Hey, as explained in the following thread, bountysource shouldn’t be used any more: [image] Don't use bountysource anymore! 🏷️ General Bountysource decided to update their Terms of service today: 2.13 Bounty Time-Out. If no Solution is accepted within two y…

It’s a fairly long read but these guys go into all the models; https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/other-crowdfunding Personally I think https://issuehunt.io/ is a good alternative.

issuehunt is a good one. Not sure how people here feel about ETH coins as payment (Has a USD options as well… I think, or do they just display USD equivalent?), but can check out https://gitcoin.co

I was recommended https://opencollective.com/ which, among others support a bounty program. FOSS platform and used by quite some known organisations. I was thinking to move over as well but would be nice to hear some feedback from people who use it already.

I remember that someone once wrote that it’s just too much work to get rid of all the bountysource links… To create a link: the following topic is related [image] Do we need a formal, democratic, non-profit Organization for organizing the Nextcloud community? 🏷️ General T…

Devs already decided to refocus these funds on their diversity program. Cannot find the link, but that is what they stated.

Also, this comes to my mind https://opencollective.com/ –--------- I understand that contiuous payments make more sense for the project/developers. But as a user/IT manager there are specific things that bother me, and that don’t get developed unless me and others put bounties on those issues. I …
