You are intentionally referring to outdated information. In the AmA a month ago, they announced about $200k/month. They confirmed this number in a recent blog post: around $200k-$210k/month

Seems you are right this time and I miscounted the team members, although 19 vs 20 is not a huge difference anyway. Also I count a total of 10 developers on their team page, not 4. So you are saying that the other team members get about nothing? Do you have any proof for that? According to the recent blog post, compensation for team members ranges from $20 to $90 per hour. This range narrows to $50-$90 for the development team. Of course we don't know what exactly Marvin gets, but it seems to be between $50/hour and $90/hour. The team repeatedly said they don't want to publish per-person salaries, so we need to stick with what we got, but saying that Marvin gets more than $90/hour is definitely a lie from your side if any of the numbers provided by the team is true. We can also try to ask Marvin if he is on the upper or lower end of the $50 to $90 spectrum, if that is so important for you, he is always very open for chats on Discord. I can send him a message if you want, or you do it yourself?


Your reference to Wladimir makes no sense, as you don't only count his commits as a bitcoin core dev, but also all kind of other commits.

So, for the sake of the argument, let's restrict his commits only to bitcoin core, by looking at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c You can see that Wladimir actually had 65 commits to bitcoin core within the last year, Marco had the most with 222 commits.
Now doing the same for Nimiq. They have two core implementations (in JS and Rust) in separate repositories, see the commit counts at https://github.com/nimiq-network/core/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c and https://github.com/nimiq/core-rs/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c
You can see that Marvin had 85+31=116 commits to the core repos, Philipp was doing 175+58=233 commits, Pascal 151+149=300 commits. So all of them had more core commits then Wladimir and both Philipp and Pascal had more than Marco.

However, I won't say that the team or any of its developers did more or less than any bitcoin dev. This is because it is hard to rate the value of commits and the amount of work required to produce them. The fact that you tried to do this shows how few you understand about software development in general....
