Welcome to Crowd Bounty
Not Much Else To Say...
Feel free to look around at your leisure, though there is not much here yet.
I am doing my best to get this done, but there is a lot left to be done.
The Goals of this site are as follows
|
V
Firstly!
To make a platform that will make the process of placing a bounty much more simple, and trustable.
In our current state it is very hard to hunt bounties, as they are very few, and far between. When they do appear though, they are usually hard to spot, as it is usually just assumed by one mention, or video.
However, even if the stars align, and you hear about a bounty you want to chase, you have no way of confirming whether or not the benefactor will actually come through.
This aims to fix these problems, and begin to make bounty hunting a thing people can do in their pass time, rather than being a special event that only happens when someone big gets involved.
Noteable
Thing
Penguinz0 started doing something like this a while ago. I thank him for that, as I likely would not have started this otherwise.
It is a similar idea, although this is more for the general audience since most of us do not have $10,000.
As in my opinion, the people wishing to see it, should be the ones to request it.
Secondly!
Making A Return Of Bounty Hunters!
Although you certainly can play games for a living, I have found that in the case of speed-running, we are unable to keep an audience very well due to the amount of grinding required. This being the case, many speed-runners have left speed-running full time, in the preference of doing creative challenges.
Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic, and I think that without that type of content, speed-running would not be as well known as it is. However, this has caused the people who do put in the grind speed-running to be left behind.
I am not sure if having bounties will increase viewership of speed-runs & challenges, but it will give runners a motivation to continue, and hopefully bring us to new heights of expertise.
Thirdly!
Making The Process Simpler & Helping With The Legal
Side
It’s pretty confusing the way it currently is. The amount of clarification of anything is always in the hands of the people placing it.
Anything that must be done in preparation, must be done by them.
This is fine, but I feel if we make it more streamlined. We will not only make it easier for bounty hunters, but also for people to place bounties.
Another problem with having everyone each plan their own things, is that it is then not always obvious what money goes where. For some reason bounties/prizes are taxable, but it may not be obvious to the person receiving it. (I certainly didn’t know till I started work on this).
So having a back-end, that can keep track of requirements, amounts, and completions. Then it will not only be much faster, but also less stressful for the parties involved.
Details about how everything will work are going to wait until I have more of it completed.
This is a big project, and although I have a lot of ideas
I don't want to promise something I won't deliver.
If you have any suggestions, or want to help, be sure to send me a message!
I need all the help I can get.
