Some Bounties Today is not Honest enough to Fulfilled its Promises Like Paying Bounty Ontime, Dont pay the rigth Amount etc.

Any thoughts about this Annoying Issue! You can mentioned those bounty that you think is not Honest or not Fulfilled its Promises like Distribution Date lapses.etc.

Last Time Im doing a Bounty It was Since November and Supposed to be Ending on Jan 21 But they Extend it for I month until Feb 21 and Almost 2 months is pass theres no payment was made atlast they said that the payment was start April 30 But Until now Payment is not sent. at first they said it was boasted a $17,000,000 dollars Bounty the Biggest in Bitcointalk History look at the price now its a huge dump? Failed Failed Failed promises..

If the ICO won't reach the soft cap, then the ICO is not successful. In this case, the most ICOs extend the sale period for weeks or months in order to sell more tokens. If they won't sell them, then the ICO and the bounty campaign are over. It is a risk that all of us get when we join a bounty campaign. If it is successful we get paid if not or if it is a scam we don't. That's all.

Postponing the payment of rewards for the bounty campaign is a serious reason to think about the project and its goals, if this happens it is very sad, not only investors who have invested money in the project but also the participants of the bounty who have invested their labor in the promotion of the project. Multiple campaigns that have finished conducting ICO more than a month ago,but still have not paid awards to bounty hunters is: KWH, Alttex, Grondigital MUSK, GIFcoin etc.

The last such bounty company was Live stars - they cut the pool, on the whole, I had to get $ 5000 for the signature and received $ 1000

So sad for all of us who have been waiting for almost a month for the labor that we have made in ICO bounty campaign but I think we cannot blame them also if they don't reach the target income that they expected that's why they cannot pay us but don't give up, try to join in another ICO project.

I agree with you. Make it a bad experience as learning to be more selective again in choosing projects.

Yes, you are right. some ico project makes many teams and managers into dark eyes. greedy nature to gain from token reward deductions. but there are also many bounty projects that pay exactly as promised. I think if there is any regulation on this matter, this possibility could be followed up.

I think this is a recent occurrence though. I don't remember hearing about fake bounty payments until the turn of the year, not on this scale anyway. I say clear of the announcement thread for that very reason now. I think its become very polluted and its just too much effort to find the decent project announcements.

It is a real shame when you have put in the required effort to a bounty campaign and the company does not fulfil its side of the bargain. I have experienced 2 of these so far, but beyond being annoying and a waste of our time there is nothing you can do about it. Just try and be selective over the chosen campaigns and run with respectable managers.

It's true that many of the bounty threads are a scam, so most of the time we need to choose a good manager.
Because a good bounty manager is responsible for the reward threads are generally reliable.

Nucleus Vision was the biggest scam bounty ever!! 5 mo and no payment .

Unfortunately it's true that this things happen. This is why you should try to do the bounties that are managed by the best teams and managers(like Sylon, Hotachy,Bountyhive, etc). This way you minimize the chances of getting bad bounty experiences.

Yeah I have encountered this type of project. I've done signature campaign on a project but they didn't gave the coins I've worked for. I just wasted my time and effort in posting. They just used people to promote their project. Good thing i didn't invest in it and just do bounty. I can trust a team that's not true to their words

Bounties are alwasy very risky, specially because we were in the middle of a huge correction. We all know that alts usually take the biggest hits when the market is crashing, and ICOs will not no exception. The sales surely drop quite a bit so I think it's normal for projects to pay less if they didn't hit their hard cap. The problem is that some bounties don't tell you that, and that is wrong. I prefer reading on a bounty that no payment will be maid unless the sell hits its cap, than for them to do so without letting us know (even though I'm already counting on it.)

I would say, choose a bounty with a trusted manager. Of course that it's not their fault if the bounties admin don't pay up, but I guess that good managers usually get good projects on their hands, and the chances of that happening are somewhat diminished.

I think it all depends on what you choose. If you choose an ICO where to pay a lot of money, then naturally you will not wait for them. A spit above his head, promising the kind of money that they will have only 150% success.

Before joining bounty campaign, probably you didn't pay attention on their project team quality and bounty manager. Fortunately, the only problem I only had, they took longer time to distribute their token for rewards. There is a good bounty manager list here in this forum, you can find their bounty that they manages and decide which bounties good for you.

I also experience same thing before, bounty deduction after the campaign is not good , it wil also affect the price if the bounty hunters immidiately sale thier bounty after the deduction and it will ending up to lost in investors side who trust thier project.

