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 🤔

Hmm still not sold. I don’t think a slick UI is going to help when the underlying problem is that there’s no way to claim a work in progress status. The first come first claim process is “not worth it”, or so the thinking goes. I say all of this having launched a bounty and people asking me if it’s open only to not do anything about it. Then someone else claiming a “solution” that is a far different thing from what was described.

Even smaller bounties with presumably less work went unclaimed. My guess is people just don’t want to work for a the amount of sats offered and who can blame them when you can fiat mine much more in the same timeframe.

The only time bounties work imo is when people do it for fun in their spare time because they like the space.
