Is it safe to join Bounty Campaigns managed by the ICO team themselves? Even though they are only Newbie/Jr. Member. (But Copper Member)

I guess it is. Till now I didn't have a bad experience and I think both bounty managers and ICO team can lead their bounties. Maybe it is still a little bit safer with bounty managers, but if the team and manager get in the conflict, then it is the same as with team managing the campaign and not paying.

I think it's ok. I took part in some bounty campaigns managed by the ICO team, everything was all right. Of course it easier for us when bounty managed by Bitcointalk manager. in that case according to his reputation we understand is it worth to join or not. In the case managing by ICO team we should learn project more carefully. If project good, bounty should be good too.

I think if we join the bounty managed by ico team itself is too risky because they only have a newbie account and still have little trust, I better join the famous bounty manager because they will be responsible if something goes wrong

I think so, for me it's ok. As we may directly connected to the team projects. And we can ask anything about the project to the manager, any news any updates. Especially in telegram groups, it may come in handy for us if the managers are the ICO team themselves.

I made the best experience with bounty campaings who are managed by the team of the projects himself. These people takign their work more seriouse, and they als make less mistakes or forget some stakes or stuff like that. So i prefer boutnys who are not managed by eternal bounty managers!

If project good, bounty should be good too. Everything depends on the project itself and its team! There are many successful examples

Why not? I think that this is even better, because you limit the risks of being deceived by not an honest bounty manager. In any case, I do not see anything wrong here, just the team decided not to spend extra money.

It is safe if you authenticate that the bounty manager is from the team. The best thing what you can do is to ask it in the Telegram group, our look at the pinned message in the group. If you see the link of the bounty thread there then you can start with joining the bounty campaign of that project.

It is safe if you trust the team and you did due diligence, but then again you should do that even if someone else is leading their bounty campaign. Treat bounty campaign like you are checking whether to invest in ICO, and you  should be fine.

But then again, to successfully run bounty campaign you need to have some experience in order to do it smoothly,it's harder than it looks.

This is incorrect. Being employed by a team to run a bounty for them does not make the bounty manager responsible for anything that goes wrong with the ICO. They are simply running the marketing - they have nothing to do with the ICO itself.

The presence of a good manager also does not give me a guarantee and assurance that the project will be successful and I will receive payment for my actions.

I don't the there are different between bounty manger managed and Ico team managed. It is based on the product it self and the behaivor of the iCO team.

So choice a good team means choose a good bounty.

It is not the matter to join bounty managed by ICO team themselves or managed by other professional team but most important thing is to join bounties which will pay us in time. You can go for trusted bounty managers in this forum and also you check dip about that project and then join bounty. Its easy to join bounties managed by trusted and professional team because they already checked about that project.

it really depends on them and the circumstances. but generally when a project is running like this and specially when they are receiving free money through their ICO and still don't want to spend a tiny amount of that free money to get a proper manager then it should tell you something about their faith in their own project...

I think as long as ico it has good value and no scam, then it does not matter if bounty manager handled by ico team. I think if handled by the team ico, then we can know how their process works and focused on 1 ico project, unlike other bounty managers who have some bounty projects but their performance is slow. But every bounty manager has a negative and positive way to handle bounty projects, and that depends on how they work because every bounty manager has different ways of working to make that ico successful.

I don't have any experience regarding that situation - wherein the team itself run their own bounty campaign. Since my experiences are with the famous and respectable campaign managers such as MadZ and Yahoo. I think that it is safe when the team itself run their own bounty campaigns. But, it is a lot safer with the professional campaign managers since it is really their job and know what to do.

At some point yes. Sometimes its safe because they are the one who are managing their finances. The bounty pool are somewhat secure. But there are also times that its quite risky because you really dont know if they are really from the ICO itself. Also most of the time, they dont have enough experience in managing a bounty campaign.

managed by the ico team should be enough , as long you trust the project
and if you dont trust the project I see no reason to go for the bounty as probably will have another bounty of more of your interest to tke your time/signature / wahteever

I think it's okay when the project team itself runs a bounty campaign. Yes, the manager in this case does not have much experience, but if the project is good and promising, the result will be good too.

