I'm not sure why you guys are harping on this guy so much, he is offering his services for $10,000 for a whole year.
that is barely more than hiring someone from a Philippino sweat shop.
from my point of view, it's a very safe offer.
1) BTC is worth $10,000. so you buy a BTC for $10,000 and release 0.02 a week. Your total costs are $10,000 for the year, they don't go up with the value of the BTC.
2) Don't have the money to hold 1 coin? borrow it, the interest would be $500 for the year, so now your total risk is $10,500
3) you keep commenting that this is a lot of money? where do you get your designers, you keep saying $10,000 is a lot, what is the median household income where you are from. I have 3 full time designers, I'm not sure any of them would get out of bed for $10,000
4) you write a contract, and if this guy does not perform, i.e. breaches the contract, you cancel it.
personally, I would not hire someone who asked for so little, not the other way around. People can ask for the world, doesn't mean they are going to get it, but when someone asks for 1 fifth the going rate, I am going to have to assume that something fishy is going on, my general bet would be that performance would be on the 5 hours a week range and the same offer is getting sold to 6 other people.
don't know the poster, so my comments are in general, but the guy is asking for like $5 an hour and getting jumped on for shooting for the stars, I don't get it
