I can give 50 000 SLM
That's a good start! ArchitektoR also has already anonnounced bounties in this order of magnitude. I think we would need some ~5-10 more SLM whales to do the same and we had a respectable amount (500000+).
For now, all announced bounties together are
SLM130.000. We actually can, as a maximum, consider 0.00001 BTC or 1000 satoshi per SLM a realistic price (last BTER price was 230 satoshi bid and 1572 ask). That would mean that all bounties are worth ~
1,3 BTC; seems not enough, I think - developers are not cheap. And it's an optimistic price as we are currently not on an exchange.
Of course, we all know that a bug-free and well-maintained SLM could be worth much more (I expect at least a market cap of 100.000 USD, if not a million).
Perhaps not all members of the Slimcoin community would want to disclose their "whale" status.
So if someone wants to stay anonymous but offer a bounty, he/she can send me a PM with the amount he/she is wanting to donate to development of SLM and if it's for a particular purpose. I'll respect your privacy and won't give the names publicly.
I list the actually most severe bugs:
- The Linux client stuck bug - I think that's the most severe as most crypto businesses use Linux;
- High memory usage in some situations
- Windows GUI client crashes
These bugfixes would result in a really usable 0.3 client. Next step would be to fix the "stuck bug" (may be related to the 0.3 bug) from gjhiggins' SLM 0.4.
If you are a developer and are interested, write me a PM too.
