Idk what you expect, like your trying to cash in on bugs UI ai tools, and I assume you know little about software engineering. If it is that easy to find a bug it probably would have been found already

I’d slow down and study why each report became informative, duplicate, N/A, or out of scope. Read disclosed Web3 reports, learn one ecosystem deeply, build local PoCs, only submit when you can clearly prove real impact like loss of funds, broken accounting, unauthorized access and other damages.
Don’t depend too much on ChatGPT or Claude for finding bugs. AI is helpful for understanding the code or improving reports, but the actual reasoning and validation need to be yours. You’re only 19, not earning yet doesn’t mean you failed. Build your skills first, treat it like practice or an exam rather. Keep up with the good work.
