Yes, I imagine some users will filter for 'bounty included' posts to try and answer as much questions as they have knowledge in (to make money in the platform).

The OP on Stack Overflow marks it as the answer.

All good ideas though.

Also stackoverflow almost always has a "best answer". I don't know if  the OP selects it, or the users or the algorithm.

This will be another way to monetize stackernews, in a paid-quora/ask-experts kind of way.

- the "best answer" can get the bounty automatically.
- the 'bounty post' can have a special icon (like the pin post).
