As a bounty hunter it is never advisable to participate in bounties managed by same project team... so many scam projects seems to be coming up lately using bounty hunters to promote their garbage.. field with lies and deceit...

After a long  wait , a project which claimed to have raised a whooping sum of 14.8million dollar could not fulfil their promise of allocating 3% of tokens sold to hunters for their work done 8 MONTHS AGO instead they decided to allocate just 0.03% of a supposedly 8.7milion kep token which was allocated for bounty...

GREED KILLS

now my question here is.. do you really believe 14.8million was raise during the token sales even... why is the fear of bounty hunters present that they can't afford to distribute what was initially promised??

A common case for many bounties nowadays. I advise opening a scam accusation against the team if they are active in this forum. Otherwise, there are no much things left to do,unfortunately.

Hunting free tokens sometimes doesn't pay off.
But this is the risk you signed up for when you took their signature or advertised them on twitter or facebook.
They can hire best bounty manager but at the end of the day team will decide whether they will send you tokens.

It is a very terrible situation the one that does not bode well for such projects
Everyone is employing that terrible tactics and even deex is doing that

If only bitcointalk bounty managers can engage in pre funded campaigns just like bountyhive and bounty0x has pracised lately

There isn’t much solution

This deserves a spot in the scam section, you should open another one in the scam section it will harm their project and hopefully, their price in the market, if they can scam bounty hunters and they have an intention to scam people then they can and will scam investors.

The raised fund was a total lie that's why they never paid to bounty hunters and moreover the fact is BOUNTY MANAGER matters a lot because they are the ones to tackle any projects that wants to cheat hunters so my advice is always follow good bounty managers only

There is already thread in scam accusation section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114598.0

They assigned to bounty program around 5% of planned allocation, because as they announced that in bounty take part a lot of scammers and during bounty campaign they collected only 10% of the total funds. CEO said that he will review bounty program situation, and he did.. They multiply rewards 3x, so now is around 15% of promised rewards.

Numbers:
Total supply 1 000 000 000
Bounty allocation 2% = 20 000 000 (+1% for Airdrop - 10 000 000)
First allocation 1 000 000 = 5% from promised allocation
Allocation after correction = 3 000 000 = 15% from promised allocation

I think you should report this one in Scam Accusations section. But at first you need solid proof to prove that it's a scam project cause there are tons of good ICO projects but they still scammed bounty hunters by paying 10 times lower as they said or not paying for months.

Dude, have you seen if someone has already posted about the link that will bring you to the accusation thread? i thought that you must read it again. That thread has created by another person that getting scammed by this one too.

It's not strange at this time when you joined a scam bounty campaign from a scam ICO project. I also joined few scam bounty campaign before which I've wait for almost a year but still no respond. Beside there are few bounty campaign which paid but number of token even doesn't enough to pay withdraw fee. LOL.

This situation is already reported in scam accusations section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114598.0)
It is not that the whole project turn in to a scam, but about that dev team want to cut 85% of tokens allocation for bounty rewards.
Read my previous post, right over yours to understand situation.

And what does an investor have to do with it ? you guess the theme not read even lied to the bounty hunters.
In my experience, few of the projects after such deceptions could hold out for a long time in the market, if the team does not honestly play by the rules then the market against the coin will also play

It's quite frustrating and inhumane for a project to use the time and effort of bounty hunters for a period of 8 months, only to walk away. Bounty hunters are been relegated by projects. They see our service as nothing. I only wish that the arm of the law gets to the developers. Bitcoin talk may be unable to do much, if it's an exit scam.

Continue with spreading a negative word about Keplertek. All ICOs that did not pay bounty hunters should be red flagged.

One more time! It is not exit scam neither the project has turned into a scam. Developers want to scam only bounty participants. However, there is still a chance that this situation will not end in a scandal, Kepler will understand his mistake and pay the right reward.

I could not find any information about their CTO. The personal page on his linked is fake. I do not believe that they increased their money to $ 14.8 million. There are no rules that guarantee bounty hunters' rights. This is boring

Reuben Godfrey was earlier exposed as a scammer by being involved in exit scam projects. When we mentioned him the first time, he connected us in Telegram and asked to delete an article because he as he said, he tried to do good things for crypto and we had been damaging his reputation. After near a half of the year he was involved in one more scam project - Keplertek.



He also told me in Telegram he would sue to shitcoin offering.

that bounty managed by wapinter right? i dont remember about the bounty manager but i've been there too
joined bounty for their social media and wait too long without any explanation from their developer

I thought keplertek was a scam after seing the project. First they were putting a 250m $ soft cap building a robotic factory on georgia. And later it dropped around 20m $ hard cap. It was unrealistic at start and later it changed for filling their pockets.

