Some people would say that bounty participants are given free tokens and so they feel they should not be treated well and perhaps not be paid.
Even if you do not invest your money directly into a project, you have indirectly invested money.
- The time you spend in promoting a project is much more precious than money, because time spent or wasted cannot be regained, while money can still be regained even if wasted.
- You have spent your energy and effort. As a matter of fact, there are people that sleep so late at night, just because they are trying to promote a project. Except you feel you are not honest enough.
- The electricity used, internet facilities used and other amenities used are paid for. For instance, in my country, there is no free internet facility and i spend so much on browsing data.
All of these if looked into sometimes and the cost implication made, might be much more than the money anyone might have invested directly into a project.
Therefore, you are not to beg for tokens, you are also like any other investor, who has invested his/her money.
If your services are not needed as bounty hunters, there would not have been any token allocated for that.
The right word is claim and not beg.
Bounty hunters is not a beggar, I also don't think that they deserve to beg for their token rewards. Because they're not receiving it for free, in exchange that each participants need to comply the task needed for weekly because if they fail, obviously they won't get any stakes. There is no different for an employee which is no work, no pay. They may not invest any money but they've invested time and effort for believing they will be rewarded after the project in accordance to the rules they have in the bounty thread. So, if they ask about their bounty rewards its their right of way to know it. If they fulfill all the task on which you have the owner of the project also must fulfill their obligation to give what is deserve for the bounty hunters who helped them out to get an investors.