It does not matter to me as long as they are serious about doing it and not making a fatal mistake. And do not make mistakes in counting the number of stake.  ;D

I do not think it makes much difference, on the other hand you can not tell who can scam you, i will only suggest that if you see something wrong or do not trust the team then do not join such campaigns.

I had a bad experience with bounty campaign run by ICO team themselves. That is why i would prefer bounty campaign run by bounty managers who are members of this forum because they are already experienced in handling problems should one occurs.

Yes. But you need to check the project itself and the project team.

If you trust the project itself, then the tokens you get for completing the bounty tasks will give you a good profit

Be safe to join any company bounty. The maximum that you can lose is your own time. Sometimes a bounty company with a bounty manager from the project team is even preferable. If the team of the project wants to deceive and do not pay bounty hunters, then the bounty manager will not play any role here.

This is safe, what do you doubt in following the campaign's blessing on ICO?
While you are not investing then it will be safe friends.
look for paid and non-scam gifts campaigns.

I'm farther away from such a campaign because they do not fully understand bounty ;D

Most of the time I choose to stay away from these bounty threads because they don't know the rules very well.
So when token is distribution， we're going to have a lot of problems. :o

It can be feasible but one of the most ideal way to join bounty is to join only bounties at which you already knew that the manager is paying in time and correctly.

Its okay if one of the member of the ICO is from this Forum with enough knowledge about bounties
Its okay also if the ICO is promising with legit info about the project they're promoting.

I do not see anything wrong. Anyway, the success of a bounty campaign depends on the success of the project. Even if the bounty campaign manager belongs to the project team, it has the task of helping users and updating the table on time.

As for me I don't really care who manages the bounty campaigns as long as it is a good and legit bounty campaign, I will participate, I believe the team will not like to shit the bounty hunters because trust hunters they will go to their telegram and starts disturbing  ;D

it depends on the project, if they have a person that trained to do that, it's good so they could have a good communication inside.
I've ever joined the bounty who managed by the ICO team itself, and the distribution of the reward is on time, they were good.

Altcoin paying campaigns run by the ICO team's representative usually pay out as they do not want a black spot for their project (given that the project is legit). Bitcoin or Ethereum paying campaigns should definitely escrow funds with a trusted member before launching the campaign.

i personally considering that's risky especially if no escrow involved even though those project not necessarily to being an scam projects but we will be more comfortable if enrolling bounty campaign with trustable manager and this is will ensure we got pay at the end of campaign

Yes it is safe to join bounty campaign that managed by ICO teams. There are many bounty campiagns that leads by ICO's where you can join and you don't have to be worry. The success of the campaign depends on how successful the project is. You don't need to be panic. It's safe.

it's a good question, since I never thought about the difference between what the team and the outside organization manage. What are their main differences for the participants?

I consider those were the most risky bounty to participate because maybe most of the managers will refuse them because they think that it will be a scam so it will affect their reputation too so they will manage the bounty by themselves but we can't say all are acams but it was most riaky then managed by the best bounty managers.

It ought to be, but there are occasions where such ICO don't end well. The ICO may be successful but the coin will not be listed.

not all, I have followed stuffgogo and savedroid held by their team for bounty manager position, they are very active and tokens are already in distribution, but unfortunately their project is slow

Some ICO team have the members from the forum and they use that account to manage the campaigns here. If really positive thought campaign mostly people will be looking in the hands of good campaign manager and high rank candidates on this forum bro.

Best to go check the managers like Yahoo62278, lauda, Hilarious, Woshib, Wapintar, Hexah and Ahmadjamal. These people's campaigns are seems very much trustable one in this forum but few people only concentrating in bounty campaigns too.

i do think it is safe as there are also many managers who were not a part of this forum but due to their project they had joined it so if their project is good you should definitely join in

I think it is safe but also,  there's a higher chance for scam to happen than in bounties where managers are from this forum. I am not saying that all bounties that are managed by the dev team, will be already a scam.  The risk is also present even if the manager is from the forum because at the end of the campaign, it is still the ICO team which will pay the participants and the manager .

