25€? No. Maybe 5-10€ depending on how complex is the question and of course depending on the programming language. Of course the response time is essential, let's say within 1 hour( I could use a break and come back late with a solution). Maybe a subscription model or even credits is fine by me. The answer would be fiddle or written solution( there's your pricing model). Also I would like 2 independent answers like others said( with extra € ) Stack overflow is a good place but sometimes it takes too long( there is bounty of course you can't 'buy' more rep). Choosing who will answer it is also an option( maybe from which country, for various reasons) Nice idea, give it a go!

Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas, I truly appreciate it!

You raise a lot of good points. One of my main concerns is the pricing model: 5-10€ would be quiet appropriate for small questions that take a few minutes to answer, but is too low for more complex questions that require research. On top of that, it also matters where the person answering the questions comes from since rates vary from country to country. I do not want this to become a place like, for example, Upwork where things tend to be a race to the bottom and you have people answering complex questions for 50 cents. What did you mean with "there's your pricing model"?

Sorry, I meant pricing options. I the user wants fiddler then he could pay more. A writing explaination of the answer could be cheaper.
I understand, thanks for the clarification! Certainly something to consider...
