Bitcoin Forum

I have been doing bounties for some time and I have encountered some bounty effort that are not paid for.  

1. Hashcard - scam exit
2. Blackfolio - did not reach softcap
3. BCharity - did not reach softcap
4. Safein - project is cancelled
5. Impressio - scam exit
6. Root blockchain - didn't get enough private investors

I learned a lesson here.  I have to be more selective in the future in choosing bounties, as much as choosing an ICO to invest.  

Do you have any similar experience?  Please share so that others may learn.

Really Impressio has already turned into a scam? I keep on doing report on their bounty without knowing anything about the scam issue. Fortunately I bumped in to this post and find out that Impressio ran away and leaving everyone behind empty handed. There should really be a bodies of law that would punish all those trash projects.

It is very sad seeing bounty campaigns you are partaking  turning into scam or failed to raise funds to be able to start it building. I wouldn't blame those ICO's that fail to raise funds they can still make up in some other ways and give back to the community specially to those who help the project know. But it is a waste of time, effort and investments for those projects who have potentials and backed up by great community but opt to run away with million of dollars came from hard earn money of people trusting the projects. Better be careful next and keep moving on..

yeah right you say, scam is very painful if someone easily give up, maybe they will leave this forum, I hate scam

What I regret is the Hashcard campaign, very unfortunate for this project if it does not work, the person managing the project from an experienced campaign manager,

Actually I also doing hashcard , bcharity and impressio bounty programs. So now I prefer to doing softcap reached bounties only. Others are bullshit and scams.

It looks like there are lots of scam projects have been launched. It is really a painful for a bounty hunter if he doesn't get anything for his effort. So we need to be very careful when choosing a bounty campaign in these days.

It's sad to find out that many investors had been scammed with those ICOs. I hope that we will help each other to identify it earlier before they exit and run away with the money.

I don't have so far.

Sorry for all of you that got scam by these bounties, you've got to be meticulous when you are choosing your bounty campaign. Not all of them are generous enough to give realistic rewards, rely on good managers and to teams that you are familiar with or at least.

As a bounty hunter, you often encounter these situations, and slowly you will get used to it. The most comedy thing is that one of our optimistic bounty missions has become a scam, and some humble missions have brought us profits!

yep i got the same experience with bounty that unpaid

bitpaction
revizor coin
qompass.io

and many other that ended with unworthly token because their team decided to stop the project

I saw all the projects you attended and joined the bounty. 2 projects belong to TOKENSUITE team. they said they were researching the projects according to what they said, but it turned out to be problematic as you see it. I have bought or bought tokens unfortunately since the commencement of the stock market is hurt. I'm not thinking of buying any token right now.


Carbaneum
Korona
Octobit

UCHIT - scam exit
LUHN - CEO is MISSING (scam)
GREENISH - SCAM
CLOUT - Not a scam but their coins has no value for bounty v2

Keep on trying and doing bounties, never give up but beware of scam.

Hello!
I feel your pain, and this is my list. I also need to be more selective and not waste my time with scam ICO's.

Impressio - as above
Invacio - this just seemed to turn into a mess at the end
Adsigma - didn't raise enough
Root Blockchain - as above
Koios - didn't raise enough
Ubonium - seems to be an outright scam exit
Incitement - didn't get enough investors

So far i dont found i am join bounty is scam but maybe just along time to be paid
So sadly if scam investor lost money and bounty hunter waste of time

your education in the crypto world is very low - before you criticize skam projects take the trouble to distinguish the scams from the really promising and trusted young players. If you fault of their own are unable to understand who is worth spending time and nakogo no. Simple advice engage in self-study study projects and make your own conclusions objective

I say its almost like a game of luck. There are those projects that are legit and had successful ICOs although are still taking quite a long time before distribution whilst some don't at all. Just choose projects based on your research and on what you feel about the concept in general. Then, just wish that they would deliver in terms of distributing the bounties :P

Yes i also participated several airdrops and bounties before which are unpaid.

Few are true projects with no support in all means. But many are scam projects aiming for short term big money are just a mere data collectors.

So many projects like this, and sadly those projects are being managed by a reputable bounty manager. I don't experience any scammed project yet but I have tokens that until now there's now value. Better for you to choose really good ICO, and have future plans for their project. Bitcoin paying campaign is quiet safe, look for it.

Of all the bounties in which I participated was paid no more than 30%. Im still expecting some distribution. Some tokens won't be paid because of scam or not reached hard cap. Choice a bounty campaign need to be careful. It's unpleasant to spend 2 or more months and get nothing

I also have a negative experience in the bounty who do not pay. Unfortunately, this is an integral part of the work

Currently, a lot of the ICO Program scam, you should be careful when choosing the ICO to join the bounty program. You should check the website, ann, while-paper, dev, its partners, ...

