pegasosforum.de: Vote on bounty projects
After the adoption of a bounty system was decided on the Pegasos forum several weeks ago, they first collected ideas for various projects and now want to determine the five most popular bounties by means of a vote.
Information on the individual projects can be found in the so-called Bounty Bay. Every registered member of the Pegasos forum has three votes and can vote for one project in each case in three different votings. (1. choice, 2. choice, 3. choice). It is allowed to vote for the same project three times. After 21 days, the votings will end and the results will be evaluated.
The five bounties that receive the most votes in this voting will then be enabled first - that is, users can then donate money for these projects and developers can apply for a development commission. (cg) (Translation: cad)
