 I want to know bounty programs also scam because i was join 2 different programs both are is over but after 1 month i still not receive anything .how we  know which bounty programs is good or not scam

There are projects that is an obvious shit and there are good projects that will show good characteristics at first and then later on will eventually turned into shit. That's how risky joining bounty programs so better be cautious and understand the risks. As much as possible research on any kinds of useful resources such as ICO ratings website, Google search etc.

About your payment concerned on a specific bounty, did you already read the terms about bounty payment e.g via team or bounty manager? or even read the latest annoucement about it? You must know that first because maybe you might not informed yet.

Yess, i agree with you, sir. There is no guarantee about legit or not of bounty program, even we have feeling and the project show the great value. Because there is always have this risk as you said.

But my sugestion to TS to follow manager or bounty hunter who have good experience and the trusted one. This is also my way to find and join bounty program.
Cheers!

I have not done a BTT bounty before,I started bounties with Signals and since I enjoy the automatic tracking so much,I researched and discovered Bountyhive.. So far so good,I have always received prompt payment from them whenever I complete a bounty campaign.

You have to follow them closely, follow their twitter, like facebook,wed security, have a clear WHITEPAPER, roadmap ... especially the amount of token allocated to the project is reasonable, and important The bounty poster must have high rank and prestige. A few things for you to reference!

The issues related to the world of really scary code, bonuses and the traders are bringing the panic in my thoughts. How to choose a good bonus to work? any what share?

Bounty, and you get no tokens after one month wait, well you should see they "the ico" have a good team with also web which is can help their sell their tokens, and also you should check the whitepaper first also if you get accepted or not see and find your name on spreadsheet (if have). And do what they said, you are just a bounty hunter and they are the boss.
do it and you will get your tokens.

How will I know which bounty to trust, if I am to join?

I also get bounty the scam, I am confused should choose bounty how to avoid scam. with your explanation this is very helpful to me, thanks.

Some things may be responsible for the delayed/no payment: Project is scam, Bounty manager is scam, you didn't meet requirement for payment, or payments are being delayed. So maybe try look clearly into these factors.

Why do many team distribute token proceeds only after their ICO ends. Does any one know?

do a research about the bounty project your going to join with. Some members do not reseach about thier campaign and in the end of the campaign they complain cause the project went to scam.

When i reading some post here I got an Idea how good bounty to join. One of their basis is having a good bounty manager here the link to know the list
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3106160.msg32088041#msg32088041

I in that case:
- I study the quality of the site and white paper
- I study the rating on the sites icobench.com, icorating.com
- I find information about the team
- I look at the presence of the group in telegrams and the presence of constant support is important - I study the opinions of people on the forum bitcointalk
And if the project is known and has a high rating, then I boldly participate in the bounty

Good luck

It is so easy for these bounty programs to not pay their members once they end.
Even the bounty managers can steal all peoples coins without the owner even being able to do anything.
So that right there tell you not to rely on getting anything after a project ends and a bounty is promised to you once it ends.

Most of the time bounty hunters wasting their time to a scam bounty ICO because they are only aiming for the reward without validating its company profile

I recommend to get you bounty ICO in icobench to make sure it is verified by professional consultant.

To the great regret to find out reliably about fraudulent or not fair programs of the bounti you can only after the end of the program. Although some programs initially look shitty. I advise before the participation in more detail to study the project and information about the team.

I don't t think the bounties were scam, I think the manager (s) were just not good or lazy.

Most projects have their bounty budget based on coins sold during ICO, so you can't calculate stakes before tokensale is over. Also it's common to make an audit before coins are distributed. Only when bounty rewards are in ETH/BTC, not in native tokens, they can be payed earlier.

bounty scam when the project is not active in all communications and forum project, start off and no respond.

so sad wasteing ones time on trash.i back check is always a good idea

I personally have never encountered a scam bounty.
In general, it is a good idea to approach a bounty in which you want to invest more work like an ICO you want to invest in (because most bounties are from ICOs)
So if you would be confident to spend money on the ICO, because the whitepaper and team look solid, then participating in the bounty should also be a safe call.

Good luck to you all!

First of all, you should tell us on which two programs did you participate so that we can study and tell you whats going on there.
Secondly bounties programs are usually for the ICO and we have to wait even more than a month to get our rewards and coins so it is not a big deal. A scam is only if you get a coin and it is not listed anywhere and you cant even sell it .  :(

One and the most important thing to consider is to always look at the project, their ICO ratings and the extremely important thing is to check if they already have a working product? Do they have an already paying customers? These are the early sign of filtering good projects from bad projects.

Another thing for any project is to check their main website age? If they have working product surely they are working for quite some time! check their domain age from whois and verify if they are legit. Although there is no guarantee at all in this process but these are the early signs for you to take a decision.

Like a previous poster said, you probably won't encounter many scam bounties as these people will get shut down on a regular basis. What you will encounter is a bounty where the token will go post ICO and totally crash as everyone sells their coins and buyers dry up. These will feel like scam platforms, but really they just aren't making an impact with buyers.

