There are other platforms for open source bounties , at least some of them I reviewed . I think this one is the best because:
it’s under a copyleft license, so less of a chance a of it becoming proprietary, also no one can take the code and create a closed source competitor.
It can show the most funded issues both on the website itself, and for a particular project (e.g. i3 ) this can be a more reliable indicator for how much a feature or bugfix is appreciated by the community then just a “Thumbs Up” on github, it can give people the chance to put their money where their mouth is (the money can even go to some unrelated charity).
Rysolv is a open source platform for posting bounties under the AGPL
It seems cool and fees appear to be low, but it also seems to be a for-profit company based in Delaware, US (which is know for lax fin-tech laws). And they are very wishy-washy about that on their website, almost to the point of hiding this fact…

I don’t think it’s a major issue, it’s not like being a non profit somehow makes it impossible for the organisation to act as a scam.
