Last month BugBounty- more posts qualified counted but no reward
For last month’s bugbounty, when I claimed my reward for May bounty, I had 65 qualified posts. I checked today again, on 13th of June, and it says 70 posts, so 5 more posts have been marked as “qualified” this month and marked for last months reward. But haven’t recieved the reward for those. Is this a case of the qualified posts carrying over for another reward pool at some point?

Think mine was the same, definitely counted up more “Qualifies posts” than were rewarded 🤔
I am also aware of someone who did have a qualifying post but received no reward from the bug bounty, I’ve been told he reached out to the team and was told it is at their discretion which ones get part of the bounty so that could explain it, maybe just because it’s “qualified“ doesn't mean it will get a reward from the bug bounty?
that is a very good point tbh
However if that’s the case maybe there should be another label once the team decide if it will be put forward for reward… I’ll mention it in a post to see if that’s the case as I’ve only heard it as passed through a circle of friends at this point 😅
Answers from the team
i understand that, thanks. but what happens to those extra qualified posts? when will they be rewarded and how?😁
from what the team have said previously, any posts that don’t Qualify for this month due to needing additional time to investigate will be rewarded in the following month (assuming that what we’re referring to here)
i get that and it was clearer when they changed the posts to “Rewarded” after being paid out, this made it easier to cross reference 😅 but with the new system it doesnt show that. I did also raise this in a post a week or so ago 😅
that makes sense…but wouldn’t it then be more logical to count those additional qualified posts in the “new” month bugbounty? instead of the old one where the qualified posts have already been rewarded🤔
I think they'll change the logic of the stats to count the month according to when it was tagged
okay gotcha, so it’s basically just a display issue at the moment
I think it's fair to suggest that the
Increase in the number of eligible bugs could be graded to increase the size of the prize pool 🤔
I know last month Robert mentioned increasing the reward pool if more users took part, I think we have been seeing an increase of new users so this is something they may action at some point, just needs to be a little more clarity on what posts are receiving part of the bounty, I also mentioned in a separate post that at least if we had a link back to the posts in the form of a list for each month it would give an indication of what has been dealt with and what remains outstanding 🤞🏼
This is my post regarding clarity of what had been paid in the reward pool and what is still being carried over to a consecutive month
So what's the tally? I too was qualified and received bounty for one post but later another one was qualified so now I have two posts for may but have received bounty for 1
I understand that the logic is modified so that the number for May is still 1, and the extra one counts towards the June event
Shouldn't the extra qualified May post be somehow registered to roll over to June?
Well I had 1 post for June and now I have 2 but I am sure that a completely new bug was counted as it was fixed today, and it isn't the old May one.
In any case maybe the team can input a link to our qualifying posts is that on the works?
I think this is a good solution, I posted this previously but still awaiting feedback from the team but a link to qualifying posts would make it much clearer
Can you link that post please ty
I had 1 qualifying post for may which I have claimed already. When I checked May's rewards there were 2 posts yesterday which would mean that I'd have an extra rolling to June. Also at the same time I had 2 posts for June, so 2+2.
The extra post for May's pool is one that got qualified with delay, after the bounty.
Today, thought, I again have 1 post for May's pool and still 2 for June.
So what's changed? And where is the extra post gone 👀
