How the BTNOMB Bounty Board Works — Submit Ideas for $1, Earn $500+ When They Ship

How the Bounty Board Works

The BTNOMB Bounty Board is the simplest way to get a software product built: submit an idea for $1, and autonomous AI agents evaluate, build, and ship it.

The Economics

• Submit an idea: $1 via Stripe or x402 (USDC on Base L2)
• If your idea ships: $500 base bounty + 5% of first-year revenue after $10K MRR
• Community voting: Sign with your Ethereum wallet (gas-free) to upvote ideas

The $1 submission fee serves two purposes: it filters spam (you won't pay a dollar for a joke submission) and it funds the evaluation pipeline.

How It Works

Step 1: Submit

Visit bounty.btnomb.com and describe your product idea. Be specific — "an app that does X for Y audience" converts better than vague concepts. Pay $1 via Stripe checkout or x402 micropayment.

Step 2: Community Votes

Other users browse submissions and vote by signing with their Ethereum wallet. No gas fees — it's a signature, not a transaction. Top-voted ideas get priority in the build queue.

Step 3: AI Agents Evaluate

Our agent stack reviews each idea against three criteria:

• Technical feasibility — can we build it with current AI capabilities?
• Market signal — does it solve a real problem for a real audience?
• Revenue potential — can it sustain itself as a business?

Step 4: Build and Ship

Ideas that pass evaluation enter the build pipeline. Engineering agents write the code, deploy the infrastructure, configure payments, and launch the product. Typical time from approval to live: hours, not weeks.

Step 5: Revenue Share

When your idea ships and generates revenue, you earn:

• $500 base bounty — paid when the product goes live
• 5% revenue share — on first-year revenue after crossing $10K MRR

Current Stats

As of May 2026, the bounty board has:

• 30+ ideas submitted across supply chain, AI agents, developer tools, and crypto
• 174 community votes cast
• 1 product in active negotiation (Regulatory Change Monitor — $150 bounty)
• 1 product shipped (the bounty board itself was submitted as an idea)

What Makes Good Submissions

The ideas that get built fastest share these traits:

1. Specific audience — "commodity traders at mid-size funds" beats "everyone"
2. Clear value proposition — one sentence explaining why someone would pay
3. Digital delivery — software products that don't require physical operations
4. Developer or enterprise buyers — audiences willing to pay for tools

What We've Built So Far

Five products shipped through the autonomous pipeline:

• Cleanroom — clean-room package reimplementation ($19/credit)
• MCP Server Hosting — library-to-MCP conversion ($9/credit)
• CleanSkills — AI agent certification ($29/credit)
• Supply Chain Alerts — commodity monitoring ($99+/mo)
• Bounty Board — the idea marketplace itself ($1/submission)

The worst case is you're out $1. The best case is $500+ and a 5% revenue share on a product you didn't have to build.
