What to do with invalid bounty question?

0
0

I've recently asked this question. It didn't receive much attention, so I decided to put up a fifty-point bounty since I was getting desperate. It received some attention, and received two upvotes, however, it did not receive any answers.

A few days later, I made a fresh checkout of code and realized that the problem no longer occurred (this despite the fact that they are absolutely the same code).

To quote my comment:

Um... Hi, guys. The bounty has ended and I still had no progress with the problem at hand. Shortly thereafter, I decided to do a fresh checkout and miraculously, the issue no longer exists. I am not sure now on what to make of the question. Any ideas?

I've flagged it for moderator attention days ago, but no action has been done yet.

Should I delete the question? Do something else? What about the bounty? If possible, I'm interested in having my reputation refunded, after all, nobody was awarded the 50 rep.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Thanks to Louis's comment, now I understand that the 50 points deducted from me was also a sort of toll so I can put my question up on priority over others -- it wasn't a payment for the answer. So I'm no longer looking for a refund, so to speak. I paid and got what I paid for.

EDIT:

As advised, the question is now deleted.
