Title: Not all that glitters are gold
Post by: Balladtony77 on May 01, 2020, 09:01:42 AM
After tachyon protocol bounty became successful bounty hunters have since then become addictive with low bounty allocations, I have few facts to share with you today

1. Blockburn

This bounty campaign has only 15k worth of rewards, many said quality matters, well I don't doubt that, but I want you to learn from this, as small as the bounty allocation is they still scam, on BW exchange and cointiger the team dumped and they said they don't know who did it, for those who like judging based on use cases well blockburn had a good one. This makes many investors fall victim here, they raised lot of money easily.

2. IMO Platform

Another bounty campaign that introduce Initial Model Offering, something new to attract investors and bounty hunters, it did work because many invested on the IMO Token but in the end it's big scam or Ponzi scheme, the only connection I can find between this two projects is the bounty manager, a crazy bitch called @Duchesspink

This BM is very rude and I did challenged her on telegram about a project that raised fund successful on IMO Platform called HCE, she said she will get back to me after finding answers from the team but later she blocked me, becareful about this perfect scammers, nowadays scammers are capable of creating attractive projects, low bounty allocations doesn't count.

Scammers knows what investors want, be very careful

The two projects that you said were rubbish projects, so I didn't join the two projects, and apparently I didn't feel sorry when I didn't join the two projects, because the project was held by savage scammers and always made strange rules like those in IMO project.

LOL, :D it looks like you are sleeping and waking up suddenly, who said that the Blockburn project is a very good project? I am a participant in the Blockburn project and to this day I have not been paid by them, so I want to see evidence that "many high-ranking members of this forum say that Blockburn is a very good project", can you provide proof of this? or you should read it here:

It's not also the project but the manager who managing it is also the worst bounty campaign manager that i have ever seen. it looks like that BM has already made a collusion with the team.
OP is also putting the main concern to the BM too. In my knolwdge if that BM is also a scam BM like kakatua

Sincerely speaking, many have missed it all because they are not eager to think out of the box due to their inability to do their own research before invest. Investment is good when you are also good in research because many of these scammers have device a other means to scam without be notice and this method is working for them, let's us be more wiser than them at this point. Many other projects are coming out due to Bitcoin halve and we should be more careful to invest on new projects.

Post by: electronicash on May 01, 2020, 10:15:31 AM
that campaign is really cruel. they pumped the project and when bounty hunters saw the price is quite high they rush to join the campaign. i would have joined too if i was just not busy on to something. maybe you should track the team and always warn people about their upcoming scam.

funny thread tittle.  ;D   don't you think this will also happen to some bounty campaigns that coins are also listed like IQCASH?

It was suggested as a good bounty campaign that one can join on this forum, for example cryptoaddictchie, it wasn't guaranteed though so the members aren't at fault, to say the fact it's not their duty to do research for anybody

The most embarassing situations about this is that that BM you uploaded is increasingly getting related to scammers this days.
IMO deceived everyone including their investors lol

And blockburn is struggling already; perhaps swapping the token and listing immediately with a memorable price allowed previous hodlers to dump and take profit of which is the right thing to do.

Both projects failed woefully; and hunters now need to do their researches even more concretely to avoid another scenario.

Don't compare these bullshit projects with the tachyon project. They are a big project and are listed on big projects. I was not surprised that blockburn became a scammer, they left the project when IEO was completed and now they leave a huge landfill.


Title: Re: Not all that glitters are gold
Post by: Emilyearl on May 01, 2020, 11:46:19 AM
And vice versa. Some legit projects has been tagged as scam here by various persons but today these projects are doing well with their project development. We should learn not to be in a haste to condemn a project because well thought out scam leaves no trace behind. Many projects have collapsed in this same vein.


Title: Re: Not all that glitters are gold
Post by: Jating on May 01, 2020, 11:47:15 AM
I'm not familiar with this projects but it seems they put a good strategy (based on what you just posted here), specially

1. low quality cap, then they pump it up
2. many members see it an opportunity to make money, join the bounty
3. BM is rude
4. Now it is a shit project

@bitbollo has put a good investigation and even posted a scam accusations against the project.

So everyone should watch out about this low cap projects or shall I say "low crap" as this is another way to attract investors and bounty hunters to fall for their trap.

