It's Time for a Steem Bounty System!
Yep, we have a big ecosystem to build and it's not going to get built unless we build it together
To help get us all working together, let's use a bounty system to manage tasks and prioritize items that will bring the best returns to our community.
Anyone is welcome to post #bounties - be they for marketing, software development or any other domain impacting Steem and Steemians.
Please follow the form:
Comment1: Task; Size of the Bounty; Milestones
Comments 2;3;4;5: Updates, submissions and responses
And if you have suggestions for bounties, but not enough tokens to see it through, then please feel free to PM me or anyone else with your ideas!
(Steemit.com will link to this post in the top right menu so that it is well monitored)
The first bounty is for .. you guessed it... a specially designed Bounty Management Forum :)
Task: Design, Build, Operate an open-source, open-data, independent website (or system that can be integrated into Steemit.com) for managing bounties.
Milestone 1: Design the bounty system with UI/UX and full specs for the engineering required. Design must clearly demonstrate how bounty milestones will be rewarded; demonstrate how Steem and SBD will be integrated; show functional user experience; demonstrate the escrow process; demonstrate how tasks and updates will be recorded/monitored/and tracked.
Milestone 2: Engineer the website and system for bounty management.
Milestone 3: Launch, host, operate the website; get it linked from Steemit.com and other Steem-based website menus
Bounties:
Milestone 1 - 1000 SBD
Milestone 2 - 2000 SBD
Milestone 3 - 1000 SBD
Something else that would be interesting to develop is a kickstarter style funding system. The difference with a normal post is that the poster would define a target payout and a limit date among predetermined maturities, and would only receive the payout if she accrues enough votes to hit the target before maturity. At the moment, to keep it compatible with the current system, the accrued funding could be calculated as the sum of 1-day payout (so minimum maturity would be 1-day) and the subsequent 30-day payout (so maximum maturity would be 30+1). For this particular case, payout would have to be paid entirely in SBD.
With that kind of system, Steem could easily become a crowdfunding plateform since, as a matter of fact, the post reward system is effectively already being used to fund projects.
Where this connects with the bounty system is that this allows for another way of funding new developments where instead of setting a fixed price for completion of a given task, the inceptor of the idea could instead publish it as a call for tender, and let interested developers could make an offer with specs, and cost, and let the community decide which it likes better. The system can also be integrated with the new escrow system of release 0.14.0 so that the funds raised will only be paid upon completion and delivery of the project.
Sucks that i'm not good at UI. I've made a similar website a couple of years ago for freelancers.
I offer my help and services on the coding side of things if anyone is good with UI but sucks at coding ;-)
I'll pitch in 100SBD, 200SBD and 100SBD.
I hope others who have been blessed with strong backing and steempower will consider adding onto this bounty reward.
:)
If this bounty gets bigger, I will do it all. It took me 2 weeks to do https://steemvoter.com/
Wished someone would do a bounty to help me get these projects up and running.
[Crowdfunding] Steem.Gifts and Steem.Market need Steemians help to become a reality!
I been trying for over a month to get some help but no such luck, yet.
same here ...

@ned I think it is important that you read my post about the new Steemit like platform that uses Bitcoin and was built by a reddit guy.
Please, check my wallet (100% SP) and post history, to understand where I am coming from.

Hi Ned, this is great but I just wanted to clarify how we claim bounties?
Are we playing till death, calling shotgun or putting ourselves forward for selection?
The Milestone 1 bounty will be paid up to three times for three different entries (each entry should be by a unique person or entity) until the bounty milestone is closed with 10 days notice.
The subsequent bounties for milestones 2 and 3 will be decided once at least one submission for Milestone 1 has been entered and its bounty has been delivered. Milestone 2 and 3 could be done by selection or by shotgun if the Milestone 1 winner wants to continue onto the subsequent milestones.
Well I'll step out of the ring for UI/UX.
But for anyone who's interested heres some inspiration to draw from...
Leading bounty sites
Nice to have features
I'm not a ruby expert but there is a ruby steem gem, and I think the foremost bounty site, used by "big" companies, has an opensource site: https://github.com/bountysource/core ruby api gem https://github.com/inertia186/radiator maybe someone will see this as a great way to mix and match.
I'd like to know this as well.
wow, actually? ready to eat milestone 1 reward
I have a suggestions , instead of 100% power on voting , why don't we split 30% to "View" a.k.a click at the post (like YouTube or others blogging site) , but as we already know there so many fake , plagiarism and copy pastor around the who click on the link can make option to "Downvote or flags" to erasing the rewards he "Accidently giving to non-original person" , so will he will get "Fined" or punishment for being a "Fake" or not using his "Original" contents , let say one fake post will cost you around 1SBD or 1steem power (Incase that person doesn't have any SBD or steem) , due to current update 5 votes per day really give a lot of struggle to us. So hopefully this will help take more viewers to our post and get paid not only upvote will pay you.
How to monitor or track , we have anti - plagiarism bot such as cheetah and More , for photography a verification with paper written down with steemit letter or the owner taking photo together with the subject (like I always do) might can help.
How about bug bounty I found in you're website .
Triple pay ? Double pay ?
This display bug is normal ?
