I have reported dozens of bugs as a employee, and never got a cent from it, not a raise, nor a bonus. My name doesn't appear in the press releases.
No, i'm not lucky enough to live in the first world.
No, I can't afford to travel to meet people by myself and get a better job.
I dont have enought money in the bank to start a enterprise, and anyway that would be stupid, in the third world startups only get penauts.
I would like to have a job that allows me to have a car and a house, and then I would release the bugs for free. But right now I can't afford to do that.
I'm sure this is the situation of dozen of security employees of third world enterprises.
I've never sold a bug, but in the future I plan to start a family, so #nomorefreebugs, hell yeah.
