I believe that bounty campaigns get postponed or extended if the project failed to raised money successfully on exchange through IEO but that's not the case with Oikos DeFi project, the project raised fund successfully on Hoo exchange and they extend the bounty campaign for another 8 weeks after extended for extra 4 weeks before, what is going on? Is the team planning to steal investors money?

Still can't say for now, if you are tired of the dissappointment you can ask the bounty manager to safe your stakes and find another project you wish to promote, I'm a little bit disapointed too but the team had extra tokens to the bounty pool, that's fair enough for me

The problem is bounty manager don't want bounty hunters to leave, he said their stakes will be fortified if they change signature, one of the harshest decisions I've ever seen from bounty managers, this will bring bad reputation to the project honestly

If the extension of bounty is your basis of accusing a project a scam, that's not enough. They're probably doing that for more exposure as that makes their project more known and popular which is effective on their end.

I could be wrong saying that but if there's something wrong with the project itself then the bounty will also be affected.

Most bounties don't want their hunters to leave but if the bounty hunter insists of leaving, they'll get no stake for participating for a long time. The word's forfeited mate not fortified.

They can expand the bounty campaign according to their plan, as long as they supplement the budget, I believe it is okay. Until now, this project is still active and hopefully this is the last time they expand bounty

likely a scam

They successfully collected money? but they are extending it and forcefully not letting participants quit, means the advertisement is a fail probably or they didnt amount of money they want to ran-away with.

I hope history will not repeat, I have seen so many projects in the past that keeps extending their bounty campaign and do not allow their participants to take a leave or vacation without retaining their stakes, the most notorious of this is the Adab projects we have a lot of this like Likerworld I can go on and on, they keep changing their rules I will not be surprised if they locked their token for maybe a year or give only half of the rewards because they can change their rules anytime and people cannot do anything but comply..

The bounty rules didn't say the participants in the signature campaign will be removed if they don't post for weeks so nothing will happen to you if you don't post anyway. DONT POST TO HELP THIS POSSIBLE SCAM!
But someone already figured its a scam project in this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXTIoAoujV8

I don't understand why they need the campaign still when the IEO was already done a week ago. Its pointless to keep it going. The team might just want people to keep swapping their TRX for OKS before runing. Most probably a scam project.

It's not but it looks like they are still need the hunters to keep promoting their project because it has not yet listed on exchange site. I may think if this is their main intention to extend the campaign but they are adding more coins as the reward too.

This is prolly the reason why the Oikos project extended the bounty campaign. (they want more money) I'd preempt you to expect the worst, they may also extend the bounty campaign even after this eight weeks, many other bounties have done things like this before and AFAIK, many of them didn't list in the end, Oikos could also end that way.

Oikos project is probably thinking of making all the money they can now, they may be uncertain of the projects future when it lists, that being said, they may also not have any plans to further develop the project on its use case when listed (It'll then dump) I am not certain this are their plans and imo you can't make any accusations yet, but extending the bounty campaign twice (four weeks...then eight weeks) after successfully generating funds, could be a red flag for investors and bounty hunters of this project.

It's quite early to call them anything but as their defi is online already, they could be elongating the campaign to advertise for their platform. They are in a much better situation than most of the projects and their defi have some activities already. They are providing it in okios token so they don't have any large thing to lose except for the token's price which could again boost if the defi becomes a success.

I left the campaign and I lose 4 weeks of campaign stakes, yes I read that you need to remain in the campaign for you to get all your stakes I think this is unfair, I'm glad I'm out of it and on a much better campaign, they are likely to become Adab where they keep extending the campaign and in the end, the bounty hunters only get 1/4 of the stakes, that's after begging for their share.
Bounty hunters better should brace for the worst scenario as they do not have respect for bounty hunters.

Seems like a generic extend and scam scheme project to me.  I have seen several projects like this.  Extending their campaign for several times and at the end, they just don't pay their participants.  If they do they implement kyc just to narrow down participants that will receive the token and worst the spreadsheet is just left as it is.  Meaning without any token allocation and leave the participants unpaid. 

Just to make sure, care to verify if the bounty manager holds the allocated token for the campaign?  If he does then, rest assured that you (participants) will be paid (that is if the bounty manager decided not to run away with the token) if not then... I hope the project doesn't screw you all bounty participants. 

I also believe in this project because Okios is a big project and is trusted by many investors. In addition, they have IEO successfully at the Hoo exchange, so there was a misunderstanding here. I want to invest in this coin because this is one of the good projects using the foundation of TRON so it will surely be a lot of people choosing to invest in the near future.

