I will do 5 hours of web programming for you, for 1 bitcoin.

The title says it all, I will do 5 hours of web programming for you, in exchange for 1 bitcoin. My email address is in my profile.

I have experience in .NET, Java, PHP and Python. I'm also experienced in the Joomla! CMS and the web2py framework.

Email me about your projects, and we'll sort out the details! Thanks.

At $300/coin, that's the equivalent of $60/hour.

I don't think even normal contractors are that expensive.

$60 an hour is not particularly expensive for a good contract programmer. Salaried, that would equate to a very good rate, but nothing extraordinary.

You're from the Bay Area and you think $60/hr is expensive? I charge the least out of contracting friends, and I charge a non-trivial amount more than that. I also don't live in or around San Francisco.

[greendata]

what! That's very cheap

So... what makes this stand out enough to be posted on Hacker news? You want to do X amount of programming work and get paid in Bitcoin. Big deal.

And what is 5 hours, really? I may be able to do in 1/2 hour what it takes you to do in 8. Or vice-versa.

Let me guess... you have 5h free today and you want to get into bitcoin. Am I right?

[cunninghamd]

Actually, I have many hours free, every evening and/or weekend... AND I want to get into bitcoin. :)

It's actually a modest goal: I want at least 1 bitcoin, and I want to sit on it, and watch it fluxuate with the market, or do whatever it will do.
