It seems to me that bounty is a proven marketing strategy. It was used and used by 99.9% of all crypto projects. It is cheap and productive. I think so.
And we know that 99% of all crypto projects are a scam) So, maybe, it's better to stay away from bounty? Did Bitcoin do any bounty programs?
I agree with you that in today's market there are mostly scammers ... but there are certainly unique and promising projects. They are few but they are. For example, I sincerely believe that your project is something special. this is not flattery.
