Bitcoin Forum

Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects. They themselves build a website, run bounty here and scam investors money while promoters receive nothing. Kakatua is one of examples. So, it is always better to only participate in campaigns which is managed by reputed campaign managers like Yahoo, Hhampuz. Remember, it is better to join one campaign a year than hundreds in a month.

Kakatua is a complete scammer and I'm glad he got what he deserved, he intentionally build projects himself and still becomes the bounty manager for the project to fool bounty hunters and also all his projects are complete nonsense. But how about new bounty managers? They won't have a chance if no one join their Campaigns don't you think?

How about in the altcoin section? Whose manager you trusted for an altcoin campaign. Of course those managers you mentioned are in btc paid campaign, and some here prefer an altcoin campaign projects cause mostly what they handled are only signature campaign. Unlike in altcoin there are social and also some blog related promotions.

I think the best one is bubblealex, arteezy and bounty detective, especially the last cause he has too many projects active.

New bounty managers can't be perfect instantly, they have to conduct few Campaigns and mistakes will happen, remember that many well recognized bounty managers are already out of business today, few ones don't even introduce any project this year at all

There is still big difference between bubbalex and arteezy, the way they do research on projects are big enough and it shows that bubbalex is just better, last year arteezy introduce few scam projects and till date the projects are dead without bounty hunters getting their rewards, I'd choose bubbalex over arteezy any time any day

Arteezy is still a reliable bounty manager, don't expect them to be perfect, they can introduce scam projects but believe me when I say that even bubbalex can introduce scam projects too, I get it that bubbalex is more careful when it comes to choosing projects but mistake can be made

True, old bounty managers can get out of business while new bounty managers will be there to take over, we have to get new bounty managers their chance and also correct them when they make mistakes, I did correct two bounty managers in 2019, I can't recollect their names again and they listened

It's good but some does not have an option as the two campaign managers you stated are not so active with handling bounty campaigns, and we know that we have thousands of bounty campaigners in the forum. Not sure the reason, maybe they are busy with other projects or they don't find a good projects to promote yet.  I think there are still good bounty managers in the forum but we really can't deny the fact that IEO and ICO are not so progressive now, thus it only create a little opportunity for a big number of campaigners, so it would not give a pleasant result.

What you have said is true. But it's also bad for the bounty hunters that are still believing with bounty hunting, the best years of it has already been done. Although with good bounty managers, they'll get a sort of assurance and they will be taken care of.

They have to realize that there should be an initiative from them to have standards upon choosing a bounty. As we see, many of them just join randomly without realizing or analyzing if the bounty is good or bad.

The last time I joined arteezy bounties like IAT and Xcard nothing turn out well for these two projects and yes bubbalex is better but ask yourself when was the last time bubbalex brings in another bounty campaign? The last one was Cartesi which was successful, I won't like waiting around for popular bounty managers to bring new bounties, they might never bring anything

They have to grow themselves bigger before starting managing campaign. They have to gain reputation and good standing on forum. Otherwise, any new campaign manager with no good standing on forum should be a big no to participate because scammers themselves creating ICO, managing bounties. If hunters follow this strategy, they will be benefitted and investors will also not be scammed anymore.
I have not seen a new campaign managers project to be a good one till now.

This year bounty detective is taking over, starting with hex bounty which brings impressive rewards for bounty hunters this year, bounty detective are still small but they are actually getting better, thanks to them bounty hunting aren't that boring this year 2020

I think the approach we should make is give priority for bounties in this order
1. Projects that pays in tradeable currencies and paid weekly.
2. Ditto but paid at the end of the campaign and the reward escrowed by third party.
3. Ditto but no escrow.
4. Projects that pays in tokens and the reward escrowed by third party.
5. Projects that pays in tokens and no escrow.

The only one thing that bounty detective did right is payment guarantee, I believe this bounty manager was paid tokens even before the bounty Campaign starts, I'm more confidence with this bounty manager than any other right now especially this year

Still you might be wrong, I join a bounty campaign in 2018 that was managed by a bounty manager who was a Jr member at the time and I made 2000$ from that bounty, even stake rewards was given correctly, new or old won't guarantee how good the bounty project will be

Im just saying whose managers are still okay for altcoin with regards to performance Im not talking about who is better. Maybe you are right, bubblealex is much better, I did not say anything about this matter but only mentioned who are still okay.  Arteezy still have some good handled projects in the past. So still okay, even his latest short one is good hybrix. So dont easily compared their indifferences.

those bounty manager really have good reputation while managing campaign, and mostly their campaign using bitcoin so no one will scammed on their campaign. joining in unreputed manager make us like make speculation in our work, will this be legit project or maybe scamm again. analize every campaign well so we will decrease scam possibility.

