dEEtoooo
What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.
dEEtoooo has been a massive contributor to the Rocket Pool subreddit.
Based on average response times it appears he is still covering it daily and is quick to respond to all queries helpfully and professionally, often directing users to Discord or other resources.
Here’s a screenshot of some of his contributions:
- Assuming a post takes 15 minutes: 15 minutes * 174 posts = 2,610 minutes (43.5 hours)
- Assuming a comment takes 5 minutes: 5 minutes * 860 posts = 4,300 minutes (71.67 hours)
$50/hr * roughly 100 hours = $5,000
I’ve included the breakdown above to offer context and a basis for comparison. However, I want to clarify that I don’t believe it’s sufficiently accurate to use the data this way to establish a precedent for compensation.
The data alone doesn’t capture the entirety of his impact, which extends to assisting hundreds of individuals interested in the protocol.
