My proposal is a short term, to cover 4 mths worth of work. Yes it's technicality "asking" for 500hbd/day (for 60days) but that is due to it being for work already completed as well.

It represents 120+ days in a 60 day "pay window" so while the "daily" is for more, I am not asking to be paid 500hbd a day for the days I worked, it's just what the pay window is set up as. It’s closer to 200hbd a day when you look at it with actual time covered.

The other proposals are for longer time periods, as in the core development at 275hbd a day for 365 days.

Mine is a shorter term, simply contract work and not a full time salary.

The displays I think can be confusing, but I'm not "asking for more" than the devs, which many seem to be misunderstanding.

Also, there is nothing saying the proposal has to be funded and it’s very common for proposals to be partially funded as well.

Edit:
Seeing the questions added. It’s impossible to not consider the total amount as quite frankly that matters. Someone asking for 100hbd/day for 365 days of payment for the same amount of work may “look” like less, but it’s not. The daily amount and the duration of payment should be considered.

As far as work - my proposal states it’s for past and future work. I’m committing to working another 2 months at the same level of time as now and outlined my goals - get the big exchanges and help turn many aspects over to the community somehow.