Yeah i agree with that the developer of an ICO is lier they all need to do is just to promise you falses until it gones all. Better to be curious as always some are scam ICO and some are not

You can't do anything about it. Even if you go there an yell at campaign managers it is not their fault as they did their job. Bounties are one of the riskier methods to earn money call it tokens or whatever but because of low entry that is required only to sign up for it many people are doing it. You can go there and bash the team members on Twitter etc. but it won't change the thing because it doesn't matter to them. Best you can do is I'd say forget about it and get over it, you don't want to put your energy and time one the line because of such small things. Next time maybe consider not to participate or what ever. I myself wasn't paid because the ico haven't reached soft cap, I could go and complain about it but that doesn't make the real benefit for me. Best is to let it go I think the true power is there.

The best example just like tokenpay because the developer is refusing to pay the bounty participants after the project has been raised hardcap and it's already traded 3x from the ico price. I can try to mention the rest if you want to know about them all. They are all running by shittiest scammers.

For now, I heard some bounty workers complaining about their efforts and works which are not actually being contributed exactly on what the bounty campaign have been promised. And also there are delayed of tokens distributions and delayed into market listed to legitimate exchanger.

Actually, false promises emanating from bounty project seem to be new trend in bounty campaign payment, it seem everyone is deferying payment for reasons best know to these campaign but definitely unknown  to hunters and investors!

Usually bounties cut payments if the company has not received the required amount. So be happy that you at least got something. Most companies in this case are closed and run away with the rest.

Although they have some ICO that will not response properly according to their  pledge after bounty campaign will end (due to some reason like will not really made successful to their project,) but we have also right ICO who has fully  committed and honest according to their pledge and I think some of them are many, compared to dishonest/fake ICO. because joining bounty campaign will also risk..

That's why we need to check the whitepaper and development team before jojNing any bounty campaign as some bounty campaign will have a rule saying g if they do not meet the soft cap then bounty participants will Not be paid hence we need to be extra cautious.

I understand how that feels specially if you participated their signature campaigns. Changing their mind repeatedly or every month is so annoying. I wonder if they realize what could be its negative impact to the platform, its community and to its investors. Having no concrete steps and keep moving the ICO date can spread a bad rumor to the project. The best example is 4NEW which have a token symbol of KWATT and the name of their token is FRNCoin. Phew! What a mess! Imagine, they changed their token name during ICO? They don't even payed their hunters accordingly or even match the number of token on what was promised. Super disappointed and totally waste of time.

Probably cause the delay is due to the Bounty Manager. They have been slow to work in the workplace. And Bounty campaigns pay less tokens due to the large number of people involved. In my opinion, each Bounty campaign should set a specific participant limit.

Hello community, I will share with you my experience of selecting the bounty to be sure that I will receive my rewards. First of all read the white paper and make sure that idea will have chance to survive. Good team, at least one all star. Good enough token economics, around 15 - 50 million dollars ICO cap should works fine. Hype, team, token economics, bit of luck))) I mean situation on the whole market will succeed. Hope this helps
If you like my point, please press +merit!

How can that be done? This matter could not have been very accurate, because many projects are dealing with themselves, and for the first time, they often cause problems. However, if they are handed over to a professional team, they rarely have problems.

Yes, admit it we all get annoyed when this situation happens so one thing we should do, for example is we should report it lets say the campaign promises it today the payment but you did not received it yet ask the campaign manager PM him or her haha. OR the team it self in the telegram group chat so they said that a week later you will get full payment but a week later no! and again, the next week later it happens again and again. You should at-least stop report it if a month had pass and the campaign did not do anything about it, did not even post about the situation report it to meta. 

Fortunately, for me, the worst that I've experienced in my time in this forum, is the delayed payment. Of course, I know that it might happen sometimes especially, if the campaign manager is working alone in the campaign. MadZ, is the campaign manager in the signature bounty campaign that I've joined. And the main issue is the delayed payment. Well, it is better to be paid than nothing, right? Even if I haven't yet experienced what you have, maybe there are various reasons on those issues.

Yeah, unfortunately sometimes it happens. For example i took part in telegram campaign of Lendingblock. They have successfully reached hardcap, but later it was said, that there were not too many participants and we decided to cancel telegram campaign. You will get 0 tokens, guys. Thanks and good luck  >:( But at the start of this campaign, there was nothing about minimum number of participants etc.

Just projects do not know how much they will be able to raise funds. Sometimes they just do not have enough money. So I do not think that they are to blame.

This problem exists indeed. My suggestions:

- Try to take part in reputable and trustworthy projects. Research the team and the project before you join.
- Try to join campaigns with reputable managers. Most people around here know the trustworthy managers and you can find information about them easily.
- Always monitor the bounty spreadsheet carefully. Mistakes happen, and some of them even look like voluntary manipulation. If you're careful you can avoid them.
- Be very careful about the terms and rules. Sometimes it's us who is responsible for the failures.

