Things that I noticed here:
1. You need to be a Bounty Manager.
Is that a prerequisite? A new account won't be able to do it?
No, you don't have to be a bounty manager to participate bounties. And anyone who seem to be representating or tasked to run a bounty by a client, you do it on your own diligence.
2. I don't see any bounties now.
Has the bounties and hunters phase faded away?
Not yet and there's still a lot of it but only few becomes successful.
Help: Did anyone organize one or participate in a recent bounty? Would be great if you could share the link.
I am in one now and this is the 2nd phase of their bounty.
