If you're listed in https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/blob/master/awards.csv and still haven't been paid, I think they'd still be willing to pay.

I think they took away contributor bounties though because too many bots were trying to claim them.

back when they were still doing contributor bounties

Oh! I saw I got awarded some sats a few months ago but I didn't claim it. Didn't know it was gone. It was very generous imho - at least in my case.

I haven't done anything for a while, but that's more because my focus turned towards my SN research project vs. contributing code.

I think that your SN research project was awesome. You're very skilled.

It's also why I didn't put too much effort in running stats on the downzaps when they started happening - I feel like an imposter. I did some things in R, like try to see if those never ending downzaps were hurting 

, because that was hit hardest. But I am not a statistician and I can't make soup out of this. No sers. I will stick to reporting how many blocks are signaling BIP-110 😂

My comparative advantage is still research work and not programming.  No idea how I can get paid for sats for that.

In applied form, I expect this to become needed. Not when everyone is panicking or partying due to NgD/NgU respectively, but in the middle, when businesses build. Some of the Bitcoin businesses have become big enough to need someone that
