Idea for Donald X and Dominion team: Bounties for Glitches/errors

Not sure if this is the best place to put this but it seems to be to me.

In an effort to make the game better and bug/glitch free, why not offer a bounty to those who find a true one. Like one free month of cards or a +1 month bump in an existing subscription.

 Now a lot of "glitches" are just someone not understanding interactions (ie procession/hireling).  But many are real.  I imagine there are a lot of little mistakes and glitches that people see and don't post. Why not incentivize them.  Some folks with base cards only might even try "hunting for them". 

 As good as the software is there probably won't be many anyway. But if someone finds one you think it would be worth 3 bux for dominion inc. to get each glitch out of the game.  Probably much cheaper than paying techs to try and root out find glitches...

"Paying techs". Oof. Man, I've got news for you. Shuffle iT is one dude. Everybody else who works on it is a volunteer. And although I have no visibility into his financials, I'm guessing he isn't raking in the cash from this subscription-based, unpolished Dominion implementation. I don't think he's going to be paying anybody for anything anytime soon, or he (hopefully) would have already done so.

Most of the obscure bugs are known about, and are just a much lower priority than the other work. And in most cases, what people would encounter aren’t actually bugs at all, so I don’t think this would help. They don’t have the problem of not enough things to do.

Then we put a bounty on determining which of the reported bugs aren't actually bugs.

Really?  Wow.  I thought that Rio Games bought Dominion and I was assuming that under that corporate umbrella it made sense. 

So is shuffle IT independent of dominion, or just like a third party contractor?

And Rio Grande is not much bigger:

Rio Grande Games is one guy, Jay Tummelson. As he puts it, "I also do the windows."
