I would like to include an expert Q and A system into my site that works like stackoverflow but also gives the user the option to promise money for the answer.

2What exactly does promising money entail in your mind as a feature? I "promise" you ten bucks if you respond to this comment. See? Now any Q&A system can handle your request.– Su'Mar 4, 2012 at 11:39

@Su' - every +1 is funded from upvoter financial account, -1 - from answerer, accept - from asker. Just idea of real interst instead of child toys with "leagues"– Lazy BadgerMar 4, 2012 at 17:38

@LazyBadger that actually sounds like an interesting idea.– John BirdieMar 6, 2012 at 13:04

1FYI, there are already a few sites like this. Most of these are very large sites using a custom developed web application. The cheapest solution would be modify an open source Q&A platform to integrate payment processing into it. You'd need web development experience (or hire a developer) + a merchant account and subscription to a payment gateway.– Lèse majestéApr 3, 2012 at 6:59

OSQA is an excellent Q&A that you may consider. I'm not sure wheather it has bulit-in capability to 'pay for answers'. However since it based on Django framework, you can extend and add features if you are familiar with Django.
Q&A - It's a Wordpress plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qa/

I see no evidence of a "payment for answers" feature(whatever that might mean, as per my comment above). Can you expand on this suggestion?– Su'Mar 4, 2012 at 11:42

The "payment for answer" part is something he'll have to implement. And my guess is that he wanted to implement something close to this: learnable.com Mar 4, 2012 at 18:18
