Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys,

In a bid to fight bounty scammers and spammers on the telegram campaign, there is a great wisdom in the format adopted by julerz12 in his GEOMA bounty campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223521.0), you are first told to answer questions on a google format just to test your simple knowledge on Cryptocurrency and then still require you to apply on google form together with Proof-Of-Authentication on the bounty thread.

Some hunters just quickly come to the google application form, deplore several telegrams or even steal some bitcointalk users telegram username  who are not participating in telegram campaign, and use it to cheat. This is why we do see over 2k-8k telegram applicants on a single campaign on the spreadsheet which sometimes will give the BM and his team a hard time verifying and sorting out real workers from cheaters and spammers, they may not be able to fully do a perfect job.

This style employed by Julerz in GEOMA bounty campaign is a step in the right direction which I believe has helped to chase off some telegram scammers and spammers off this campaign and thereby reducing applicants to only serious campaigners and at the end will lessen the overall job of the BM. There were days I got discouraged seeing over 8K in some telegram campaigns.

Let me hear your suggestions too. Thanks.

Let me add a link to the questions (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDi-1RXiX-G37RLcEAs9RN8UUiXS8mANJ8T_vWJHYSuPFykg/viewform), on the application form, there is equally a code you must enter to proof you are not a bot.

People who knows how to use internet can tell answer for any questions because literally google have answer for everything you wanted to know.But I appreciate the action,better to limit the participants than doing other strategies so they can have real participants who actually promoting a project.

The entire cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing corrections as well as taking up new dimension that will push the whole sector to see more adoption. It's a good thing seeing lots BM's coming up with innovative means to take bounty hunting to the next level, the way julerz is handling Geoma Dao campaign shows nothing but a pure professionalism as his approach of escrowing the bounty payment before the start of the bounty will save everyone the trouble peculiar to the release of bounty payments.

There are other notable managers that are taking innovative measures, example is Masulum who is currently managing Sheng global and spyce bounty which are both currently staging IEO on probit. Aside the fact that these are projects with lots of potentials,  Masulum devices a means to ensure only minimal participant with hunting experience are able to join the campaigns. Campaigns being managed Masulum gives no room for spammers and multiple accounts users and everyone gets rewarded according to their efforts.

Another notable management group is the bounty detective Team,  i really love how they managed their campaign as well as their responsiveness for handling hunters issues. Just as their name implies, they're a good detective when it's comes grading article and content campaigns as they do curb away all the spammers and plagiarized contents. The team colaborated with another notable bounty manager of this forum @btcltcdigger ..... I'm sure their collaboration will bring a new dawn to bounty hunting

Answering questions before participating on bounty campaigns ad did by BM Julerz GEOMA DAO is quit interesting thereby reducing the number of spammers from campaign,. Understand something,, Julerz said try to answer even if you get it wrong,, to me he was just trying to know how good you are in the cryptosphere. Some hunters just know how to participate in campaign and never know what blockchain and cryptocurrency is all about, so I think providing a suitable questions/interviews before joining bounty campaign is good. Thanks.

It is a very nice idea to chase away those that are not ready to work and those stealing bitcointalk accounts to run multiple accounts.  Even if participants use internet to answer some of those questions, at least they would have learnt one or two things about crypto and with that a purpose is achieved, rather than registering for bounties without any basic knowledge of what they're doing.  For example, there are some high rank members of this forum that created a thread through which they give merits to whosever deserve it based on how you can answer some basic to medium questions about crypto and blockchain tech.

This is something new, and other bounty managers should be encourage to do the same and this is to weed from fake bounty hunters to serious one, another good thing Julerz has done is to escrow the fund, bounty hunters has had issues on long bounty campaign and with no guaranteed of distribution, if the rewards is escrow the responsibility now lies with the bounty manager.

I did participated or register for the signature campaign but unfortunately I answer a wrong from the list of question and I message him why I am not accepted and due to my error I am not accepted. But no hard feelings instead an admiring way on how to not let experienced parricipants to join without full knowledge of what they will promote. Thumbs up to Julerz as the way of joining have some screening and this is good.

That is pretty innovative of him. I haven't seen the questions so hopefully there are questions related to the project too. He must be randomizing the questions too so that people don't just copy-paste the answers. I think the people who spam these campaigns usually do it in close coordination with other spammers so such randomization or periodically updating the questions would help.

