True. And we have a great Nostr friendly crowdfunding site in nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 - but bounties address a different problem. They’re issues and features identified by users that they are willing to pay to see happen.

I think bounties can work, but they need some marketing, a site with a slick UI, and exposure. And most importantly, someone with project management and product development skills to help distill out the promising ideas and let the cream rise to the top.

Maybe a bounty fund? Meaning, sats go into a pool and contributors vote on a list of potential bounties that have been carefully thought out and written up by someone who understands user stories and product development.

I’ve always appreciated the book publishing model where they provide funds up front with a backend contract which holds the author accountable to a date and deadline. I’m not sure how that would work with a multi sig Bitcoin account, but something to consider 🤔
