New Bounty System? - Creating a Bountysource Alternative

[ghost]

New Bounty System?

• simple crypto-based contract for escrow
  • on crypto-platform with processing fees in penny region
• low fee for the contract (e.g. a 3%)
• very simple, github-PR bound process
  • PR is merged, escrowed amount is send immediately to bounty worker

(I could implement this, but am far too bored to do so, because it's too simple, not challenging stuff)

how do you prevent the bountysource situation in the future?

I'm a maintainer of Gitpay (https://gitpay.me), which is entirely Open Source, and we don't retain the bounty funds.