All in all, the julerz12 deserves all the appreciation for such an initiative.

Questions are almost related to GeomaDaO and its all about DaO. The answer can be research thru online but still plenty of questions is quite an effort. Not all manager can input like this, so its good on julerz12 reputation. Checking the bounty thread itself, funds have been escrowed and this is a good move for the project since teust is built already from company to community. The only thing that matters now is if the project will be good. Good luck to those who joined this campaign.

Well, one who knows nothing about blockchain and cryptocurrency would be caught because he strictly warn against using google. Nevertheless it's also good you have knowledge of what you are promoting. Check the telegram participants it's not yet up to 500 as against the 4,000+ we usually see, this has greatly helped. I respect this mode.

It is a great one only those who really knows about crypto or blockchain could enter the bounty.
I think this is what the forum needs to lessen the newbie's who are only spamming some non-sense on the forum,
Creating new account just to post some accusation or other things that doesn't help others.

This is a good act coming from a bounty manager. At least with this style, the spammers that comes to fill the spreadsheet and just posts their applications will be reduced, they will be delayed because of that requirement.

They will do it for sure once they have seen how effective it is and if they do really care to the bounty they manage.

Hm, I trust that bounty manager called julerz12, he takes no nonsense from any cheater and he is very good at detecting cheaters too, it will be good if other bounty managers can learn from him, we have too many cheaters in this forum today, making bounty hunting very scary

Great move from bounty managers before accepting participants.


But to be honest it will only reduce participants to join in a bounties but it will help the project to be successful ? No .

The good thing is it will disqualified those cheater and people  who dont even know what project they are promoting is, which is actually important also to project owners .

Having a bounties not only means you will recieve a rewards but you are also a potential investors/ and investing your timr  so you need to know everything about the project before participating.

Well I don't think that scammers or cheaters are that stupid not to get a question right, if all questions are related to GeomaDao then cheaters will go all the way to get the right question and fill them up, do not underestimate cheaters, they can go any lent

Julerz12 is one hell of a strict bounty manager, I participate in last bounty project called BMY.Guide and many people or cheaters are deal with instantly, but the reward is so low, it's like joining an airdrop, I earned 7$ lol

Indeed, this strict rule is a request from the team so that not many scamer participates so BM Julerz does what the team wants, I think Julerz does a good job even in being very quick in responding from participants who experience problems at the bounty, and hopefully I am the bounty that is now managed by Julerz and it is successful and in accordance with what the team promised.

this is exactly what this mean,people can just check answers in internet  and actually this will only add some extra time for each Hunters to find answers and fill the form so i think there will no changes.

but this Move of GEOMA DAO in Julerz12's name is one good move to let hunters that the Team is aware about their cheating so they may be careful or do the right thing in future.

Just add Julerz12 to my BM list, he is good and cheaters have no chances at all, look at the spreadsheet of GeomaDao it has limited approved participants, this can't be denied, Julerz12 get rid of cheaters easily with his strategy, others should learn from him

Not just this bounty manager only, we have others that are very strict with participants as well, like bubbalex, other bounty managers are too lazy to find cheaters on spreadsheet, they only care about their payment, if cheating can be controlled on here bounties will become profitable

Julerz is one of the bounty managers who is trusted and professional in handling the campaign, and also some members of this forum also usually help bounty managers find cheater who joined the campaign. And if you also find other cheats you can create a thread on the reputation board.

Being part of this campaign mentioned by OP?i must say this is the very first time i experienced such questionaire just for application.
i use to fill just my own details but this time?i must answer questions about the GEOMA DAO project and not just random question.

actually this took me time to research first about the project though Julerz12 mentioned that it doesn't need to be answered perfectly instead answer truthfully and dont Lie.

Proud to be part of this campaign.

Believe me cheaters will always cheat and they can't be 100 percent neutralized, but kudos to julerz12, it's better to try than not doing anything like most bounty managers

Asking questions about cryptocurrency which can be gooten from the Internet is not a good approach to minimising scammers from telegram campaign. Measure such as making posts only qualifies for rewards is the best approach every bounty hunter in telegram campaign will have to be actively involved in the telegram forum for a reward. By so doing no one can impost another user.

