your thoughts are the same as mine, I also followed many projects and until now there has been no news, so I got no results. that is the risk of being a bounty hunter, but I am passionate and keep up with the best projects, hoping it will come to fruition. not all projects fail there are also many good projects, we must be smart in choosing projects.
I recommend that you follow the bounty that has been registered in the market, and the allocation for the bounty must use escrow so that the team doesn't send payments too long, usually the escrow project can be met at several bounty managers, one of which is the bounty that I follow
