RE: 2000 Steem Prize! Develop SteemJ.com for Steemit Freelancing!
It won't work. Not because it's a bad idea, but because a 2000 STEEM prize is not enough.
Developers don't play with that kind of money. What you described is a huge project that to be done properly needs a team of developers and not just an hour of coding.
If you hired someone for 2000 STEEM, then yeah they might take up on the task, but to start coding thsi as a competition, where you aren't even sure, if you will get paid, then it won't happen.
Now, I might be wrong and some amazing developer who loves Steem will take up on this task, but I really doubt it.
very true!
I have to agree too. Seems like very little relative to the work involved, unless, as you say, there's someone who was ready to do it for free already. 😵
@liudasbutkus thank you for mentioning this because I was unsure of what to offer! If no one is interested at 2,000 I will either learn to code and do it myself or raise the reward! The higher the reward, the more tempting it is to just built it myself!
Well, let's do some math, an average developer salary in the US is $70k or around $6k a month. A contest usually pays more than a month's salary, because you are competing and the money isn't guaranteed.
Also, having in mind that you are asking for a really serious project.
So, it should start at around 5 times a salary roughly at $30k.
Obviously, there are developers in other countries that don't get paid that much for example in Lithuania $2k a month is around the average so, only $10k would be needed.
In conclusion offer $10k for starters or $30k, if you want to get the attention of even serious developers.
P.S. If you are interested in coding, then yeah go for it, but it will take at least a year to learn how to code and more if you want to build such sophisticated systems.