Telegram Campaigns in bounties are always over crowded and 90 percent of the users are cheaters, they use multiple bots, it's always bounty managers duty to fish them out and ban them, I will never join a bounty campaign managed by inexperienced bounty manager

I have also done that test since you will not be accepted from the campaign if not.

I think it is something unique. But look, other managers don't have to copy it.
They have their own unique styles on how things will flow.
Some of them uses the basic campaign management but yet strict with the rules. I still prefer not forcing it to anyone. Just let them do their job.

Indeed, this is the first time I have seen questionnaire questions for hunters completing their application and if they carelessly call it, julerz will disqualify because for julerz he is a hunter, in fact it could be a scamer who answers the origin of the application.

But I think it's good to reduce the scamer that happens in bounty hunters because they always come in a lot.

Yes, the process was very useful and I am also a participant in that bounty campaign. When I saw that form the first time I am surprised a little bit but later I realized its because the spammer are doing this. The idea was great an I think it worked pretty well. Because spammer do not have that knowledge or time to find out that many answers I think.

Trying is something that should be done by everyone, but before trying anything, we must first analyze and make a little research so that when trying something we have the right track.

There are good managers who fight against the spam, they often check bounty participants and their posts, but also there are managers who just wish more people in bounty, they don't do anything against the spam, what more they encourage spam by paying them same like good posters.
It's good to check the manager before joining bounty, among other things we should check. It's important if you wish to end up with nothing after months of participating in some bounty.

Some bounty hunters would just say, "that's another job!"... most of them just want it simple and even if there are forms actually that every bounty hunters will fill up, that does not eliminate the cheats.. I think the problem here is more on the side of the developers as they have more scams done compared to the bounty hunters, but I am not saying the effort is useless, of course it's useful.

What I'm more interested into is quality bounty projects not just because of Bounty Manager, good bounty managers promote bad projects too, the last bounty from julerz12 was bmy guide and the reward is too small, many cheaters are banned but still reward is not good enough

It's not even surprising to me, some bounty managers don't even know the importance of Proof of Authentication posts, which makes the bounty to be vunerable to spammers and cheaters, many bounty managers still have a lot to learn but this doesn't mean projects have quality or not, it's a different story

I have to admit it is an educative attempt by Julerz, because not only is the test going to chase off bounty scammers, it is also going to educate every bounty hunters that did that questionairre.

We need to start understanding the core context of crypto currency as bounty hunters and also teach the newbies, so that the rate at which participation in shit and scam bounties can reduce greatly.

If other bounty managers can do ths, then bounty hunters get to learn different information from different project.

Definitely thats the word to described it. The manager probably has been assigned by the developer to incorporate the questionaire. I can see that based on the list of questions relay on the form. But to be honest,  julerz is very professional when it comes to campaign handling. I remember when I joined his campaign on bmy guide, the tokens has been paid and not so late.

Maybe you did join only small budget campaign. I did earned some good from bmy, yes youre right, it will depend on the project but as a hunter, seeing your work being updated on time is also cool.

Check the set of questions most likely its the team requirement that probably hand on julerz for inclusion.

I have nothing against bounty managers unless they fail to make sure that bounty hunters get paid, bounty Hunters duty is to make sure that a particular project is worth promoting, this shouldn't be considered as a fault of Bounty Manager, give me a good bounty and I will be glad to join

quite a lot of scammers joined the bounty campaign because the rules aren't too strict, but julerz12's manager is very professional and meticulous in implementing regulations that can prevent scamers from joining a bounty project managed by him. we hope that other bounty managers also apply fairly strict rules when managing bounty projects.

I love this, absolutely love this and I asked many projects I supported in the past to do this. In fact, this is another sign that the project is a scam and not worth it no matter if you love the idea.

If they are not willing to do these additional steps,,, stay away. It is much better than verification or KYC which people can cheat anyway!

Not just understanding the core concept of cryptocurrency we need to have basic knowledge of every project we promote. I bet most hunters here have no idea the solutions project they're promoting is providing to the world all we do is promote and wait for payment.

My own message to all bounty managers is to take their work very serious and they shouldn't give spammers any chance, if we can have solid bounty managers like julerz12, arteezy, bubbalex in this space there will be limit to spammers and fake bounty managers

This is pretty good and new, it's also very effective at reducing multiple accounts and spam. because I am sure every field must only have 1 answer for each questioneer from the geoma dao. when I saw in the spreedsheet some were rejected, maybe because they could not pass the questioneer and that was part of the rules required to join the geoma dao bounty. This is a good step and a new project or bounty can mimic the method used by Geoma Dao.

