Hybrid V3 Progress:
I've now hired the new developer. The financial incentive for the deadline to be met is very strong. Basically they receive double the payment if everything is complete and ready for actual use ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE. If there is a sure way to be assured of rapid progress, this is it. Perhaps I should have done this earlier. Nevertheless it is done now.
There is incentive to finish BEFORE the due date, so considering everything, the Hybrid V3 should be ready for actual use in 2-4 weeks.
X-ray / Card-Reader
This is regarding the technology to see through cards (ie blackjack). I recently invested $10,000 proceed with further development. It is going to cost more than I initially thought, but we know for a fact it can be achieved because it already has been achieved. But further development is needed. With one of the adaptations of the technology, it can take 30+ seconds to get a clear enough image of the card. This time needs to be shortened because cards are moved in less than 30 seconds.
Also it is not "x-ray vision" as such, but we call it that as it's a simple analogy. At this stage I cannot state a release date. Over the past few days with the testing and development of JAA and working with the V3 programmers while trying to keep up with emails and paperwork, I need a mini vacation. Nevertheless I'll be up to date on emails etc by the end of tomorrow.
