Come on. Be Real. The bounty is tiny. 2,000,000 DOPE at 30 satoshi = 0.6 BTC = $200 USD. Anyone smart enough to build a decentralized exchange is going to realize that they can make $200 in a day or two doing some other easy work and buy 2,000,000 DOPE. If someone can't make $200 in a few days then they aren't smart enough to build a decentralized exchange.
Your forgetting the rise it would have upon being created/worked on. There are plenty of people who can see the value of such a system. The $200 , turns into $20,000 you just never know.
There are 10000 other coins to join, you could start a new blockchain or you could start a new counterparty token. It's getting to the point where investors don't care if devs do a 100% premine and sell off 10% to start development. This bounty is never going to be claimed until decentralized markets are so common that every coin has one and they can be built in a day.
I just don't see every coin having it for a bit. We'll be first movers ( trailblazers ) providing a real p2p decentralized marketplace.
I'm fine waiting for a year until decentralized markets are common and then building up a good user base but I would prefer option #1. #1 could be started tomorrow and will attract more than 1 person/group of people who want to try to build a decentralized exchange/fork of open bazaar.
I suspect this is going to take alot less time then I expected. After talking to a dev this won't be hard to implement. We just have to discuss a few small things and we are on our way. The suggestion you said isn't bad either , but maybe a tad extreme lol ... Who knows maybe we can do it all
The bounty page will be for anyone who wants to do a bounty toward an idea.
Edit:I forgot to mention we'll be redoing the main website also most likely and getting part of a shopping cart system here shortly. A lot of movement happening.
