It seems like it would be useful to have a subforum of Technical Support for questions with bounties. (Long proposal, I know.)

I am a professional programmer offering small jobs for a flat fee of ฿3. (See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93064.0 for larger jobs.) At the moment, I don't really have a portfolio available as I only signed up for the forum a few weeks ago, but I will accept cash-on-delivery for jobs of this size from members with more than 50 posts (and who aren't marked as scammers).

The price of the script does not include setting up an environment to run the scripts. I do not support Python versions less than 2.7.3 (>3 is strongly preferred) or Ruby versions less than 1.9.3.

Scripts would be short and sweet, written in bash, Ruby, or Python. Some examples might be:

• web scrapers
• download scripts too complex for wget
• mass file renaming/editing/conversion
• simple IRC bots
• scheduled payments/emails/etc.
• most things that involves doing repetitive, trivial tasks

I am a programmer offering high quality services for a discerning and privacy-conscious clientele. I can create both desktop software and web sites for all functions, and I pride myself in creating highly secure applications tailored to each client's unique needs.

I am highly skilled in the Ruby and Python programming languages, the Ruby on Rails web framework and associated technologies, Linux operating systems, cryptography, Bitcoin and the bitcoind API, Tor and its protections and caveats, PGP, and most aspects of computer security. I also have some familiarity with C, x86 assembly, BSD operating systems, and countless libraries.

My standard hourly rate is ฿12. Please ask for an estimate for how long it will take to complete a project; it has been my experience that people often greatly overestimate development time, especially in web design. (I suspect that this is due to unscrupulous developers offering services at a low hourly rate and then grossly overstating development time.) I also offer fixed rate services, and am amenable to revenue sharing schemes, stock options, or, in certain cases, barter in lieu of all or portion of my fee.

I am, of course, happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, either via PM, in this thread, or by email at elenam@tormail.org. I highly recommend using PGP; my key ID is 4BE75914.