It is enough to mention names of bounties because they did not pay early or that nothing was paid. I feel the best thing is for us to put a general call forward to all bounty projects to always consider in fulfilling their initial words or promise as regards paying bounty participants at the stipulated time. Sometimes it might not be their fault, it might be due to some exigencies, that could be beyond their control.

This is now a common problem. Many projects are fraudulent, or do not collect the right amount. And in the end, all the work done in bounty campaigns is not paid. With this can not be overcome, you need to choose carefully projects.

some bounty projects don't get paid at all, while some of them are really good ones, giving the decent profits. Same as ICO investments, you need to be able to choose the right bounty campaign. It takes time, but is worth it.

I can feel your dissapoinment  to your hard work. Although we are just doing bounty campaign to get token and profit its not an easy task because of long period of time is required you must not absent promoting their project or else your stake will not be counted and doing signature campaing is tough because you need to post quality post and can stress and drain your brain. Project Ico must be honest and have a word of wisdom to the bounty hunters because without bounty hunters their project will not be that effective in comes of advertising.

All bounty rules and regulations should be laid out at the beginning so that people know what they are getting into.

I am not surprised to see that some bounty campaigns do not pay out after the bounty hunters are done with the posting because not all of the coins make it to exchanges and once they stop the market or halt it, then there is no way for you to get your rewards and tokens. All in all about 70% of bounty campaigns actually end up paying out so you have a bigger chance of getting your coins than not getting them at all

Yeah I've also agree to you their are a lots of bounty campaign that keeps promising but in the end way they want will happen... But there a lots of honest bounty campaign also...  But we cat ignore the facts that sometimes its happen....  Instead of making it as a problem treat it as an additional experience to you...  I've honestly think that before but for me it not a very huge problem...  But if you want to surely know if the bounty you've join is good conduct a research and also get some information about it.... If you find ot good take a risk...  But make sure this is a honest bounty campaign....

Sad but true. There are bounty campaigns that ended up scam and the participants suffer because of this. Imagine doing a bounty for months and then in the end, you won't get what you deserve. Yet there are campaigns who still pays even if the project did not succeed but the problem with this is that the coin is hard to be listed on any exchanges or if it get listed the price seems unfair.

We may be smart in choosing the campaign that we will participate with but we can't control what will happen in the end. I think that when it comes to project, investors can be considered as key for the project to succeed.

I've take time to look up every requirements and I make sure I fulfill all conditions. Yet, some bounties have not paid for about 4 months now. One of it is LiveEdu which is very sad.

We need to get bounties from good bounty managers. Can you share the link to get their list on the forum?

This issue has been a raging one and it is so unfortunate that bounty hunters who helped in promoting ICO are sidelined at the end of the day. If an ICO turned out to be unsuccessful, every stakeholders involved will understand the true situation of things but for a project to be successful without paying bounty hunters, it is unfair.

Bonuses are not binding on any individual organization. So it's normal for us to finish the bonus campaign but not pay it right. I often meet. So if you can adapt, you will continue to participate in the Bounty.

One of the false promises about bounty payments are offering big bounty or airdrops to those who join in their campaign but unfortunately because of only few invest in their project, the ICO will fail and the payment to those who participate in bounty will be forgotten, neglect or not be made.

HDAC bounty campaign is one of the bounties which is not honest and lack of information regarding on the token distribution. I have mention them because almost five(5) months have been ended their bounty campaign. I don't know what is their main reason to delay our payment. We asked them how many times about the distribution.

Indeed it is common knowledge, those in power who handle campaigns sometimes do not fully control the payment of tokens..The project owner has many reasons to avoid questions when a participant asks about a payment.

We as a bounty hunter we cannot anticipate what will bounty programs have false promises. But now there are a lot of sweet message promising that their bounty payment will come until your patience is gone.

bounty not paying the attendees is a thing very much happening since the beginning of 2018 until now probably already 70% bounty just cheated all participants for months, it seems the admin should limit the bounty manager so that everyone no longer experience a grief about payment

I don't think all of the ICOs and bounty campaigns are honest on their promises and Yes, I do agree that most of them didn't comply all of their promises at the start and they're trying to adjust when the bounty campaign is about to end just like they reduce their bounty campaign allocation tokens, token distribution delays and so much more.
This Daneel.io is worst because they have 2 waves of bounty campaigns and now they're not willing to pay old bounty participants.

Like Daneel.io, their community managers in their Telegram Channel aren't that honest and they're not willing to give rewards to their bounty participants which are helping them to their success and promote their ICO to attract more investors in this forum.
They are one of the best example for how bounty campaign managers and community admins are handling issues.

do not expect too high on a bounty project payout, sometimes you can get a value of 2-3 times greater than the offer but more often you get less than imagined. find good project is the key good luck

I think you should report these campaigns. Though we are patient it is not right that we get don't get what we ought to have since we worked for it. But if the tokenns are late or there have been lapses in the promised date, try to extend understanding to the team. most teams would want all their participants to get the profit that they deserve that's why sometimes they delay the distribution of tokens.

