Why put down a fair post with useless comments on a "hunch that he offers 5% or less"?

Because he already stated that the co-founder gets no salary. He never mentioned the actual percentage, so it's a fair assumption.

Read OP: "But I 100% understand the value of a tech co-founder, and am not looking to be stingy with equity. I know I can't make it succeed on my own."

Not mentioning exact equity, how do you assume 5%!?!?

It is very common for cofounders at an early-stage startup to take no salary.
