Summary

• Users could design / draw a custom clover and register it as a bounty
• The bounty comes with a CC reward that is locked up in the contract
• Could be locked up for a certain amount of time and the user can withdraw after that period
  • Otherwise what happens to bounties on Clovers that are impossible / never found?
• Other users could contribute to the bounty in one of the following ways
  • Pure donation
    • Money just goes to whoever finds it, original poster gets to keep it
  • Competing contribution
    • This could be like a dollar auction where only the highest bidder gets to keep the Clover and all other bidders lose their bid to the bounty hunter (my fav)
    • or the other bidder is allowed to withdraw their funds if outbid
    • or the other bidder is allowed to withdraw some percentage of their funds
• Pigs should be capable of searching for a specific Clover or set so that they look for all bounties
  • Probably better to be selective about which ones because it will slow the pig down to iterate through all bounties
• Pigs should maybe be offered as a desktop app or as a cloud service
• Once the Bounty is fulfilled the hunter can use the front-running resistant method of registering the Clover and claiming the reward.
  • Could also opt to not fulfill the bounty and hold on to the Clover
  • Bounties that exist for Clovers that have already been registered become OBOs
  • Should OBOs work like dollar auctions too? It's actually a pretty good deterrent to auction griefing...
