Attach 💵 bounty to feature request

Given some of us are developing software that users are willing to pay for and sometimes with a lot of money...
I had this idea where people could upvote a feature request with money.
e.g.
> Develop a Salesforce integration
> initial bounty: 2000$
This would be a hard commitment with credit card.
Anyone could bump the bounty.
You manage the transactions and keep a fee, ala Kickstarter. 🎉

Wonder if this could be done by some integration with Bountysource? (Have used bountysource in the past and they are compatible with Github issues where you can just easily put a bounty on any Github issue. But the project that I want to support doesn't have their Github issues public, only has Canny)

Sounds like another startup idea to me, nice idea but rather tricky

This would be amazing. For some technical projects, the financial commitment could be quite large. For example, Expo - I'd be willing to pay $500 for some features that would take me at least that much time in dollars to implement.
A hard commitment is way more credible.

It could be in Bitcoin! :)

I like the idea of being able to associate money with a feature request. This would basically let Canny keep track of "X said they'd pay $Y for Z feature". At a certain stage, it becomes difficult (and expensive) to keep track of financial commitments.
The hard commitment with credit card is too aggressive and out of scope, for now at least.