Does anyone know what the reasons for the extension were, was a small part of the money paid to you, or are you waiting for them to pay?
The success of the campaign means getting a little cash flow, and therefore the continuation of the campaign should be after paying even a small portion of the profits to you.
If they do not pay, this is a negative indication, and it may indicate fraud. I advise you to create a topic in the fraud section and ask them for all the reasons that led them to extend.

I believe this project will continue and will not steal investors' money what I know but we will see progress in the future but this project looks good as I know and their IEO on Hoo Exchange is quite successful.
Maybe just want to extend the promotion period for the bounty.

Yes I agree there is a possibility that those running this project are those who runs similar campaigns in the past let's look on the similarity:

They change the rules very often like extending bounty rewards from 2 weeks then 4 weeks then 5 weeks and if you leave you lose your stakes
They ask no KYC after the bounty they change it to KYC type of bounty using the old alibi of account cheating
They locked the token because they fear of bounty bounty hunters might dump their token.
And the worst of all not giving your token and dev run away with investor's funds

Check out all those bounty campaign that did this and they all have the same ending

Been there seen this.

there is still no strong evidence to accuse this project of being a scam, maybe they are extending the duration of the bounty just to expand its reach so more people know. but I don't know, because what I know about projects with methods like this is that they end up scamming

I was very surprised when you made a topic about "Oikos a scam project or what?" because I very rarely follow the development of this project when they are still running, and I hope the Oikos team does not plan to steal investor money, because now it is very difficult to find or attract investors into new projects.

Maybe they need to promote more broadly so as to extend the duration of the bounty but there are some bounties that don't accept anymore except social media.
Could it be that Oikos will do an IEO in the second sale? Maybe it could happen.

very often a project extends the duration of the bounty, all have their respective policies on the part of the ICO manager, if the OISKOS bounty is still active then you don't need to worry about the project being scam.

The trade will begin 2 weeks after the IEO and it looks like the team was trying to do the promotion to attract the traders to trade oikos at the same time too. There's no something wrong with it.

The IEO can be considered as a requirement to be listed on exchange site

Everyone must try to do a research before try to say something that they didn't know about. So many investors have been using the product that created by oikos and this is a legit project.

The timing is not bad if you will observed it. They just wanted enough time to give chance for their project to have a liquidity boost by having constant promotions. Complained if they dont even add funds to the bounty pool but the timeframe I guess is too long.

Its impossible that the project could be scam as you all said they have been succesful to raise enough money on their IEO listing also I think its bit harsh the title of this. I know frustration is big, but the team just doing their thing. Worse scenario here is the distribution date, could be extended for a longer period but once they scammed the participants of course they will be punished and condemned here in forum which I think they dont want.

A bounty campaign that was supposed to take 4 weeks end up becoming 16 weeks, wow that's so unbelievable, so what's the problem here? The team already raised good money on hoo exchange, why can't they let participants leave if they want to??? That's so uncool

Its your choice mate, many at times you should listen to your instincts if yours is telling you to stop the bounty then you should do because this project looks good and still active. They have extended the bounty doesn't make them scam project because this has happened many times on this forum. I feel you pains, but you can decide to stop your posting and still get paid at the end, in as much you still keep your signature on. Although, there are rumors about the project but still not valid; it might be another way to sabotage the project.

We can't say anything yet as the project and the team are still showing up and working their ass off. If they really want to still investors money they could have ran when they had already successfully raise enough money to start building the project. They might be some reason why they extended maybe they still wanted some promotional activities to lure more investors or maybe running 2nd set of IEO.

If this is a scam then it should be posted in the scam section with proofs, but judging from all the post here they are mismanaging the bounty campaign by keeps on extending the bounty and keeps on changing thew rules, they have the right to do that but this is not good for the reputation of the project, many projects who keeps changing rules ends up scamming people, so do your own research if there are hints that they are.

After checking the campaign, I see that the bounty pool was increased from 300k OKS to 1million  OKS token kinda short of 200k OKS in ratio with the 300k for 4 weeks initial campaign. Nevertheless, I think it would be better if they just paid the initial campaign and just create a new campaign with the same set of rules.  That way, the participants won't feel and worry about the possible scam to happen, and at the same time would increase the credibility of the said campaign.

Oh well, good luck to the participants and I hope participants will get paid accordingly.

