    Get real, guys. Bounties, even the biggest, are small donations, not fair payment.


    But thats exactly the point. I guess no one think that a bounty is eqal to a real salary (at least I don`t) and that a lot of idealism is needed to make such things.

    A bounty can never be more than a small donation to say "thank you" (allthough several people donated a small fortune for this particular stack)
    However, compared to all the other "bountiests" Sonic imho differs a bit.
    It would have been another thing if he had deciced from start to make a new commercial stack, which he would have sold then. If there was a demo then, fine. If it worked as it should people would have bought it, or if it doesn`t fit their need, then not.

    But a bounty is as you pointed out no salary...

    Ah well.. perhaps I was really to harsh, without any reason. I tried Mosnet several times, it doesn`t fit for me, I didn`t donate, and I won`t probably use Mosnet any time soon.
    So sorry if I was indeed to harsh.