You can participate in such a campaign and not be afraid. I take part in many of these campaigns and managers are all appropriate, quickly provide information on questions and solve problems. Specialists of the forum sometimes lead several campaigns simultaneously, and for this reason they not always are quick in responding to messages.

It doesn't matter what rank a person occupies when he opens a Bounty Campaign. The main thing is that the project, which he offers, was serious, and the project team professional.

Yes, I think there is no difference that the bounty Manager leads , that the person from the project pays the project and not the other person .

If the ICO team manages the bounty program, it is better. There is less chance of miscalculation of stakes. Payment is aslo earlier in this system.

Bounty Campaigns which are manged by the ICO team itself is quite risky as they are new on this forum and lacks skill to have a good campaign. ICO team should always contact a reputed manger which delivers the results upon time and trusted by the forum as it add credibility to the campaign and more people join. If a campaign is manged by Newbie people tend to resit from joining as it may lead to scam and manger can leave easily as they don't have any other work on this forum.

which you need to consider when joining a bounty campaign is transparency of the team, if you find it, enjoy it with their project. be consistent in running every mission, especially social media campaign, then you will feel the results.

Honestly, it is better than joining bounties that are maintained by the so called bounty managers or bounty services, as most of these people are hard to reach and do not respond to queries easily. On the other hand, ICO people have to take care of their reputation and hence they are more fair when dealing with boutny hunters.  

There is no reason to think otherwise because the most experienced managers make mistakes and have supported bad projects in the past.
Also fairly often also projects under good managers fail or stop because of reasons which are out of their control.

Yes, in my opinion it is. Not always, but yes. I participated in one campaign one week ago, and the manager was also Newbie. I noticed this and was sceptic about this project. But then, when they calculated stakes and tokens, I found that Jr.Member received for the signature campaign like 7000$ (!!!) It is too much. So, don't carry about position of manager.

 that's a good question, but actually I have finished recently one of this kind of campaign, so soon I would know definitely

The success of the ICO projects are not relying on any people who run the campaign but the whole package of the project itself, though having a good campaign manager is an advantage it is not a 100% percent safety because they are only part of the promotion not in development.

I would say those are the most likely to scam you because they don't have a reputation to maintain on this forum. The legendary managers have the most to lose and that is why I prefer to use those managers for bounty campaigns.

yes...why not?
i repeat what i've said in an other thread: if the ico goes well, they will pay what they have promised..otherwise, there can be problem.

for me, it doesn't matter. But if you can then better choose which are handled by the manager who has experienced san which already has a big name in this forum. It's just a matter of funds only if they are willing to pay a great manager or not.

 as for me the Cooper member rank is the sign, that they are serious, otherwise I think they would be worried about the rank

I think yes, If you join bounty campaign make sure that you having a good manager because from now scammers are increasing.

I joined one bounty where it was handled by one of the members of the ICO team and it was a disaster. I left halfway through because nearly everyone was arguing. After that I only joined bounty campaigns handled by trusted campaign managers.

yes, i like to take part in such campaigns very much. even better than from often overloaded companies that offer this work. so the responsible people often know better and that is better for all involved  ;)

Most times, bounty campaigns managed by the team end up well. I have participated in such bounties and i have never regretted doing that. Although, some may not know how to organize the work effectively, most especially the spreadsheet, but their results at the end of the campaign are always amazing and they most times end up paying their bounty participants.

We all know that ICO is much more speculative then other altcoins it's pretty clear that we have most scam project but to be sure you can check their GitHub if they can work hard for it and if the bounty manager keeps updating their project then that's the sign that you can join their campaign.

There are ICOs that are real with their marketing and are crediting the stakes that must go to their participants but don't be too confident if they are copper members.

We knew that Copper membership can be available to any rank and the only feature that they can have as newbies/jr members is that they can post images.

