Finally, establishment of an open problem creates a status reward for solving the problem. We define what a solution looks like, so others can easily recognize success. We explain why a solution would be valuable, and why it’s difficult. Once all those things become public knowledge, we have the recipe for a status reward associated with solving the problem.
Interestingly, it not only provides a status reward for solving problems which you already have for problems solved with publishable solutions but it also provides a way to reward people for formulating the problems.
Problems which are easier to understand will be easier to communicate to more people and therefore more easily achieve a high status reward
It seems like it’s important that the users of your platform can vote about how important they consider certain problems.
One idea would be to give every user an opportunity to rank problems on their profile.