Dude, mostly campaign that being managed by yahoo or Hhampuz were bitcoin campaign but it's better if you are adding some related in the altcoin campaign management service like murat or others.

kakatua is such an example for the scam manager who has been offering the scam service to create scam bounty.

I'm against this advice OP, if we can ask questions from reputable bounty managers in this space they will definitely tell you their past experiences with the first bounty projects they managed, you can't expect bounty managers to be pro on first day

Even to this day reputable bounty managers still use the word ' not perfect', they still warn bounty hunters to do their own research, bubbalex did this from time to time, stating that anything can happen that he isn't perfect, remember that even if projects don't turn scam they can still fail

You are right, bounty managers with good reputations hardly introduce scam projects, there is different between a failed project and a project that turned scam, few projects from arteezy that failed to pay till date aren't scam but failed due to lack of enough fund. Popular bounty managers are better

But this is totally wrong. Quantity doesnt mean quality. Bounty detective still have lots of issues with feeling spreadsheets. Proof - check any campaign Complaint Form and see that some issues are not solved for weeks. While, for example, bubbalex solves everything in 1-2 days.

Question to Little Mouse - how can a manager get reputation, when no one participates in his bounty? :)
Or you think that BM should get a reputation on the forum (trust system?) and only then manage campaign? Agree with it.

Good point, every bounty managers works gradually to achieve good reputation, it's not always easy and it's not something you can built without been a bounty manager, bounty detective still have some work to do, mistakes to fix, payments are guaranteed and that's the only good thing they did well, bubbalex can't be compared with bounty detective but with time they will get better

Indeed, many bounty managers are associated with fraudsters and specifically create bounty companies here so that we promote their fictitious companies and they make money from it, so we should always study all the bounty companies in which we want to participate and of course we need to pay attention to the bounty managers too.

They should be active in the forum, know forum basics, established themselves as a good reputed or well recognised member in the forum the way Yahoo, Hhampuz and some others did and after that they should start campaign management. Although, I have started earlier but I had not launched any altcoin bounty till now, one of the reasons is that all the bounty management jobs I got were either scam or not so impressive which is why I have denied the proposal.

Since you mentioned Yahoo and Hhampuz then this post doesn't belong in this section, these two bounty managers are known for introducing only BTC paying campaigns, this is altcoin section, how about mentioning some well known altcoin bounty managers since you create this topic in altcoin section??

I can name few bounty campaigns that I joined this year and last year that are manages by the project's team members themselves? What's your take on this? It's not always about the reputation of bounty managers, quality of the projects are important too

Bounty manager themselves can't guarantee the success of a bounty campaign but they can make it much secure for the participants. There are now a few bounty managers in the altcoin bounty section who would ask the project to escrow the funds with them and they'll be responsible to distribute the coins after the campaign. It does provide some sense of security to the participants but still don't add up any chances of reducing the scam as a good project would pay anyway while a bad one even if they paid with tokens would be useless.

This is exactly what happen to the kingcasino bounty. The bounty managers did escrowed the funds in favor of the participants. All they wanted it was to make it secure for the participants but the project themselves claimed they failed to reach their target and plans to refund the investors. This way the effort made by the bounty participants went in vain and bounty managers too failed to reward their users as the coins they hold, holds no value. A successful bounty depends on the effort of a lot of people not just bounty manager.

You might be right that kingcasino bounty manager only focus on paying bounty hunters with escrow strategy but this is something that's rare in bounties today, most projects pay bounty hunters themselves not BM but bounty detective is better in this part

I totally agree with you, just participating in the best campaigns from reputable managers is enough. Do not waste time with ambiguous campaigns and managed by new people

This is actually a risk to a lot of users here in the forum. Everybody is excited to join bounties with easy campaign instructions and big rewards but we need to do our part to verify if the campaign is actually legitimate and would really be fruitful at the end. We need to be mindful of new campaign managers because some might be starting their career by managing bounties and some are just actually trolling and scamming other users. That is why some posts are really helpful and interactive campaign managers are really helpful because of the fact that they dont want to have their credibility damaged.

There will always be an exception, having a new bounty manager in a campaign doesn't necessarily show a red flag. There are some campaigns that have a new campaign manager that had been honest with their job. However, we cannot remove the risk of having a new manager who has an ulterior motive on scamming participants. Joining trusted campaign managers put participants at ease and lessens the risk of not receiving a reward in a campaign.

