#bountysource never payed at least 21.000 $ to #opensource developers before going #bankrupt

Today I found out that #bountysource is insolvent and you should not use it github.com/bountysource/core/issues/1586

2023-12-21

Bountysource stopped paying out recently, so we've set up a new system.

Check out the debate on our Community Portal: community.mautic.org/assemblie.

This is implemented for GitHub issues, but it might expand into other teams and non-code tasks later.

As a Mautic member, you can support those who fix important issues for you or those you want to get sorted.

🌗 我們無法取得約6000歐元的賞金
➤ 一個開源開發平臺失去賞金,作者無法追討賠償
newpipe.net/blog/pinned/announ
該文章報導了作者在Bountysource上的賬戶失去了約6000歐元的賞金。Bountysource 是一個用於開源開發賞金放置的平臺,但目前該網站的後端已停止運行且不再回應通信。作者表示由於法律費用和時間成本高昂且目前無暇應付法律訴訟,因此無法追討失去的賞金。
+ 真是太可惜了,希望能夠找到一種解決方案來追回這筆賞金。
+ 好慘啊,這些賞金可能會對團隊的發展有所幫助。

I've now been waiting over 3 months for a #Bountysource cash-out request over $100. Their support has been ghosting me for two months, this is getting a bit ridiculous. Anyone else with similar experiences, any ideas? It's probably not worth lawyering up over that amount... 🙄

Irgendwie verstehe ich das bei #bountysource nicht. Warum muss ich da einen Account erstellen um etwas zu unterstützen? Das ist so, als würde ich einem Penner auf der Straße ein paar Groschen in den Kaffeebecher schmeißen und der sagt mir, dass er das Geld nur nimmt, wenn ich in sein Freundebuch schreibe. Ich will doch nur 'n 10er da lassen und weitergehen. Dann halt nicht!

I've created a bounty for porting #AdiumX to the modern era (~ #AppleSilicon port):
app.bountysource.com/issues/11

#macOS #OpenSource #Messenger #BountySource #CrowdFunding

... if some doesn't know what adium is: adium.im/ - it's a classic, customizable multi protocol instant messenger for macOS :)

Anyone know of any GOOD platforms to handle monetary bounties for bugfixes/features (not necessarily security related). I can only find shady and weird companies/services. Something like
but w/o any crypto involvement.

I wish had this feature builtin. GitHub sponsors is similar, but not the same. I want to be able to set up bounties attached to specific tickets/bugs/features.

please boost!

is excellent, but porting the to the new -system of 78+ requires massive effort.

The excellent ++ allows persistent notes (, yellow sticky notes) on single emails. The developer can't do the port and asks for support on to encourage someone to do the porting:

bountysource.com/issues/921605
addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/t

bitte teilen

ist exzellent, aber die Portierung der auf das neue -System von 78+ benötigt meist massiven Aufwand.

Die exzellente ++ ermöglicht persistente Notizen (gelbe Klebezettel) an einzelnen Emails. Der Entwickler kann die Portierung nicht übernehmen und bittet auf um Unterstützung um jemanden zu ermutigen die Portierung zu übernehmen:

bountysource.com/issues/921605

Does anyone else feel like #GitHub is becoming *too* powerful?

What #Bountysource did sure sucks, though. I wonder if there's something else one could use with no friction, other than GitHub Sponsors.

On nous a demandé si nous /pouvions rapidement mettre en place de nouvelles fonctionnalités dans #Liberapay afin qu'il puisse remplacer #Bountysource, qui a fait des choses louches. Nous ne pouvons pas et nous ne voulons pas. Encourager les gens à payer pour un problème spécifique à résoudre est problématique, cela crée de mauvaises incitations au lieu de fournir un financement stable pour la bonne maintenance et le bon développement d'un projet.