Do not be too quick to say a scam, you should wait for an official announcement from the bounty manager. and don't change your signature so you have the opportunity to be paid.
I experienced many failures in the bounty, and that is the challenge of this job. just a suggestion.

maybe they are preparing other things outside the agenda so that the Oikos project management team extends their project time, but judging from the active Oikos project, it is not possible for the Oikos project to be a scam.

Then you haven't seen what scammers are capable of, I'm not saying Oikos is a scam project but saying because the team are active then can't be scam is wrong, scammers can be active to only fool investors, been active has nothing to do with been a real or legit project.

Actually if the bounty was postponed twice or thrice is not that big deal, but holding hunters against their will to promote the project is the big deal here, why telling hunters who wants to leave they can't and threatening anyone who leaves the campaign won't have their stakes reserved, this is were the problem lies, why are hunters not allowed to leave?

If this is the decision made by the team or the bm I think it is very wrong, the should be able to correct this and make the team understand once a bounty duration becomes a bit long then hunters who wants to leave are allowed to with their stakes reserved, I don't get the force promotion, this is definitely a questionable action.

I didn't participate in Oikos, but if the Oikos project did go well,
it looks like Oikos prices will also be good, because Fomo about DEFI coins is currently rising, hopefully there is clarity about Oikos

Good point they are not the only one who did this, this is very hard for bounty hunters, many bounty hunters are also investors and reviewers, they never want to give positive feedbacks to projects that show indifference to their bounty hunters, I'm sure the team will ignore this thread but those bounty investors will not even lift their hands to join their crowdfunding and that's a big loss for them.

I agree with the posts above, I don't get why the so many postponement of the bounty from 4 weeks to 8 weeks and now 16 weeks and with all this changes happening hunters are not allowed to leave if they feel like it and join another campaign of their choice!  I also think it is wrong to keep hunters in a campaign and not allow them to leave,

Besides, I head the ieo was successful in hoo exchange, if this is the case why do they need to promote the project so long when it already achieve its aim! The bm should have known better and understand how this things works, anyone wants to leave bounty let them leave with their stakes intact, otherwise, It can result to a bad reputation for the project.

You wear the OIKOS signature, if you do not believe in the project, you shouldn´t promote it to the potential investors right? Secondly, most of bounty campaigns are changing rules during the campaign, so it is pretty normal and it doesn´t mean that the project is scam, but they didn´t get expected results.

You can be more objective, this doesn't add up in my opinion mate. The campaign is still very much active and you're one of the participants who are still wearing their signature campaign, so, doesn't mean that you're not in trust with the project? Let's learn to be patient when project is still active both on their social medias and here on the platform. Personally, I think this project is not scam because I don't see any early signs about this, even in the future.

Generally, bounty campaign running 4 - 8 weeks, but this is not a big problem as they increase allocation for bounty. DeFi is interesting, and I keep my signature. Oikos paid every airdrop participants. No issue until now.

Don't know about this project,,
I think if the bounty extended doesnt  mean this project is a scam project
But if you think this is a scam project, just leave the project now buddy

extending the duration of the bounty has nothing to do with carrying away investors' money lol, bounties only help promote the project so many people know. so if they want to expand the promotion must add to the duration of the bounty. but this is fair enough because they also increase allocations

yes, they have the right to extend but forcing participants and threatening them that their stakes will be forfeited is a huge red flag.

Well, that's not certain yet and it is quite common around here seeing project postponing bounty campaign, i'd say they probably need more of the marketing bounty campaign can bring to the projects, in as much as people often says that bounty dosen't bring investors no more, the solid fact about bounty promotions still remains, it do increase awareness across the entire market. Let's give oikos some time, they seems well coordinated

that's true and at least if there was someone who wanna leave from this campaign after week 8 and the stakes that have earned by that person must be kept by the developers and managers.

This is the only main concern but they have been adding more OKS as payment for the campaign too.

It is a red flag for me I don't know how long they want to extend it, they should have announced before the start of the campaign that they want the campaign to run a total of 15 months or more, there is a possibility that they will keep extending it until bounty hunters lose the motivation and left so they will have no bounty to pay to those who choose to leave.

in my opinion, the project is not a scam, it is only handled by bad bounty managers, adding eight weeks I think is too long, should every extended bounty be made round so that the first to join the bounty still gets shares without having to lose stake because it is extended

I think they just extended the bounty campaign time and they raised the pool for all the bounty hunters to be more excited to join. In my opinion, there will be no problems because this project is still one of the good projects and you will definitely make a big profit from this project. Also, they have successfully sold IEO so certainly will not disappoint you so do not worry.