I also saw IMO being a bullshit project from the beginning. It has made many people lose money when investing in their platforms, and also thanks to this article I saw the bounty manager of the two projects are the same. Apparently both projects are bullshit and scam

i partook in this two bounties and really i benefited little from IMO but blockburn was a total failure  i never expected. the storyline about the insulting campaign manager is not new here. she ws known by all for her quick and insolence way of responding to questions about bounties. One thing participants failed to understand is that she knows nothing about this two projects that she managed. she was used as a means of fending off bounty hunters.

this is what ive said before  . scamers are really getting smarter too and they know that people are now avoiding huge allocations  but now that scams exist  on low bounty allocations i think this will be hard now to choose if which projects are best to join .  if i were to choose id say that huge bounty allocations are too good to be true so they are likely scam  , i will still risk on low allocated ones  and i will accept the result failed or not  .  we just need to move on and advance if we really wanted to earn

I am hearing a lot of complained about the transparency of this BM. Mostly on the blockburn which whoever ask about their stake or reward are get banned. This is a typical attitude of scammers. Even IMO platform has been like a scam project now. I am wanted to join to their bounty before but good thing I did not.

This BM should be avoided. I mean why she is banningg people who were just entitled for answer. Well thats a legitimate question of course, they are just asking for their hard earned tokens from bounty then their experienced a rubbish attitude.

Until you lose a lot of money in the cryptocurrency market, you will not be serious about cryptocurrency assets. Experience is the main thing you can get over the years in this market.

I do not get where these bounty manager's get this attitude. I mean firstly you are promoting a poor quality project where chances of hunters being paid any reasonable amount is very low on the other hand you are getting paid yourself weekly in eth btc or usdt yourself, still you behave badly with the hunters who are the lifeline of the campaign so you need to respect them atleast.


Title: Re: Not all that glitters are gold
Post by: FanEagle on May 01, 2020, 07:39:44 PM
Honestly scammers will always find a way to scam people, that is why they are scammers to begin with, there is really nothing you can do. However when there is so much weirdness going around with a company (or a project) you should never try to find an excuse for them, same in life as well, hell even same in politics which is a big issue.

When someone does something that is getting a lot of angry responses, do not try to find a way to calm people down, if it gets heat for no good reason at all then you can defend but if they do something that gets heat that is not your responsibility at all.

If a project does something wrong, or smells funny, just walk away, do not spend another second or dime there, there is a lot of other cool projects out there which you can check out.

People who join Bounty certainly have their own reasons, and it's clear that bounty participants can't just be blamed because they only use their free time to bounty, and now each participant also does his research before joining the bounty.

I really like your point of view and strongly support it. IMO project from the beginning looked messy to me, users didn't have full control of their wallet to begin with, no private keys or mnemonic phrase or keystore. Also, the percentage locked after participating in the initial exchange model was way huge compared to the percentage released, doesn't really  make sense. Many Bounty hunters fall prey especially when a coin is trading (with low allocation as usual) or when the project has high allocation and hype even without being listed. The manager in charge also matters, that's one of the things to check before doing any bounty. Most importantly, do your best to ensure the project is genuine, if at the end things  go south, atleast you've done your part, there mustn't be a perfect end all the time.

If this is practicing by all the bounty hunters then who are feeding all those shit scam bounty campaigns? So its clear that not every bounty hunter is bothered to do enough research they just get attracted towards offers, social media activity and fake devs. ;D

You have named just two i can name more than two dozen such projects that have either not paid the bounty rewards or have lowered the reward after campaign end, massive devaluation on exchanges has happened to almost all projects so rewards have shrunk further automatically also do not forget a lot of exit scams and failed projects so all in all last 2 years have been terrible.

Indeed. Being an investor also brings responsibility for each of us. Not just because you have the money, you'll invest whenever you want unless you don't care with where you are throwing your money.

Scams are almost everywhere and they'll come again with possible more batches this time because they can see that the market is growing and profitable again. To bounty hunters and investors, always look for feed backs and do research with the project you'll commit time and money.

It's so surprising that Blockburn could even turn out this. That is the second time that the project will be resurrecting and I hope this time it won't be the end of it. Low allocation sometimes is to paint to investors that the price will be in shape. Doesn't really mean anything in the real world.

that is indeed true. I have heard a lot of negative news about the project you mentioned and even many participants who have taken part in the project so far have not received tokens or the project ended in being a fraud. I survived not taking part in it at the time.

Inspire Motivate Overcome (IMO) charity initially began its work in 2006 by providing recreational and diversionary activities for young people in the Audley & Queens Park ward in an urban town called Blackburn, Lancashire. Since then it has grown its offering to work with and alongside the community; filling gaps in service where the people tell them there is need. IMO’s ethos is to support all of those who have an influence on the future generations whether that be family, peers, statutory organisations, businesses or the wider community.

Blockburn is a fully funded project, and as a result no funds will be solicited via ICOs, IEOs or any form of sales whatsoever. The project was propounded to enact a better store of value and equipped with an anti-inflationary architecture to help combat inflation induced depreciation.

mere reading about them you will want to fall for them they only have beautiful write up and imaginary mission.

