Hello, can you tell me if they are a lot of bounties scam ?

Pls help me

You can't tell actually. That's why it's risky.

You can consider some these factors to help you choose the right project to joined bounties:

-Goals
-Realistic roadmaps and developments
-Transparent team
-Media Exposure
-Always doing seminars or something like that

Good luck.

Not all Bounty Campaigns are scam because there are more of it that were are legit, but still there are some Bounty campaigns that are scam where after their presale or after their ICOs end they don't pay any tokens/ coins to the participants as they promise after completing a certain tasks. Its really a bad to be a victim of such campaign because you can't do anything about it all you can do is to warn everyone about it. To avoid these kind of disaster and a waste of time made your own criteria on joining bounty campaigns
first is that have a research about this campaign read all the reviews and all necessary information regarding this campaign.
Check out their ICOs check all the background of it such as reputations, ratings, recent projects and status of it.

   

Some bounty campaigns are scam, they are using fake details of thier team to attract investors and once they have the money on thier ico sale ,they will gone without any trace where did they go.

Always do a research about the campaign you are joining in, check thier roadmap the devs and the team if they are legit and real people. Thats the basic way to spot an scam campaign.

That's true, you will notice on who are the legit people behind those legit ICO's/bounties but for those that doesn't really have a team behind the management are totally fake and scams. Also don't fall for high stakes or rewards when it comes to their bounties because they are really attracting participants to advertise them with the hope that they'll get that much but in the end will just feel sorry about it.

first Check their website .
if it is reliable go for the bounty.
it is too risky in just joining in some bounty campaign
that's why you need to find some Reliable Bounty manager .
 

there are some Bounty campaigns that are deceiving to not pay coins.I have to read the projects.team and project should be good. comments about the campaign are important.

I've experienced and got fraudulent projects. But it's okay and I keep the spirit in every campaign I follow.

That's correct. Adding to this you need to watch the trust vote and comments by senior or up members about the bounty, since they are the one who trigger us about the campaign whether that is legitimate or scam. Also, scam bounties would promise to give away hight amount tokens or their coins which is actually not realistic. Apart from this a good campaign manager is also to be considered while joining.

Hard to tell at first if the campaign is legit or scam, you can only make a conclusion ince ypu will see bounty participants is complaining ,and the project is not running or the bounty manager abandoned thier bounty thread.

You should check on the projects you follow, you can start from the white paper, the team that runs the project, and of course the bounty manager who manages the bounty, from there you can see if the project is really going to run smoothly, it's rather hard to judge projects that we participate

yes there are a lot of scam bounties out there and they can be found mostly in altcoin > bouty section. ive been also a victim of it several time when i was a newbie on this forum because as a a newbie i can only participate on a bounty/ico campaign and not on a  signature campaign that pays in bitcoin weekly however i still receive some altcoins on some bounty that ive joined but the problem is their coins are still pretty cheap and likely to become worthless as the time goes because the devs are not active anymore on them to develop it and finished their roadmap.

that's right. not all bounty is a scam.
there is a bounty that does not share tokens with a convoluted reason and give false hope.

We will never know if it's a scam until it ends. Just do more reading and if it is something which is so good to be true, then I'm telling you, look for more. Don't be so eager to earn or else, you'll end up wasting your efforts.

most of the projects that postpone the timing of the distribution because the time is not right, because most token holders sell it at the beginning of the distribution of distribution so that haraga down seca significant

Yes there are Bounty campaigns that are really are scammed but they are not that many.
Being scammed by Bounty campaign is not directly the campaigns fault its also the participants faults for not reading and having a lot of reviews and research about such campaign and its ICO's
I do a lot of research comparisons before joining and participating on such campaign
i use to check their
ICO (Developer)
-Reputation
-Rating
-Popularity
-reviews
-past and present Projects and their status

Project Propossals
-The idea
-realistic
-The way there present
-Status
-development
-Roadmap
-and how promising their project is

The number of participants
-because having a lot of participants means that the project are famous or got a fame to catch peoples eyes and get them interested.

Buy these criteria you can assure that you are in a safe hand and your hardwork will not be wasted and be pay-off
As my research of finding a campaign I do suggest that one of the campaign who caught my attention is the
[BOUNTY-NEW][ICO] 🤖 Daneel.io: The 1st A.I Created To Help Crypto Investors
Main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2667581.0
running bounty program: DANEEL REVAMPED BOUNTY PROGRAM
These Bounty projects has the potential in mere future
they got the Idea, well created and well planned project.

It's true and some bounty campaigns are just good in the beginning and they'll let you believe that they're promising one until you're in their trap. Even you read all the necessary but still end up scam so joining is really a risk and you should accept early that it will not pay you.

It was mixed with real and fake
so you do not know what to share
You just have to look at the trusted one of an acount if it pays you or you just have to pay it
when you see a negative confidence in an account
you'll know that one of the scams you've got,
yes the scam is more, but do not worry that there are so many real and big payers
so you should not worry about things you do not know whether or not you really are
Just always think positively
for your livelihood and care

Have you been scam by any of them? I don't think we should make any speculations on this as I personally has been scam by a campaign I have participated for almost three months and the manager was no were to be found at the end of the ico and by now I know his new account should be member rank now.  You can be scam buddy but wait until that happens.

Actually as bounty campaigns sounds very promising and everything now is on demand, it is hardly to say whether it is scam or not. Others are good during ico pre-sale but once release , you haven't heard anything else from them. Had to properly check their platforms and whitepaper once you like to invest to something. Though many from it are profitable and working properly, you still wanna be sure that you are engaging on something that worths your time.