Just choose and join campaigns at your own risk, and never join out of FOMO and just because it is managed by a certain manager.

I remembered BD have many failed projects when they started, but now seem like they have many good projects for hunters. Arteezy was most active last year, but seem like quite recently. So this time we see almost bounties in altcoins section come from BD  ;D
In my opinion some other projects they run the bounty program themselves,so if it is okay, we can take a look.

Sometimes they still manage the campaigns of new projects if they are good projects. I still remember the TEMTUM campaign that hhampz managed, which was the most successful campaign in 2019 and helped many people get the money.

Except the newbie and Jr members, I believe old members know this but many bounty hunters take the risk to participate in bounty that are managed by any bounty managers including the one handled by the dev team themselves. This is because those reputable managers you mentioned are less given bounty to managed probably due to their requirements but more safer to join their campaign than random bounty managers

Bounty has a lot of risks, so no one can guarantee the success of bounty and the project. It all depends on the luck of each person and if you have experience and luck then I believe you will find good campaigns and make money from it.

I am not sure about Hhampuz, but yahoo62278 has managed several altcoin campaigns in the past. When I participated in the MOZO bounty campaign, he was the campaign manager. And I should say that he did an exceptional job with that bounty. I don't know whether he do altcoin bounties anymore, but it is wrong to say that we should not talk about him here in this thread.

Sometimes a reputed manager is an indication of a good campaign but not all, thats why we need to do our part as a bounty hunter by conducting a research so we have our own understanding about the project. Its an edge to participate only in bounties with a reputed manager but its not an assurance so we need to manage our expectation.

I admire these bounty hunters but the bounty campaign seldom hires our forum's trusted managers they prefer that their own bounty campaign is managed by one of their team, among bounty manager in the altcoins campaign only Bubbalex has a good rating, the campaign manager Bounty Detective was fooled by one project who turned to be a scam project which is King Casino.

Now there are very few good bounty campaigns available for everyone here, and this year I made very little money, and I was disappointed about what's going on. I think being fortunate dependencies is very important when participating in bounty campaigns because we cannot predict anything happening, and the projects I miss often bring more money.

I think not only you. some projects with BTC payments also seem to be declining and many are stopping. some projects that are already listed on the exchange also pay by allocating very little for the campaign. but that doesn't matter. because it doesn't happen to you or me. almost all of them also feel that.

Detective has too many projects going on and his team is struggling to keep up with the updates sometimes they are a week behind in updating the list but overall they have done a good job in handling most of their projects.

Because we are in the most difficult phase of the market, Pandemic has greatly affected the plans of projects and they need to save money to be able to keep the project running well. That is why in 2020 we have too few good bounty

They always check the bounty and the project before managing it. That is why we see their bounty always listed at the exchange

I completely agree with you. Now many bounty managers have shown their professionalism and now we can clearly see who works and who defends their community. Unfortunately, many bounty managers turned out to be scammers, which further undermined confidence in the bounty companies. I am also now studying the proposed bounty companies in great detail, and almost everything I pass by. Only a few deserve attention. I did not think before that bounty managers themselves could create fraudulent companies. But now I have become smarter and all this thanks to the practice and the Bitcointalk forum.

Running bounties, fake projects is money-making for them. It less likely reputable CM never accepts their offer as this could only ruin their reputation and trust of the community. The two CM that you have mentioned is clear to see that they understand what is the role of being a manager, not only they are looking for money but also they are protecting the whole community for not being ruin by these foolish developers who only think about their own.

I still believe that there are a lot of good CM managers around but it sometimes gets into the moment of committing mistakes. But nothing to judge them and accused of being a scammer as they are also human and they can be also deceived by huge offerings and broken promises.

I know about this manager too but it looks like the detective must try keep or increase the capability for its management to review the new project or at least try to do double audit for sure.
KCT can be a good lesson if they need to do that even better

You cannot blame the bounty hunter neither calling them fool, they had trusted him to an extent that is why they keep doing his bounty then, I'm sure that they might have learned the hard way, lots of scam projects out there, someone just needs to do due deligence before involving in them

The question is how many good bounties survive to this day? I can only see Gowithmi and few others, most new bounties are build on hype, something like money making machine and right after targets are met the project will slowly fade away, as bounty hunter I don't care much about bounties than promote the good few ones no matter who the bounty manager may be.