Not just telegram, I've seen other bounty campaigns like video that cheaters steal btt address of others to claim tokens without the real btt account users knowing, bounty managers are to be blame for this but still this doesn't clear the fact that many bounties are waste of time

Julerz12 is a badass BM, many bounty hunters will always get rejected from his campaign because he takes his time to investigate thoroughly before approving any bounty Hunter, this extreme measure makes his bounties safe from spammers and bot users

I was so intrigued by how the manager did it so I took the test.
Wow, I was amazed by the questionnaire.

Some of them are really difficult to answer if you don't have the right knowledge about the project he is operating.
The good thing though is you don't have to force yourself.
It was a real challenge if you won't research.
I suggest the others to do it at your own knowledge only.

Somehow it can also prove something for the project owner that maybe some of us here doesn't really have that right amount of knowledge about blockchain yet.
That way, it could be worked out.

This is not the first time bounty manager asks to answer few question about the project. Previously I've faced a campaign, where hunters needed to select correct answer which could be found in whitepaper (easiest way was to use "find" and search the answer). But Julerz improved that. I like that the answer in questionnaire must be your own words. You read the question, find the answer, read it, understand it and fill the questionnaire.

I also saw that campaign and it's the first time that is implemented here, the best part is bounty manager escrow the rewards, this is to guaranty proper distribution, and bounty hunters can have a peace of mind that rewards will be received in time, bounty managers should follow this lead, from Julerz, it brings positivity to the campaign.

The answers to the questions given by julz can be search from the internet though.

What he may add later is the questions only the forum users knew like which is LoyceV alt account or something like this.  This will lead these bounty hunters to unite and have a group where they can ask questions and what the answers are. And if the questions are too hard, this disqualify someone who can actually promote the project will millions of twitter followers.

I had been a part with him to promote a project on this forum and you are right he is a good bounty manager. He will try to update everything that he knows to bounty hunter in order to prevent any miss communication specially when the distribution come. You will be safe with him and yoh will get reward as your portion. But if I give a criticism against him, he has a lack knowledge to choose good and bad project, because I got a lot of token for almost 50.000 amount of token but there is no value against them. The project just eventually being shitcoin and I got nothing from it. Maybe it will be a learning for him, to be a bounty manager is not about to ensure that the bounty hunter get the token but more than that he should make sure that the coin has a value in the future.

The steps taken by JULERZ12 are very effective in reducing scammers to participate in projects, and automatically the PM's job will be even easier. During this time the scammer is very troubling, with innovations like this, hopefully it can be adopted by other PMs to prevent the scammers who have been hanging around so much.
I personally strongly support the steps taken by JULERZ12, because with this strategy a fake account has no chance at all to join the project.

indeed with the escrow function like that can provide a little guarantee of payment for bounty campaign participants but you should know that the results given depend on the value of the coin in the market. so developers should also provide support to be able to make expensive coin prices.

I was a participant to one of Julerz's campaign back in the days and actually he handled it pretty well. He made sure that every participant is still wearing the signature until the campaign ends.

That idea is quite new to me and it could filter out participants in the campaign, whether they're just careless bounty hunters who would just speak to complain.

I see that most trusted bounty managers have begun to use strategic steps to optimize their efforts in combating cheaters. Starting with (1) POA system, (2) selection of participant signatures with a merit system, and (3) participant restrictions from members to the top for social media campaigns, this is effective enough to reduce uneducated cheaters. While the method used by Julerz to select the bounty participants is also quite effective, indirectly it makes the bounty participants to study in advance the projects they will support. I really appreciate the hard work and effort of bounty managers in fighting cheaters, we can also help them by reporting accounts that are fraudulent. This will make the bounty campaign better and more effective.

I think it is the task of the bounty manager who has to check all the participants so that there is no double data in the spreadsheet because it is not only from social media that the data thieves do it in several campaigns that have a very large number of participants because they will take advantage of the weaknesses of the bounty manager .

