How Do Bounties Work?
Got a tech problem? Post a bounty, set a reward, and let experts compete to solve it.
Open to Everyone
Bounties are open challenges available to anyone who thinks they can solve them. Here's how it works:
Post Your Problem
Describe your tech issue in detail and pledge a bounty amount.
Experts Submit Solutions
Tech specialists see your bounty and submit their answers publicly.
Pick the Best Answer
Review all solutions and select the one that solves your problem.
Award the Bounty
The winning specialist receives your bounty payment automatically.
Building a Public Knowledge Base
Both the questions and the answers remain public on our site forever. This means future visitors can find solutions to similar problems, creating a valuable searchable knowledge base for the tech community.
Your bounty doesn't just solve your problem — it helps everyone who encounters the same issue in the future.
Specialists Earn Reputation
When a specialist solves a bounty, they don't just earn points — they build reputation based on the total dollar value of bounties they've solved. This creates a meaningful track record that shows real expertise and problem-solving ability.