I think this project will still continue and will not take investor money, this is what I know but we will see progress in the future but this project looks good as I know and their IEO on Hoo Exchange is quite successful.
Maybe just want to extend the promotion period for prizes.

The team was also creating a useful product and the liquidity is still increasing a lot from time to the time. It has no chance for oikos to be another scam project as the crowdsale is also successful and it will be traded asap. OP was doing a very wrong thing by created this non sense accusation

extending bounty campaign doesn't mean its be scam project. previous campaign also extend their duration till two round or even more. and it should not be problem for us, except in other factors they show a sign. bad bounty manager should not used to generalize project quality, its not fair. moreover IEO in HOO exchange completed , maybe they need more branding to their project to make it success.

If it's like that, then it's better to stop join their Bounty, I have experienced same thing, in MobileGo project, they continued to extend their campaign period, Until now Bounty participants did not get their rewards. So looking at projects that have experienced similar things then it's better to stop join their Bounty.

maybe some previous project scamm us when they extend their bounty periode, like mobile go project or many other. just back again to our own decision , if in our analisys it will be scam project just leave it otherwise continue when our feeling its project will be great . when another hunter leave it , its be our opportunity to earn more coin from our stake.

I think you have some confusion about the Mobilego project, their bounty campaign ended on time and paid the bounty hunters in full. The spreadsheet has been deleted now but at the time no one complained about it. Mobilego mobilized good about $53M but this is a failed project, their team has a problem and the price disappoint many investors. Regarding Oikos project, it is temporarily impossible to conclude correctly.

Thats the thing about campaign. The team has discretion to change any event depends on their decision. I believe it was always noted on bounty ann thread of every project. I checked the project and it looks like a good one, with success IEO and will have market trading soon. There is no problem extending this, the only thing that is not is holding payment for them in the long run, but probably they will not do it unless they wanted to be known as scam project.

There could be other reasons as to why the team chose to extend the bounty. I guess the tokensale is still ongoing and the service of bounty hunters are needed. The issue of extending duration of bounty is more like a norm, because things don't always go according to the plan for the team.

Token sales were completed a week ago, and the bounty should have ended yesterday but the bounty manager chose to extend it. This is the second extension.
I thought why didn't they make a new round instead of extending? That will make everyone happy. Right?

Have they threatened bounty hunters already? Can you give a link to a post where they said they will remove stakes if a hunter refuses to continue promoting.

Original bounty period had increased from 4 weeks to 16. That is a lot. I remember they had a discussion about continuing bounty for more 4 weeks. And now they quickly decided to add more 8 weeks. Seems suspicious.

The rationale behind a hunter wanting to leave a particular campaign is not just because they are tired of posting, it's usually because they saw a new bounty which they would want to participate in but the continuous extension of the present bounty is preventing them from doing so,

What is the point of preventing hunters from leaving! At most any hunter who had already done 4 weeks campaign with them can be assured they can leave with their stakes reserved, if their is no interior motives, I don't see why they insist to keep hunters against their will.

They must understand that many bounty hunters do not like a very long campaign period especially those in the signature, they joined the campaign because they thought it will only last 4 months but now 16 months and if you leave no stakes , imagine from 4 weeks to 16 weeks, they must respect bounty hunters now many cast suspicion on their campaign, I have this feeling that they do not want to give bounty hunters their rewards.

Honestly this accusation would have make sense if the bounty project was extended without adding more tokens to the pool but from 600k tokens the bounty manager added another 400k tokens, what more do you want?? This is fair enough

maybe its developers team strategy to make their popular in crypto community, if we compared to another bounty campaign there are lot campaign which is held for more than 12 weeks. so this extention doesn't be problem for us as long as bounty manager still manage it well. maybe this is strategy to postponed distribution by adding bounty allocation as compensation so its price not dumped now.

Oikos Project won't sold out on a new exchange like hoo exchange if the project is scam, it's DeFi project and people knew how good they are, I never expected a quick sold out from hoo exchange, it's better to keep promoting, i think it will worth all the wait in the end

Agree, it is fair enough for everyone involved. But I think he is feeling cheated because the project is constantly extending bounty time. Personally I also don't like projects like this

There are things to consider with Oikos Project

1. The bounty is managed by the team themselves, telling them that signature can be removed after few months might not sound good to them

2. It's another DeFi project and they raise funds easily, doesn't that ring a bell to you? I haven't seen a bad DeFi project so far, investors have interest in them.

