$15k for bug is very interesting...
unfortunately I dont have a coding background (
15k??? wtf

sorry

Why are you apologizing? Indeed, for the error that the user finds, they give such an amount. Here is a quote from the official site: "For errors of the A type: up to $ 15,000"
oh gosh..bounty program............i thoud 15k for smt new

But getting such a reward is very difficult, you need to have certain skills and also find a critical error in the system.
Nobody can guarantee that there is a bug. May be there is no bugs. Person can check all the code but do not find a bug

Of course, there is such a possibility that there will be no such critical errors, but in any case, someone who understands programming will find some errors. And they are also paid and pretty good.
Well, there is such a probability, I admit the presence of errors after starting the system, probably not everyone can find critical ones, which can not be said about minor errors.
In any case, this kind of generosity is only suitable for a certain circle of people with special knowledge.
Perhaps in the future the team will conduct generosity for a wider circle of people, unless of course there is a need for additional advertising.
It is clear that at the moment it is more important for the team to identify possible errors and not everyone has such knowledge, I will wait and if there is such an opportunity, I will also join your campaign for a reward.
Advertising is always needed, social networks and rewards are not enough, it is important to gather a large community around you.
But you understand that a large-scale advertising company is expensive, and for a beginner project this is not an option. Social networks, as before, do an excellent job with advertising, the only thing that marketing needs to be directed specifically to the target audience.
I agree with you, marketing is certainly necessary, but this is only a small part. The most important thing is what the project is and how much it will be in demand.
