From creator: I recently finished my site QABounty. I would get annoyed when I could not get anyone to answer my questions on sites like Stack Overflow so I created this site, https://qabounty.com/. It is basically your standard QA site but you attach a USD $$ bounty to questions. For example I have a question up at: https://qabounty.com/questions/w... The best answer for that question will award that user 3 coins (which can be withdrawn for about $3). I plan on adding my own questions of the day for a while, basically giving money away for a while hoping people use it for their own questions eventually. If you want to make a quick $3 though and check out my idea please go to the site and try to answer the question! Let me know what you think! I am also looking for a designer as well after I see if people like the idea.. I used Stripe's new withdraw to debit card feature so you don't have to use bank account info to withdraw your "bounty" (money you get for answering questions)... Please give me some feedback on the site/idea!

The name "QABounty" is misleading. I expected this to be a site where you QA for money, similar to BountySource.

@rrhoover I thought similarly, but seems he is going for Question & Answer Bounty.

Really cool idea. Stackoverflow with $$$. We are doing something similar with Onarbor, https://onarbor.com. Might you be interested in talking more? Perhaps there's a way we can collaborate, my email is tim@onarbor.com. Would be super interested in hearing more.

I absolutely love this idea - wondering about the main differences between it and Clarity.fm?

It looks like it requires some moderation/curation for the content.Something to solve when building a Q\A answers is how to avoid questions like "How to use it?" "Hello" "Is it cool?" that people ask to test the service while actually killing your service;) Here are my few learning from Enquire: - Avoid Empty Effect => Generate the first questions to be sure that people know which kind of questions you expect in the service - Works on THE guiding sentence of the "ask" features to be sure that your users will know what to ask. "title" or "ask your question" "text are not enough!! - Curate everything at the beginning to avoid "testing" questions
