What Hacker News says?

  1. It was a big con https://davegebler.com/post/musings/web-3-0-the-great-con I liked the idea of bounties being paid in crypto but now bounties have problems too, someone needs to figure out a decent bounty site/scheme to avoid hundreds of people trying to claim then then wasting time producing nothing
