Solver Quests are bounties that reward developers for solving open GitHub issues. There are two main sub-types of Solver Quest - Public and Private.
Public Quests are visible on GitHub and open for anyone! When a quest is active on a GitHub issue you'll see a message like this one
Working on a public Solver Quest requires you to interact with @quest-bot on GitHub. @quest-bot is a helpful sidekick that keep you up to date with the quest's progress and facilitates a smooth contributor experience. To participate (aka embark) in the Quest, just follow the instructions in the @quest-bot's comment to get started!
Private Quests are not visible on GitHub (and sometimes not even on Quira!). These quests are by invitation only and give invited solvers a period of exclusivity to work on their solution. Private Quests typically include a time-limit for you to get started on your solution, failing which the Issue may be reassigned to someone else. This is closer to an assigned task for a specialist contractor.
You can find all available Quests that you have been invited to take part in listed under your Solver dashboard on Quira. In this dashboard you will be able to see all open public quests and your quest rewards so far!
