Georgem, I was just thinking, maybe instead of doing a competition, we could incentivize community involvement on Spreadcointalk under certain important discussions. Every relevant and useful post gets "X" SPR, limited one payment per day per person for as long as funds last.
I could tally the amounts so you don't have to send coins every day. Payments would be received at the fund's end (on the leger I keep).

First of all, you can do with your SPR whatever you want. If you want to go ahead with this idea, just do it!
We'll both be wiser afterwards.
But while the left side of my brain likes this idea,
my right side says that it would be wrong to incentivize people to contribute to discussions because they want to get payed.
It sends the wrong message, and it will make them stop posting once the juice runs out.
No, I think people that want to post should post because they have something to say. That should drive them enough, and if this drive isn't there, why fuel it with SPR?
A "fun and games" competition on the other hand will attract everybody that just wants to be distracted from real life for a few minutes, lol.
And it helps further establish our "mascot"!
Next to a competition, what other interesting bounties could we set up?
I had thought about that a bit too... I guess I figured once people were over in Spreadcointalk and the conversations were rolling, they would be far easier to carry on, and people would forget about the microsalary but still post lol.
I definitely still enjoy the Mr. Spread competition ideas.
I think another competition idea would be to put up a few pictures of Mr. Spread and see who can come up with the best caption (by community vote).
The other thing that I thought of was best Spreadcoin Related gif/meme... sort of like the one you made with the dude axing the door a while back.
The latter sort of doubles as great branding and thus could be deserving of a bounty.
I have a few ideas in my head for gifs & memes with Spreadcoin, but have zero know-how on making them. Like this could be made into Smeagol holding the Spreadcoin symbol!
I can't think of much else for bounties because I'm under the impression they should provide some value to the community/ project (i.e. translations, branding, etc.)
