One of my reasons for thinking about a time duration is so that: * It provides a point at which the rules can be adjusted without anyone crying foul. * It's a convenient time to add/remove judges, if required. * It's a good time to change the bounty pumpking. * It's a good time to extend the list of bugs which can be claimed. * It means we don't have people complaining that they had $450 in unclaimed bounties from six years ago, but now the bounty is closed / TPF has spent the money / they want to be a pain. We can have an expectation that the bounties will continue after each period, and that bounties earned get rolled-over, but we only guarantee that people will get their bounties if they reach the cash-out threshold before the end of the current cycle. > I think it's viable to allow individuals to agree to transfer their claimed > balance to another individual, so that that individual reaches the cash-out > limit, which provides de-facto teams.