We have many of them that don't keep to their promises anymore, Envion is a good example for those bounty hunter that joined the campaign, meanwhile I don't think any bounty rewards have been distributed up-till today.
Most of this bounty manager keep promises false.

I seldom believed in bounty that whose rewards are extremely high. Because it often has problems. Their coin, they can arbitrarily price their coin. And nothing is sure its token will be higher than the ICO price. Valuing highly is a way to hide the weakness of the their project. I always think carefully before participating in such projects.

It is better to be late than never right? late payments for bounties should address and disseminate the cause of the distribution issues and delayed payments if they have a valid reasons for the delays then give them a time to solve their said issues as long as the projects and the team are authentic and trustable there's no issue with that if they are going to deliver the payments.

you can't notice it when you first join at that scam campaign, you need to wait until the campaign to be finish.  I didn't experience any scam campaigns but there are camp that are too longer to paid bounty for participants.

There are too many bounty campaigns that scam people but you can choose a good or famous bounty manager for a high chance of bounty paying.

That is why it is important to make research and evaluations of ICOs and bounty campaigns. If for instance it is the bounty campaigns / managers that scam you then   you should check the background of the campaign manager along with checking their portfolio.

Today more than half of Bounty are scam or fails. That's why before perticipating  I deeply research the project. My advice is to pay attention whether the projects has a ready-made product as it is some kind of guarentee that it is not a scam as well as  long termed activity before ICO. It is an indicator that team goes stright to thir goal and will not give up.

Yes you are right mate, there are many bounties exist which didn't pay on time or didn't pay the right amount to bounty hunters.

I had one case, I do not want to name the company, tk. all ended with the payment of tokens. But the essence of what I participated in the bounty, did a video review, the video was credited and should be beaten to pay tokens. When everyone was paid, then I do not

Investing in cryptocurrency is fraught with many risks.
Do you invest your money in ICO or exchange? And what? You can lose. You can forfeit everything.
The same way is the bounty program. These are similar risks. You invest your time. But the result can always be different. You get nothing (the project has not found enough investors), you can get $ 5 (if the rules for distributing coins have changed) and you can get a big win.
Big profits = big risks.  

Studying hard

I started writing in those support, to be honest where I just did not write. And everyone told me that the payment should take place in the coming days.

And it continued all for about 2 months. I already went to one of the project managers, he sent me a sample application, for the payment of tokens (this is the first time I've met). I filled it, and he told me that the payment will be made throughout the day.

And what do you think, again no payments. And generally they stopped responding to messages. in general a complete ignore. I already thought everything was lost.

A few days ago I decided, I will write the last time, to the new administrator. And then I was lucky, the man really helped, I do not know what he did, but the tokens were sent. I ask him, what is the problem, why did not I immediately pass the payment? He said he just crashed.

Therefore, always stand up for your position. Strive, write, and in the end you can get your money. The main thing is not to give up, and everything can be obtained

Based on your experience, you can estimate the approximate percentage of companies that have paid you a reward to your wallet.

Therefore, if there are any problems with the payment of tokens, write to those support and the more often, the better. And it is desirable to do this to different admins. Everyone solves problems with different quality.

During 2017, the vast majority of the bounty campaigns were honest and they paid the participants the right amount on time. But thing have changed now. Many of the bounties are not paying the reward (either completely or partially). And some others increase the duration of the bounty campaign mid-way, without increasing the bounty pool.

Recently, a lot of projects on the bountyhive platform do not pay tokens due to laws in the US, or because they simply could not collect the soft-cap. For the last month I received payments only for 5 projects out of 12

If project idea sounds strange and WP doesn't clarify it - that's not good. If you couldn't find information about project's devs or project's current progress - that's not good. If bounty manager doesn't update spreadsheet weekly - that's not good. That's main rules for me to avoid dubious bounty

many of th bounty make false promise
sometime when they allocated a token to participants they don't send has you see it on spreadsheet or sometime change there plan has schedule
some promise good exchange but after the token distribution the exchange wil be worst
some promise are waste of time
some project manager deceitful

Yes I agree with you. There are many people get mad of the bounty campaign because their effort was nothing after completed the campaign due to not get paid with their great participation, or in short it is a scam bounty campaign. With this we need to be careful in choosing bounty campaign that we are going to join to. First make a deep research of the development team members if they are legit in their physical identities and most importantly the community and bounty managers are having a good reputations and history of successful previous ICO's campaign. Maybe with this basis we can really get rewarded and less of chances to be a victim of false bounty promises of payments.
