Amethyst bounty used to be optional it seems now they are requiring it but I still see people open GitHub feature requests with no bounty. I don't even know how much bounty to offer when asking for a request.

What do you think about this? I've seen this on other software websites and people usually offer too low then when the developer suggests a price the user thinks it's way too high.

Amethyst GitHub:

Bounty (in Bitcoin sats) offered for the implementation

The size of the bounty is proportional to how much this matters to you. If no bounty is offered,

not even a small one, this feature will not be coded because it doesn't actually matter to you.

We prioritize feature development by its bounty size compared to how much work is required to get it done
