### Massive Thanks to the Amazing Aragon Team for starting this project! Original repo **[here](https://github.com/aragon/autobounty)**
|
|
|
|
#### Status Autobounty bot for OpenBounty
|
|
A Github bot that will automatically fund issues that are labelled with **[bounty](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abountyy)**.
|
|
These bounties will use [Status OpenBounty](https://openbounty.status.im/) to incentivize community members to participate and contribute to the development of Open Source Software projects like Status, Riot and Aragon.
|
|
|
|
Open source is awesome, but it is also hard work that needs to be rewarded to ensure top quality work. It's also important that everyone in the world gets a fair chance to do it.
|
|
|
|
#### 🦋 We at Status, Aragon and Riot are using [OpenBounty](https://openbounty.status.im/) to reward open source contributions outside our Core teams.
|
|
All issues tagged with **[bounty](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abounty)** are eligible for a bounty on a succesfully merged Pull Request that solves the issue. Currently bounties have to be funded one after the other and manually by a real human being. This bot's purpose in life is therefore to create and automate the process of funding issues so that contributors can be rewarded accordingly.
|
|
|
|
#### The process
|
|
|
|
- An **[issue](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues)** is created at the repo
|
|
- Issue is labeled with **[bounty](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abounty)**
|
|
- [Status OpenBounty](https://openbounty.status.im/) bot adds a bounty to the issue and it is displayed in the issue's comments
|
|
- This autobounty bot automatically funds that issue with a set amount of Ether based on another label decribing the size of the bounty based roughly on how many hours the team feels it will take to complete * the rate per hour they are willing to pay. When a successful Pull Request is merged, the contributor is paid that amount for their work autonomously, transparently and programmatically by the smart contract itself - no middle men involved at all.