You should do your own research before participating and checking whitepaper, team and threads here are a must

ive joined alot of bounties on the past days ever since im just a newbie to junior member here in bitcointalk and mostly the bounties that i joined does not pay me after the said date and some of them has stop unexpctedly at the middle of the campaign. overall i can say that 80 to 20% of bounties ico capaign are mainly scam and wont pay you at all despite for your hard work and efforts. thats why until now , i dont do bounty to get an altcoin or token rather i just joined on some airdrops outside bitcointalk.

I think it depends on the bounty. because each bounty has its own characteristic when running the ico. and maybe now very rarely if bounty scam

There are many bounties scam on this forum and I have experience many of this bounties scam. I participated in sebeum and the refused to pay me us and both the developer and manager run away with our coin. I have also participated in some of the bounties that pay their token and uptill now has not pay us. I think many of those bounties that are doing this also has a scam projects too. I one can really analyze scam project from the way the owners handle their campaign too.

Do not be afraid to participate in the bounty, you do not invest your money, you just do the job and get tokens, the only thing you can lose when working with the bounty is your time

in the crypto-currency industry there are a lot of scammers, this is a fact, and it is necessary to fight with them, but with participation in the bounty you do not ask for money))) and if you are deceived, you will lose only your time

learn about the project as much as possible, learn about the organizers, find out what product they want to create, study the project website, study the road map and white paper, read reviews

study the site, learn the profiles of the organizers in social networks, read reviews about the project, study the conditions of the bounty, if they are very attractive - maybe it's scammers, read the project road map

a lot of bounties are fraudulent projects, but when you work with a bounty you have nothing to lose except time, and it's good, you do not ask for money, you can just do tasks and get tokens

the most important thing is information, learn as much as possible information about the project and about the organizers, read the reviews, study the site, if you are promised very attractive conditions, then maybe it's scammers, all information should not cause questions

Time is Gold we might not able to invest or nothing to lose but the time and the work been done wont really be an easy thing to accept to ourselves and as a bounty hunter we would really be pissed due to this one.There are lots of scam bounties in the fact that this is one of the ways on how to make money easy out of those investor being scammed wont really be easy either we invest or not.

I haven't heard of any bounty scam yet. But there may be some

Banal scammers are easy to calculate. On a bad site, the lack of information about the project team. But if the scammers are clever, then only indirect signs. Super technological fantastic project - a scam. (robots, perpetual motion machines, quantum accelerators, and so on). The statement that celebrities are participating in the project is probably also a scam.

Do they are Lot of bounty scam?

Yes theres a lot of scam Bounty flooded around and lots are good too but after the unsuccessfull ICO run they will not pursue it and stop the project but others keep pursuing it they dont bother of any ICO result the more important is they will launch the platform and show the Cryptocommunity that it has a working app or platform its a matter of vision and Hope.

the only thing there is that, it has to come with the project you trust any bounty you trust can earn you but if don't trust i don't it will favor you.
there are no bounty scam

You can monitor the progress of bounty on the ANN board and their telegram group. usually scam indications on some projects after the ICO period about 25% of the time remaining. You will see some opinions from bounty participants about the progress of the project.

Recently there are quite alot of bounty scams ongoing. Some are not paying out, some also which pay out but the project totally failed and the coin is nothing worth.
As an example the Denaro bounty was quite a big scam.

Currently I'm doing the one from CyberMiles. Very trusted and already on the market. That's indicators for me for a good bounty.

true, telagram is the solution to know the progress of the project,
telegram a collection of several project teams and lots of questions
which is useful to note

There is no choice for us until if we don't see any progress. Most of the ICO, are getting into scam without further updates from the company, during the ICO the marketing will focus on marketing the product but failing to develop after the ICO.

Now there are many bounty scam, especially those moderated by beginner dev. Not that I'm dropping them (beginner dev). I do not know if with their new identity to handle the project, incorrectly used by scammers.
And I am more cautious again on bounty that does not involve any dev. which is in the forum, this can be seen on the name of members who post about their bounty program. The user name is the same as the company or coin or token they offer. This is more often a scam.

The scam or not of a project depends on the performance of the team, and we must be smart in choosing it because it is our risk, although no financial loss but will be a loss of time. It is difficult to assess the project is a scam or not. sometimes there are projects in the scam will turn out after the release of the project has a high enough rate.

First, ICO you wouldn't know that group is scam since they will be active and everything will be taken care of but many will observed that after sales soft cap, pre sale and other sales, their activity would be less likely and post in social media becomes low.... That's one sign of scam ICO.

This do results on seeing lots of shitcoins in the market because when a certain coin is listed on exchange developer do tend to leave it and dont make any updates which i do see its much better compared to those projects or coins that didnt even hit up on exchangers.When we do talk about bounty scam this is the most common thing where developers do make because making money is quiet easy specially when fooling out investors.This is why we should really be careful on investing.

Lots of scams through bounty.
All I can do is check out the bounty manager's experience. if in the history of the post has done a lot of successful projects. I do not doubt it.

You can take a look at the scam accusation board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

As you can observed, there are scam bounties and some of the people behind this bounties at the beginning do not intend to scam its participants. Maybe because the pre-ICO or ICO is not successful they have decided to stop the campaigns and did not inform its participants which is unprofessional so they turn out to be a scam. There are scam ICOs wherein the ICO is successful but the people behind it really intended to scam the investors and bounty participants. There are different reasons that's why you should do your due diligence when deciding to join a campaign and even more research if you decided to invest on it. Do not expect much on receiving a payment in the campaigns because there is always a risk that you will not be paid.
