The rates are believable, but this seems somewhat different from what the thread is about - compensation in tokens rather than equity. I suspect many an engineer who's OK with crypto work in general will balk at this arrangement.

EDIT: I reread the original comment. It technically makes sense, but still I think answers a different question than the one posed about the compensation model.

That might very well be true! But I didn't have hard numbers on that, and I did have hard numbers on crypto-industry-openness.

Is equity in crypto any better than the crypto?
