Sputnik for AmigaOS bounty cancelled

That was after a lot of pushing to give some extra information about the progress.

I think bounties without deadlines are stupid anyway and I hope this has made that clear.

I think the whole bounty for a webbrowser for OS 4 was created because the Firefox one wasn't and isn't going anywhere and at the time it didn't look like anyone was willing to port a browser.
Then suddenly OWB and Netsurf appear which made the whole bounty for Sputnik mostly obsolete.

Since he already had the AmigaOne for a long while and then the lack of status reports didn't really help.

You are quite wrong there. A lot of people asked about getting their money back or being able to transfer it to Netsurf or OWB. So in the end it were the people that put the money in the bounty that had a part in the cancellation.

Did you actually read everything posted related to this?

Why should his work be worthless?

He could just also continue his work. If he is able to port it to OS 4 and make it stable and support it he will easily get that amount of money in donations.
