Ahh the beauty of consulting.
I work for a consulting firm. Charge by the hour and all hours are self-reported. Why anyone would pay for this is beyond me but that's the way it is.

Charge him out the ass OP. $150-250 per hour is unironically a good rate if you're good. It's also his fault for not agreeing to a price and getting it in writing.

You as the seller get to set what you deem to be a fair market price and it is 100% his fault if he didn't get you to agree in writing beforehand.

Come up with an hourly rate you're comfortable with, determine how many hours you think it will take, add 20%, then quote that as the price. If he gives you shit about it, tell him to have someone else make it.

Also make it clear that training or additional features/maintenance will be billed at your hourly rate plus the 20% you added. Don't tell him about the 20% markup. I charge $105/hr for IT consulting if that helps, but that is driven by the market I'm in.

Premium pricing is a thing. Builders do it all the time if a job is going to be particularly awkward or they just can't be bothered.

Pretty much this >>2003496. Charge him to fuck. He sounds pretty clueless anyway so just be assertive.

Work on it for X hours and him for 2-3 times that amount of hours at $50/hr. He'd look Jewish to complain over $50/hr and you're actually charging him $100-150/hr. I'm an architect and I do this all the time. Usually bill double hours and charge 60-80$/hr depending on how rich the client is and how hard the job is.

Tell him to pay you in ETH
