I remember that I read this info on Telegram but cannot find it right now. I think it was something around 3k people, but I might be completely wrong so take this info with a grain of salt.

Well the bounty lasted very long so I the number does sound reasonable, I would say
I agree, considering how long it lasts, 3 thousand people isn't too much

I did not follow this project from the beginning but as far as I understood - it was not planned form the beginning for the bounty to last that long, right?
Did they increase the bounty pool once they decided that they will continue with bounty on btctalk for another couple of months?
