I like the list of "bounties with no deadline (which is based on Puzzling and Code Golf equivalents) on Literature, so I am stealing it with attribution; this is almost completely copied and pasted from the other site.

This is a list of unofficial, deadline-less (hence not searchable) bounties offered by users on various challenges on the main site.

The list need not be limited to questions that already have an answer. You can offer bounties both for your own questions and for other people's questions.

Disclaimer: There is no guarantee that the user will award the bounty for you in case you fulfil its requirement. Especially if the user isn't an active member anymore. The only guarantee is their written word.

Guidelines for updating

  • To add a bounty, create an answer that contains a link to the question that needs a (better) answer and the bounty you are willing to award.
    • Answers can be sorted to see which bounties are newest.
    • Please comment on answers if you notice that there’s been a good answer to the question in question for a while that the bountier apparently hasn’t seen.
  • If a bounty is awarded, delete the meta answer.

    If I have multiple questions I'm willing to offer a bounty for, should I create multiple answers?

  • How do you offer a 1000 point bounty? The bounty dropdown only goes up to 500 for me. Are you offering two separate 500 point bounties?

    Well, you won't really have a choice - since you've already spent 50 on a bounty a while back, bountying the same question again will cost you 100 minimum (see here)

  • You have a whole bunch of answers here, meaning a lot of scrolling to get through everything. I wonder if it would make more sense to put all your bounty offers into one answer (and edit to strikethrough or remove parts of the answer if the bounty is awarded), to be "the Thunderforge offer list" rather than many different offers in different posts?

I am offering a 100-200 bounty, or more (depending how good the answer is) for a logical answer to Do Goblins consider all money ever made theirs?. I, and I alone, will decide if the answer makes sense for my purposes. I do not like the current answers.

If a canon answer is provided - from the books or a JKR quote - a minimum of 250 will be given (more for an obscure quote or better answer.)

This is a question, not a story ID question, so it should be answerable.
