The subset of people who have (a) the skillset to identify these errors, (b) the time and effort, and (c) for whom 200K is meaningful is vanishingly small Even if you satisfy (a) and (c), you probably don't have (b). That is, if you're a good dev without much money the optimal risk/reward for your effort is to either start a company or join one, either way you just lost (b). Put differently, it's just not worth the opportunity cost of spending weeks pouring over a seemingly battle-tested five-year-old protocol to maybe (**maybe**) get a slice of 200K. If, however, you have (a), but not (c), then you might have (b). In which case you're a good dev who's already rich with plenty of time on their hands. Well now 200K isn't that meaningful, and so if you're going to spend the requisite time to identify a bug like this you might think to yourself "hmmm, why should I take the 200K when I can have 9M instead? 200K doesn't move the needle, but 9M does." https://x.com/banteg/status/1995803682760269959
