I want to know the meaning of this sentence below my question:
question eligible for bounty in 2 days
Could you give me the right meaning of this sentence?

1That is a very terse (headline-ese) version of "This question will be eligible to have a bounty posted on it in two days". bounty = a reward of (extra) points to the person answering it. The terse version is used because screen space is limited. The verb-to-be is dropped, as are other phrases which the reader is assumed to understand from context.– TimRCommented Mar 11, 2017 at 13:10

To those who would close: the question can be answered from a grammatical slant. It doesn't have to be relegated to Meta.– TimRCommented Mar 11, 2017 at 13:15

6@TRomano It could be answered as a question about English, but if folks can't tell whether it is a question about how the site works or a question about the sentence itself, it should have more detail than it does. 박용현 has been a member here for almost four years and has received a lot of guidance recently on how to improve the quality of his questions. I am disappointed that guidance has been ignored.– ColleenVCommented Mar 11, 2017 at 19:39

Bounties on Stack Exchange are a way to attract more attention to a question (for whatever reason); you can think of them as advertisements paid for with your own reputation.
The help center also mentions the following, which explains your question:
How do I start a bounty? When can I start a bounty?
A bounty can be started on a question two days after the question was asked.
The idea behind this is that in the first two days, a question should generate enough attention on its own, merely by being new.
