What is a Bounty?

You know how in the old west the Sheriff would put up a bounty for someone to catch the horse thief?

Sheriff says "Wanted: Horse Thief, Dead or Alive" - $100.
Imagine the Sheriff takes his $100 to the banker to put in the bank. The banker also wants the thief caught and adds $50 to the bounty. He tells the horse rancher about it who also throws in another $50. Now there is a $200 bounty.

Bounty hunter has MOTIVATION.
Bounty hunter catches the horse thief.
Bounty hunter goes to the bank and gets paid.
Sheriff is happy, townspeople are happy, bounty hunter is happy, the world is simply a better place.
At BountyUp its the same thing. If you want something done, you are the Sheriff. You define exactly what it is that you want. Bounty up what it's worth to you, then tell all the other people that might be interested in seeing the bounty closed (the townspeople) so that they can bounty up some cash too.
If you're a bounty hunter, look at some of the bounties and see which ones you can close!
Bounty Up holds the money until someone closes it or the bounty expires. If nobody closes the bounty by the time the bounty expires, everyone gets their money back.
Either way, you're happy, they're happy, and the world is simply a better place.
If you have any questions, ASK!
