New forum - Will it use all funds?

[cryptopaths]

Will the new forum use exactly the amount that was raised? Or more or less?

I'm sure they'll use whatever they need sir. Which will probably mean more than normally needed.

When they first put up the bounty, BTC was around $2-5. $20-$50k for custom forum software was pretty reasonable. But as it hit $1000 / per coin, $10MM for it just got a bit excessive.

But it's a bounty, it was set. It'd be the same as scamming if they were to change the the deal.

The new forum software will cost about 1 million USD.

On the other hand, there are about 6800 btc in the forum fund.

I bet they will use a lot, it is going to cost a lot to make a brand new Forum Software, plus it is going to be open source so everybody can use it, I doubt they are going to be skimpy about it. Then again, with over 1 Million in donations, there is bound to be some left over.

I don't think they can over spend seeing as they wouldn't have the funds available.
