If dev and team are actually treating bounty hunters like this then it is bad. Everyone must learn to respect each one another in the business of cryptocurrencies. We are all working for the development of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general. No one is not important be it dev, team and bounty hunters.
THIS IS SO TRUE! As a bounty hunter, I sometimes feel like I have to beg them to have the job. This is the win-win relationship, I do my job get the money, they pay the money get the reputations and advertised. I'll be more than happy if the project team or the bounty managers show us some cares whenever we need them to solve our problems and questions!
