Not sure where you got 80 people, but no that’s not factual.

Its regarding the fork. Not exchanges. Thats the number going around.

If you think just tweeting would have done the same thing, ok. Odd that thats just not the common practice then.

No, i do not think that, nor did i say it anywhere. Not to diminish your contribution, without the twitter backlash and the community effort your work would be for nothing.

The proposal reflects a wage of about $40/hr

None of anything youre saying is verifiable. Its not even measurable. I even question value you put at $40. What is your work background or experience to put that $ value on your work?

You could say anything you want in the proposal and expect everyone to trust you. What youre actually doing is trying to bank on your friends, be that devs, witnesses, investors that did the work with you as well.

You even say yourself that you werent alone in anything you did but still are asking for 30k?

I’m just saying it’s a skilled job and therefore is reflected in the rate.

How are we going to determine your skill at that job? Do you have a MBA in marketing? Who do you report to? How do we verify what youre saying? If we know it was a team effort, then the results themselves are a team effort. Why do YOU get payed for it?
Running the telegram chat, being a moderator, id vote you for that, sure. Folks should get something for moderating.

But I’m not claiming work I did not do or attempting to take advantage, so I will counter those aspects of your argument.

I do not agree that what you did is reflected fairly by this amount. You were a small part in achieving the results we did, yet youre the only one getting payed for it. Even those things you listed, you didnt do yourself nor do i think you have any way of giving us the correct estimate as to how much hours you spent on this. Thats your "guestimate" that we need to trust. Maybe it was 100 hours, maybe it was 400.

Lower the amount.
