I want my question answered, and I'm willing to pay. Is there an established way for me to credibly promise payment in a way that will induce an answer?
Has this been done before? Thank you.

2$\begingroup$ On this meta: Monetizing SE bounties? and Integrate bitcoins with MSE. If you search a bit, you will certainly find some other related discussion on Meta Stack Exchange and on other per-site metas. $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 2, 2022 at 9:08

1$\begingroup$ And, as I mentioned, you can have a look at some related discussions on Meta Stack Exchange - such as Pay money to SO for quick support or Offering actual money as a bounty? or Pay real money to set bounties (another method, not replacing rep method). (And in each case, you'll find many other related posts among the linked questions.) $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 2, 2022 at 11:50

$\begingroup$ Yes, I get it now - and I wish I could delete this question now but I can't since it has been answered. Thanks. $\endgroup$– Michael B. CurrieCommented Nov 2, 2022 at 11:56

6$\begingroup$ Michael: Just my personal opinion - keeping the question here is useful. If somebody else wants to ask about the same thing, they might find your questions - and from there other related discussion, too. (As a side note - I see from your profile that you're rather active on SO. I would not be surprised if there were on Meta Stack Overflow - but I am not really familiar with that site.) $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 2, 2022 at 11:59

1$\begingroup$ This question has many answers already, as you yourself pointed out. The only reason to leave this up is so people will have a place to kick me with a downvote and smarmy comment for years to come. :D It's okay I can handle it :D $\endgroup$– Michael B.

6$\begingroup$ Well, I can understand that downvotes are not pleasant. But especially on meta one should not worry about them too much: On posts tagged feature-request, voting indicates agreement or disagreement with the proposed change rather than just the quality or usefulness of the post itself. (And voting on meta doesn't influence reputation, either.) $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakCommented Nov 2, 2022 at 12:10

3$\begingroup$ Just in case this is news to you, the non-cash version of this is the bounty system. Once you get at least 50 reputation, you can offer your own reputation as a bounty for your question. Offering a bounty puts your answer in the bountied question tab for a week, and once you get an answer that satisfies you, you can award your reputation to the best answer. $\endgroup$– Theo BenditCommented Nov 4, 2022 at 1:15

No. You cannot, and you may not, and the moderators may take action if this advice is unheeded.
We do not want to be a "write my thesis" or "do my research" or "solve my homework" site. We are trying to not be one.
Any and all attempts to change that will have dire consequences.
