Provide links to work you're involved with that is still in progress. This section is optional (the linter ignores it), and is for your own benefit in keeping track of what you're doing and keeping other contributors up to date with the same.

Trying to get a feel for what's fair as far as compensation requests go (my standard rates aren't really directly comparable because of extreme specialization in my career, and especially not given my current lack of familiarity with the codebase); tried to ballpark based on looking at historical comp requests, but will happily tweak to fit what's fair upon further feedback and would fully understand something lower. This was a bit of an odd case with bisq-network/bisq2#2296 and bisq-network/bisq2#2307 taking up a higher-than-normal portion of time while also being superseded by bisq-network/bisq2#2334, so I'm aware that it might look pretty strange (again, more than happy to change amounts on request).

@kciouv The compensation should reflect the added value to Bisq. I am aware that this is not always easy to estimate.
To break down each CP with a USD value makes it already a bit easier. To calculate personal rates can help for one self but should not be considered as the model to define the values, specially in early phases as getting familiar with the code base is not compensated in Bisq.

I will DM you my personal estimations to the PRs... feel free to ignore those, just my personal feedback.

[HenrikJannsen]

And just out of curiosity, why has the only entry with a dedicated value 0.32 USD? I assume it happened by mistake....

[kciouv]

@HenrikJannsen yeah sure, agree w/ your recommended changes

wrote this after a long flight and wasn't paying much attention; this was essentially an attempt at Cunningham's Law ("the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.") because I couldn't find a recent (itemized) example of pricing.

[kciouv]

(and the .32 was just to get the bsq number even)

[axpoems]

I don't see the reason to stop pursuing the even BSQ number.

When the bot that parses the compensation requests backs to work again, I think it won't like the total 400 USD in the last row, and it will invalidate the parsing.
Please remove that row, it's not necessary as the total amount is already in the second line (USD requested).

@MwithM done

Good to know. Next time I think twice where I spend my time...

Compensation request was not submitted.
