We are launching with an initial set of 10 bounty challenges
More bounties might be added as we go
An individual or team who fully solves any of the ten challenges will be eligible to receive a bounty of 2 BTC
For transparency: submissions will be shared with external industry experts to help us discern whether submissions meet bounty requirements
HRF will be making decisions in a charitable way for bounty submissions that make a good faith effort to meet the requirements
We will be leaning to the spirit, not the letter, of the law
Individuals and teams are encouraged to contact bounty at hrf dot org with any questions during the bounty process
HRF retains final approval on allocating prize funds
The Bitcoin Bounty Challenge will run until December 31, 2024
Any unclaimed bounties will convert into general operating funding for the HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund on January 1, 2025
An individual or team may collect any amount of bounties
If a leading wallet maker or for-profit corporation would like to compete, we would be delighted
To claim a bounty submit proof to bounty at hrf dot org
For full terms and conditions visit hrfbounties.org
This project was born out of 6 months of field research where HRF staff met with + interviewed a) dissidents and human rights NGO leaders from around the world and b) Bitcoin developers
The goal was to settle on a mix of desired upgrades to Bitcoin that seemed somewhat realistic
We fully expect a handful of these bounties to be claimed by the end of next year
We fully expect the bounties to spark debate, arguments, new ideas, criticism, and other stuff that may indirectly help Bitcoin and Bitcoin users
We *do not expect* all of bounties to be claimed
You all have 523 days left
Good luck!
And big thanks to @BitcoinMagazine for covering the news :)

I seriously agree, this MF imbezzeled billions and just gets away with it? I've never had faith in our justice system but HOLY SHIT what a blatant expose on the inner workings of our legal democracy.
Meanwhile Ross Ulbricht is spending his life in federal prison for the creation of a websjte...WTAF
Asking the devs and plebs, I'm very curious about running my own node. My first question is do I need to beef up my internet connection before I start setting up my node?
My internet connection leaves alot to be desired. I have a cheap router, maybe an upgrade is required but to what?
Thanks in advance
Thanks. It's crazy over here. It took me all night to set up my profile and get everything connected...truly an intense experience 🙃
Happy to be here on nostr
