So how do you (bounty managers) keep track of the participants. Including wether they still have their signature, count the posts they made in this week, twitter things etc.

im not a bounty  manager but i think they are using an automated software that can check whether participants have removed their sigs or not , these softwares can also do what campaign managers cant do such as collecting their bitcoin/eth addreses , counting post count and character limits but campaign managers manually do the checking regarding on their post quality if it is constructive or spam/burst posting. softwares also know and can detect copy pasters/plagiarize post.

I'm not a bounty manager either but are you trying to ask because you are a potential campaign/bounty manager?

I don't think there is such automated software that they are using. AFAIK, they are manually checking the posts and also if the participants are still wearing the signature/avatar.

What are those software you mentioned? Do you know any?

Bounty managers manually do it since they also verifying the quality of post made by their participants. But their are others who use some automated tools where their bots automatically counts the post made by their joiners and the Bitmixer is one of the sig camps who to that recently but I won't recommend that to be used by new managers since Bots doesn't verify those unquality post and unrelevant ones.

Sometimes campaign managers do manual checking everyweek just to check every participants post,or if the participant is still wearing the signature

Not really, i was just wondering if there is a market for making an application that just goes through the Google Slides, checks users, how many posts they made, what signature they wear, and then fill the data back to google slides. Perhaps also gets their recent posts and does some text analysis on them (to eliminate spam posts etc.) which could give user a rating of how 'good' their posting is (or bad).

I think they use a special application to calculate it, or maybe bounty manager has some assistant to help him calculate manually, if calculated per week I think not too heavy, I am also curious about this, if using the app, what kind of application are they using?

they are using some basic sycripts to follow and calculate tweets. Only I kknow this.
Also probably they work hard :)

I thought you are starting to make your own career as a bounty manager.

Look at the google spreadsheets of each bounties, they have their own style, putting time stamp, starting post count etc.

And there's no way to automate it not until someone who will develop it exclusively to make their job easier. There are campaigns before that are automatically counting post, like bitmixer.

I think they are manually checking every participant's activities. Even us can check everyone's activities here. What's the point of being a bounty manager anyway if they're using automated software?

This is not hard find is someone report social activity and give him stake.

If I was a bounty campaign manager I'd definitely use some software for a first weekly check to get rid of users, who didn't manage to write an appropriate number of posts (in the required forum section and amount of symbols in them). After that I'd check manually the ones who passed.

Actually most of the managers keep track of their participants progress through automated process,but only few managers do it manually because automated precess will leads to wrong counts this is due to many old post will be deleted by moderators so the post counts will decrease so if they only calculate with start and ending post counts then it will become an error so only some managers do it on timestap process.
If you want to get clear idea then it is better to contact the managers personally because no one want to reveal their secrets to public. ;D

Most bounty managers just really count the post on twitter and forum and rarely check the quality. Some really used software to check the participants if they are wearing signature from time to time.

That's really a hard task to do and time consuming, kudos to our bounty managers out there :)
I have never been a bounty manager but i think this job must be done manually because there will be some miscalculation or even some errors with quality checking of post in terms of signature campaign.

Yep they are mostly counting it manually but I have to disagree with what you said through the next quote.
Not all bounty managers are rarely checking the quality. There are countless managers that doesn't really do their job as manager but don't assume that all of them aren't checking the quality.
Software that I know used for campaigns are only used for counting posts with minimal characters and yes that's the other thing for remaining wearing signature.
It is why we should respect them.

Its a manual thing which theres no automated software that would tell them if a participant removed a signature or not. This is one of the hard thing to track as a manager. You should really check each participant if anyone leaves. There are still cheaters on campaign where they do remove sig and then suddenly comeback there are some members on do forum make reports to manager regarding on such behavior.Once proven then they do decide on kicking it out.

Is there a list of bounty managers available.  I know of someone who is planning to start a bounty program of an upcoming ICO.

Thanks,

There are no specific software developed by the community. I think most of the managers will check manually in order to keep track of every person whether wearing the signature and whether performing correctly or not.

It is better to check everything yourself, as any automatic program can be deceived, so I prefer to count everything myself.

If you are looking for the campaign manager or want to know the list thread. Please check the below link.

As much I noticed these campaign managers are very feeble to the owner and manage the campaign participants also well without any trouble.

How can I reach out to these campaign managers?

They check participants manual or they are using bots. Twitter participants usually post their twits in bounty threads so managers can count them.
Send them PM or write in their manager thread, I know yahoo62278 has thread in services so probably other managers have their threads there too.

i have seen that some bounty managers use spreadsheets and note everything down. i think its really tedious work since they have to manually check. now that we are into it, can someone make a software that automates bounty management- although that would probably mean end of careers
