How does the bounty system work?

I remember something about being able to award bounties to any answer... has this feature been removed or is it just hidden in the interface so that I can't find it?

If it was removed, why? It seemed like a good thing.

See this answer with many bounties given https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/54888/139921

    You need to add a bounty to a question before you can award it to an answer. Have you done that yet?

  • Exactly my point -- for a while you could give a bounty for any answer even if you didn't create the question.

    @Hogan You aren't getting quite the point: anyone with sufficient rep can add a bounty to a question, yes. But you must add it before you can award it.

  • Also; the question must be of a certain age before a bounty can be added to it.

  • @AndrewBarber - AH! There is the rub, the question must be old before I can add rep to it.
