Bounties can discourage those who would have done the work anyway as people work a lot behind closed doors and when it fails to attrackt good mercenaries, it can be a net negative overall. This is why I'm trying to push people into the light and to collaborate instead of just racing towards something nobody knows if it's a valid finish line.
In this case here, a bad outcome would be a "polished" product where the mercenaries themselves couldn't be bothered to dig back into the mess they left on the code side of things. Therefore I think protocols are more important than products and don't quite understand why fiatjaf disregards nip34's importance for the bounty.
