I don't really get where the antipathy is coming from, levelling 'for profit motivated then' like its a vicious accusation. Its not like I'm the CEO of a massive corporation trying to hoodwink innocent hobbyists into doing my work for free; I'm am interested in Pis, programming, etc., and had an idea for a project that I find interesting and I may also be able to use to make some money. Its not like I even have an existing thing that I'm making money off of already and need help fixing; I literally have an idea for a project which I am thinking of making a certain way because I will maybe be able to make a bit of money through it.For profit motivated then.
Shame you didn't mention that in your OP.
My advice? Do what any serious business does: pay someone for their expertise.
While it's not against forum rules to ask for free help with for profit projects, not being up front about it (so we can make an informed choice on whether to participate) offends.
Regarding your suggestion to 'Do what any serious business does: pay someone for their expertise', you seem to be assuming that I am a 'serious business' (or any business at all), or that the very fact that I may make money makes me not a hobbyist, but rather some predatory leech.
If you'd like I can also clarify my religion and nationality in future posts in case you have a disdain for those, too.