3. Bounty Manager did his best by adding more tokens to the allocation, what if they don't do that??

This is a good project, and if they expand the bounty, this is an opportunity for new people to join and receive tokens. I'm glad they added the budget and made it fit. I've seen a lot of bounty expand campaign time before but they keep the budget, it's an unfair

The bounty have been extended twice now, this will surely makes some bounty hunters get angry, sometimes it's really unfair and time wasting if I have to judge with past bounties experience, some will end up not paying, the choice is yours OP, if you think it's not safe to continue then leave

Yes, if the bounty is extended for reasons that sales have not been maximized, then the amount of the allocation is worth adding, if the team does not make additional allocations, the bounty hunters will obviously lose in terms of time.

If they don't like it, they can leave the campaign. I believe their work will be recorded and they will still receive tokens for previous jobs. Expanding the campaign will make bounty hunters angry, but that is one of their marketing strategies and we will have to accept it.

Since they've raised enough money through IEO on hoo exchange they should have exit scam right now, but I guess not because the project looks legit enough for me, I plan to join their social campaigns and I'm glad they extend the deadline to 8 weeks later, you have nothing to worry about, the project is good enough

This is a Defi project so it will certainly grow well in the future. Please support and get a reward in the future. Also I hope this is the last time they will expand this campaign

True! As a bounty hunter, we can ask for anything more except getting paid by our works. Every team has its own plan and expanding its project is one of them. We can't ask them not to do so because that's the way they develop! As a bounty hunter, if you feel a project isn't safe, just leave and move on! Don't waste your time! Every person has to be responsible for their action!

You will end up regretting your decision if you leave, it's pretty hard to come by projects like Oikos Project, it's the first DeFi bounty campaign this year and they've raised enough money for development, better support

cannot be said to be a scam or bad project.
maybe they still need help to promote or are still looking for funds for their project or maybe they have certain unknown reasons.

Mint OKS with your TRX worth 0.03USD means good but without OKS market, its going to be considered scam already. I tested minting 10TRX and it seems to be working but then there should have been an option to switch back as well.  Can't say its a scam but bounty manager is the worse. Worse than cannabanana of ARK project  ;D

If it's true that bounty manager already add more tokens to bounty allocation then it's good enough but bounty manager should have let signature campaign participants leave if they want to, others will join for sure.

For the fact that the project is DeFi makes me feel like it will be profitable for bounty hunters that participate in the campaign, that's if they end up paying though but on the long run I'm not so sure if the project will continue development and become successful like COMP DeFi project, too early to tell

There are lots of bounty that extend the campaign time and eventually they still succeed in this market. It is too early to draw conclusions about this project and bounty, maybe we should wait another 8 weeks for more results.

Many bounty campaigns was extended in the past and they became successful, some became scam, that's the risk that bounty hunters must take, if I were you I will continue promoting the project, right now promising bounty campaigns are scarce and oikos looks very nice, it might worth all the wait, just have patience

They already raised funds but still extending their bounty? it seems shady. Well bounty extension sometimes are necessary for their part to spread awareness however its not good for hunters side because they are hoping to get their rewards soon but if the campaign keep on extending hunters cant leave or else they will lose their stakes. If you can bear the rules of the project then continue to do your part however if you see an indication that it will turn to another scam then its time to move on and quit.

Maybe they are aiming for maximum exposure to get noticed by reputable exchanges for easy listing, bounty extension is also good for hunters as long as the project is successful and has a guaranteed exchange listing.

they will lose hunters with stakes and they will lose attention + trust among old users
If they want to keep on working in this crypto market they have to avoid looking like a scam project at all costs

Bounty Hunters aren't investors, extending bounty campaign duration can't ruin the project reputations, the rules on the bounty campaign thread says rules can be changed at any time and the team dropped another 400,000 OKS tokens, how is this not good enough?

no one knows for sure about the end of the Oikos project, but judging from the activity of the bounty and the Oikos project site is not a scam, you don't need to panic if there is an additional duration of time because there are many bounty projects like that.

There was no indication from oikos to be a scam project. The team has the right to extend the campaign as long as they were adding more reward to the participants.

Investors are still also actively asking the developer in telegram group too.

