if you are a gun-for-hire, what is your price?
If I were to put a price to it.. (and note: I'm still not signing up for it).
I think it would be fair to place a 10 BTC bounty on an effort that would preserve the existing "network".
This is a much bigger job than the WC folks.. it requires some surgical scripts to be created.
if the community raised the funds and used escrow I can see 10 BTC being no problem. What would be your paper-napkin estimate on the time to completion? please take your time and let us know when you are confident about your numbers. alot of us are still in shock and will most likely be drinking the night away with what little satoshis we have left.
You realize that if you pull this off, you will go down in history and it will hopefully generate more business for you.
