Terminology:

“Bounty Pests”

- they offer bounties to questions on Nostr

- communicate to note authors via comments

– re-ask for info, if could not parse or author did not provide enough information. Such as bounty timeout, timer restart conditions, choice of escrow.

- Confirm choices

- Communicate stats and fees about escrows

– Announce the winner after escrow zap

– Announce escrow failure if bounty was not zapped

“Bounty Escrows”

– Advertise themselves on Noster to be discovered by the bounty pests

– Take offers after offer request was collected by bounty pests

– Collect zaps from authors of questions

- Check for bounty timer extension conditions

- Check for bounty win 🏆 conditions

- Zap bounty to the author of the winning answer

are you re-inventing "Stacker News"?

Thanks for showing me SN. Didn’t know about it. Looks like they have bounties too. Basically I’m looking to add bounties to Nostr.
