RFP: 0001 Title: Particl Cold Staking Pool Author: CryptoGuard & Paul Schmitzer Status: Active Created: 2018-01-31
Create a cold staking pool for users to delegate their staking power to a pool operator in exchange for smaller payouts. Once completed, the code shall be open-sourced for anyone to inspect/audit.
The recent cold staking hardfork has enabled the possibility to set up cold staking pools where operators cannot run with their users' coins.

Oh yeah, that was 100 PARTs total I had in mind, I don't know what kind of budget we could allocate for this, hopefully as you say a couple of thousands which is what I think is needed to attract quality devs nowadays (else they'll go code something for some multi million ICO).
Having it split over several milestone is good imo, would you prefer we do it as one single reward? Splitting it allows for better collaboration perhaps, so for example we could get one skilled dev working together with a skilled web dev and they could just split it up.
I like having whoever takes the bounty indicating his own estimate for costs. So for example, if he says this is going to cost about ~$1,000, we can allocate the funds for it and then add whatever bounty reward we decide on top of the costs...This way, whoever decides to work on the project doesn't have to be cheap or botch the job to get a bigger cut of the bounty (as the more expensive it gets, the less percentage of the reward goes to him and the more goes to pay the costs). So definitely I would at least try asking for an estimate from the bounty taker this time, and then add our bounty on top.
Can you get a confirmation on how much PARTs we want to allocate to this POP?
