And im not just talking about replacing what already exists, but adding things like msg mgmt, order status lists (like utorrent lists torrents), better search rules (price/geography/sellerstatus), integration with gpg, etc... Think of it this way, if you create something that becomes far better than SR is, then people will migrate to it and DPR will only have to work on developing backend features. To be totally serious, that would require approximately 1-4 weeks of full-time work. Let's not get specific, but it's obvious from the rest of my posts that I'm in the USA. The fact that I do something related to programming can be assumed from the fact that I've written a program. So that's not exactly leaking any info about me. Let's take the average pay for a mid-level programmer in America as the basis for this. That's about $70k/yr. There's approximately 2000 working hours in a year.So that comes out to the average US programmer being paid $35/hr. Projects never go as well as they're supposed to, and it basically always takes longer. Let's assume a month. 5 * 8 * 40 = 160.160 * 35 = $5,600. If you guys pay me $5,600 dollars and give me a month, yes, I will write you a better Silk Road (that still uses Silk Road and that DPR still gets paid for, so I don't even see why he'd mind).If I see $5,600 go to that donation address, you have my word, I will have it for you in a month ;D
