Like any bounty manager, irfan_pak10 can only relay what he is being told and that is understandable. It is not in his hands to dictate when bounties are released if project managers keep pushing the date back therefore the participants should be aware of this caveat and be patient.
After having a quick look at the first and second pages of
that bounty thread, what stands out is the number of newbies. I gave up and did not check the rest of the pages but the numbers of newbies in the Combo bounty thread are high (or maybe regular considering it is a bounty thread). I know it becomes off-topic but I understand your perspective when you state it is not always about ethics. There are some less fortunate people wanting a better life for themselves and for their families which is the driving factor for their participation.
A very high number of your bounty hunters are from undeveloped regions of the world. They are trying to do anything to make a better life for themselves and their family. Not always ethical things, but that's a story for another day. If they join 100 bounties and 10 paid out, they still made a few bucks is how they look at it. Not to mention, they prob have 15 accounts in each bounty.
Getting on topic, Irfan can only tell people what he is told. Nothing he can do to speed the process up.