I think in sincere mind, Julerz should be added to this list . Julerz from beginning has been very reputable both handling signature and bounty. He has been one of the best and experienced in altcoins. He has gone ahead to escrow bounty rewards, in his own control. So whatever happens later in the bounty, hunters in the bounty would get their labour distributed to them.

Yes. Aside from Yahoo and Hhampuz, i believe there are still reputable bounty managers out there but maybe they have not chosen yet good campaigns to manage that won't ruin their reputation. With a lot of bounty campaigns that come out today, it's better to research first the background of the project and the team behind it so we can avoid ending up in scammed projects.

Yahoo, Hhampuz are really the best bonus managers at the moment, he always knows how to choose a project to take over. Most of Yahoo's projects, Hhampuz provide very good income for bounty hunters.

if this is related to the prize manager then I think like Yahoo manager, Hhampuz is a well-known manager and only manages the Bounty project that is really good or worth following. on the other hand we also don't have to always depend on the gift manager, on the one hand it depends on the project you are taking part in too, and don't forget to do the research first.

Yes it's a right news Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects. Every non reputed  bounty manager are not bad but I think every time need participate in campaigns which is managed by reputed campaign managers. But sometimes non reputed bounty manager working good project.

Why not? I'll try some bounties which be operated by project itself. We have had many successful projects in the past such as AUTO, Eidoo or many others. I think the most important thing is that the quality of the project, BM is just an additional factor if you want to consider.

Somehow I agree with you, it is very important to see what the project is, the project team is real or not. What is the use of the project.etc
I think after checking these things, the Scam Bounty can be detected. If you cannot do this, then you join the bounty of reputable BM

Every reputed campaign manager might be a random member when they began their managing career so we can't simply saying simply avoid campaign if they are new to the campaign management.But now we have better system like trust and merit on bitcointalk which might give an idea about the user who just begin their campaign career are how much contributed to the forum and trusted when it comes to handling money.

I'd say this is true if you are Yahoo or Hhampuz himself, but coming from a mere member on this forum? I will definitely say you have no idea, I'm sure Yahoo and Hhampuz make mistakes too, no one is perfect and as good as this bounty managers are today was based on how many mistakes they made in the past, they can't be this good without mistakes

It's not fair to avoid bounties from new bounty managers, that's not a good way to encourage new bounty managers, if they make stupid it's normal to correct them, I don't see how this is bad, please let's encourage bounty hunters to join projects from new bounty managers, it depends on projects quality

If they promoted the project even when its obviously a scam project, it will only look like the bounty manager conspire together wit the team. I have joined several bounty campaigns in the past where I wasn't paid too. A learned lesson that I have to read the project to make sure the team had thought it through. And it's possible for the project to succeed, it not then its going to be a scam project.

Take a look at the project's website and see if they too load of money to come up with it and does it have good technical details and github because it tells signs of a scam.

Most of the btc paying campaigns here are legit. And if it is handled by those mentioned BMs, you know for sure you are safe. Sometimes they will pay their participants from their own pocket, if something goes wrong. But if you visit the alt bounties, you have very small chance you will be paid by valuable token. Because even if you get paid by their tokens, you have no guarantee that they will be worth trading for, if in case they will be listed in exchanges. So yes, it is better to join in a campaign handled by reputable BM. While waiting for the right time, you can roam around the forum and learn many things from all facets of crypto.

That dude Kakatua is a complete scammer, all campaigns managed by him had never paid hunters. The managers you mentioned are mostly btc signature paying ones, how about altcoin bounties. Reputable managers there are buballex, detective, julerz and sometimes the project manager too.
D Community project campaigns with there manager but was paid at end. Nice advise, it's better to participate in one campaign than thousand in a month.

success of marketing campaign and spending on it does not mean that the project is real and not a fraud.
much fraudulent projects were managed by well-known members and fraud was not identified until after it occurred.
promotion campaigns are not incicator for scam or not.
the length or shortness of the campaign depends on the quality of the posts and the price.

Op you said well. That is why reputed members don't get a project but a newly created account launch campaign in his first post. It's really a miracle. They will not stop. They don't care about their reputation also don't care about people's money. Actually They became addicted to stealing money. If you vanish the current project by tagging them they will come with other new projects and accounts :)

I think I have participated in kakatua managed bounty once, the horrible experience I had then even made me to forget that the name ever existed.  Kakatua creates bounties to scam and populate their social media.  In a couple of years, I have also had trust in some bounty managers who have handled real and good paying projects, even if some projects team fumbles, it's still very few compared to the list of successful projects they have handled.

