Description

Bounty-hunter workers are exactly like standard workers (registered and staked) except for 2 differences

  1. They don't earn transaction fees or block rewards. But they can still be punished for messing things up.
  2. They can volunteer to join a computation group to help detect discrepancies. If so, they'll be added automatically to every committee (regardless of election) and only paid when they win a discrepancy resolution.
