Money doesn't tend to motivate me in bug hunting, but the laptop I am writing this on, and my next holiday came from a bounty I received from Mozilla a couple of weeks ago. I would have have found and disclosed the bug responsibly, regardless of the bounty program. But it sure as hell feels nice to be rewarded some times. I was also awarded a gift by LastPass earlier this year for reporting a security problem and letting them fix it before blogging it up. The vast majority of bug reports go unrewarded though. I don't mind, when the software is open source, or isn't backed by a wealthy company/individual.
