That's a fair point, how can the investors would trust their money on the project if they can't even settle their responsibility on the bounty hunters. They should not think that bounty hunters did not contribute for the success of the project, they were promise so they deserve to get paid.
You’re right there, bounty hunters should just receive the payment they promised. The first promise they made that was not fulfilled gives rise to doubts. How can this project be trusted if the only ones who will destroy it are those who helped and supported to promote it? Due to the frustrations of these participants, they will have a second thought on whether to continue to support this project and it will have a big negative impact on progress.
"small rabbit" as the bounty manager said on his telegram channel that the AME team will distribute on April 13-23 and it will take 10 days, so there is still a bit of good news for bounty hunters as they will receive their own tokens soon.
But it is also not certain that the manager said if the AME team did not immediately distribute by the deadline they would take action, I do not know what action the manager took and what is clear is that if this continues to be postponed it will result in a little less confidence in investors because it has been demeaning. hunters as the first to contribute.
it's been a very long time since the bounty ended, and i participated in the signature campaign, and users didn't get their token even though they were supposed to send tokens weekly, their token seems to be doing really well, i don't know why it took them so long, this could result in very bad reputation as you said, they gotta act quickly before things get messy.
