You have to pay a $500 application fee and cover the cost of your own airfare? I stayed at a pretty nice place for $10 a night in Costa Rica, so $500 covers 50

I stayed at a pretty nice place for $10 a night in Costa Rica, so $500 covers 50 days during which one can code or swim and ends up owning outright whatever they write.
Have to be crazy to take this deal, it makes no sense.
- npt4279 15y agoJust to be clear, we're doing this at cost. We're renting a mansion with cooks and servants and stuff. And we own 0% of your IP.
- bugsy 15y agoEr, OK, so the idea here is that it's a bunch of different guys working on random ideas of their own and afterwards they each go their separate ways? If that's the case, it's not so clear from the web site.
- pauldix 15y agoI have serious doubts that you found a nice place for $10 a night. I went there for 12 days in Jan '09 and I found that the prices were ok, but they definitely weren't third-world. It's developed now and you pay accordingly. It also seemed to me that $500 was for the stay (not an application fee), which is a good deal for 10 days for the house in the pictures.
- bugsy 15y agoIf you say so. I also stayed at a place on the beach in Montezuma, have you been there? That place was $1.50 a night. I wouldn't call it nice, but many of the people going there aren't looking for fancy digs at night. > a good deal for 10 days for the house in the pictures 20 people x $500 is $10,000 for 10 days (9 nights?), or $1000 a day for the place. That's pretty expensive for CR, I can't say I've even heard of any place that charges that much. Of course there is the housekeeping and meals as well. Does this place have 20 private bedrooms or is there room sharing for the $500.
