## Devs Alert!
Let's try this experiment:
I'm going to try to boost productivity of the development of [SatShoot](https://satshoot.com) this way:
1. Will create Tickets in SatShoot pointing to [GitHub issues](https://github.com/Pleb5/satshoot/issues)
2. Share it as kind1 for everyone to see
3. Waiting for aspiring open-source devs to bid on these issues in SatShoot
Why not just post bounties you may ask?
I don't believe bounties are a good way to incentivize development.
You start to work on sth and _hope_ to win the bounty. If you don't win you don't make money, your time is mostly wasted. Only one person or team can win because that's easier to handle for the poster of the bounty. So you don't bother, it's too much risk.
You need the precommitment from the job poster but he needs competition to hire the best dev available. This is why contract negotiation works better than bounties.
However, you can get the competitive nature of bounties with SatShoot: Everyone interested will bid on the Ticket. You can negotiate with the potential Client in DM and even edit things until you come to agreement BUT ANYONE CAN BID on Tickets as long as they are NOT taken. Competition and contract negotiation.
A Ticket in SatShoot is essentially a Request For Quote and an Offer is a Bid or a Quote to solve that problem. I think this model captures best what nostr is about:
Open competition in an Unstoppable market fueled by freedom tech.
What do you guys think? Let me know and I'll be excited to run this experiment!
