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.

I charge $80/hr and I'm in Ohio. Consulting agencies typically charge $140-$180 per dev hour here.

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.

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?

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.
