Hired the guy for our API, the deal is as follows:
1. 75$ deposit up to the first field test of our API (patterned after reddapi
https://www.reddapi.com/docs/rest/v1/),
2. another 75$ for the second release after bug fixing when the first tests are done.
3. then the last 150$ when the final release is given, support for 90days for other bugs. (bugs, not extension of capability or revision of API)
4. ETA for the initial field tests October 15, 2014. (conservative 3 weeks projection)

I would like to ask those who have boxes that can be used for the actual tests, please do prepare, so that we can go over this smoothly...thank you.

THIS is why I think there needs to be STRUCTURE and a BOARD of stakeholders
Because if you had published your specification and solicited bids you would have likely got a better deal.
Because my team at Strength in Numbers Foundation is willing to do the API work for FREE -- since we already have a large catalog of functions and capability already built up.
We believe all boats rise when the tide comes in.
