I understand your ramblings, but if you look at bounties, the project doesn't have the funds initially, most of the time the project started from scratch when they announced it. So what are they going to escrows or where do the money should come when in the first place they don't have any.
I understand our suggestions, but I don't think it will be effective for the 99% of the projects that we have right now.
Exactly, but projects managers need to understand that they need to have some capital to start a project. If they don't have enough funds to start a project, they shouldn't start or organize bounty campaigns. People can't waste their time promoting projects and do not get paid for their effort. Personally, I think moderators on this forum can put something in place to avoid project managers from making a fool out of Bounty hunters.
