Links suchs as https://www.bountysource.com/issues/44025760 redirect to https://app.bountysource.com/issues/44025760

But it looks like app.bountysource.com no longer resolves properly (it's a CNAME to a domain which does not exist).

Wikipedia states:

As of June 2023, Bountysource appears to have stopped paying bounties to developers with verified claims. The Blockchain Group also appears to have stopped responding to Bountysource users.[11][12]

I think that the service is dead and the link ought to be removed.

Please do check the second reference there: it looks like bountysource is insolvent and not paying out at all, so it's best to remove references to them entirely.

@WhyNotHugo Oh no, this sounds bad. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I should've yeeted them on reading the word "Blockhain Group" 😭.
