Perhaps you should institute the system Don Knuth used for TeX some years ago. 
He paid $0.01 for the first error, $0.02 for the second, doubling the reward
for each new bug discovered.  Of course you must have great confidence in the
quality of the system or you can get into trouble.  Knuth himself has done
pretty well, last I heard the prize was only up to $20.48 (or maybe $40.96),
and this is after some 10-12 years, I think.
