🗒️ Conversation Summary: Bitcoin developers discussed ways to encourage more bug-fixing and testing of existing functionality, including offering BTC bounties for fixing bugs and finding security holes. Suggestions were made to add a way for anyone to add to the bounty attached to a bug on the bug tracker and a listing page for bugs with their bounties. Concerns were raised about GitHub's steep demand for potentially unlimited money, and the discussion also touched on the importance of attracting new developers to the project.
