Are new projects supposed to be well successful today to pay bounty hunters their promised payment? If they raise huge amount of money paying bounty hunters won't be a big problem, am I right ?
Absolutely buddy. If the project went successful, those budget that is allocated in bounty will be distributed to the bounty participants but if vice versa, it is either the project team will immediately stop or postponed the bounty or the team will declare bankruptcy. On the other hand, if the project became successful, the team will continue its project plan or road map and sometimes they are giving some giveaways.
Shouldn't be that way, the team intended to allocate budget for promotions, whether they've got the real target
or not they are supposedly paying those workers who help them to promote.
Best to say that those developers who didn't pay are not really aiming to continue the project they are not willing to sacrifice,
only hoping for investors to runaway the money.
But I've seen a lot of project like that, I even experienced it. Not being paid by the bounty manager, devs and team and sooner or later the devs in telegram will say that the project went to some losses and unable to accomodate the bounty campaign.
