Wolf0 has been a valuable contributor in slack, examining code and answering questions - he probably put in tens of hours to add to the discussions.
The bounty was created for a solo miner yesterday and the dev contributed 1000 pasc. 3 or 4 others contributed the rest including herman's 500 pasc. Wolf0 made the solo miner and successfully claimed this bounty. Everyone in slack saw the whole thing happening.
Looks like a misunderstanding happened here. The dev has been honest and transparent throughout.
That's correct, but the base work was done before already and there was no bounty for that work or at all for the pool, the account distribution or something similar.
It's not about the bounty, but about the way things are handled as I personally had some "rude" PM's as well regarding "slow" development of the pool in special the account distribution and I don't like getting pushed, especially not in a rude way and for a free project.
Some people are doing things for earning money and making "fees" or bountys out of everything, some people do things for enthusiasm, fun and to learn new technology. The latter then, most likely, take certain things more serious than others (as they don't have any financial advantage)..
So.. however, I've already posted that I'll be letting the pool up a few posts above thanks to some nice PM's I've received from the community and some users from slack.
