posting bounties to problems, and actually getting things done by throwing money at it until it goes away.

Well said, potential tagline:

"Incremental bounties for instrumental solutions."

paranoid disclosing ideas to a third party where I pay them a buck to make one and they can sell the finished product for ten

The idea is to bring abundance to awesomely executed ideas. Right now, it seems like much of the silicon valley is more obsessed with the idea of making things happen than actually making them happen. Besides, it's the idea multiplied by the execution that creates value. And thankfully, startup ideas are not patent-able.

Early adopters will always have to pay a premium to pioneer new areas of innovation. With time, the goal would really be to lower the barriers to awesome ideas entering the market, both physical and startup-related.

The bottom line is that you could then get a product for ten dollars when the alternative would be you getting nothing and being eternally annoyed at whatever issue initially motivated you to post in the first place.
