there aren't many willing to help... most discords for coins say "we don't have the resources to help you, you're on your own" and any developer I have approached has responded with ".5BTC and i'll do it all for you"
I have some decent coding chops, and just a few simple questions - mostly along the lines of " in BTC's core, I would change line XXX to change MAX_MONEY, what is it called or where is it in the PIVX core". It's more typing to say " we don't have the resources" than typing "main.cpp line 455", which leads me to believe that most of the folks staffing coin's discords don't have a clue.
in my case, I can figure 99% of it, but 3-4 questions remain unanswered, and I don't have a problem paying someone to assist, but i want my hands in the game, not just write a check and get a fully functional thing that I know little about... building something is the best way to learn about something.
and they call themselves "communities".
