Is it possible to cancel a bounty if I found the answer to my question?

  • Do you mean you want to cancel your bounty or how to award it to someone who answered your question?

  • I originally meant how to cancel a bounty if still anybody hasn't answered the question and in the meantime i found a answer to my question on my own. But acutal the question is done, because someone answered the question and i will going to award him the bounty i started. Just in general, can a bounty be cancel if anybody hasn't answered so far?

  • If the answer you found is very different from any existing answer on that question, you should also post an answer yourself.

    You're allowed to answer your own question though you won't get your bounty back!

Details on the bounty system are here: How does the bounty system work?

At the bottom of the answer you'll see that you can't cancel a bounty. I assume you're referring to this question. ændrük's answer will at least get the automatic bounty for half of the rep at the end of the period.

Personally I would just give him the full bounty for the effort (since once you spend the 50 it's gone for good). It's a good answer with nice screenshots so the next person will get a easy to use answer.

  • thanks for the answer, yes that was my plan. I stated this in the comment to my question above, that i definitly will give him the award. Did it some minutes ago, because i had to wait the system waiting time for transfer rewards.
