Hi @Ziga, really good answers to the questions above from Hudson, i had similar concerns which you’ve addressed well.
I love the enthusiasm you bring and onboarding new devs to the ecosystem is something we need.
I’ve been reviewing the previous thread to re-familiarize myself with the discussions from back then and I have a couple of questions.
Collaboration:
@aiyadt mentioned reaching out to the Light Client Working Group, via Discord or the regular calls, have you had any interactions with this working group yet?
The Cost:
Originally the staff cost was $288,000 for 4 people for 6 months, or $12,000/person/month, or ~$75/person/hour (assuming 40 hour weeks for 24 weeks).
In this proposal the staff cost is $180,000 for 2 people for 6 months, or $15,000/person/month, or $93.75/person/hour (assuming 40 hour weeks for 24 weeks), which is a 25% increase.
My question, would you consider bringing this down to the original average rate of $75/hour, which would result in a total staff cost of $144,000 for 2 people for 6 months. I personally think that it would be worth taking a chance on at this rate*.
*Obviously I don’t make any decisions here, just voicing my opinion.
