A bounty system where the community proposes a task and someone completes it. Same thing like a government looks for bids for a project.

So this would be something like "deliver and then get paid", right? Or at least "get paid everytime you complete a major step in the developement of the project". To me it looks like a great idea, as this would have at least two huge advantages:

1. not giving money to someone for nothing - if you don't deliver you don't get anything
2. making the DHF more fair - if you are good and deliver what we asked, you get the money; if you aren't good but have a lot of friends on Hive... you don't get the money.

DHF dev overwatch to check if they are delivering for the amount of pay they are getting.

I like that too, even if this looks harder to implement. The "watchers" must be indipendent, with no links with the developers, and have themselves some sort of "watchers" above them, as otherwise the risk of them colluding with someone to cheat the system would be too high.

We would need more levels of safety:

• proposal to develope something we need on Hive (i.e. a bridge)
• payment offered for that work and requirements to get the money (i.e. a working bridge towards some major chains, audited by someone)
• a third party checks the work done by the developers and confirm if they are doing what they were asked and if they are eligible for the money
• a second layer of "watchers" verify the work done by the "first watchers", ensuring they are doing a good work and not colluding with some developers
• the community is updated on the work done by the developers and on the checks done by the watchers, thus allowing the community to always be aware of how the money are used, rise questions and, ultimately, stop everything if there's something unclear
