Users earn credits by fulfilling data bounties and spend them to request data for their own models.", "body_md": "I’m in the middle of building a website where people can exchange data for data to train their AI models. So, how this works is basically everyone starts with a set amount of credits. If you want data for your model, then you would post a bounty, and people would do it for credits. Once the data is given, the poster gives the amount of credits said in the bounty to the person who gives that data. The person who gave the data now has more credits, so they can now give away more credits for more data to train their models. This way we don’t have to use money and everyone gets their data.
