Qdrant rewards contributions on tasks marked with the “bounty” label. https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/issues?q=label%3A%22%F0%9F%... Made possible with service https://algora.io

Great to see the bounty amounts are also transparent https://console.algora.io/org/Qdrant

huge privilege to have you on our platform, thank you qdrant team! hope more rustaceans find this useful :)

The 23% cut the platform takes is killing the value proposition, what am I missing?

We're currently self hosting our bounties (https://mudlet.org/bounty) and that is working out alright.

hey Vadim, i'm one of the founders at algora. fees are lower for non-commercial projects like mudlet https://docs.algora.io/bounties/payments#pricing we'd love to hear from you & better understand your needs. the problem we have identified is low trust + high friction in paid open source. the platform solves the problem & adds value in the following ways:

- discovery (new contributors)

- workflow (/bounty and /claim commands in issues & PRs, Github bot)

- payments (fast: autopay on merge | safe & compliant: Stripe)

- logistics (invoices, summaries, 1099s for US-based solvers)

- visibility (public history, leaderboards, org pages, activity feed)

- new use cases (/tip, /split, hiring, content bounties ++)
