NYDIG is paying bounties for selected tasks in Bitcoi>n codebases which are great starting points for those unaccustomed to Bitcoin development as well as important but often under-prioritized by the existing community of developers.
Today we announced the launch of our Bitcoin Task Bounty Program, established to spur and cultivate #Bitcoin development. Upon completion and acceptance of selected tasks by the community, programmers will be paid by
@NYDIG_BTC. More on the process here: https://nydig.com/bounties

I’m always curious are these bounties in line with the hourly salary of a developer. The average salary is $48 an hr. So the last bounty someone can complete it in 37.5 hours. Seems like these tasks take longer than a weeks worth or development
I am of the opinion that these bounties offered, globally, will result in sufficient talent to be found, and successful completion of the work, at the amounts offered.
Awsome find, added it to our list - https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/bitcoin-bounty/
Hope some plebs get to pick up those sats
Nice list!

Each bounty on the site includes an estimated time to completion. Many are quoted as only a few hours of work, some are a few days.

The best and most motivated talent who might accomplish this for this may not be in an area where "the average salary is $48 an hr."
Yea that’s what I mean if you want a bounty put real capital behind it! NYDig putting out crumbs that anyone with real skills won’t tackle
