July 2023 GMC Call for Bounty Applications - Deadline is July 15th

Bounty bounty

What is the nature of the proposed bounty?

Provide a small “thank you” to bounty writers that write successful bounties (accepted and completed by someone else).
The bounty bounty does not apply to really small bounties (under 100 RPL).

Must the results of this project be entirely open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?

N/A

Benefits - enter N/A where appropriate

This is a bit meta, so it’s benefits are inherited from the bounties it spurs.
Directly it may attract bounty writers and/or make bounty writers feel more valued.

Will the results of the completed bounty be open source?

N/A

Work and Verification

What steps would be entailed in completing the bounty? Do successful examples of such work exist elsewhere?

Happens alongside the completion of the proposed bounty.

How long is the proposed bounty available for? Is it awarded to the first team to successfully claim it, or is it in some way divided among all such successful claims in the proposed availability period?

Ongoing incentive.

Who will test any products submitted for claiming the bounty?

N/A

What is the acceptance criteria for awarding of the bounty?

When the proposed bounty is paid out, this would be completed too and paid out.

Payment

How much RPL is the applicant requesting for successful completion of the bounty?

2 RPL? Something along those lines. A relevant thank you, a small reason to not be lazy, but not enough to attract external spam.

Again - does not apply to small bounties under 100 RPL.

Conflict of Interest

Does the person or persons proposing the bounty have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if any member of the GMC would benefit directly financially from the successful completion of the bounty).

Sure - I write lots of bounties. I am a guaranteed winner b/c I want to be a smaller percentage and/or I get tips on completions.

Will the applicant, or any protocol or project in which the applicant has a vested interest (other than Rocket Pool), benefit financially if the bounty is successfully completed?

Yes, as stated above.
