hopefully low enough not to encourage hacking accounts for the bounty, and non-negotiable ("take it or leave it").


I think you already answered you own question. This will most definitely lead to more account hacks and even though you mentioned you would keep it a fixed fee, it could also lead to higher ranked accounts(even if we use new passwords every so often to help prevent hacks) being targets for a higher ransom/reward/bounty.
