Hey all,

Here is a project that implemented a bug bounty program:

Bounty Page: http://www.tarsnap.com/bugbounty.html

Results: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2011-08-26-1265-dollars-of-tarsnap-bugs.html

Kind of a cool idea

I don't think it would be reasonable for us to pay that high of a price. His is a smaller project, and he had more cash than we do. But on a smaller level (maybe $1 per minor, $2 per normal $10 per major, $25 for blockers) or something would be more in order
