You're doing a very good job here bro and I really appreciate your tenacity in developing this platform.
I personally believe there are more than enough people here on Steemit who could do that, maybe the price tag was low for them. Trust me on this, I've seen many developers in here.
One other issue is that many haven't yet come up to the blockchain level of coding, I think k that's one other thing we have to deal with with.
