## What Is Steem-Bounty
I assume you've heard about @steem-bounty by now, since they are running a pretty serious promo campaign these last couple of weeks.

@steem-bounty is a service that allows you to give people an extra incentive to leave a quality comment on your post by setting a bounty reward.

It's an easy-to-use and a very effective system that requires little effort to set up. All you need to do is write a post - which you do anyway - send the amount of Steem/SBD you want to set as the bounty to @steem-bounty, and upvote the comments you think are worth a share of that bounty.

When your post reaches payout, @steem-bounty will automatically send the earned Steem/SBD to the wallets of the people who have have been upvoted.

## How To Set Up A Steem-Bounty From Your Blog?
Setting up a @steem-bounty on your post is pretty straight forward.

1 -  Write and publish your post.

2 - Decide which amount of Steem/SBD you want to spend on the bounty. This can be ANY amount you choose *(minimum 0.5 Steem or the converted amount in SBD)*, but know that the higher the bounty is, the more & the better people will engage with your post.

3 - Go to your wallet, and transfer the amount of Steem/SBD to @steem-bounty. Paste the **URL of the post you want to put the bounty on** in the 'Memo' field.

<br>

4 - Once the transfer has been completed, @steem-bounty will post a comment on your post, letting people know a bounty reward has been set.

*Note: Scroll to the bottom of the homepage to find the 'Latest Bounties' list.*

## How Is A Bounty Distributed?
The total bounty amount will be distributed among the people who comment on your post based on 

* the upvote you give them. The higher the upvote, the bigger share of the bounty a person will receive.

* the upvotes a comment gets from other visitors.

To limit abuse (self-voting comments, using bots to vote on comments) these community upvotes only count for 2% of the total amount.

**It is recommended to add a disclaimer to your post in which you forbid to self-upvote comments or use any bots to upvote comments!!**

<center>![dividerlines.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmePb2AbeWLzuiWmjLQ6eNwuJDXAjiVPUGjzPcJx6DB4j3/dividerlines.png)</center>
## How Is A Bounty Paid Out?
Once your post has reached payout, the @steem-bounty system will make all calculations necessary to give everyone his earned share of the bounty. The earned amount will be sent directly to wallets of the people who have earned a share.

Also, @steem-bounty will reply to its own comment with the results of the bounty.

 <center>[![steem-bounty payout.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTk7gVBJB52XxDr9XdrRm6aTmSi8cK5bgfHsPiRYbSsJS/steem-bounty%20payout.jpg)](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTk7gVBJB52XxDr9XdrRm6aTmSi8cK5bgfHsPiRYbSsJS/steem-bounty%20payout.jpg)

<center>![dividerlines.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmePb2AbeWLzuiWmjLQ6eNwuJDXAjiVPUGjzPcJx6DB4j3/dividerlines.png)</center>

## That's It
That's how easy it is.

There are a lot of bounty hunters. Most of them will provide a real effort to leave a quality comment, but you'll also come across people who are trying to abuse the system to earn money.

**TIP**: In case someone leaves an unrelated comment and self-upvotes it or uses a bot to upvote it, you can prevent this person from earning by **downvoting the comment just enough so it has no value anymore.**

Personally, I have used @steem-bounty several times, and could definitely notice an increase in quality comments.

I have been using steem-bounty on my Shadow Contest post each week and a bonus for everyone who enters. I really like how it works. Simple and easy. You gave a great explanation.

You really should. Bounties work best when you ask a direct question to your visitors. You can really see a difference in number of replies, and the quality of replies.

I've always liked this idea, especially when you can't give much of an upvote yourself to people commenting on your own posts ... it's a nice boost for them.  Thanks for sharing the How-To details as well.  Bookmarking this one :)

I've heard of steem bounty, but it seems kind of strange to pay people to comment on a post. Am I missing something? I am a feedback junkie, but I prefer the comments to be genuine as opposed to contrived in order to win a reward.

I get what you say, but in my experience people really put in an effort to leave a quality comment, which is by the way a great exercise. It makes them.think more before writing a comment, and I believe that will become a habit after a while, so they will start doing it on posts that have no bounty set up.

And as a host, you still decide who gets a share of the bounty. It's not that hard to see the difference between the real bounty hunters, who are only lesving a comment hoping to be rewarded, and the people that leave a quality comment. Of course they also want a share of the bounty, and that often makes the difference between taking time to comment. I can only speak for myself, but sometimes I'm simply too caught up.in other things and too busy to write the insightful comment I want to give. The incentive of the bounty is often a reason to not skip the post,  but actually write the  comment and add to the discussion.

It sounds better when you describe it as 'giving people an incentive to write a quality comment' (instead of 'pay them to comment')



I don't see  a difference with for example giving  away an ebook or something alike to build your mailing list.

Ok, that all makes a lot of sense. I love the idea of trying to build habitual behaviors through the use of a steem bounty. That's fun, and actually really awesome. My strategy of using snark doesn't seem to be panning out very well. Here's an example:

>*OP: Great pic. Good job.*
>
>*Me: Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Which one did you like? There were several in this post.*

Yeah, so as you can tell, that's not really making a difference that I can see. Perhaps I'll check out the steem bounty thing. However, I do get some awesome, insightful comments on posts pretty regularly. I'd be interested in doing before and after comparative studies on the effect of steem bounties. 

I am a former high school English teacher, and teaching students to leave specific feedback was always quite difficult. They either didn't see the value in it so would leave comments like "Great job!" or they would just say, "there's nothing wrong with it so I have nothing to say." I feel like steemit can be very similar in that people are trying to write a comment, but they feel as if they have nothing to add to the conversation so they default to positive praise. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't exactly foster discussion and real engagement. 

I like the controversial. Question everything. Thanks for writing cool posts with room to question. :-D
