Comment on Ask HN: Would issue “bounties” make contributing to open source more appealing?

Comments

This is not a solved issue and bounties simply result in a lot of free work with no assurance of being paid, and there is nothing the company can do to fix that which doesn’t result in the company being taken advantage of.

There is no way to compensate based on code amount or code commits or anything.

Feel free to change my view! But basically you just need to sign on everyone and pay them based on time with bonuses based on milestones. Or just hire people the normal and time consuming way.
