what it does. I work for company that can shit out 6-7 figures without blinking an eye, but you really have to have something unique. There is no point to hide what you selling, because it's obvious you don't know the right people to do it without going public with your offer.

It may sound strange but you probably want to elliminate language barrier for English speaking people as well. What I mean is your website would be even cooler if you made it easy access point for international projects to venture into Arabic market. For example If i wanted to create some service I would be eager to reach your audience easily.
