Feature idea: pay people to criticize your idea.

You submit an idea with a ‘criticism bounty’ of ten bucks per pending criticism received, say.

The amount should be arbitrarily customizable (while covering transaction costs).

There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.

When starting a bounty, the user indicates terms such as what kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos, say.

Anyone can start a bounty on any idea. There can only be one bounty per idea at a time.

Rather than set a fixed amount for each pending criticism (#3421), the ceiling could be divided among all pending criticisms equally.

Then it’s less clear to contributors how much money they can expect.

There could be a UI component showing estimated payout based on current number of criticisms, with a warning that actual payout could be less.