You just a new member in this forum and your list about scam bounty campaigns is really small :)). I've been here much longer than you and I also joined so many scam bounty campaigns but it's still fine for me until now :)). After a scam bounty campaign you always got 1 more new lesson and it's the only thing you can get after long time working ;D

Thank you for the fact that you wrote a list of campaigns, I recently also get a lot of scam. I have not yet learned to distinguish it from real projects.

Yes, Its true we always learn from our mistakes and eventhough we are now so very careful in choosing the legitimate ICOs project but sometimes we still got scammed. So we should keep  on participating until we finds bounty campaigns that pays very well.

Yes there are so many cases today of unpaid bounty rewards to because bounty campaign they participated is a SCAM project and the purpose of creating the roject is to scammed the capital of investors.

To avoid joining in scam bounty campaigns I think all you guys should stay away from bounty campaign which provided by a ponzi scheme project like impressio :)). Beside you should follow bounty campaign which managed by trustworthy manager like deadley, Amazix team, Yahoo, needmoney is also a good manager but seem like he's not good at choosing good bonuty campaign to manage.

1000% sure that you are not the only one having that kind of experience and most of bounty hunters do experienced on getting not being paid on the task that they do for on a project. I'm quite aware with safein and impression where I do see much better compared to those others but its sad that they do go the same way on where most projects do where they do turn out to be a scam or failed up due to lack of interest.

Yes,I have bounty not paid,but still hoping that soon they will come back and announce that coin already in the market hehehe and waiting for token distribution 😂😂😂
But really,in bounty life,like  a rain sometimes rainpouring us and sometimes there are ⛅ sunset..the more you do bounty the more blessings in..we need to put in our mind always what happen the ico if not reach the sorfcap,hardcab,etc...we promote as a bounty Hunter without cost from our pocket so,be patient..out of 10 bounty there are only 1 make a valuable paument,we make to smile..even bounty Hunter always lack of sleep coz of promoting and doing our job etc.:)

That's why,in this field we need have more patience. While we are in the world of cryptocurrencies,we should accept whatever  can happen for any crypto activities that we are doing. Not all bounty campaigns are scam,there are so many campaigns that there's a rewards tokens received by participating individuals,and listed immediately on exchange.

Yes, Scamming is ramphant nowadays and its really hard to choose a good ICOs project that pay the amount being promise during the bounty campaign period.

Projects are meant to get the profit or at least reach the softcap to follow the roadmap's next level but unfortunately some of the project does not reach upto the expected level mate.

Bounty manager and campaigns here not to scam the participants. Even some scam project come to market. They scam the participants and managers as well. Please read the disclaimer before you go to join in bounties or to invest on the ICO. These all you need to do after clearly checked the white paper and team details.

Yes, I understand you, I also face this more often. For example, the projects BitPenta, BWEX and several others, whose fate is still unknown

Many people today are shouting for justice due to ramphant scamming in bounty campaigns and we dont know how to choose a legitimate bounty campaigns that promise a better payment of bounty rewards.

Do not worry too much. At the moment, there is a lot of scam on the market. In any case, you will fall for them. Just need to better analyze the project, so that the amount of scam you had less.

We have to worry only when we work hard for bounty tasks and not get paid or not paid in full.

Usually i don't worry about unpaid airdrops.

I don't know if every new comer here is going to witness one form of bounty scam or the other. I have had my own share of the bounty scam. This was even a btc bounty that was never paid for a month. The expectations wasn't funny  ::)

Don't worry. Scam is a part of bounty hunter life, so it's very painful to understand that you were part of a scam, but anyway you need time, patience and work hard to undesrtand how you can earn money here. Sometimes really good ICO with solid team can't reach money and you're effort will costs 0$ but anyway no one don't have insurance fron scam and no one can be sure for 100% that ICO will reach money. Just be careful when you're pick project. Spend some time to analyze.

my list of bounties, recently project cancel and scam bounty

1. Safein - project cancel from week 2 to week 14
2. Greenbit - Scam Bounty from week 3 to week 12

well, all i can say its parts of being a bounty hunter

Yes,unfortunately I have often encountered scammers.
Now I have become smarter,more carefully select projects,I look at many criteria.
There is already a rather useful experience and intuition.

Its hard to know the real one because scam ICO's are also improving their marketing strategy so they can raise funds in short term. I don't have any bounty token right now but I'm still working with some bounty right now and I hope its worth it. The also problem with this people are not making effort to know the project, don't be too complacent because even if its manage by a good manager  in bonty it can still be turn to a scam.

You can spot a scam by looking at how much efforts they spend on making their whitepaper and roadmap.
Probably how they do marketting their project too.  ::)

Hello guys,

Here's my list of "waste of time projects" ...

