I really like the bounty idea. There are tons of highly skilled and wealthy folks in the HN community, who are upset about issues such as privacy in tech, poor security in public sector organizations (utilities, education), etc. With some good, informal, leadership, we could put the community's resources to good use and help solve these problems. Folks who don't see meaning in their regular jobs could find contributing their skill or money to this and similar projects fulfilling and rewarding.