I'm glad you find this additional task pleasing  ;D. Just to be clear, this isn't my idea, it was pitched to me by the Geoma DAO project team.
I took a look at their suggestion and implemented it on the bounty campaign.
Their aim was to screen out fake/bot accounts and only accept users who truly know and follow Geoma DAO project wholeheartedly and wouldn't just join the campaign for a quick cash grab.

Positive effects for implementing these types of questionnaires are obviously having lesser bots, fake and multiple accounts.
Since bot account owners find it hard to fill-up these types of questionnaires (regardless of how easy or hard the questions are), they would just opt-out on joining the campaign.
The Bounty manager can also easily spot bot/fake and multiple accounts through their answers. (Take a look at the image below and see how similar these account's answers are).
https://i.imgur.com/maOaYnC.jpg

Implementing a questionnaire is not a means of totally irradicating fake/bot accounts from any bounty campaign but it sure is doing a great job of reducing their numbers.  ;)

i think it is a nice work put up by the goema bounty manager to put away spammers and it pave way for it. so many people are not interested in his bounty because of the question and the funny ting is the questions are not though. still yet [put are put of from participating. quite impressive.

I have seen the questionnaire and they are all good questions if you are into cryptocurrency you will be able to answer these questionnaires these are basic questions about Cryptocurrency and they are also asking about information about the project that you want to promote since this is the first one I'm pretty sure it will be adopted by other bounty managers

Those were tough questions that I answered, well, I checked google of course, but I used my own words to answer the questions but even though you are searching the answers it is still a good thing like giving a test to bounty hunters as they will know, BM, will know if the hunter is serious when it comes to promoting the project.

The idea of ​​the Geoma DAO project is very good so you use it very wisely to manage their bounties and can filter out some bots that want to enter in the participation of the project you are running so that they know more about the bot coming in more if we pay attention. Your work is very good !!

Sometimes I see in a number of bounties that many bots / scamer enter some bounties, but the manager cannot see them clearly so that many who pass and get lots of scamer tokens are really unnatural in my opinion. Scamer must be exterminated.

I appreciated how he made the test. He totally filtered out the participants to whoever is serious, and would put an effort to simply complying with the prerequisite. Although everything can be searched in the internet but whatever it is still the effort that counts here. This step that julerz did, would surely influenced others current and future BM towards having a list of decent participants, and not to be composed by bunch whoever wants to be part of such bounty campaign. And in additional, it will even more look decent, and organize if the project itself is good to have such worthy participants, and the team behind the project are all entertaining, I mean they always respond quickly to the questions that the participants will ask.

Actually, also good statement applied by JULERZ12 on the project because it will reduce the spamer that has continued to do the action, but if I think there is an easier to solve this problem is by limiting the participants Enter, so in the spreadsheet the participants are not too much and it is also not troublesome.

Yeah these kind of changing in the rules it’s really needed to apply all of the bounty campaign. Because spammers entry so much in every campaig. I think it’s new things started from julerz12 manager because first time i have been experiencing it. Too small entry in the twitter campaign may be it’s around 48-50 participants within 140+. Definitely it’s happened for such new authentication formula. All of Spam/Fake entry is reducing. Real hunters will beneficial for these rules.                            

Exactly, even for genuine bounty hunters it's bit difficult to choose the bounties due to huge number of scammers hence I prefer not to join any bounty until I saw Geoma bounty by Julerz as these restrictions will keep scammers at bay and even after so many hurdles one scammer still filled google form with my username and his ERC address and I am thankful to Julerzs for kicking him out.

Only bounty managers that understand such initiative, will be able to deploy unique methods that could eliminate those bot accounts. Julerz came up with his own initiative and it is working. looking at the Geoma bounty spreadsheet, it shows that his hypothesis worked. Masulum is another bounty manager who also understands how to run a bounty that is free from bot accounts.
These things are not so easy, but at the end, they pay off. the reason being that, it reduces stress on the part of te manager and on te part of bounty participants, only genuine participants receive their rewards.

Frankly speaking, the bounty manager has done the right thing by escrow the tokens in his confer to ensure bounty hunters are paid their dues after their bounty ends. We the hunters had been used and dumped by many, this can be an alternative to curb the issue of participating in a bounty and at the end go home with nothing. Efforts and resources wasted just for the bounty, any manager who can't follow suit should resign from being a bounty manager on this forum. We need our time count on any single bounty we participate.