-Gasfiles - SCAM
-Crassula Capital - softcap not reached
-Crestonium - SCAM
-Deecoin - SCAM
-BlackFol - softcap not reached
-Qompass.io - sounds like SCAM (they don't answer to bounty manager)
-Bitpenta - SCAM
-RCI - ICO stopped
-Cellblocks - ICO stopped
-MAVRO - SCAM
-FIANCIA - SCAM
-Labstart - softcap not reached

... plus these project (they paid bounties) whose tokens are nearlly valueless

-ATFS - softcap not reached, but bounty paid - very low value
-CIBUS - very low value
-Retainly - very low value

The experience that I often experience is a very long distribution such as welcome coin, persona, etc.
and some coins crushed on the exchange:
- CUZ
- TEAM
- TRM
- KCY
- TIPER

When participating in the bitcoin program if you have finished the campaign but you still have not paid, you will be waiting and will be afraid that the management will not pay you, but be patient waiting for you be stock

I had also experience that kind of things that my bounty effort are not paid nor pay back all of its effort. I also learned to make more wisely and be a good and critically thingker to found an effectively campaign that deals to give a bounty pay as what i want to have. I see also a bounty threads that cam produce and prosper bounty si that it cannot be possible to be scamed or not pay back. I hope so that thier is more bounty threads that had a qualitywork too..

yes i have unpaid bounty which as course a depressed to me in this campaign
1: hasrental run away
2:moneytoken   scam
i think this suppose not to be done. in a good and a motivation campaign we have made our effort to make it real in a world of crytocurrency
this have to be stopped

I put a lot in safein,  but was surprised to receive a mail that day canceling their ico,
Nothing is as painful as believing in a project and see that project exit scam or suspended.

The best thing is to always scout out projects before participating in there campaigns.

I joined bounty campaign 1 year ago and i realized that the safe way to do bounty is follow some famous bounty manager. The usually handled the good bounty and you can get money from it. Amaziz, Tokensuite, Krypital... are highly recommnended.

Wow, I didn't know Safein cancelled, thought they just moved the ICO date. This is sad, and thanks for the warning.

Since bitcoin and all coins down fall each price l experience many times an unpaid bounties because the market is down also so they have bounties have big loses and they can't pay for our payments.

no one can't know what is the bounty is a good or scam.i have  participate in a bounty and gets tokens but about 1 years the tokens aren't listed in exchange

I often encounter such a situation, I now choose the bounty mission will rely on a few points to judge! White paper, official website, bounty manager, sales channel!

Yeah...  Before I've already joined such campaign... I will not tell it anymore because its really disappointing me...  After a lots of effort I did...  I've finished the given task of bounty manager but still i am not given a right amount as a payment for my works...  Though it really pissed me but still... I control my disappointment because it will not make me to be a wise bounty hunter... I just charge it to my experience....

You are too early to bury the bounty BCharity. Personally, I still do it. But, my friend, you should not stop at these bounty do daily to 50 bounty and then just 10 of them will bring you$ 100-1000/ be patient and do the job.

No, this is not always the case because scammers are already wise nowadays where they do make effort or serious on making their whitepaper and roadmap to be realistic since they do know that most investors would probably hooked up with a well written or planned white paper because if they would just not pay attention then investors would most likely have less interest. They do make their hands dirty a little bit for them to scam of.

Sad to hear out but most of projects do make a refund when the campaign is cancelled due to various reasons. Have you get your investment back?

indeed, now there are a lot of scam projects, of the last remembered it repux(was cut bounty pool 14 times) and akaito 25ks for all bounty program(conditions were very murky, it was impossible to estimate how many payments will be made)

All bounty hunters are faced with the fact that some projects in which they are involved are either fraudulent or do not collect soft capa. Therefore, it is necessary to choose more carefully the bounty campaign in which you are going to participate.

Recently, there is a trend of price rollover after the ICO. In this case, it is more profitable to buy tokens after entering the exchange. It is desirable that the project does not have a private sale, as such tokens are quickly sold after entering the exchange. This is justified by the fact that in such sale tokens are bought by groups of investors, various funds and other organizations that are interested only in earning. This greatly affects the price and it then recovers for a long time. It is much better when a lot of people participate in the purchase of tokens and they can be used on the platform. For example, the BNB token showed a good result and is very actively used by buyers.

Agree with you about Krypital. This company has serious ICO's like Merculet, Egretia and they always reach their softcap.
Well Amazix was not bad in the beginning but now they had some not good ICO like Repux and other, so I can't say that Amazix this is 100% garantie.
Tokensuite has a lot of Scam bounty. Their manager needmoney got painted red because they know about scam and still got money from "team" of scam ICO's. Maybe that's why their name is needmoney!

It's so sad that haven participated in impressio bounty signature  and twitter campaign it turned scam eventually, with a gradual poor online presence which lingered for a while.

You came accross too many scam/unsuccessful projects. Choosing right bounty is an art nowadays. I also joined a couple of cancelled projects.

