       | This is awesome. I really like the idea of rysolv.

       | How are you handling issues that go unsolved but have funding
       | remaining on them?

         | Right now there is no expiration on the bounty. But it's
         | definitely something we're thinking through.
         | 
         | Two ideas right now:
         | 
         | - Just have it returned to the user.
         | 
         | - At some point the bounty goes into a general fund for that
         | project.

       | Hey all! Launched the beta for rysolv 6 months ago, and have been
       | working on a lot of features since then.
       | 
       | How it works:
       | 
       | - Anyone can add a bounty to an issue
       | 
       | - When the issue is closed / PR merged the bounty is awarded
       | 
       | Major updates since beta:
       | 
       | - Dropped the 10% rysolv fee.
       | 
       | - Added repo donations. So a portion of bounties are contributed
       | back to the maintainers (https://rysolv.com/how-to#bounties)
       | 
       | - Ton of work on recommendations. Trying to match uses with the
       | right issues, and encouraging repeat contributors.
       | 
       | Looking forward to any feedback / suggestions!
       | 
       | If you'd like to get involved we welome contributors
       | (github.com/rysolv), or join our discord
       | (https://discord.gg/axCNYAXk)

       | This is actually really interesting. Open source is the future of
       | software and incentivizing communal efforts makes sense. Are you
       | taking any commissions on it though?

         | We're not taking commissions on any of the bounties.
         | 
         | We started off with that mindset, but it didn't really make
         | sense as a business decision, and I don't find the those kind
         | of fees fair for users.
         | 
         | For monetizing, we're working on a buildout where closed source
         | companies can list issues as well. Which will operate more like
         | a typical freelancing platform.
