So I just Selected an answer for the bounty I posted: https://bountify.co/G

I got two good answers pretty quickly, which made it a bit hard to choose. I selected the one that used the most standard libs, instead of the first answer. I sent the first responder a tip as thanks.

Some thoughts now that I've used it: - Got two good answers quickly - loved that part. Saved me a lot of time. I'm going to use it again immediately for a the same thing in PHP (https://bountify.co/H).

- How about the ability to copy/clone a bounty so I don't have to rewrite the whole thing? Just a thought.

- I felt as though the price you add to tipping is a bit excessive. It was $1 per increase ( $.99 for a $1 tip, $1.99 for a $5 tip, $2.99 for a $10 tip).



I'm glad you got solutions so quickly!

I've also had a hard time selecting a winning solution when several correct ones are posted. I'd like to avoid duplication of effort by solution providers when possible, but finding a way to do that is tricky (I plan to at least implement a 'view count' to give would-be solution providers an idea of how many others have seen the problem).

Thanks for the feedback regarding the tip fees. I'm considering reducing them, as I want to encourage tipping as much as possible (especially considering that tips are often awarded to solutions which may be as good as the winning solution, and I want to encourage rewarding those efforts so that good solution providers stay around).

Cheers!
