That probably ideal game theoretically. It's putting up a bond.
It does introduce new problems: complicated UX and makes having sats a prereq. I'm not sure SN's bounty economy is ready for that, but it's probably the terminal state of a healthy bounty economy.
"Pledging sats" would mean you would need to already have money in order to earn money... (And it is difficult to find work for Bitcoin recently.)
For what it's worth, if I see that someone else has started to work on the bounty, I cancel my attempt.