Hashcard BCharity and Impressio.
i did those three as free marketing.another big one is enviion they haven't idea about the bounty.

I've experienced the same thing, ie the speris envion project, envion is a successful project but does not pay bounty.and speris a scam project.and right now I am very careful in choosing the project

i have had such an experience too hunting bounties some exit scammed,others too didnt reach their softcaps and some were stopped too but i learnt to study the project very well before joining especially the team,partnership deals,number of followers on social media platforms and so on.I have become very selective as some of these projects are outright scams,promising outrageous payouts.

Yes I do have similar experience with yours except that its different ICOs or Pre-ICOs. With so many bounties appearing every day, you have a lot to choose from but then maybe more than half of it would not be paying because of the reasons you stated above. I would just advice to choose the projects carefully and even if you are confident that you will be paid, just do not expect too highly because there is a chance that you will be disappointed. There are times that even those reputable managers can handle a bounty that would end up not paying.

Yeah. i was surprised about impressio too. looked like good project but turned out as scam . I realized that it was scam because there was no new tweets for some time, nothing . Even the website does not work.

Should rather be more vigilant on this since maybe there would be more scams would come and better we should set our standards upon joining and we should try to read all the details before joining on any camps out there. Its better if there's an escrow entering but almost all of the bounty camp doesn't have that.

Impresso, an ICO with so good profile but end of at scam exit =)))

I have also have some bounty campaigns that are unpaid but as per rules are saying that they are allocating certain percentage of their total produced tokens as part of their marketing campaigns, not be able to reach softcap and cancelling the project are understandable. But the worst thing I had learned is that some of the biggest ICO are greedy and not paying their bounty hunters which also helped them.

Those projects I belong are

1. Envion - Finished their ICO last January and collecting about 100 MILLION USD are not paying us. Their reason is they haven't done the audit yet because they are busy buying sh*t. Later after that comes the partner CEO running away the money (exit scam). Now they are found nowhere.

2. Beluga Pay - Got 4 Million USD from their ICO and not updating their spreadsheet which Im saddened because the pinned post on their TG channel is spreadsheet is updated weekly. Also saying that they would distribute the rewards a year from now. They think that they are smart e.

3 ( To Be Updated )

I believe that every bounty hunter has encountered such a situation, we can only avoid more such fraudulent rewards through continuous learning! I usually distinguish the bounty task with the following points!
1. White paper
2. Official website
3. Product requirements
4. Bounty Manager

I think when you participate in bonuses, you should find out information of that project. Check what the project is and see what the community of the project is. Because if a project wants a successful project, there should be a community contributing to it. Also you can learn more about WPP's projects, ... Those are the things when I search for a bounty program.

Minerva
(Blockchain Service) - Пpoeкт зaбpoшeн кoмaндoй - тaблицa бaллoв нe мeняeтcя yжe пoлгoдa.
PeruCoin - scores table is not populated, the social network has ceased to be active for a long time - the team dropped the project
Recently, a lot of such ICO that before the start of the collection of funds show themselves to be on the good side and as soon as the bounty program and Fund raising starts - it turns out that the scammers. Be careful with the choice of investment.

Very happy you made this post, especially very happy that you came to a correct conclusion: you and all of us cannot afford to keep doing all these investments and bounties just to grab a quick buck. We must realize that every action we do affects the market. I bet you all those projects that closed thought they could just let 1000 bounty hunters spread the word and they would get private sales done.

But this proves all the bounty hunter armies can't bring real value and money. The sooner we realize this the better.

I think that for the work of Airdrop and Bounty, should take the quantity to offset the quality. Every day you work hard on over 30 Bounty projects, you can get some quality Bounty in it.

I think that to avoid scam by a gift as well as we are even more careful to choose a gift campaign, it all depends on the manager and or team of a gift campaign that we will follow, because not all of his managers and teams have generous souls.

Kora network Money Token scam projects, the first did not pay, and the second many times changed the rules after the bounty, and most importantly many honest bountiests were rejected. And left the count to people of unknown format. Here to you and transparency of projects!

According to some research, many trends are beginning to appear in ICOs launched this year, and of course, there's a lot of reason behind why a lot of them fail. 2018 is already a very different market from 2017. Prices are low, so investors are holding on for better prices. Regulations are tighter and investors are a bit reluctant to complete KYC in some cases, or are outright restricted from participating. And then you have scams - research is suggesting as much as 10% of all ICO money raised is lost to fraud and scams.

Perhaps you can make it easier on yourself and look at projects that have already gone through some form of vetting - AmaZix is one of these options, as all of our clients pass through a very strict vetting paid process, of which we have quite a low approval rate (currently only 20% of those who pay for our assessment process are accepted as partners).

It by no means guarantees success, but it does mean that the projects we partner with have what we believe to be the best chances of success from many different criteria.

