Entiendo que si tienes ese patrón pueden publicarlo y ganarse esa recompensa de alguien.

Someone wants this pattern-
There is no file to download,
you have to wait until the pattern is posted.
replies can not be read because of private sphere

That is a really cute pattern. Unfortunately you will need to wait until someone posts it here. Keep checking back though, some bounties are solved within days or weeks, but others are many years old.

So a bounty post is a post made offering gold for someone else to upload the pattern by creating a separate post for it in the patterns section. Its providing extra incentive for someone to share a pattern that you really love, but isnt available here. Bounties dont get solved by anyone uploading the pattern to the bounty post. The reason the replies are obscured is to protect the privacy of the users. That way if someone replies to the post saying they have the pattern, no one will see it. This tripped me up at first, too, I thought there were a whole bunch of patterns available in the bounty area that I just couldnt see due to my level.

Sometimes you can get lucky and if you see a bounty for something and search for it with the searchbar, someone may have made a pattern post for it. This is very rare, though, people are usually good about reporting solved bounties and the bounty thread gets recycled and moved out of the bounty area.
