From Vincent's link[1], I see that this is
intended, as it is actually the
system's philosophy which is OK in theory, but
it is also obvious that it
can be abused.
"Once the issue is officially solved the sponsors can verify whether their
problem is really gone (according to the established criteria) and pay the
developer - otherwise they can just walk away.
*This is very important*: there is nothing on the system forcing anybody to
pay anything. There are no escrows and no pre-paid credits whatsoever. This
is not an implementation detail – it’s by philosophy.
The whole thing is *voluntary* to begin with. We want sponsors to pay the
developers because they feel grateful for their work, tipically after their
problem is actually solved."
Of course, if they did try to handle this issue technically, it would have
been pretty complex to decide when the task was complete according to the
sponsor's intention and established criteria. I guess they preferred to
have a (hypothetical) frustrated dev that was expecting a payoff for an
issue rather than having a (hypothetical) frustrated sponsor that payed for
something that was not quite what he wanted :)
Anyway, I still think it would not hurt to try it and see how it goes.
Thanks,
Eduard

At that point if the site does not block the money then it's risky

Hi,
Yes, I really like the fact that it's integrated with jira and that
everything is contextualized.
However, I am a bit reserved about the success it is going to have,
since,
AFAIU, there is nothing stopping people from
spam-funding issues they
want
fixed, but in the end decide that they are not
going to fund any of the
work that has been done. Hope that will not be the case and that devs
will
be aware of this possibility and will primarily
do it for the fun :)
Anyway, I like the idea and I`m definitely +1 for trying it out.
Thanks,
Eduard