I thought it's all about quality bounty projects, for how long they take with promotion is their call, why complaining about this? The project team even satisfied everyone with new large quantities of tokens, I don't know what next you can expect from them

I’ve asked admin in bounty telegram group, he did not say anything about loosing stakes if leaves campaign after week 8 (after extension). Plus they did not promise to distribute reward immediately - so adding more weeks to bounty period is a bad indicator, but no one has died because of that. And no one forces anyone to participate.

Neither it is still early to claim Oikos to be scam.

Maybe the OP was too panicked to draw conclusions like this that made many people believe that Oikos was still going on with the bounty at this time, the duration of the extension was normal at the bounty meaning the Oikos project wanted to continue promoting it.

Any new projects has the right to extend bounty time with or without increasing bounty allocation. As Oikos bounty group news, we don't know yet the proper time to finish this bounty when we have already added an extra 8 weeks. If you remove the signature, your oldest stake will forfeit. After entering this signature, you can't remove the signature. Oikos is getting a huge success.

Your claim is not good enough to make me change my mind about Oikos bounty campaign, I will patience see this through and see what happens, I'm kinda satisfied since the team add more to the max bounty allocation.

Thank you, all this might for investors sake, I sense that hoo exchange won't be the last exchange for IEO, there will be more fundraising, so the best thing the team can do is to extend the bounty campaign duration, this is so normal

Btw, the team just wrote, that they will distribute first round (I guess first 4 weeks) to prove they are serious and value hunters work. Proof https://t.me/oikosbounty/4395

thanks for the information...
I am following their campaign program too, and I am optimistic that they are paying the participant's hard work fairly, I will wait for further news from them in the telegram.

This is the best that they can do right now. When you think about the bounty campaign, they distribute at the end only 1 million tokens - approximately
30 000USD, what is not a big amount of money, right? I doubt, that they will lose their credibility for these few tokens  ;) 8).

I feel like the team just merely wanted to flex their muscles and power, Remember that for every bounty that you join, it is usually stated that changes can be done during and at the end of the bounty.

This was the card that the oikos team tried to play, The law has been subsided, and the team has agreed to pay for round 1, while round 2 proceeds.
You have done well bringing this to the forum.

Upon checking their telegram group now, there are people asking about their IEO, but all the admin is saying is "Stay tuned for updates regarding IEO." So basically it is not done yet or maybe they didn't get what target sale they wish for. I am seeing that they will launch another round of  IEO to raise more funds. I know they are saying IEO on Hoo is sold out, but that is not a new trick by projects, I have encountered projects like that a lot before, they are saying that they reach hardcap to spread hype but the truth is they didn't raise a decent amount. About the project itself, it is not unique there is nothing new about it. Extending bounty it means they need more promotion and exposure to attract investors.

If that so then I can file a case to get my stakes because I worked for 6 weeks straight in their bounty, and they should take away the disqualified note in my account name, I just knew that they are going to extend it based on what I am reading in their telegram, this campaign could go on for a year the devs are all greedy they ignore their bounty hunter's effort.

I gave up on bounties because of ill payments, changing rules, locking token for almost a year, at the end your untouchable token on spreadsheet turn from $500 to $5 after waiting for a year to receive your reward. The same happened to Dexa coin now listed on Probit, an extra 2 Months was added for more campaigns but no extra pools, what nonsense, distribution was said to distribute in batches to avoid dump of token. My $98 on spreasheet turned $3. I could conclude that altcoin project teams remains the same people. Be careful with new project.

Oikos is a very successful project, and it is far from being called scam.  This is not the first time bounties are being extended and hunters been paid eventually.  The team may have some decisions to benefit both the hunters and the project.  We should also try and consider the long term development of the project rather than the immediate gain.  I am very sure the team is tirelessly working to reward the efforts of the hunters.

if it has become a rule of the bounty manager then there is nothing the participant can do and hopefully this is not a trick the bounty manager / team does not want to pay participants, because some campaigns like this will make it more difficult for participants to get rewards like implementing KYC at the end of the campaign

Thread starter didn't understand what he was talking about and this is not a scam project but oikos was a trusted project. it has even developed some products at the same time. OP you should take a direct conversation to the managers rather than blindly accusing a good project. what's wrong with you

We can just put them into guilty or accused them as a scam project because of their 4 weeks extension unless they are proven to scam people aside from to disappoint participants of the said extension. Besides, this extension won't really matter as long as they promise the rewards and distributed it as what they state in their rules.

