202 sats \ 2 replies \ @Signal312 22 Jul \ on: Why not post more bounties? alter_native
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think bounties on Stacker.News should be made far more discoverable.
I did bounties a couple times. I knew I could make them, because of course I'd seen them.
But each time, I had to search for a long time, on how to set them up. I kept on looking at the options section, after you've created the post. It absolutely seemed to me that it HAD to be there, because the options that were there, seemed very "bounty-like".
I just checked the FAQ, and also couldn't find anything on how to set up a bounty.
How could the FAQ be made better? There's honestly a lot of simple things that are really difficult to figure out how to do, on Stacker News. Maybe make the FAQ editable? Right now (is this correct?) it looks like it's from 2021?

I sometimes click Discussion instead of the more types drop down and end up creating an entire post for a bounty...with no bounty attached. (I think I did this last Word of Mouth Wednesday)...so I do agree that it can be a little hard to find. Sure do love bounties, though.

Me too, I think bounties - with REAL MONEY - are an outstanding idea. The real money part is big - it's not just the "reputation" that you get in StackOverflow.
And lots more people would use them if there were more familiarity with them.
