Description

Have a tweak idea? Looking for ideas for your next project? r/TweakBounty is the place for you! Come join us in our mission to bring iOS users and developers closer together.

How To Use

At r/TweakBounty, you can share your tweak ideas with the Jailbreak community, with a small bounty to go with it! Others who like your ideas can add to the bounty, adding to the incentive for a developer to make them a reality. If one of your ideas gets developed into a tweak, the bounty is sent to the developer!

Rules

1. Minimum Bounty

The minimum amount to create a bounty is $10. If you wish to contribute to an existing bounty, the minimum is $5. There is no maximum bounty, but never make it more than you can afford.

2. Sending Bounties

If you are the only contributor to a bounty and your idea gets developed, simply send your bounty to the developer individually, and ask him to confirm that you have done so in a comment.
Please specify your currency in your post title using the appropriate short code if not using US Dollars ($10 CAD, £10 GBP, €10 EUR, etc.). Pay the developer in the currency you specify.
Do not send bounties directly to the developer when there are multiple contributors. Instead, send your part of the bounty to this PayPal address so that a Moderator can forward the bounty to the developer in one piece. After you have sent the payment, inform a Moderator. This makes it easier for us to track who has completed the payment process, and who has not.

3. Be polite

Do not come here to blatantly disrespect developers. They work hard to keep us happy. Do not insult others. The only type of criticism that is tolerated here is that which is constructive. Failure to follow this rule could result in a ban.

4. Post Formatting

All bounties must feature a similar format to this: [$10][11.3.1][OPT] A Really Cool Tweak! Note the brackets.
If the bounty for your idea is added on to by someone else, this can be expressed in a flair placed by the OP or by a moderator.
Please include your iOS version in your bounty request title, like this: [10.2], [9.3.3], or [9.0.2, 10.1.1] if you need more than one.
The [OPT] tag should be placed after your bounty like this: [$10][OPT][10.1.1] A Really Cool Tweak! The [OPT] tag stands for optional'. When you attach it to your bounty, it means that you can specify optional features in your idea that would be worth extra.
If you do want a jailbreak detection bypass, you need to 1) include [BP] in your title of your post (like [$10][iOS 11.3.1][BP] A Really Cool Tweak!) and 2) You MUST link to the app in question.

5. Flairs

Use link flairs respectively. Add a 'New Bounty' flair if someone has offered to add to your bounty. Use 'In-Development' if a developer has started to work on your tweak. Finally, use 'NB: $ | In-Dev' if the bounty has been raised and a developer has started work on your tweak.
If you are a developer and want a developer flair, message the moderators linking to a bounty which you have fulfilled.
If you have successfully paid a bounty, message the moderators for a 'Verified Trustworthy' flair. This lets developers know you are... well, trustworthy! In your message, link to the bounty you paid as well as a proof of transaction. This can be a confirmation by the developer, or a transaction screenshot.

6. Acknowledge Tweak Development

A developer who accepts Tweak Development must make it clear that he/she is working on the tweak. The OP must acknowledge this as well. If you don't acknowledge that you have begun developing a tweak, you aren't entitled to the bounty.

7. Free Copies For Bounty Contributors

If the tweak developed from a bounty is paid, the OP and other contributors are entitled to a free copy.

8. Mark Posts As Completed

When development is complete and both parties are happy, (i.e. tweak is specified to users liking and developer has been paid) mark the post as 'Completed' by assigning the 'Completed' flair!

9. No Scams

You scam once. You're out. No strikes. No tolerance. Inactivity bans can be appealed once so long as the bounty is paid when you come back online.
If you suspect a user of scamming, report them to the moderators immediately. Watch out for users who haven't posted before.

10. No Illegal Content

Bounties must not be illegal in any way. Fraud, obtaining paid features for free, or anything else that may be perceived as illegal is not permitted.
Bounties can't relate to piracy in any way. Piracy hurts developers, and hurts the perception of Jailbreaking to the public. Piracy may not be discussed in comments. Period. No cheats for multiplayer games.

11. Payment Requirements

Bounties with more than one contributor, and a developer has acknowledged that it is being worked on, must pay half of said person's contribution upfront. (Example: You add $10 to a bounty, you must pay $5 at the time of dev's acknowledgement.)
