I would gladly monetize my router, if it didn't lag every 15 minutes

I'm wondering that too. At this moment, it seems to me this project is abandoned. No news, ann post & bounty spreadsheets not updated, Telegram channel unmoderated,...

people paid in quarters....so you can imagine... it will take a long time to count...
they are only monetizing their route

The World Wi-Fi Triad — Router owners and operators

The World Wi-Fi triad depends on its end users (browsers) and its advertisers to function, but it is the router owners that form the foundation of the system. It is the router owners and operators that tie everything together. Therefore, it is especially important that they are reimbursed in proportion to their importance.

And what better way to be reimbursed than in cold, hard cryptocurrency? You let people use the network that you aren’t using to its full potential and in return they watch ads. And advertisers pay you for the opportunity to advertise to a geographically targeted audience.

This is the World Wi-Fi triad: Advertisers, End users, and router owners.

But first let’s start with the basics: why router operators should sign up for World Wi-Fi and let strangers use their internet connections.

Before one hundred years great scientist Nikola Tesla was dreaming about providing wireless electricity connection for a whole world. Tesla was one of the biggest minds of 20th century and person ahead of its time in every sense. Even today we are still using vires to get electrical energy to our homes, luckily for us, some things have become wireless, like Wi-Fi internet connection. The only problem with wireless Wi-Fi is that routers broadcast signals just in the limited distance. We all know that situation when we are leaving our homes and need to rely on often too expensive and slow mobile internet with limited traffic. If Tesla were alive today, he would probably work on solving this problem. Unfortunately, he is not with us anymore, but there is a great team working to resolve this with their World Wi-Fi project.

World Wi-Fi integrates private routers into a single network and provides free Internet all over the World!. The project will allow router owners to receive fees from advertising by connecting advertisers with target audiencies.

Has anyone received a reward for a bounty company?

"Of course it could be legit"  Unfortunately no. It is now a proven SCAM. This project is no more.
