[bisq-network/compensation] For July 2018 (#95)

[initCCG]

Ok, thank you.

Will do.

If you try to hire professional, or even freelance native speaker
translators, you'll find that by the word is how they charge.
The highest such rate we've been quoted by the most accomplished
professional translators has been 0.07 USD / word.

If 1 BSQ = 1 USD, then even last month's translation request in #91 was
wildly overpaid:
https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/91
Even at that top professional rate, the 143 word translation, for which
the contributor was paid 300 BSQ, becomes 10 BSQ.

We've so far translated and reviewed over 45,000 words, in 4 unrelated
languages, with completely different alphabets, in high-risk jurisdictions.

Plus we had people assigned to find, interview and coordinate them.

So, it doesn't seem fair that we should be paid bottom rates for trying
to quickly complete languages like Russian for example, which haven't
been completed or had even one string reviewed years since their
translation started.

We will of  course accept whatever the stakeholders consider fair.

How do we find the lowest rate per word that a translation contributor
was compensated in BSQ, and we'll recalculate using that?
Would that be acceptable?

Thank you for our attention.
