This is now a main question type! The current implementation will resolve YES if it’s still available. I hope it is, because bounties seem very useful and a good way of making Ṁ more valuable.

Betting no as a bounty reward for implementing it.

What is a bounty market?

@KatjaGrace Not really a market, I suppose; just the ability to offer Ṁ in exchange for stuff. There's an open pull request for it here: https://github.com/manifoldmarkets/manifold/pull/759

@NcyRocks since market is not the requirement per say but rather just to offer a bounty in exchangefor stuff (like answers to a question) should this resolve YES now that we have Bounty QA or does this market only resolve YES if it is still available on the specific date 2024-01-01?

@ShitakiIntaki It definitely needs to still be there on 2024-01-01. The current Q&A feature is a little unpolished relative to what I want, not sure whether I’d resolve YES on that alone. I guess it’s isomorphic but it’s annoying to use and I don’t see it scaling to, say, bug bounties.

@NcyRocks hmmmmm. Would you be willing to better define what would qualify for this market to resolve YES?

Existence is easy to evaluate, but annoyance is a more subjective measure. Subjectivity is fine but it is uncomfortable if it was not readily apparent upfront how subjective the market resolution might be.

@ShitakiIntaki On second thought, the only reason it shouldn’t resolve YES is because it’s not a market type, but that’s not really a good reason. If this feature is still around in 2024 I’ll resolve YES. It definitely has the scent of a short-lived Manifold experiment, though.

@NcyRocks Also it should ideally allow anyone to add to the bounty and be linkable, but that’s just me.