Tachyon is one of the most successful projects this year, there is no meaningful dump when bounty hunters get their rewards fairly, prices actually increase. And the telegram account displayed by the OP became one of the BM teams in Tachyon. Certainly not comparable to blockburn that looks full of engineering, a few days ago I saw someone who reported that the price dropped dramatically. see? even though the one managing the campaign is the same person, it doesn't mean the success in each campaign will be the same. We must realize this bud, cryptocurrency is very difficult to guess.

Not just Blockburn, even Spyce is not going side ways, distribution to bounty hunters is still months away, I don't know why these projects are doing all this nowadays, projects that looks promising turn scam in a blink of an eye

It's just the way crypto space works, you will never know what lies ahead until it's over, no one can predict the outcome of every bounty projects, choosing a project to promote is extremely hard than trying to invest in coins, with coins you can choose to invest in top coins, it's different in bounties

Trust is about to be scarce pretty soon especially when dealing with new projects. They started to ruin it in the past 3 years ( that was 2017 when bounty, crypto projects hit on the floor and BOOM, and then get broke after. That was a terrible thing happen in crypto and that it hurts everyone's trust. Should they care about turning it back, I have to doubt that they won't.

Maybe these projects may seem to look good on the outside but have to think about how it looks inside. That's the quest?

Trust in new projects is already gone, investors only care about making money out of IEO projects from top exchanges, as for bounties the hope or chance of getting good rewards are getting slimmer, if things continue like this I might have to quit bounties

Not only they know what you want but they know how you think so they give what you want and they make things appear as it is what they want, so not only doing your research but more so on what others are saying on a particular project, do not pour everything on a new project, concentrate on more established coins.

Nothing is 100% absolute. I don't know how the low bounty allocations trend comes from and how people would see it as a guaranteed success or definitely not scam. Remember that you must do your own research and be responsible with your time and money.

Exactly, many users on this platform rated these projects especially Blockburn very high along some others which I don't want to mention name.  This even gave some assurance considering the integrity of the BMs handling these projects. Unfortunately it turned out to be like this.  I have long discovered that IMO is more of a scam than true, I stopped participating as well as deleted their app.  I think scammers are just getting more professionals everyday.

Trust in new projects is already gone, investors only care about making money out of IEO projects from top exchanges, as for bounties the hope or chance of getting good rewards are getting slimmer, if things continue like this I might have to quit bounties

Choosing a good bounty campaign is now quite difficult without research. Even though many people say a good project, we still have to do research on the team behind it because when it comes to money, everyone can do anything

They may be a good project, but there is no guarantee they will pay the bounty hunter. We need to analyze the projects before joining, but we also need to be a bit lucky to join the bounty because we won't know in advance which project will pay the hunter.

Getting paid is the issue, if you get paid and your tokens still gives pennies you at least get something, most bounties don't pay bounty hunters anymore, that's the fact, every bounty hunters need to change their strategy, maybe find reliable escrow or BM

It thus seem like 2019 will beat 2020 in terms of new bounty projects, now we have bounty projects with low allocations that still scam bounty hunters, what is going on? We need a solution to this ASAP or else no single bounty hunter will remain before 2021

Any campaign that start censoring people when they ask questions about the project is likely going to end up being a scam, there are many bad examples out there, the reason most people fall victim of these is that they do fail to research about the project but I can tell you there are many reasons that make a project to fail not because it is a scam but some of these good projects failed because the developer is not a business man, does not know how to sell his project to raise fund. I need to be excited about something I want to put my money into

These are just a few examples of scam projects in this market. In fact, I have encountered a lot of scam projects in 2019 and 2020. Surely we will encounter many other scam projects in the future because the current market is very difficult and many new projects will become scam because of a lack of investment budget

Creating a marketing scheme is very important. Blockburn did everything wrong except the marketing part. They either paid the right people or they just paid a lot of people and some of them are the really good people. So at the end of the day, if you pay enough people to market your coin, you are going to get some other people who are interested in it. They will definitely get that kind of attention when they do marketing like that. This is not the first and it will not be the last neither.

Tomorrow I can start a project that will make a lot of money and as soon as I start start marketing from day one, I will get a lot of investment as well. That is why I think we need to learn not to trust every project even if they are giving away a lot of money.

On her facebook page you can find that her hometown is Lagos (nigeria) :D That already tells a lot about this Nigerian Princess.

I can't believe people are falling for scams like that.

Please don't be greedy people. Greed blinds you and you forget to verify the project before putting your money into it. You're better off gambling than sending it to these scammers.