For those we manage promotion work, you can find current an ongoing ones at bounties.biz.

Block Broker seems like another scam project nearly

Oh my friend, we have the same projects that we promoted before, and all your listed bounty projects are not paying after we help them promote their project, so maybe this time it is a time to do more self study and be more selective in choosing the right project to promote, because cryptocurrency are in a free society, everybody can make an ICO at different useless project, and then applied for bounty services, and at the end it will not succeed, i don't want to be part of this project anymore, so lets be more selective as much as we can, because its our name to be branded as a part of the promotion, so whenever someone or any investor invested to a project, because of us.,we cannot be blamed because we promoted the right project. I just worried some time if we promote scam project, and they could blame us.

So take the courage to promote only the right business to the right people.

I think the reason why not paying bounty hunters the rewards allocated is due fake or scammed ICOs participated so we should be careful by next time when joining jn a campaign.

Unpaid bounty is due scamming is now common nowadays as many people today are creating fake project to get or to stole money from many investors

Unpaid bounty is really waste our effort :( ive been doing bounty for 10 months and 1 out of 100 30% is paying and the rest are scams. but still we keep going . theres a lot of Good Project this year .. SO cheers

Actually I don't understand why you were surprised? I saw impressio twitter and there are on one video or just photo with CEO or someone! This is definately scam. Here is a good topic "How you can recognize scam" you can find something useful there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2856723.0
By the way don't join any ICO if on their twitter you won't see video with CEO or some photos from conferences or something.

many people take advantage by raising funds from investors by running a project that can deceive the many people involved. not only investors who feel harmed, but participants who participate in the project in vain to promote it because they do not get the rewards that have been promised.
recently there are some prize managers who are victims of scammers. would be better before engaging in a project to be lived, the manager should know more details about the project to be undertaken before receiving the participation of the participants to help promote it, so that no one feels harmed.

Number of scam bounty campaign is increasing very quickly like number of ICO project in this year :). I think it's a little bit difficult to find out scam bounty campaign and maybe the only way to find out scam bounty is checking project behind and quality of bounty manager :). But sometime it's impossible to check out until the end of bounty campaign and you don't receive anything :)

it seems there are some ico who do not give payment to the participants from bounty campaign, and usually all have to be softcap to be able to give payment to bounty campaign. better be careful with ico like that, save and record the existing team and memorize the scam ico.

like some of you said, it is better to start joining the bounty when the softcap is reached.  this is so true, because we have to protect ourselves from wasting our time.  however, from my experience, Amazix and G0blin are the bounty managers that have been doing very well.  So far, all of their projects that have i participated have surpassed softcap and also reached hardcap.  Shivom, XYO, Effect.ai etc.

   

your 30% rate is very very low actually.  mine is not that bad.  my rate is about 80%, but of course, I participated in like 25 different icos at one time.  the saddest thing is when the project is legit and they did not reach softcap.... 

unpaid bounty effort is very common nowadays this is because caused of some scamming incident that happened in different ICOs project.

As many members have said to minimize risk you wasting your time and effort, evaluating the ICO project and bounty is a must. As we know not all of the bounties will reach the soft cap allocated to start the project and sometime it will be cancelled due to unknown reason and that is why checking their community is also important. Every bounty hunter should know about this as it will make or break their rewards.

Most projects are scams, honestly your much better off working a normal job in real life instead of wasting your time here.

Thank you for your comment. AmaZix does try very hard to bring quality and value to the blockchain scene. Value is underrated in our opinion, and it is something we think about a lot in our undertakings. Not just value to you as the community, but value to our partners as project implementers, and value to the industry as a whole. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are still very, very much in the early stages, and to bring them truly into the mainstream, real world use case must be developed.

Yes, we do have to be more selective in choosing a bounty program. because they do not want to work hard without getting paid.
try reading the material on this thread. I hope this helps :

Open: reduces the bounty pools to a very small amount which results in the unsatisfied bounty participants who have contributed for 8 months but received less than what they deserved

Not paying bounty rewards is very much common nowadays and this is also due to many icos launches which is like a competition in the crypto market and a lot of coins introduce that make people many choices.

read carefully the conditions of the bounty company very often you do not charge your reward for careless fulfillment of the conditions and you will be happy. to choose the right company bounty carefully study the project on scam

You must not only study the information about the Project, but also the terms of the Bounty of the company point. Besides, you must compare all the figures relative to the reward for each participant. If you give an example of a bounty company DACC, then the Bounty members of the company receive an insignificant amount of compensation for their work.

I started to do Impressio, but then decided to stop doing it because of feeling that it is scam. I also have some bounties that didnt pay, but one of them i disappointed most of all is bitpaction exchange.

