Show of interest: Bug bounty fund raising

RJDan

I would like to try to encourage work on some apps but I can't fork out huge sums of money so it would be good if the user community could all contribute to raising some funds to pay the bounty.

I thought maybe we could (for the moment) get an idea of who on the forum would be willing to put some money toward a bug bounty?

The details are very very prelim at the moment but it could look something like this:

We see how many people can contribute to a round of funding
We decide what kind of work we can cover (big bounty, small bounty etc)
We submit suggestions for an app/bug and then the contributing members vote on the app/bug
We (somehow) send the money to the app maintainer and ask that they please work on these things

For now, I would just ask if you feel your can contribute something toward a bounty, just give me sign that you exist.

@RJDan Well we only know if we can contribute once we know what payment methods will be available..

Hi RJDan,

As I understand it, UT is not intended to be just another operating system for smartphones and mobile devices, but rather to guarantee users their own personal device.
This would mean that users themselves are responsible for what happens on and with their devices.

The basis for this is prepared and provided by the UBports Foundation.
The operating system with simple basic apps.
This basis should be largely supported by data protection and the simple, uncomplicated, even trivial use of a mobile device.

This means that the core programmers cannot take care of the apps that the community wants. And actually, we have been lacking more core programmers for a long time, even though this operating system has so many fans.

This means that it is not enough to simply raise money; the programmer or programmers for an app project would also have to be sought and found.
And that will probably be more difficult than raising money.

But very, very few things are impossible.
Therefore, I wish you every success in achieving your heart's desires.

Greetings
Mario
