[bisq-network/growth] Experience the DAO: Hat-Tip Compensation (#195)

[m52go]

## Background

The Bisq DAO is not easy to understand, particularly as it relates to compensation. 

Every so often, a particularly enthused individual will make a contribution outside explicit budget and priorities. It could be altruistic, or it could be funded/motivated by another entity. 

Regardless, this contribution is notable in some way: 
- maybe it was a [fantastically thorough post on a corporate blog](https://www.alza.cz/burza-bisq-jak-nakoupit-a-prodat-bitcoin-navod)
- maybe it was [a particularly well-done series of videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPj3KCksGbSZR33X7kJmDMwIEH-wrrpCJ)
- maybe it [helped encourage the start of a new market](https://deploy-preview-374--bisq-website.netlify.app/blog/us-postal-money-order-how-to/)

Compensating every such contribution is not realistic (and in many cases, not warranted). However, perhaps such contributions deserve some kind of acknowledgement. Working on Bisq, being issued BSQ, and then selling it for BTC can be a magical experience the first time. 

Accordingly, this issue establishes a "hat-tip" contribution to give such individuals first-hand experience of being compensated for the DAO outside of the conventional budget and priorities convention.

## Reasons

- incentivize enthused individuals to contribute to Bisq by giving them a taste of how the DAO works first-hand
- show more people (beyond core contributors) how the DAO works first-hand
- show appreciation to individuals who spent much time and effort studying and promoting Bisq
- encourage testing creative growth endeavors that the DAO cannot justify / doesn't have resources to implement

## Reward

Since this bounty is meant to acknowledge non-priority contributions, it must have an immaterial effect on BSQ supply. It's also meant to be a token of appreciation, not reasonable compensation.

**The bounty amount is 50 BSQ. It may only be issued once per cycle at most.**

## Criteria:

Ideally, an individual interested in claiming this contribution makes a remarkable contribution that shows the individual made a serious effort to understand Bisq or some particular aspect of it. Refer to the examples linked above.

**Perhaps this bounty is best thought of as an honorary degree. If you think you've done something remarkable that's deserving of this bounty, you can ask to claim this bounty here, but most candidates will probably be contacted by Bisq contributors proactively.** 

None of the individuals in each of the examples above asked for compensation from the Bisq DAO.
