Currently bounties are implemented through the Bounty Board Github Project on this repo, with payments handled by teams listing bounties.

GitCoin provides a complete bounty solution (attaching bounty to GitHub issue, sourcing developers, progress tracking, escrow/payouts in crypto). A test issue payout (for ipfs/distributed-wikipedia-mirror#64) was made here with a generally favorable experience.

Pros

  • taps wider ecosystem of developers experienced in executing bounty type work
  • cross-border payments without regard to developer location

Cons

  • requires handling crypto wallets (both issuer and developer)
  • money held in escrow for duration of procurement + development
  • platform fee (10%) + ethereum network fees
  • more moving parts

If you're a developer interested in completing bounties or a issuer of bounties, please indicate your preference below.
