How It Works

Post your question with a bounty, get answers from the community, and accept the first correct answer. If no answer is accepted within the expiration time, you get your money back.


When posting a question, you have to specify a bounty amount, an expiration time as well as a detailed description of the criteria for an answer to be "accepted". This criteria is used by admins in case of an dispute in order to ensure that the bounty is paid to the correct person. You have to pay the bounty before posting the question, but if no correct answer is posted within the expiration time you will get a full refund.