So hashcard was a scam ? i'm not very surprised but kinda that for you mate  :'(

I also took part in a variety of bounties that were either not successful or scam. What can you do, this is life. Now I try to take projects that are on https://icodrops.com/

30 % of all bountis I participated was scam. But the most offensive thing is when manager doesn't count your stakes and there is no payment for the work at all.

I think it's a bit difficult to figure out a scam reward campaign and perhaps the only way to know the gift of deception is to examine the project behind and the quality of the manager of the gift of Smiley. But it is sometimes impossible to check until the end of a bounty campaign and you do not receive anything from the gift. You need to be more careful and selective in choosing projects

I have about the same statistics. The most offensive is that, in the face of a very successful project with a reliable manager, you can be a fraud and you can remain without remuneration.

I also met some bounties that didn't paiy me

1. Cryptfunder, the dev stopped the project without any reason
2. Cryptharbor, no update from the team
3. Impressio, i exit because i think this project will fail

That's the reason why we have to be selective on bounty, all of our hardwork will be paid for nothing if we don't selective, many says it's just retweet and likes, but hey, it's a lot to do, and requires so many efforts

I also experience the same thing several times but want to know how this is a real risk for us bounty hunter maybe the problem we have to prepare is our mental to be able to stay brave when encounter ICO project Scam because surely have let us have wiser just wisdom from this experience Hopefully we can be more selective again in choosing bounty so that there is no time wasted again.

Many bounties are not paid after at the ends is bounty campaign many of them are successful project while some are not successful. After the end of the campaign most of the successful will refuse to redeem their pledged. Bounty to be paid a week after may even turn to a year. I'm just tired of doing bounty

Yes, now many ICO projects are fraudulent or they suspend their activities for a long time without paying the promised tokens, which is almost equivalent to fraud. So, I see problems with the following ICO campaigns:

VVTokens. The campaign ended on January 5, since then, no information about the payment of promised tokens.

RPay. The ICO campaign ended on December 25, the ICO team fled.

HADA BANK. The ICO team deliberately for months did not provide any information about its ICO, prolonging its ICO indefinitely, while the signatories of the ICO signature campaign themselves did not begin to withdraw their signatures.

Bitroud. They turned out to be scammers, they escaped.

PYCOIN. The ICO campaign ended on March 31, tokens have not yet been paid.

Lancechain. The campaign ended on April 8th. Tokens have not yet been paid.

I think the forum participants should be aware of the campaigns that are trying to deceive us.

I participated three of your post campaign and it is true they are scam and they dont pay the said reward. I was camapaign those days when they post in their telegram that there was a problem with there team and i know it that i will lead into scam. Sad to say it was. I found out now a days that most of the bounties are hard to participate with the legit one. It was a big waste of time for bounties like that.  I learn a lesson for that be affirmative with all the projects and allo ation they said. Goodluck.

Very sad! I myself already experience this kind of unpaid effort but life must go on. We can't be assured that the project we are promoting will be successful. Projects are just depending on the result if ico if not enough funds generated then we got nothing.

This has been the case for me to participated in a lot bounties, i can't  even recall all of them and never got rewarded, one of which i can recall is productivist, working this bounty i did it for about 3/4 of the total bounty period and out of the blue it was cancelled

Same experience with Impressio and sprintX ad they are under the same bounty manager, morgan coin, perucoin etc. There are reallu lots of scam ICO's running and seems there are lots still to be coming. Most ICO's can't be trusted since we don't have any idea which one will be doing successfully and ehich one is not.

I follow the same Hashcard ImpressioLTD, thanks for the information about bounty scam because I am so disappointed, why so? and I want to ask you why Needmoney is now mostly bountynya scam but he is one of the best managers for bounty program?

It seems that the number of participating in the bounty activities is very large, and it is very likely that we will encounter what you said.
You are right, when choosing a bounty, it is best to first screen to reduce the situation of fraud.
It’s not easy to do bounty activities. The most feared is the project of fraud or cancellation, but I will still participate in the bounty activities, because the future of some projects is really worth our expectation.
At present, I have not encountered the bonus fee that are not paid for , and I hope that it will not be in the future.

Yes in 2018 a lot of coins are scam and it becomes a negative point in the world of cryptocurrency, Of course we do not want the project we have followed ended with a scam,

I also experience that, the pain is thought to be hard, tired and time is just that! Well, I did not invest immediately. My advice to you is to check you first before joining or investing. Thank you.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers who want to steal money through the ICO, so there are such companies. It is necessary to do simultaneously at least 30 companies

I thought Kora Network won`t pay their bounty hunters.
But it seems they did. After community force them.
I don`t know if we were paid completely but still  I am satisfied because it is better to get at least something.