It is not a shock they are also scamming bounty hunters.

What I remember, if my memory is good, is that keplertek team decreased their token price from $1.25 to only $0.05 and maybe the campaign fund decreased also. But if you are saying that the bounty fund is only 0.03% this is not accordingly to the price decrease of 25x is 4x less. Note that this is just my theory, I may be wrong. Cheers!

Lol they aware if they will never reach that first hardcap and that's why they have decrease their hardcap to the 20 millions dollars. that's not created by a real team but that was a scam ico that created by scammers. There is still a lot of scammers in these days.

I hope more and more bounty campaigns will offer escrow for the bounty tokens so the bounty hunters won't be scammed and i hope it will become a thing later on, that would solve most problems of bounty hunters.


Dude yes, let them sue you that would be a easy win and easy money, they're literally digging their own grave if they sue you.

I like the way you have presented this project as i think we should publically shame the projects and team members that have not paid the rightful reward tokens to bounty hunters, there is a large list of such projects in last one year some which i recall are securix, swiss alps, scavo, equi, athero and many others some of them have not yet denied bounty rewards but lame excuses and months and months of wait means they do not want to pay.

It is not the best to allow it to get to this stage before bringing their scheme to the public. By now, they would have taken money from investors. Even if they list on exchange, the project might nit last long. This is more reasons we need to do our own research before investing in any project or before promoting any of them as bounty hunters.

There are too many scams and bounties not paid nowadays, I'm very disappointed and I decided not to start new bounty campaigns until situation will be better, I'm just finishing current bounties.

Keplertek is not just one of the project that have scammed bounty hunters this year, many projects end up not paying bounty hunter of the little effort been put for their project to succeed also scamming investors as well, this is very disappointing and discouraging. Wish there are legal laws been put in place to eradicate scammed project.  

very sad to hear that even though the project had a good review on some review sites ico and its team also did kyc, meaning that now things like that don't guarantee that the project is correct "don't cheat

Yeah, i don't think they created anything yet will produce anything. Just a scam ico, i also don't know did they say what amount they raised but probably it is also a lie. If they did get any money for this, that would be very low. It had big red flags for investors.

exactly! I think they are already RIP

They tried to hack Telegram of a person who've shared the material to us...
And by the way I haven't heard anything from them, I'm waiting for the court ;D

a bad news again, many bounty program with long duration ending by scam or didnt pay of bounty hunters hardwork, is there any something who can protect hunters from being cheated.

I'm not familiar with Keplertek project. But what I have noticed is that majority of projects now are holding their tokens and it takes time for them to release it, specially to bounty hunters. Maybe them have their own reasons, but it doesn't look good at the eyes of crypto enthusiast.

Maybe the reason is the bear market, but it's not enough though, it's either they are really going to scam investors or bounty hunters or they are afraid of the dumping.

Firstly don't think that as a bounty hunter you are safe if you participate in bounties managed by other bounty managers and not the teams themselves ,if I should start mentioning names of bounty managers that cheat hunters my post will be larger ,the answer is its vice versa and my thought is they never met that 14million hardcap its all lies ,don't give up and be more careful next time

Getting scammed and not getting paid after bounty is nothing new. I have been doing bounties for over a year and i have too many projects that failed to pay us. And some of them are still pending and we still waiting to get paid. There are so many reasons why bounty hunters are not getting paid. It's either the project didn't hit the softcap or the developers are scammers. However, we should not stop on promoting legit projects and sadly only few of them are left.

i actually wanted to join their bounty and am glad that i did not do it. if i read the tread like that, it was probably the right decision. it is really not nice to see how many projects want to cheat their bounty participants. that is really a bad development. new projects break their name for a few tokens. is it really worth it?

In this cas sometime managers cheating bounty hunter, or the team doesnt want to pay as they promised, but for keplertek because already in scam thread also many people say this project scam, so the problem in team, i think no one we can do.  I just want to suggest to prevent case like this, join in bountyhive because they never pay less always same with the allocation, they already escrow the token, so team cant intervene it

And what was the reason to not pay bounty hunters? They are afraid of bounty hunters dump? I think that angry bounty hunters could make more damage and harm the reputation more than price dump.  ;D

No one know the reason why team not pay the bounty hunter but already hunter in this forum disappointed with this project, and of course will give negative impact to project. If team afraid about dump from bounty hunter the must find alternative solution like project pay as bitcoin or ethereum ;D
