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?
If they give back all the money the investors put in where do you expect the money to "compensate" the bounty hunters is going to come from? As someone who does bounties on a regular basis I am fine when an ICO that I have been working on does not hit their soft cap and returns investor money. It is one of the risks involved with ICO's that I will happily accept. The one thing that I will not except is companies that raise money and issue tokens and then try to screw the bounty hunters out of the agreed compensation.
