Since we won’t have a one-size-misfits-all “rep” number, bounties in the Stack Exchange sense which transfer “currency” don’t really work. Besides bounties don’t make so much sense for rewarding an existing answer: why should rewarding an answer make me less reputable? Instead I propose handling exceptional rewards through a reaction mechanism. No cost involved (but an entry barrier and a rate limit), no direct bonus, but indirect bonuses from making the answer more visible (because the default sort order should take reactions into account and not just score) and having a “mark of approval” next to it.
