@kth 11 February 2021 more from that month

In response to Leandro Di Marco’s article In response to Leandro Di Marco’s **article** of February 11, 2021, in which he claims that I owe him a payment of 10,000 USD for services rendered, first I want to thank Leandro for his enthusiasm and support of the Knuth full node project. https://read.cash/@Leandrodimarco/end-of-collaboration-with-knuth-node-project-and-payment-request-2a790cd5 Leandro is very enthusiastic about BCH and that is to be valued and respected. It was also out of enthusiasm for BCH that I accepted Leandro’s request in February 2020 to discuss my Knuth full node project. Leandro helped out here and there but he never made any proposal that included specific deliverables and a payment amount. This despite the fact that I suggested Leandro make such a proposal many times. On May 27, 2020, Leandro told me he deserved at least 50% of the funds from Knuth’s first Flipstarter. He then said he would take 10-20%, but only for future work, not any work he might have done to that point. I mentioned the number of 10,000 USD as an absolute maximum amount I could spend on the kind of work he might do. However, we never reached an agreement. I regret the inconvenience of this situation for everyone involved and am instituting a hiring process going forward to ensure misunderstandings of this kind can not happen again. Further, I offer to pay Leandro up to 3,000 USD in BCH for services rendered as long as he provides an itemized invoice that details his precise deliverables no later than 11:59PM GMT on February 28, 2021. Thank you and my best wishes to Leandro going forward.
