Cheers!

This looks like an incredible position. Too bad you don't need a data scientist! :)

May I ask if which time zones you prefer? I was going to ping you via e-mail but this could help other potential applicants too.

Some hours of overlap with GMT/London would be nice, but not necessary... we're fine with any location.

Is it a new cryptocurrency, or a new project based on an existing cryptocurrency?

Good question. We'll build on top of the king (BTC) or queen (ETH). We could start with plain BTC or ETH to speed things ups, and issue an ERC20 (ETH) or RSK-based token (BTC) down the road.

But we're not into the pump and dump thing and we want to be 200% compliant. So we'll have to analyse this move carefully. We're also very open to new ideas and input from the new members.

Have you considered using Tendermint? We just published the results of a few months of Jepsen testing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15175984

Wow, that's a super high salary for a startup. Are you also giving some equity?

Not exactly, but you can choose to be paid partly/fully in bitcoin, which is the best performing "stock" in 6 of the past 7 years (and could potentially keep performing as the number one for some years).

the underlying mechanisms of that performance are hardly known and controllable, or even predictable, so that's nothing less but suggesting to play a lottery with your earnings.

reading this I'm happy the OP didn't say they would pay the salary in the new crypto currency they were tasking you to create :)

Sent an email, no reply yet, I guess you're flooded with applications.