I have been leaving the campaign for a long time, approximately 1 month ago because of a scam issue. shortly after the issue of Hashcard

The manager is very sad if they have not sent you the stoken as they are breaking up to be able to finish the plan as well as you can have the patience for them to do good job

I would add the Kora Network project to this list. Payments were reduced for different companies from 30 to 50 times. The project has reached hardcap. I think that this is a very bad attitude towards people who helped in the fundraising.

me also, there're no rules to make sure that the bounty host will pay the token to participants after ICO end :/

It really hurts when you involve yourself in an ICO that does not pay. I did a video for a coin called Kurecoin, the project of the team was very promising. At the end of the ICO I have been rewarded nothing on bountyHive. The reason was my views were low. I advise anyone here, if you are participating in a video campaign, make sure you share your video to reach more audience.

sure that is perfectly true.. most that why this project have to undergo some processes before the will advertise any of them to introduced them in this forum because the stress are much in a sense that work and at last you won't get paid or will be announce as scam project, it really week and heart broken of all your effort are fartless.

Most of the ICO team hesitating to list their token on the exchange since the marketplace condition is low. So you need to wait until the marketplace recover from the investment and you can take the work effort to the other btc or eth payable campaign works mate.
Please verify the good bounty which can reach its hard cap that will be good to work with your hard efforts mate. Kindly ensure the legitimacy of the project and work with it.

It's time to understand and identify for yourself the general principles of participation in the bounty. Do not participate in bounty campaigns of managers who do not filter projects, but take everything in a row. Do not participate in bounty campaigns of projects that have 100 followers in social networks.

Ive already experience 5 bounty campaigns that went to scam,same scenario when the campaign is already near to end it will go to scam, and no update coming from the team.

Yep I have met some scam bounties in the past, and it wasted so much my time and effect. I have been very stressful. Now I choose campaign carefully, not do everything I see in thread "bounties".

Number of scam bounty campaign is increasing the same like number of scam ICO project. I think it's really hard to avoid joining scam bounty campaign. At first if they wanna attract bounty hunter, they'll get a legit bounty manager manage their bounty campaign so a lot of bounty hunters will believe that it's a good bounty campaign to join because it's being managed by a legit bounty manager. I think to avoid joining we should check carefully project behind bounty campaign which we're going to join :)

Sad to hear that. I've also  experienced that  and I believe that  you can find good  and promising campaign  and  will pay your  effort. There's  a lot of scam  bounties out there just be careful  in choosing project. Sometimes we cannot really  avoid  scam  project  because they run very well during the campaign.

I had a first hand experienced when i participated in the Bitpaction Bounty, the program was suppose to last for close to 7 weeks but the team decided to stop the campaign without prior notice. As if that was all, all stakes and reward at the end of the campaign was later slashed and reduced and their reasons was that nothing was original in it. It didn't stop there, till date no news about Bitpaction and their team, bounty hunters still have not been rewarded and the good news is the Bitpaction exchange is currenctly struggling. Even as i decided to participate in some bounties that might have attained their softcap, some still find it difficult to pay rewards.

f*cking scamers, I also often participate in projects that do not pay, it's sad. I try to study the ico very carefully and learn the opinion from my friends.

In the market of cryptocurrencies you need to defend yourself and no one is going to do it for you, while you are correct when you say that they are scammers that should be punished you need to do your part as well, and if you do not, then you are going to be scammed in the future once again.

For me, I'd rather spend a lot of time researching the gift of follow-up. It's more efficient and time-saving than joining all the ICOs but ending with a scam,

You are not the only one who experienced this unfortunate jobs joining bounty is a little bit risky and no assurance so its better to join bounty with a successful presale and managed by the high ranks managers for a good chance of success in the campaigns.     

In the last 4 months I have participated in 20 bounty and 10 of them ended up with a scam but I am grateful because there are 4 bounty that I have joined that generate big profits,

Yes, i do agree on your statement. It so hard that the hard work, effort and time was't paid off. It just learn form any experiences. Know more about ICO's projects don't worry because there are lot of them could be trusted.

That's why it's better to try than nothing since there are camps who can give us a one time jackpot.



Actually you're right but we can't avoid that and maybe we should be more selective upon joining so that our effort and hardwork will paid off, But lets presume that we will not get paid always so that the feeling will not be more worst if bounty will not pay us.

I have heard a friend who have  experienced the same not one friend but many. I feel sorry for them because I know how hard it is to do bounty campaigns and then end up scam and will not pay. I don’t know why fake ICOs are spreading like viruses and sad that it is very hard to identify which is which. We must all be careful in choosing a good ICO to avoid being a victim.

There will always be failed project and scam ICOs. As an investor or bounty hunter, the responsibility lies on you to effectively scrutinize what you want to invest your time, money and effort on.

How can you be safe? From this no one is protected.Nobody gives you guarantees when you join the bounty.Now there is a lot of ICO compared to the last year-hence, and scammers more and payments are less.You need to get used to this.Because of this, by the way, many do not want to participate in the bounty-no one wants to waste time.

