What? Do they really want to keep the award money if nobody solves the problem?
- nolok 6y agoIt means they have a direct interest in making sure nobody solves the problem and win the bounty.
- csunbird 6y agoExactly. This also means they can make the user experience bad at finding bugs or throw in additional clauses that disqualify participating bounty hunters to claim the money themselves. Think of Amazon's search: Finding the correct thing you want, sold by your preferred/official merchant is kind of impossible. They can pull the same thing, so the bounties stay unsolved.
