This could be promising. Does anyone know if it might catch on? It love to submit bounties on persistent OSS bugs that irk me every day.

We won't know if it'll catch on or not until you (and others who are wondering the same thing) offer the bounties and see what happens.

This looks awesome. To me it seems as if they have perfect tasks already.

I think this is going to skyrocket.

I remember a similar website from a few years ago, but I can't remember the name.

Do people who add to a bounty after the fact get any say in the acceptance of it?

Do you manually accept all bounty completions on a site management level? I started a site like this but ran into all of these trust or moderator required processes. I'd be interested to know how you plan to combat them.

Other than that though I like the design/layout of the site and the flow seems pretty nice.

The task creator is the judge of accepting/rejecting the solution.

If the requirements listed isn't suitable, the other task rewarders can simply make a comment saying "i'll contribute $200 for this task if you add this requirement." Then the task creator can add it to the list of requirements.