I more care about the quality of the whole project no matter the bounty manager. julerz12 is of course one of the most precious bounty managers but also he managed unsuccesful projects like Codex or Vfarm.   :'(

Yeah, such a scheme makes filtering fake accounts task easier, but it also filters all those guys who don't know English well or doesn't want to pass this exam :) But maybe it's even better for the campaign to filter those ones.

Maybe the main objective of the team to require Julerz12 asking the participants about these questions is for them to at least make a research first about the project so there can be a traffic right away and some potential investors if they find GEOMA a potentially project.remember that there are bounty hunters that investors as well so having them read their white paper can lure them to invest.

Lol no one is free from failed project ,even the most popular one can sometimes do manage those fail or scams because that is part of the journey .and also scammers are great on this kind.

Btw, instead of forcing bounty hunters to pass KYC (as a method to get rid of bots or multi accounts), the project can ask hunters to answer few question about the project they promoted. That would be fair for both of the side. Project will know what people learned, hunters would knows what there promoting and not just doing automatic retweet/share/shitpost just to make weekly minimum requirements.

Honestly this is not the first time I will hear about this very tactics of asking participants few questions before joining a campaign, I joined liquidapps Airdrops in early January and before you can join you have to answer few questions right or you are out

Julerz12 is a fast learner I guess, getting paid and making profit out of your bounty reward are both different things, I've seen and learn some new things about bounties, quantity matters the most not quality, even if you join a quality bounty project and get paid you can earn just fee dollars, but most money I make from bounties are from low rated projects

It is commendable because it reduces the possibility of spammers joining campaign but in the other way round, it would have been better if we have other great strategies of also protecting hunters by getting paid and not scammed after participating in a campaign. I understand in some platform such as bountyhive, bounty participant tokens are gifted to the manager even before the campaign end and get distributed when the campaign end

Agree to that, this step by Julerz is really commendable as it will bring those spammers and bots not to be allowed joining campaigns who have system like this, extra efforts paid up. Good addition in how to determine bots and real participants.
It's also good if the managers are open and adopt such efforts in order to clean up each projects that they will going to handle.

Really smart from julerz12 out there. It would drop the participants that we normally see in campaigns but hey who likes the bots or the participants who doesn't promotes the project properly. Plus it also ensures that bounty hunters who join the campaign have the basic knowledge about cryptocurrency which is must.

I was thinking of maybe like captcha thing but this idea is on one step ahead with ensuring participants know the basics and thats what I like the most. Kudos to Julerz12.

Well, at least we see a new way to reduce scammers and spammers.
I think if this has a good effect or a good effect maybe other managers will implement this system.
I also don't know about this because I didn't join the campaign maybe I will look at the thread to make sure myself.

if that really can help reduce the spammers in the bounty then all BMs have to do the same way as julerz and I also agree that only those who understand crypto or blockchain join bounty so scammers and spammers will really go

Are you sure in a way like that can reduce spammers? however, they will stay alive and there will always be a bounty manager who makes the rules easier and easier for bounty participants. when the method is successful maybe other managers will imitate it. but every manager has his way and style in managing his campaign.

yeap, Julerz is one of the best campaign manager and hist style of managing bounty is really good even he count stakes after finished the week.Yes Geoma Dao bounty campaign joining rules is best.Because many spammers use bot to do bounty campaign but in this case shit people can't do anything.bounty managers should post bounty in this ways to prevent spammers and bot.

This is not the first time when a BM asked some questions to bounty hunter before joining! I saw this system in 2017, some managers followed this but most of them later stopped, because it is not that helpful to the project. To be honest I haven’t seen any promising thing in Geoma Dao bounty! But Julerz is one of the trusted bounty manager!

I really like this change and really support BM who works hard against a cheater. As a bounty hunter, as much as possible we help BM if we find fraud, this is to create a fair community, so that everyone will get the maximum reward without cheating. This must be based on each other's awareness.
I see a new trend in the bounty campaign, the existence of POA, merit requirements, effective enough to select bounty participants who are truly competent. So that the purpose of holding a bounty campaign is truly achieved, not only in terms of quantity but also quality. Come together to realize this.

I've only saw this in Hhampuz signature campaign were he asked to have "minimum 5 merit earned during last 120 days".
5 merit in 120 days is nothing for ranks, that are allowed to participate. I'd better switch it to 5-10 merit in last 30 days.

