Yes, calculations are shady because it was no where mentioned that part of bounty amount will be returned for DApp competition prizes and to cover the damage from email phishing attack that happened prior to ICO.
Those are part of project costs and funds, its not the correct way to reduce fund from one pool after completion of your bounty and then transfer fund to another pool.
This is one of the general rules of the campaign so I hope that the changes are acceptable (and they are made according to the rules).
This is my first bounty campaign and I try to make it a good experience for all participants. I had to publish the details about twitter campaign earlier so all participants would be aware of the rules and bounty reward distribution. Sorry for not being clear (and also sorry for all delays with twitter campaign caused by slow development of twitter script).
I learned a lot of things during this campaign and will try not to repeat my mistakes.
Based on your new calculations of considering Max Stakes instead of Actual stakes you are directly reducing the Bounty Pool without even informing anyone. Lucky few of the fellow participants realized the issue with stakes.
After completion of bounty and calculation of stakes you try to change the Bounty pool is considered as Scam as you are not giving what was offered to the participants throughout the campaign! There should not be change of pool once bounty is completed!
Do not embarrass Aventus's name because of not paying bounty, investors can be disappointed if a project is not professional
