Again, Togo, you've been awesome so I'm not trying to run you down. I more or less just didn't grasp the Bloom proposal to it's fullest.
In the future, can we perhaps open the thread, discuss it for let's say five days and then put it up for vote? I realize that may not always be practical, but that way if person "A" is thinking their work is worth $20/hr, and "B" thinks it's $15, it can be debated before submitting?

I dont take it that way at all west, its good feedback! and good discussion! I hope I dont come off in any bad way, I like discussing
===
I raised my hourly rate based on the only money feedback I got from webster saying that my Sanctuary Guide was worth 3x more.
As a software developer in real life I make $30+/hour.
(I get paid quite a bit lower than what Im potentially worth as a dev,
but I traded pay for a smaller more laid back company and getting my own office
)Only after the fact of submitting all my proposals I finally looked up rates,
I found that technical writers get paid $20-25/hr bottom 10-25% https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes273042.htm
and that public relation specialists get paid $15-20/hr bottom 10-25% https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes273031.htm
So in the future I will try to reference data like this.

On the BLOOM PR proposal, its a potential double win,
April the Director of BLOOM (Be Loved! Orphan Outreach Missions) is comfortable with cryptocurrency,
so not only does BLOOM meet our 75% charity efficiency requirements, and is a christian nonprofit,
their director seems to be okay with being paid in BiblePay coins and submitting proposals herself.
Right now Rob handles all the Compassion stuff himself, I dont think anyone at Compassion knows about cryptocurrencies.
April and her team could pick up and do that same work that Rob currently does for Compassion.
But that's just win number one, win number two is that April has worked in PR firms
and has actually done PR for the cryptocurrency Factom 2 years ago and got them into Fortune, etc.
So this was also building a relationship with a PR person since we have no PR person yet.
I had some anxiety the whole time before meeting up with her,
Im your typical introverted/nerdy in the corner software developer who is a homebody hahaha,
so this was out of my comfort zone, and I had to represent us and sell BiblePay and answer lots of questions like Who is Rob? LOL
Ive emailed back with her a few more times after the fact explaining things and giving her more info,
Shes read the current proposals and I hope she submits a proposal because we could really use some PR
(I believe she will be submitting one, but we shall see).
There is still 600k BBP in our PR budget.

I dont want to speak too much for April or for BLOOM,
but I know I left out some details in the proposal that might help you understand the potential value here.
