I've posted a bounty to one of my questions, which after the bounty was posted, gathered a fair amount of attention. Nonetheless, no answer came in which actually solved my problem, yet the discussion via comments on one of the answers, between me and the answerer, pointed me in the right direction, and I managed to solve the problem.
What is the correct procedure in this case?
- Should I award the bounty to that respective answer that pointed me in the correct direction?
- Should I let the bounty auto award itself partially to that answer?
- Should I tell the account that helped me, what was the actual problem, and ask him to formulate an answer around that problem, and then award him the bounty?
- Should I write my own answer to the question, and let the bounty auto-award itself between the other answers?
