Hey, I'm from Bountysource and saw you're having troubles -- sorry about that.

Can you tell me where you're getting stuck? Which method are you using to sign up (or sign in)? What browser/OS?

Open source gets its own crowd-funding site, with bounties included

Re:Poll: how much would you pay to get issues resolved on GitHub? on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @06:01PM (#5828943)

Great idea. At Bountysource.com we have a plugin for GitHub that automatically updates issues with bounty details when they exist (adds a link to the bounty in the issue body, bounty total to issue title and a special label). This needs to be installed by a project committer though. I'd love to see a Bountysource Chrome/Firefox extension, maybe we should put a bounty out for one :P

Re:Poll: how much would you pay to get issues resolved on GitHub? on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @05:57PM (#5828913)

This is exactly what https://www.bountysource.com/ does. Any number of people can contribute to the bounty pool. When a developer submits a solution that gets merged into the project and the issue itself is closed, that developer collects the bounty.

For example, here's an issue with 11 backers: https://www.bountysource.com/#issues/27-split-pane-feature

...and here's a bounty over $1100 with 5 backers: https://www.bountysource.com/#issues/315019-add-a-tiling-win...
