RE: bounties:<div><br></div><div>&quot;A couple of bitcoins to fix a bug&quot; sounds to me like nothing but trouble for whoever is in charge of awarding the bounties, but maybe I&#39;m just anti-bounty because spending 2 or 3 hours and getting $30 worth of bitcoins for fixing a bug wouldn&#39;t motivate me.</div>
<div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Anybody know how cash bounties have worked for other projects?  Have any others paid bounties on run-of-the-mill bugs, and did that cause any problems?  I&#39;m worried that if contributors start getting bounties that will change the dynamic from cooperative to competitive.  For example, if somebody has figured out how to solve 90% of some tricky bug I don&#39;t want them to hesitate to ask for help on the last 10% because they&#39;re worried &quot;if I describe the progress I&#39;ve made so far somebody might swoop in and steal my bounty....&quot;</div>
