Hmmm. If that is true, then I think its a cheap excuse as they should have anticipated it even before the program had started. Actually I'm excited to join their staking program  just like most MZG holder but there is nothing we can do but to wait.

However, I would assume that they would also extend their registration to their staking program to accommodate others especially the bounty participants who are willing to join it. Now I think we should wait a little bit longer, maybe tokens will be sent within a day or two. Hopefully!

Are you sure this delay is only due to the GAS problem?
they have collected a lot of funds, why are they concerned about the cost of the GAS which is not too expensive.
I checked https://ethgasstation.info, fee GAS /transfer is 12gwai ($0.047). this is already too low in my opinion. I think they have another reason, why not distribute bounty tokens according to plan. are they afraid prices will dump when tokens are distributed?

i thought that the withdrawal from bounty will be available on November 14, so they make it faster and it will be good for the bounty hunter.
btw why they open the withdrawals while MZG smartcontract still locked so we can't send it after we receive the token?
