Just tell me where to send my BLC or PHO donations for bounties. I like the idea of a way to make project-specific bounty donations. Can the donations all be made to the same address for each coin, so that we can audit?
There are a lot of good ideas floating around here that gravitate toward blake because (a) it works, and (b) the developers in this community are generous with their time, while also supportive of people who want to get involved in any way. The downside is that there’s a proliferation of half-finished projects. It takes me (as a somewhat helpless non-technical person) like half an hour of crawling the web to find up-to-date wallet software, or just the latest thread in a discussion. Is it on the coin homepage? The original blc forum? Bitcointalk? The new blake society forum? Github? Twitter?
Maybe it’s relatively trivial for you programming wizards to repurpose an existing codebase to use for managing BLC bounties. But if it’s going to take weeks to make this kind of work, but only for one coin — then I would say, focus on improving the forum / wiki offerings, and on existing wallet and node software. We can handle bounties manually, especially since I suspect that both the contributors and the winners will be known personalities here.
Maybe the solution is not computational — just trust someone from the community to adjudicate bounties, and then rely on the pledgors to send the funds directly when instructed by the judge. At least for now, while the value of the bounty is relatively small.
