Bounty Platform - get paid in Steem (amongst other methods)
Hi All,
I wanted to introduce you to 'Bounty'. It is not ready for public viewing just yet, but I thought I would introduce it to you anyhow.
Bounty is similar to Kickstarter but with some major differences.
- You will be able to fund ideas you like with steem (and other cryptocurrencies)
- You will be able to support just the ideas of a project you like rather than the whole project.
Point 2 needs a little explaining, so let me give you an example. I am currently programming Bounty and have a number of tasks that still need to be done. I will publish these tasks along with a budget needed to get them done, once they have been funded then I will start working on that task. So, for example I might have 2 tasks that are similar, for example login with Facebook and login with google. If you would like the login with Facebook feature then you could send funds to get this developed first.
This also means that you can see the progress of the project. It incentivises the developer to deliver quickly to get more funding for up and coming tasks. You are not going to fund me more money if I did not complete the first tasks right?
Anyone will be able to add a project and publish it to get funding to support them.
Later on I will be allowing developers to bid on the tasks. This will mean the cost of the development is likely to reduce as developers outbid each other.
So, what do you think? Do you have projects that you would like to get funded in this manner?
To keep up with development and launch of this, please follow @steembounty
Nice post, can i say the program is a helping hand for people to complete their project or didn't i get the information very well?
Yes. It could help people to complete their project. No matter if they are just starting or nearing completion.
Great idea, you should get in contact with @benniebanana he is also doing some cool things now with Steem docs.
Thanks. I have talked with @benniebanana before. Great job he is doing with Steem Docs.
Great, I'll be telling him about your bounty platform as well, as he could use it in one of his up and coming projects.
Perfect. Thanks. I will be looking for some early supporters :) Hopefully we can help each other.
