The second Github bounty program of the year has ended. We would like to give a big round of applause to all contributors, especially the ones who recently joined this bounty program — welcome aboard! During February there were more than 20 community developers who got at least 1 merged Pull-Request, and the total number of community PRs merged was over 90.

In 2018 we introduced new rules. One is that bounties will be pegged to USD value at the time of payout so you will be less prone to market swings. Also, this now a PERMANENT bounty program! You can get involved anytime you want and it will run indefinitely.

March 1st — March 31st Rewards will be:

1st : $2,000 USD

2nd: $1,500 USD

3rd: $1,000 USD

4th–6th: $250 USD / each

7th+ : $50 / each

(+ all merged PR’s are eligible for $10)
