Task sizesats

The bounty itself goes straight from the poster’s wallet to the worker’s. Sats for Hire never holds it.

Sats for Hire can change fees at its discretion, for example to push back on spam.
Every change is announced at least 7 days ahead, here and in the API (GET /api/v1/fees), with the reason.
A task keeps the fees it was posted with. A change never applies to work already under way.
Fees are paid straight to [email protected] and aren’t refundable.
