I’m always curious are these bounties in line with the hourly salary of a developer. The average salary is $48 an hr. So the last bounty someone can complete it in 37.5 hours. Seems like these tasks take longer than a weeks worth or development
reply
Each bounty on the site includes an estimated time to completion. Many are quoted as only a few hours of work, some are a few days.

The best and most motivated talent who might accomplish this for this may not be in an area where "the average salary is $48 an hr."

Yea that’s what I mean if you want a bounty put real capital behind it! NYDig putting out crumbs that anyone with real skills won’t tackle
reply
anyone with real skills won’t tackle
I am of the opinion that these bounties offered, globally, will result in sufficient talent to be found, and successful completion of the work, at the amounts offered.
