I done bounties on some open source projects and it worked out well. The contributors made great contributions and the owners of the projects reviewed them. It was a great way of getting a project to move faster.
The project and contributions required a high degree of skill. And it also wasn’t a super popular project so it didn’t attract a lot of competition.
- matsemann 3y agoI think bounties can work. But it's important that the work being bountied comes from the project itself or at least is approved by the maintainers.
- HWR_14 3y agoI think a lot of their issues with bug bounties only apply if the project is pretty popular. If it increases the number of developers working on an issue/feature from 0 to 1, that's a win. Their analysis is why it's bad to go from 1 to many.
