Of NXT, MSC, Ethereum, Counterparty, I am pretty sure Bitshares is one of the more open ones. Just check out the bitsharestalk.org forum and the githubs for the various projects.  Almost everything they do is out in the open. Even from the beginning Bitshares X was developed in the open.  You can even see where all the money from the angelfund is going here and here.

The main difficulty with spending these funds is hiring talent. It's extremely difficult to hire skilled developers on short notice. They have had some success with attracting talent by releasing a ton of bounties worth around $100 000 total, and even a 5% referral bounty (total of 5000$) for people who manage to recruit people to complete a bounty. But NXT, NEM, MSC, Ethereum, CounterParty, etc. are all trying to scoop up the talent in this area, so it will remain difficult.

Up til now Mastercoin, NXT and Ethereum has gotten alot of the attention, but hopefully the new site and upcoming conference will help inform and attract more people to the Bitshares project as well. Daniel Larimer and his father Stan Larimer have been very vocal about minimizing expenses and creating Distributed Autonomous Companies, but these seemingly far-fetched ideas are only now beginning to show their true power.

Personally I think the future is looking bright for Bitshares, they have a big community in China, and there will be a lot of new people coming into the DAC space. With their focus on profitable DACs it makes sense that Bitshares will become one of the big players.. For now there's still a ton of work to be done, and anyone with the right talent in this environment will be highly compensated for their work.

Unfortunately in our life not all you can purchase using money.

If you look around cryptocurrency community you will see that even you have money you can't do too much because lack of professionals in this area.
My respect to NXT team they real professionals and this is an exception to the rule.

If you join BitShares community at forum you will see daily progress updates: https://bitsharestalk.org

Considering the insane amounts of BTC you raised with AngelShares you should be ashamed for still delaying
the release, you should have waited with the mirror of PTS blockchain until you had enough progress to keep
a timetable.
I do think the investors would rather see the money go the hire developers then to pay for airline tickets and hotel rooms
for Bitcoin conferences, aquariums to your office and whatnot.

 

Okies, cool.

Eventually, everything is still under development, it's all in the open though so you can check on progress

So does that mean I can redeem Bitshares X now from my PTS coins?

That's exactly right. Daniel Larimer, core developer, takes the economic perspective that we want separate chains as required to minimize overhead expenses. The idea is, why should I pay transaction fees sustaining a whole stock exchange if for instance I'm only interested in Bitshares Music or Bitshares Lotto? The aim is always to maximize profit and minimize expenses for the users/shareholders.

Looks very good. Lots of information there tough. So Bitshares is is a opens source platform kind of like Etherum but instead having one block chain to rule them all you have many specialized(finance,games)  block chains ?