Anyway, we have much more to dig about this Oikos and once it has proven guilty as a scam, then we have let them suffered the consequences. But for now, let the community decide and find evidence for this.

extending bounties doesn't mean they are scams or want to steal investors' money, there may be other reasons, there are some bounty projects that extend their duration but they still pay, so it's better to follow the rules set by the project team, hopefully what you accuse is not true

So many legit bounties were also doing it in the past and in my experience if oikos is a good project and I have used its decentralized exchange site that built on tron network and everything is fine. Im not getting any problem right now.

It looks like the manager has already taken a new decision regarding this problem and this problem already solved.

It is still too early to tell if they are scam or not. Need to wait for them to finish bounty and to the distribution stage, if they postpone distribution or reject it then they are scam projects. They expanded the campaign but besides that they also expanded the budget and it was good enough for everyone

They should pay the bounty hunters first for their participation in the previous campaigns and then should announce the next stage of the campaign, this seems somewhat sketchy to me as if they would have paid the bounty hunters before the new announcement then they would have gained more trust from the community and then more people would have promoted their project, but as others said it is too early to judge them because they are extending the project duration also there are no red flags other than this, time will tell whether they are legit or not.

They already promised to distribute first 8 weeks rewards. Now they are doing final calculations (as to spreadsheet - it is not filled till the end).

It is funny for extension bounty campaign for 8 weeks people claim project to be scam. But waiting for half a year minimum for distribution or listing is not scam  ;D double standards

The issue have been resolved, right now the team planned to distribute the first round of the campaign which has already ended, the second round of the campaign will start in a week time, the project is looking good enough

Pardon Oikos bounty manager, he is new in crypto space that's sure, he though once he allowed signature campaign participants to leave no other bounty hunters will join, he is definitely new, I'm glad the issue is resolved now

Oikos is far from being a scam project, though not that big as other DeFi projects, it has small team but I guess that's enough to bring out a project's potential, I used their swap service and it works fine, the first on Tron network so far and that's big

I've checked the spreadsheet and surprised to see that the note disqualified is not there anymore, I think they corrected everything now, glad that they did and would like to say sorry for the mean words I posted, I wish them success, hope this thread will be close now, now they are going to settle it.

I don't think it's a scam project The project has successfully raised money. I have seen many projects that run their bounty program. They run because their project is mostly popular. I don't think there is anything in this project that is a scam. It's not such a big deal that Bounty was four weeks old and she extended it to eight weeks.

It is too early to evaluate this project, we need to see it work in the next few months. There are many projects that become scam after a few months of operation and do not make distribution bounty

cannot be called a scam because the evidence is unclear, I saw them delaying the Round 2 bounty and decided to distribute round 1 first, at least that's what they said in their telegram.
suspicion will always exist for all new projects that will be released or indeed during this phase some projects are accused of being a scam if it looks to buy time, even though maybe there is still something that is needed.

if we judge bounty campaign or project be scamm just due its extending duration i think its too naive for us. there is another important than just it. i know previous many campaign did it when they be scame, but we have analize another thing. moreover oikos already traded in exchange.

I don't see yet any scam effact. Even project still alive with well successful IEO. Here is announced about exchange and trading with deposit withdrawal confirmation date.

They are a Defi project and are growing well, so I will believe that they will certainly succeed in the future. And for bounty, they expanded it to make more people aware of the project and besides they are still expanding the budget, it's a great and bounty hunter will surely be satisfied with it.

they extend the bounty campaign and add tokens to the bounty pool, so I believe that the extension of this campaign will be successful for those who earn coins in this bounty campaign. the project looks very good

You are one of the participants and you don't know about the update. Oikos didn't want to extend it, they chose to make a new round that would open soon.

I would like to congratulate Oikos team and the bounty hunters for coming up with the best solution, they have set themselves apart from those bounty campaigns who are too hard to the bounty hunters, they have shown that they can be trusted, good luck to the project, I'm pretty sure it will generate trust because of this action.

Finally oikos team proved that they aren't like other projects in crypto space, I'm happy they change their ways fast, things would have been bad but the team cares about what people will say about them, this is yet another DeFi project with serious team, I wish them all the best

arent they the same ? extend and new round ( ex. round 2 , 3 , 4 and so on ) so the guy just say extend instead of saying a new round   .

 they extend because their previous rounds were already succesful and its normal that they will add more tokens to the pool to pay for the new round or to the new participants if ever there are new entrants on the campaign   . nice to see a campaign that still became succesful despite of our bad situation and bad views that bounties got

Yeh you're right, they want run bounty round 2 (in a week). Other think oikos already listed one exchange hbtc, i wanna share link below.

