So a startup with 100k total funding got messaged a major company crushing bug. What should they offer for such a big find, 50k? Half their runway?

It's not that rewards should be small for big finds, but if you are legit poor, you have limits on what you can do.

Rewards should always be in accordance with made-up words IMHO.