---

I would tell that join at your own risk if there's no escrow.

, well i guess it is still safe to say as of now., but i cannot also assure that it will be safe, becsuse there are also some that are just only fraud and we  do not know if it is one, not unless it is proved in the end. there are also lots of ICOs that were manage by their own had become successful and has no flaws, and i personally think that only depends on the team if they would actually run the money or not.

We can never say who is gonna scam you and when. It all happens when you are out of luck. I have faced this once or twice and I know what it feels like to do all the work and then get scammed. To be honest, we will still try it if we don't have any better opportunities and if our luck is good we might earn some good money out of it. Its better to avoid such ICOs where the team members, bitcointalk accounts etc.. are new and completely avoid them if they don't have any escrow.

It depends, just because you are a newbie in this forum it doesnt mean that you cannot be trusted but having a well known member here that is expert on managing campaigns can give the campaign more trustable. If the tokens that will be distributed is escrowed it is another point. But it will still all depends on the team of that project. If they decided to stop the campaign or the project itself then what is the purpose of having those tokens if they dont have any value. Its like wasting your time doing nothing. This is why its hard to work with those bounties.

At least no harm to give it a try. Bounty rewards should be paid as long as the ICO goes successful, no matter who runs the bounty campaign. However, you should be careful about how much effort you are giving into it.

Of course, it's better to join the ICO signature campaign, which is managed by a familiar manager from BitcoinTalk. In this case, he already knows all the features of the signature campaign and, therefore, usually with them fewer problems and controversial issues. If the generosity campaigns are managed by a member of the ICO team, most often he does not know this work and when joining the campaign and further in the process of work there are a lot of inconsistencies. I participated in campaigns with such managers, sometimes ICO ended well, sometimes not. I give preference to the prospects of the ICO project, and then I look at the manager.

I think it's safe to be safe, because I think ico members are more convincing than outside of ico, just personal experience
because now many bounty managers are cheating

I think that there is nothing dangerous in this, perhaps some doubt it, because such managers may have little experience, but because the project saves its marketing costs, maybe even in the project team there are excellent specialists.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the bounty is managed by one of the project managers, if he has an adequate understanding of what he should do as a bounty manager, then everything is fine.

I think that it's pretty OK since good manager always gets merit in the end of the campaign, that's the way of developing a new acc, I guess. If the project is decent, don't worry.

I think this is the best option for Bounty campaigns. It is evident that the team of professionals who wants to get a lot of things.

So far I have had a not too good experience with the bounties I have done outside bitcointalk and managed by the ico team themselves. I still prefer bounties supervised under a 3rd party bounty manager

I'm not sure about it but if bounty campaign has a good ICO project behind so whom is manager is not important. We just need to care about project behind bounty so if it's a good project so its bounty is also good as well. But sometime it's not the same like what I said for example, Envion is a good ICO project but it has a scam bounty campaign and until now, there are no participant received token for their works on Envion bounty campaign

Yes, it is safe if the project looks promising and legitimate, otherwise don't waste your time and effort, because there are a lot of ICO scams. The key is the project itself, not the bounty manager in my opinion, because most managers don't escrow the tokens, they just get paid to manage the campaigns, and the ICO team take care of the distribution after the ICO's end.

I think it's safe. In the beginning, I also crawled and thought that maybe it was a scam, etc.
But later I saw that often these experienced bounty managers create an account for the company. I cant say why, but it's true.

I think yes but i rather go to a bounty that manage by other bounty manager. Because team ico managing bounty they only create a newbie if they will scam you

if you concluded that the project is reliable, and the ICO is not a Scam, it is not very important who will lead the company of bounty.

That's a gamble if the bounty is ran by a newbie although he purchased Copper Member that's only because they wanted to include images to their post/ANN thread.

It's important who is leading the bounty for such projects. If the manager is reliable and trusted by the community, there's an assurance that it's not a scam project but if it's only someone else you don't get assurance and it turn out to be a scam soon.
