Bount is a marketplace for bounties. Users post incentivized requests (i.e., "bounts") that can be public, private, targeted at specific entities, or open to anyone to fulfill. The reward (i.e., "bounty") attached to the successful fulfillment of the request can be funded (i.e., "backed") by a single user or crowdfunded by many. If a bount is fulfilled to the satisfaction of its backers, the bounty is released to the fulfiller.
