I suggest extending the voting period until the end of 2017.
But in general, if many people express themselves in this way, we can extend it. That is, extending it for some month is easy, even without voting, I can do it until the end of the year – well, with a certain number of interested people, we can.
In my humble opinion, the experiments with the prize fund in the past were unsuccessful. There are always few people interested in creating the fund (previously only the organizers, 1-2 people), and the money needs to be distributed to the same or a larger number of people. As a result, it's either very little, or it's hard to part with it. And honestly, I don't want to deal with money unnecessarily.
Formally, I am not against it if someone creates a fund and independently deals with collecting money and its subsequent distribution; I might even contribute a small amount to the fund. But I don't plan to do it myself.