I shall admit that more and more ICOs nowadays are cancelling their projects, or doesn't reach their softcap. But yeah we cannot blame them for not paying if they haven't got money for development. But scam projects really make me angry

I think that every bounty hunter will face this problem because no one knows if the softcap will be reached, if the team is really always updated, the project is good. Unless we read their whitepaper so we can have a lot of information that can help us to see if the token has really a potential. Always remember that you should do your own research regarding to this bounties. Thank you

There is no way that all of them make a success and some of them are scams.
It is a challenge to select the good ones nowadays.

These are ICOs that isn't known, its not promoted well which is why its not getting funds. Its you who joined the bounty program actually has the responsibility to make it known and expose to the public where investors are among it. If these team aren't scam and has genuine plan to develop a product then I guess its the fault of the campaign participants :)

I also joined some scam bounties like you but I also have another problem about bounty campaign :)). Although they paid bounty hunters but it's months until now but their token is still not listed on any exchange and dev team is also don't have any idea or think about listing their token on any exchange. LOL.

I experienced to join bounty with so much waiting time. It takes months before they completely distribute the rewards. Some unpaid bounty efforts are scams. Scammers are clever enough to find ways in order to lure and trick other. This cause useless effort due to some bounties don't paid hunters who make so much effort in order to earn. There are lot of reasons why some of the bounties can't pay the hunters because of not reaching softcap, cancelation of projects and don't gain investors, making them no choice to fund the hunters effort.

Yes there are a lots of project that doesn't truly gave the rewards to their participants...  Though we made our great effort an exert a lots of time but still we are not giving a right payment for our works...  We cant change this fact especially if you are only a begginer in crypto world...  Well we should take this experience in positive way...  Because even we regret so muh it doesn't change the fact that we loss our effort...

I didn't do these projects. But I know a huge pile of other projects that did not collect the soft cap, or are a Scam. Or just have been paying for half a year.

Yes i do have the same experience. Sometimes we cannot choose what is the best ICO or the successful ICO for us. Sometimes we think that the ICO we participated is good but after the end of ICO is just a disappointment since we did not received our payment of all our efforts. But we cannot do about this and just take the experience as a lesson.

I think from last 4 to 5 months most of the bounty campaigns not paid to participants because of these reasons. Some campaign paid like Livetree, Shitcash etc.. but these tokens are not listed in any exchanges. so if they paid also no use. confusing how to pick the right projects i think compare to the bounty campaigns signature campaign is better if they pay less amount also no problem at least we get something at the end of the day.

I also originally wanted to participate in the HashCard Bounty, but stayed only one week as a member, so I studied the information about this company more thoroughly and decided to retire. Therefore, the guys, before choosing any project, Study the real attractiveness of the project for investors and the relevance of the idea in society.

So far I don't have negative experience. One project is on the edge because they reached soft cap and tokens are distributed but not listed on any exchange. I hope project will survive and I will earn some money :)

Sorry for your loss, I hope I Dont fall victims too because one can never be too careful. Scammers are getting too smart this days.

It would really just like be the same on the sense that you havent benefited on the tokens you had earn or just simply you just recieved a useless token even you are paid up but still ending up on having no value at all.
Unpaid bounty do really sucks because we arent paid on the work that we done for but and as i have mentioned earlier that wont not matter most but only on value of  the coin you are holding on.

Unfortunately this is a very sad situation for us. Because we have been working for these ico's for a really long time. And there is nothing left to take away. This is really annoying. For this reason, good research is needed.

it is understandable if they did not reach soft cap,that why they needed the bounty in the first place,but exit scam is very painful for me.Impressio scam exit? i never saw that coming.

         You know not only you has an experiece like that. We can't avoid those project even we conduct research and found out tgat the project is quite good and promising so we joined to support and promote it for how many months but at the you will not get paid for all your hard work .

very disappointing, i followed the bounty impressio and hashrental but they are a scam, there are still lots of ICO's that fail so be careful

Thank you for the information well that I did not participate in the HashCard. It's a pity that similar projects exist

Is this really reliable information? really ImpressioLTD it a scam? if I'm really surprised, when Needmoney's classmate can scam the project I'm really disappointed with this

yes it is.  the website is now empty, the telegram chat has been taken over by i don't know what.  a lot of investors got pissed off and this is actually giving a bad image of blockchain industry to the public.  it is sad that people are using ICO as a way to scam.

If impressio really a scam project so what will happen with you? Did you invest your money? Did you participated on their bounty? Did you lose any from them? NONE!. So stop acts like a victim and read before you ask something.

Who is needmoney's classmate?

People need to recognize what they are getting into, this is not different than startups, you can work there and receive some stocks of the company and if it is successful you could become a millionaire but if it fails you lose all your time and effort and the same happens here with icos.
