Cool idea! Sometimes I wish Stackoverflow had a similar functionality, where rather than getting help, I could literally offer a cash bounty for the solution. I realize the focus of SO is for education, but would be a nice option, particularly since it already has a very active community.

Hopefully this site will too!

Thank you. This is exactly the reason I built this site.

I had the idea a long time ago, and then SO came out a few weeks later, so I abandoned it because I thought SO would fill that space. However, they've remained free, and it's still hard to get an answer on something requiring more than a few minutes' time.
