Last week, we started
experimenting with offering bounties to help speed up the development of one of our open source projects called
XChange. Based on initial success, we've decided to offer bounties beyond the XChange project, and therefore created a centralized page on xeiam.com where all
current and paid bounties are listed.
Following is the text directly from the bounties page:
Welcome to Xeiam's Bounty Program. Below is a listing of all our current open and past paid bounties. All bounties are paid in Bitcoin, and it's by far the simplest and fastest way to transfer money in today's globally connected community. We'll be posting all new bounties on our twitter feed, so please subscribe to be the first to hear about new bounties!
If you'd like to work on an issue for a bounty, the first thing you should do is claim it by adding a comment on the GitHub issue page where the bounty is defined along with how long you need to finish it. In this way, bounties can be claimed on a first-come first-served manner, but others may attempt it if the original claimer cannot finish it in a reasonable time. To claim the bounty, just leave your Bitcoin address as a comment on the GitHub issue page or in the pull request.
100% of donations to open source projects will be directly recycled back into the project as a bounty or bounties. In you're interested in donating or sponsoring a bounty for a specific feature request, please visit the project on GitHub where you can find the Bitcoin donation address and/or post a new issue.
We have plans to offer many more and higher paid bounties in the near future!
