at the end of the day you need to validate that the person is going to be able to write this code and that you are going to follow through with payment. Either way it opens up one party to risk. A developer risks putting in the work without payment and the financial backer risks non completion after they pay. For instance, I wouldn't mind writing that extension for you for a hundred or so but I also wouldn't want to do the work before getting paid.

Preauthorize the card or use whatever strategies that Kickstarter uses. Wouldn't be a problem for $10 payments in the same way it would be for freelance contracts.

Version 2.0 would hook payment up to a successful pass of the test hook!