On the other hand, this is also no the solution, as people in their proof post next to "EARNED merit in the last 120 days:" write overall merit earned number or "slightly" increased real amount earned in 120 days :)

An effective and praiseworthy strategy by julerz12 to find out the bounty participants who really deserve it and I think it's really necessary for other bounty managers to implement on this strategy with more improvements if possible hopefully after that we will definitely see the lack of scammers.

This is what makes Julerz as one of the best BM in this forum,

He came up with this new strategy to avoid spammers participating in his campaign. This is also to make the project clean as it assures that every participant will have their own research before participating in a certain campaign. Because most of the time, hunters just participate without knowing anything about the project.

Even you have the required 5 merit it doesnt mean you will be accepted in the campaign he manage even you have 10 merit its still harder for you to join.

You know why because they will choose best of the best to participate in the campaign he manage . I mean he give priority to those member's who have  recieve many merit than others.

We see 2k-8k telegram applicants primarily because some individuals do not hesitate to use the huge telegram bot farms - you're right.
Other managers should take as an example the practice that is applied above.

You are right, the whole downfall of the cryptocurrency market is due to lack of regulations as the concept of blockchain frowns at any form of regulations. However, this concept are being abuse on daily basis and in the bid of that, we've seen some governments authorities trying to bring regulations that will correct the cryptocurrency sector. I can say bounty hunting is going through correction too, the various methods and approaches being adopted by bounty managers now will pave way for a new generation of bounty hunting where hunters will earn decent reward as well as carry out tasks

this is good action from julersz , its prevent many things in future about bot.asking confirmation in telegram we know and confirm that its really human in group. as we know many bots now entering many telegram group and some of them bring referal link which is very disturbing group and many spam.

I love Julerz and his method of operations. I love the questionnaire aspect as it reduces the number of scammers signing up for the campaign.. Anothet thing that thrills me is how fast he is to updating spreadsheet. This is what a lot of BMs lack. At the end makes the work difficult for such BM. But with Julerz bounties, he ensure to update every campaign before the start of new weeks. Kudos!

Other BMs should emulate from him.

I also like the manager like that, always timely spredseed update and give stake to the participants, not to mention the payment of the bounty is held by him so the bounty is still paid, I have participated in 1 bounty from him and time place payment

That means he has a good skill to create a negotiation. as far as i know, if everything that has already escrowed can increase the trust of the participants and investors too. That can be considered as a way for the team to show all of their cooperation to create the project seriously.

He is a professional manager at this forum. I also like his way of working, very quickly and accurately. He always supports everyone in the best way, but I'm sorry that there are so few successful projects when he manages. Although we receive tokens, they are worthless tokens and we cannot sell them at exchange

No matter how pro a bounty manager is they will sometimes promote bad projects, that's not entirely their fault because projects can fail anytime and few can even turn to scam, not all scam projects can be easily detected

Exactly like that, they cannot avoid scam projects because they are not part of the project. They don't know what the true purpose of those projects is, I've been following a lot of bounty from him, but it seems he met a lot of scam projects in the last few years.

Julerz is a very strict guy about bringing a bounty project, he doesn't want to deceive his bounty followers like many others. Sad but true is, most of his recent campaigns were nothing but shit or worthless. I have participated in Curio, the reward was very less and the price was dumped highly, then I did the Codex and some others bounty, the reward was worthless, his last campaign named bmy.guide also was a failure for the hunters. That's why I am not interested in his recent Geoma Dao campaign!

I totally agree with you. There is nothing difficult to pass this "exam". In any case, if someone does not know something, then you can always peep. Those users whose survey was unsuccessful are very surprised.

That's a very good message from the poster and thumbs up to JULERZ12... I think many bounty managers are beginning to apply strict measures to accepting bounty hunters, another example is MASULUM, the bounty manager for spyce and Sheng, he's measure is very strict as well, if all bounty managers can apply such measure as MASULUM and JULERZ12, spreadsheet won't be filled with cheaters. Others should learn so real hunters can have a good reward for there job.

I can't hold myself after saw spreadsheet in Geoma DAO. You can't answer questions until you know about cryptocurrency and also this project, at least we know what is the project purpose. Some hunters joined in this campaign but can't fill this compulsory form. I think this is good but what about new hunters, makes some easy for them.