What makes you so sure about Oikos project, what actions do they take so make you confident about this project? I see, often projects that extend the Bounty period will end  with scam, moreover they add a lot of extra weeks.

Is that the real Oikos? I have never heard of the exchange before, but the price is very good there, exceeding the IEO price of $ 0.025 and I see the volume is also quite good.

If you still believe in the bounty campaign, then this project is very difficult to find a project that is good and profitable for all parties.

Is it possible that a participant in the Oikos project did not know about the extension? because it would be very funny if he did not know about it, even though he himself was a participant in the project. ;D

If we examine in general, the extension of duration with the opening of the second round is slightly different, because both must use a new time for the project campaign.

It's too early to call it a scam, as far as I know, they did not just extend for another couple of weeks just because they want to or to keep the money for themselves but they are planning to have a new round that can help the project to grow more.

I hope you're right cause they have postponed the bounty campaign long enough to make bounty hunters and investors worry. We're in a difficult time since the market is recovering slowly after being affected by the global pandemic. Everyone is in a rush of earning money to not fall in the hole with debts. Therefore, we can't be calm when events like this happened!

I was shocked when I saw this thread. I knew that oikos is running smoothly until now. I am just late with their bounty campaign but I believe it will become successful. We should not make fud so that other users will become terrified to join. Another thing, it is widely know here that bounties are not good until now. But who knows? Even, the impossible mission like going to the moon did by human.

Finally, they don't add extra weeks up to 8 weeks, but they will only make Bounty round 2 with Bounty period only a week, if I'm not mistaken. And for Bounty Signature Campaign participants, they can remove the signature code now, check on their Bounty Telegram channel.

That's true, but as long as you can see them giving updates, I think there is nothing to worry about. Especially if they are really open like spreading the news about the project immediately to inform everyone of what is going on with the project.

I want to believe bounty participants of the Oikos project will now know that it is far from being a scam project.  From the update, the team has yielded to the demand of the hunters to distribute the tokens before the commencement of the second round of the bounty.  I know the project has team members with listening hears.  Are you thinking probably I was paid to do this?  Don't mind me, I wasn't paid at all, I just love the concept behind the project, that's all.

Yes it is but it's not officially partnered with OIKOS project as it's unofficial exchange site and that exchange site has listed oikos token on their own decision.
you should join into the telegram group to get the latest news about that too.

This projects seem like a good catch since it's new DeFi project, I believe it will appreciate in value fast but after coming across few tricks that the bounty manager want to pull on hunters I stopped, I'm glad they work things out, maybe I will give it a thought and eventually invest

You are contemplating the project you are promoting could be trying to scam, and you still wearing the signature, is this not demarketing and unpatriotic? Why not  unboard before demarketing them? Extending campaign is different from scam.

as well as the project that you are promoting. or the project that I'm promoting right now. all projects currently have the possibility and potential to be a scam. we only judge them for now as they are proceeding normally. although there is an extended duration of the campaign, I think it's only natural. but try to analyze other aspects related to the development of marketing projects.

that's true and OP is a lazy person who didn't even wanna try to read before trying to comment anything related to the project. It has been getting listed on exchange site and more to come.

The manager is very friendly to the hunters. The manager has been giving a lot of explanation regarding it. I have invested in oikos too and got nice profit.

Wow, they have heard the voice of the community and paused a campaign until further notice. But they will distribute rewards to bounty participants that participated in round 1 and 2. That makes this project completely trustworthy and transparent.
It would be nice to see more bounty campaigns that respect its community :).

good idea, if Oikos is still going well this thread doesn't need to be continued. it should be stopped right now, i'm afraid there will be a new problem for the project if it isn't stopped.

if the development team has found a solution to their problem, it would be very unfortunate if people still think badly of Oikos just because of this thread.

actually it can't be called if oikos is a scam project because I see the makers of this thread don't have some hard evidence oikos as a scam project
my advice is better to look for more information and don't believe right away

Great, they really care about this community. I believe this will be a big project in the future and we should consider investing in them, but this topic will probably come to an end.

I don't think that Oikos is a scam, OP you should have directed your complaint to the bounty manager, and I'm sure he's best to give you a cognitive answer to it regarding this. If you feel it's a scam project I believe that you would have removed your signature. If Oikos scam despite the money they have made, that is going to be scam of the Quater
