Let’s hear the devs. Given the cheap NBT post-collapse @eleven probably cost more NBT than he billed; if he spent 4-5 full-time months on this he probably cost 6-7. sigmike, glv and erasmos punk are likely more expensive hourly.
Assuming that the latter three as a group charged at least as many man-hours as eleven, perhaps one can say 100k+ NBT had actually been spent on devs. BTW, @cryptog would know something about @eleven’s pay - a route I hope we don’t have to resort to.
My very crude guess is that if JL had taken anything for himself it might be in the ball park of 50k, or lower, though it could still be 100k. I’ll stop here with my 2 cents, the bird should speak for himself.
