I think bounties will continue to be worthless as long as we are in the bear market. Things rarely go well in the bear market, even the best projects struggle. Before we can really enjoy bounties and ICOs we have to be in the bull market. The main reason why most bounties extend and don't pay is because they find it difficult to raise their softcap or Hardcap, which is as a result of the market conditions. If the market should improve, everybody will get paid and smile.
