It is a common thing to see most ICOs stating in their whitepaper that the monies of investors will be refunded to them in case the ICO is not able to reach its softcap. Sadly bounty hunters work for like eight weeks or even more and their efforts go waste. Do you agree they should also be compensated?
Bountimg hunting is a task with preset rewards. The way and manner in which they are stated makes it very less formal and not contract binding.
But I think bounty hunters should be paid because they're giving a task and they perform it to their abilities. Depending on the level of quality of your product you're staked. This means that every person who qualified to be staked should be paid.