So choose your bounties wisely. If the platform can function without the token, then stay away!

я yчacтвyю в бayнти yжe 3 мecяц и нe пoлyчилa ни oднoй выплaты.Ужe чтo-тo pyки oпycкaютcя.

I am as a beginner in this bitcointalk world, I would like to ask if there is any characteristic of certain characteristics for bounty scam? Please explain. Thank you in advance for your reply.

If the ICO is a scam, then so will the bounty. To assess a ICO and its bounty consider:

1. An inexperienced team
If the team is comprised of individuals that lack experience or gravity in the crypto sector, then this can be a warning. The presence of venture capture capitalist known in the field should be a big green light – without these individuals, then this could be cause for concern.
2. No use case for the token
If the token can be replaced by Ether or BTC, then it’s not really needed.
3. Poor community on Bitcointalk or Telegram
Community can make or break a coin.
4. No signs of a major exchange
This one is a tough one. Platforms during the ICO are not allowed to talk about exchanges for legal reasons so you have to consider many threads to take a view on whether it is likely to make it onto a big exchange (consider community size, backers, whitepaper, team aims). Getting on the Binances and Bittrexs really does benefit the early investor.
5. Public sale is too long
It’s better to raise 100% of $15 USD than 50% of $50 million USD.

Don't waste your time on scam platforms !

That's just the reason i joined bounties of trusted manager on the forum, just like smauni handling medichain bounty, i do follow all his bounties....

Me too. To participate in Bounty or Airdrop, please check carefully before joining, to avoid cheating, please refer to the Coin or Ico evaluation site if more people are interested, you should join.
This is one of the coin reviews I like the most

Hope it will help you

Has it been 1 month since the end of the bounty? First of all, check to see if you are on the bounty list of hunters, then look when the distribution of tokens is promised. If the distribution has already passed, and nothing has been added to you, then write to the campaign manager. But, of course, if nothing has come to anyone and everyone is writing that it is a scam, then most likely it is ...

Bounty going scam if the official telegram inactive and the admin not responding to answers questions from member, And if ico end distribution still not paying. You also can check at whitepaper and roadmap, be carefully

Recently Bounties has developed a lot of ways to scam people in the cryptocurrency community. Nowadays the scam bounties are the ones responding to questions quickly. They even go to an extent of distributing coins to investors and participants a good example is CRESTONIUM ICO. Am just confused don't know how to know scam ICO nowadays. I will advice all investors and participants to be extremely careful good luck!

I also wanted to really know this but with the threads and posts that I read, I think its almost impossible to know which ICOs are a scam. The only thing to do to lessen the chances of participating in bad or scam ICOs is to look for credible managers.

They are some trusted bounty manager you need to always do their bounty like the one handling medichain, colorlessk of bountyhive and amazix team bounty...

There’s nothing worse than working hard on a bounty and getting paid
Peanuts. There’s a few where I worked hard and got very little. An example would be
arc block. In the end they paid me something like 1o usd per blog post and a couple of cent
per tweet. I got about 4o usd in the end for months of work. Bearing in mind my blog gets 39k plus global visitors per month and potentially I could have made them over 3ok usd from sales it’s a kick in the cahoonies - this is what u have to deal with sometimes.

I also need this knowledge to avoid the later participation in the reward activities to be cheated!

Reward activities are important activities to earn a free token!

Perhaps, you just weren't lucky and you chose a company that didn't raise enough funds for ICO. I would like to advise you to participate in bounty-projects, which administration team - AmaZix!

AmaZix do run professional bounties and can always be contactable for issues. They respond in a quick, timely and effective manner so these bounties can be replied upon to get a fair pay out. Obviously they can't guarantee that the team behind the coin actually pays, but you won't get shafted by them in the bounty process if you play by the rules. One thing to consider when taking part in  AmaZix bounties is that they are pretty rigorous on content bounties so don't think you will get paid for creating low-quality content! Read their guidelines and you should be putting yourself in a good place to get the final payment.

i planned to join bounty and then bounty who accepts newbie is a scam,,

i hope bitcointalk can filter scam bounty soon...

You will never get a bounty on the campaign unless you have thoroughly studied this project. Any information is already a big plus for deciding whether to participate or not in the campaign bounty. Do for yourself an extended analysis of the project always.

Yes, this is the real truth, I participated in many of their bounty campaigns. The kids are very strict but fair. Not quality content immediately flies into the stove. But if you do everything right and on time, you will receive a good reward.

Indeed, if you look at some of their content bounties 100s of people get binned off. Normally, it's because they are pumping out many crap blog posts written in poor English. So guess what, if you write or vlog in a high quality way about that particular project then you get more of the share as the scammers are found out. Also they are very good at counting signature posts on here so you'll always get fair reward. If you pick a bounty ran by them and it's not overly subscribed you can earn good coin.
