Hi @billbutler - all good, we can disagree. You've done a great job, I voted for your first WP, and I've voted for your renewed WP. My comment started based specifically around your line about "An expanded budget to fund real UX talent"
I also posted a follow-up response at:

That being said, if you can build that into your budget then great. I just think a true design effort should come at it with a fresh perspective and not simply be confined by the current iteration, and I'd imagine most designers would want to deploy their creative talents.
Either way you've got my vote.... I'd just like to see Bitshares design get a facelift (again, not really talking about the Exchange tab itself).
