I am just noticing this now.
To place a bounty on a topic all you need to do is go to your wallet and send any amount of Steem or SBD to @steem-bounty. Place the topic url in the memo section with nothing else included.
To give out the bounty all you have to do is upvote comments in the topic the bounty was placed on. Everyone who gets upvoted wins a share of the bounty.
95 % of the bounty that is placed on a topic is paid out via the bounty creator. The other 5 % gets paid out via the community upvotes.
The bounty is then shared between everyone who got an upvote on the same day the topic reaches its payout date.
- If you have anymore question ask away and I will do my best to answer them.