It bugs like that sometimes I've noticed, but a refresh usually helps.
Awesome stuff I was a poker dealer and the bounty bonuses were great when motivating everyone to grow our cause!
Ned, how can I email you? I did the survey with you on Twitter. And had a problem with my deposit of Steem. I tried to contact you on Twitter but no reply .
Hi Ian I haven't run any surveys. It's possible you were dealing with this: https://steemit.com/steemit/@ash/psa-fake-steemit-ceo-certianassets-on-twitter-be-careful-trying-to-scam
Similar scam was happening with ETH a couple weeks back. Twitter ended up adding a Verified flag for Vitalik's legit Id. We should get Twitter to do same for leaders on STEEM.
Real Vitalik responding below:
and while we are at it add a verified sticker to Steemit accounts too.
Yeah this sucks I got burned. I made a post about it maybe you can like it or help me get it notice, hopefully I might make it back if it's picked up by a whale like your self or dinners will be pancakes for the next two weeks https://steemit.com/scam/@ian.wash/don-t-trust-anybody-on-the-internet-even-if-you-think-is-ned
Hi Ned. I am not an IT person so let me throw an idea in the form of a wish...I bought the domain steemkizz.com because I wish we made a big, specific effort to attract loads of teenagers who are currently posting music and other cool stuff on Facebook, Youtube, etc. They are potentially Steemit's future whales... Maybe a bespoke interface and some tweaking of the reward system would help attracting them. Another idea: it would be nice to have a quick and easy way to bulk invite our contacts (google, etc) to join Steemit...
i think this is a great idea !! A huge domain for new music and creators of videos, labels etc !! lets see this come together !!
My application for a bounty :-)
https://steemit.com/bounty/@steve-walschot/application-for-bounty-system-by-ned
great initiative thx.. how about splitting the bounty?
I'm more of an Almond Joy kinda guy..
Yeah, it's got nuts.
I've reviewed a number of steemtools recently and noticed some of the lower rep app developers have been paid virtually nothing for their work when looking at their "launch blogs". I thought it was a bit sad compared to the others guys who got paid thousands, hopefully this fixes the problem.
can you help me by sending some of those people my way in steemit.chat? my name on there is fuzzy. I would love to help support them.
@bitcoiner, @steemitqa & @johnerfx, there are some others but recall them of the top of my head
I have listed the names, the amount they got paid & the blog reference. This is only 15-20 from of the tools i reviewed so far there are like 75 apps now.
https://github.com/l0k1-smirenski/steemportal
I am already building up a python/piston based system, I already have a framework in place to target wx, gtk, qt and web interfaces and I am working on the gtk. Maybe other people can join in and get it up and running faster?
also, I need some help getting up and running. I am pretty sure that I can rapidly turn around financing for this:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@l0k1/seeking-seed-funding-a-business-proposal
A better living situation, a solid internet connection, and the ability to do any of several potential profitable enterprises. Assuming after I get my papers sorted out with this help, I probably can borrow from a local bank and completely repay.
On a side note, I have a suggestion for a protocol addition to Steem, or any (better still, all) blockchains, involving caching nodes and transaction broadcast onion routing:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@l0k1/getting-the-benefit-of-tor-for-all-blockchains-without-the-problems-of-tor
The same principle applies also to what I am hoping to become known for coining the term: Transient Blockchains - a blanket term that can include lightweight live updating caching nodes for users to run on their systems (and potentially give something back by relaying data back to the network as well). Bitmessage is a system that works like a blockchain, except the blocks auto-trim by having expiry times. This could be modified into an instant messaging platform as well, and with the proposed relay routing protocol addition, and block caching light nodes, this, Steem, bitmessage, every crypto, in fact, could become anonymised in one fell swoop.
The way I see it, Steem is the contemporary equivalent of the invention of ftp servers, or web servers, which are just a more powerful form of file server. Steem works off a blockchain, and distributes data between nodes, and if you are running a node (or a node cache, like I describe) you don't reveal what traffic you are pulling off the network. With the relaying function added, neither does anyone know where new transactions physically originate. It's a small thing to add, but with an incredible impact on security and privacy.
Look at this proposal @ned. https://steemit.com/languagetags/@leprechaun/use-iso-language-tags-for-steemit-is-multilingual
Hi @leprechaun - We actually have something along these lines already in the Steemit Wish List. The dev team does know this is a wanted feature, and I expect they will implement it as soon as they can. There are a lot of feature requests that people are asking for, so it is largely a matter of prioritization. Hopefully this bounty program that @ned has started will help incentivize more of these types of features to be added :)
What about charging SD to downvote posts as its obvious that one user is intentionally abusing, im sure you know which user I am speaking of, he has been doing this discourage and censor new steemit authors. I know its not a bounty but it could be implemented to help out with this problem.
There's No Flow in Steemit ~ Bounty Opportunity
Hi there @ned i think there might be something worth looking at in here !! regards to you and your team !! https://steemit.com/bounty/@luminousvisions/there-s-no-flow-in-steemit-bounty-opportunity#@gomeravibz/re-luminousvisions-re-alyssas-re-luminousvisions-there-s-no-flow-in-steemit-bounty-opportunity-20160904t230137174z
