he's a developer that's been here for over a year, made the libraries for python and so forth, does he deserve it? te good part is that if you are interested you can check and find out, but if you just think you deserve something, well there are many others that do too, do you for instance go on 100 posts and read all the comments, do you engage the community, do you do something that matters, this comment for sure isn't it, it's not either the problem or a solution, I don't get enough upvotes, well who said you should. I've seen 5000 word posts that have 10 upvotes and no payout, I would credit that rather than your posts whatever they are, so far I'm not even interested to see your blog page :|
