Slashdot just had an article on this (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/10/15/1724258&mode=thread), and the one assuption going around was that USD 55,000 was too low. Damian should be paid more.

I'm working right now on having Stonehenge buy $5500.00 worth, as a 10% offer. Nicely, since another company offered matching funds, it's really a 20% deal.
