What do you mean? You are the repo owner and you set up issues with a specific value, then whoever submits a pull request (merged) for those issues automatically gets paid.

Or maybe I didn't properly understand how it works?

I was thinking more along of the lines of sferik's situation, where someone other than the repo owner funded the rewards. I certainly am not interested in paying anyone to improve any of my projects, but if any were valuable, a third party might.
