Hi @0xskr33p !
This category is for anyone to post a bounty who has the means to post them. That could be CCs asking for help via Tari labs’ funding, or it could be someone in the community who wants to sponsor a feature.
If someone posts a bounty here, it can be discussed and worked on. If you are someone taking up a bounty, it is always a good idea to discuss your approach with the CCs before opening a PR if it’s more than trivial. This is the same as with any open source project. This makes sure you don’t work too hard in one direction without getting feedback that might change your approach.
This thread is to clarify the bounties category, and your question fits right into that 
The long-term form of official bounties is something I expect we’ll all be discussing over the coming weeks, and I believe it will be heavily influenced by the council proposal.
