The 3rd month of our renowned Github development program has concluded, and we’re happy to see some new names! To all newcomers — welcome and we hope to see everyone contributing on a regular basis, and thanks to all the regulars for providing valuable fixes and improvements!

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 is now a PERMANENT bounty program! You can get involved anytime you want and this bounty program will run indefinitely.

April 1st — April 30th 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)
