I don’t really understand bounties. Am I supposed to drop what I’m doing and put hundreds of hours into something and hope I win? Maybe that makes sense for a teenager or a new developer but not a professional with a family and bills to pay.

Agree. Thinking this through more
My thought, would integrate the v4v model in kinda way
v4v is cool but corporations are willing to pay more for a skilled developers time. It then becomes hard to justify putting in the hours for such a small reward. This might not be the case if you have a large social media presence and can get eyes on your work and people to promote you. Most developers don’t have this. There’s a lot of passion in this space so it kinda works but you are still missing out on the majority of the talent pool with that model.
Maybe pay someone to manage the project using bounties to get code written.
I was about to write the same 🤙 It would be an amazing thing to help build, but with this setup, there is no option.
