Earlier quoted context omitted.

>$100 for someone in SV isn’t much. $100 USD for someone in Africa, India, some parts of Asia could be a week or even months salary. That's kinda irrelevant. A Macbook Pro is still around $2k USD whether you're in US, EU, LATAM, Africa or India. They don't sell it cheaper to people in developing nations just because they earn less money.

You do know that there are ways online without a MBP? And that developing countries do have access to the internet too.

That's offtopic form what I was replying to.

Then that would make your comment off topic from what everyone else was talking about.

Closing the program is totally reasonable. However, there is another option: Make submitters pay a nominal fee that is returned in the case that a real bug is found.

Make a global leaderboard for bug bounties. Successful bounty is +5 points, a nonsense submission is -10 points.

Hell, use blockchain for it to keep the ledger valid an hard to corrupt.
