I think we all agree PaulyC should be made whole as he was the first to report this. Usually bounties are for the first, not sure what the feeling is about newcn's being second. There is value in confirmation, so maybe half credit?
We can't make a policy out of this, but I feel that during this critical time it is important to show the world what the NXT community is.
There are the payment fees that doesn't currently have, nor do I expect will have a team that can make a realistic claim to have added value to that feature. This creates a certain amount of the community fund that would be discretionary. The actual process of collection and disbursement of the community fund has not been completed yet, but as soon as this year gets into full gear I expect that the kinks will be worked out.
Since I seem to be the only one pushing this idea, I guess it is up to me to make discretionary calls, but I want to get people's feedback on the bounty for newcn's confirmation of this hack.
For anybody that wants to directly contribute to the community fund, all donations are welcome. I couldn't get any volunteers to deal with the logistics of all this, so I will coordinate it for now. I will disclose all contributions and disbursements. For now just post your contribution to the community fund and I will confirm receipt or if you want to do it anonymously, PM me your contribution and your contribution will be listed as from anonymous. If you want your contribution to be spread over a period of time, please state the time period.

P.S. The more in the community fund, the more people like wesleyh, ferment, nexern, etc. will be rewarded and this in turn will get more and more people improving NXT instead of working OT at their real jobs
