I think what you are looking for is a viable escrow system on Lightning, where bounties can be pre-funded and paid out based on a set of conditions. I know some people have discussed and maybe attempted to build this, but I’m not sure what the state of that is at the moment.

escrow is hard and risky
Both valid points. It's hard to set a rigid smart contract condition I think, and requires a bunch of building. Plus you never know what the breach will be.
Prob just easier to have trusted arbiters. Ya I gotta think. I'm not super passionate about this. But I think it's an important solution. nostr:nprofile1qqswum4p82uluhz2dr40nvdrflspffntgqghc58w9fs57nx6jkdkuaqpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny5dhgt8
And when you have an arbiter you have custodial risk and being a custodian is MUCH HARDER in terms of risk.
Exactly, nobody wants to be the custodian. Too many targets on their back.
Trusting a custodian is hard. Being one is harder.
Especially when the target market is penetration testers. Particularly the most skilled ones.
Sometimes we just gotta be courageous and do what needs to be done tho. That's what trailblazing is about.
