  "Algora charges a 23% fee over your rewarded bounties (20% Algora fee + 3% Stripe fee). The fee is applied when you complete your bounty payments." https://docs.algora.io/bounties/payments#compliance https://docs.algora.io/bounties/payments#compliance If algora.io didn't charge %23 of the bounty I would have tried to contribute. It felt unfair to me.

    hey ffback, contributors get 100% of the bounty award :) the organization pays the fee on top of the bounty. will update the docs to make this more clear, thank you!

      The organization is willing to pay 123% of the bounty. So from the contributor pov algora's fee is 20/123~=16.2% still high IMHO.

        But if I get a reward for 100 dollars and the company pays 123 dollars which you may not see in your statement then what's the problem?

        They're willing to pay that amount for the bounty + managing and paying out bounties. If they weren't paying Algora to do it, they'd be paying their own staff to do it. Either way, the extra percentage wouldn't be part of the bounty. I'd gladly pay 23% just to not have to worry about the logistics of bounty payments.
