I told you your project didn't fulfill the bounty criteria, but that I would nonetheless send you the money because of your other valuable work on Nostr. I stand by that, but if you're going to create a smear campaign against me for literally no reason than maybe I shouldn't. Honestly, the work you did to receive the bounty was ridiculous and took you 20 minutes, when the actual expected work should have been much more. You also didn't fulfill the promise you made to me that you would make look good and have a nice UX.

Also because of this incident I've decided to not offer any more bounties and I'm looking for better ways to spend Jack's money to make Nostr better. Bounties are too easy to exploit with some crap delivered by opportunists that just want to make a quick buck instead of by someone who actually cares about making a good product for the common good -- and having objective criteria for bounties is impossible. I thought this time it would work because I had a clearly subjective criteria, but that can also be exploited too by the creation of drama, so there is no way. View quoted note → If you have suggestions of how to put Jack's money into good use for the benefit of Nostr please let me know. Message me on (Nostr DMs don't work).
The bounty offer was clearly subjective and deliberately so. You could have asked what defined "nice UI" before you wasted those 20 minutes of your life or not bothered at all with the bounty. No one forced you to work for 20 minutes on something you didn't care about.
Dick move? You just wrote a giant post calling me for not paying you in your best preferred timeframe.
The best thing you could do for yourself, and nostr, is not be the one distributing jacks money. People are too difficult, and you don’t have the disposition for it.
I don't know the bounty requirements , and I don't know the complexity of the problem but hist.nostr.land has a terrible UI
No icon, tables with borders, first word lowercase letters, it lacks of appeal. It's....essential
I don’t believe this is meant to be a ‘smear campaign’ at all. He is upset about that fact that he delivered something and was promised payment, whether it took him 20 mins or 2 years doesn’t matter the fact that it was delivered as originally stated then payment must be made. From a business point of view, he delivered and payment must be made. Next time perhaps you should define points better beforehand. It makes bad business sense and unethical Nostr vibes to not pay him as you have stated above. Let’s not divide Nostr over this.
I have no say in this. And I probably shouldn’t put my self in between. But… Fiatjaf shared the work with everyone and promoted it. Declared his satisfaction with it multiple times. That alone is an admission of completion. If Fiatjaf isn’t satisfied with it, it shouldn’t have been shared with nostr as complete. It’s really as simple as that. Additional thoughts: Who cares about the UI of something you rarely ever interact with. Maybe once every year if something bad happens. With that said, how difficult is it to center the text and put a nice font on it. Must be easier that the first part of the task. If that took “20 minutes”, 20 more minutes will polish it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Work should be splitted in parts so that risk is diluted in small parts. Noone wants to work 1 year ans don't get paid on the final. If your risk limit is 20 hours, break down takas in chunks of 20 hours, so that I'd you lose trust, you just loose 20 hours of work, not 1000s. And as you accumulate more trust you can make chunks of 40 hours, or keep 20.

Was a "nice UI" part of the requirements?
