What did the lady do for the $30,000 she's asking?
She talked to a few exchanges and was involved with dozens of other people in the start of HIVE but not in the technical aspect. She is not a developer.
You can read her proposal here. https://peakd.com/hive/@justineh/hive-exchange-listings-and-communication-pr-proposal#@lordbutterfly/re-justineh-q9rc60
I won't bother reading her proposal. Got the idea after all and my opinion is that she should have asked for the money before getting involved. That's how I would do that, otherwise it's just volunteer work and nobody is being paid for that.
