We're just launching a new type of question, akin to a regular Q&A, except you can pay a bounty toward helpful answers.
Let us know your thoughts. I will award bounties to insightful comments, especially ones that inspire change!
Make them easier to find. I found this one only through the discord link and I currently don't see how to get an overview of bountied questions.
Might be neat to have a GitHub integration, so that whenever someone posts a bounty associated with a specific GitHub issue a message is posted like “A Ṁ1000 bounty has been posted for this issue on Manifold - sign up to claim it!”
I’d like to know when a bounty I submitted for is fully-awarded, so I can see what was awarded/stop checking it
Add an option on manifold.markets/questions to sort/filter by question type (yes/no, new multi, old multi, bounty, possibly other types as they arrive). Also when filtering for bounties the sorting options should change slightly (since eg "Daily change" doesn't make much sense for a bounty).
I think having comments collapsed by default is probably good in general for these markets, but when you follow a notification to a new sub-comment it should automatically un-collapse the chain that the new comment is in. Right now I'm clicking on notifications for new comments on this thread and then having to manually find what comment they were replying to.
Repository of questions and answers, filtered by date, bounty size and tag. Lots of resourcefulness to come out of that imho.
I don't see a way to close / delete one of them, you should probably be at least able to close them (and maybe delete if no bounties were awarded/no answers posted idk)
edit: also that would return the remaining bounty pool to the creator
Let people add to the bounty without going to the three dots menu - add a button near where it says “X/Y bounty left”
Within the "bountied questions" section, there should be a further option to:
a) Look at only questions with a bounty remaining
b) Sort by bounty quantity
An idea I recently had: As we all know, coming up with good resolution criteria can be tricky, especially for somebody who is new or just interested in the outcome and not familiar with prediction markets.
So when creating a market it might be helpful to suggest first setting a bounty for good resolution criteria or potential issues with the market or even for creating the market itself. (In some kind of help text?)
This could maybe even be directly integrated when creating a market: first have a bountied phase that asks for good resolution criteria or issues, switching to regular betting once the creator chooses one.
Bounties should probably be displayed on the comments tab of a user page. Right now I think the only way to see someone's bounties is to go their Leagues activity.
I’d love to see it morph to a more generic bounty system. Bounty for code to do a task, bounty for a photo/drawing of X in Y style, bounty for feedback on a skill Im developing or a home improvement project I’m tackling. The possibilities are endless!
Give M5 bonus per unique commentor.
Basically the unique trader bonus for markets, but based on unique people who comment on a bountied question. @IngaWei
People may create fewer or smaller bountied questions because of the cost.
So this bonus could be helpful at encouraging more questions to be created. Also, it's fun.
You should probably consider if bounties for things that have monetary value (the postcard is free though lol) will be a problem with the payment processor or something and explicitly disallow them if so