The managers who just think about themselves and not for the bounty participants shouldn't become the mangers and also the managers that always want to scam other people for mere change are also untrustworthy and should be banned on the forum. I guess the people with a positive trust history should only be allowed to manage campaigns, either a bounty Campaign or bitcoins paying signature Campaign as it will lead to less number of people scamming and also spamming on the forum, also the quality of participants will also improve.

Sometimes reputed bounty managers do bring scam projects for bounty hunters to promote, it seems you don't know that scam projects have grades, some scam projects are hard to detect even if the team are real, there are many examples of this types of scam projects that looks so genuine and legit.

I agree it doesn't matter how many campaigns you join if they are scam you just wasted your time so why not join the trusted and legit campaigns.
Don't be blinded by greed and waste your effort on promoting scam if you couldn't find a good project then it is better not to join at all.
This is funny because Little Mouse is also a campaign manager so I think he/she knows it too well.

Difficult choice because since many cases new bounty managers have a bad reputation it might be difficult for new managers to build their reputation and lose out in competition with others. Well, the parrot is one of the scammers and cheaters who uses a lot of altcoin for their own interests and most of the projects he handles are also scams.

It's so true! Reputed or trusted bounty managers can't guarantee the quality of the project. They are just like us. They're hired to do the job. It's hard for them to know whether the project will be a scam or not until the end. Therefore, do more research than looking at the bounty managers name. I agree that joining a campaign that managed by a reputed bounty manager brings less risk than others. However, it's not totally safe! Take your chance!

Can you name some of them here for transparency ?so People might have idea which are those?and besides how sure safer with reputable manager when they are also accused of cheating in some manners here in forum?
Some of them has multiple account that Joining signature campaign?

But i think it will be safer if you can put the names here and provide some proof as well because the more we accused without proof is the more we are just letting them do their dirty jobs.
Nice example but i believe that Kakatua was been exposed twice right?but yeah This is something the whole forum must be aware of.
Yahoo and Hhampuz is no doubt the most respected and legit manager here,well of course BestChange as well like what we are joining Both.

i would chose to be with their campaign the whole career i have here.

This is why I tell some people at some threads to look at the usernames of the BM of a certain bounty thread as you can see if the BM is part of the project itself.
I'll never join in one of those campaigns being managed by someone directly from the project.

I believe there's a thread on the reputated campaign managers here in the forum aside from SMAS campaign managers, but is outdated. Hopefully someone recompiles them so people will stop feeding the promotion of these scam projects.

That's why any projects that have already listed on the exchange site have more chance to give a reliable payment for the hunters. I remember what happened with jinbi as the team was declining to pay the hunters after a very long time promotion.

BM plays important role if they could hold the bounty fund and acts as an escrow aswell other wise it's basically the same though some BM really good at selecting projects based on their perspective and the time they spent looking inside the project, although despite all of that the chance of a project not paying its promoter is still there, just follow your guts I guess.

Reputable bounty manager is important for the projects, and can contribute a lot! Of course, it's not necessary, new managers can build their name and reputation here on forum, but the majority of people will follow reputable managers. As some people said, manager is just one factor that should be considered when you are choosing bounty, but much more important is the project itself, idea behind the project, their team and road map, and all other things that make one new projects desirable in the eyes of investors and supporters.

I'm not and in fact I am not doing bounty lately as mot of the bounty end up to be just a failure.

I don't want to call them scam as I don't have an evidence to prove that, that's too legal that it will take time to investigate and we bounty hunters are not interested on that as our main purpose is just to earn when we work for the bounty campaign.

Reputed bounty managers ensures the project is legit, but they can't ensure if the project will succeed, that's the reason I pause a bit.

I understand your opinion man. I was having the exact same thinking as you when we are just focusing on those bounty managers that are highly-respected and with great reputation in this forum.

However, not all of them are perfect man. Like Bounty Detective’s case where he is one of the bounty managers that I truly respected, KingCasino ended up in an exit scam.

I would suggest that if these new bounty managers want to make a name of themselves, they should always include escrow to guarantee the payments to the hard-working bounty hunters.

Some of the bounty managers that I am looking up to right now here on Bitcointalk are Bounty Detective, arteezy.rtx and julerz. Just to name a few.

Why so many people admin that Bounty Detective are great and reputed ? I would say they are quite neutral or decent. The just manage lots of campaign, but I did not know any campaign under their management, that is successful. Or got listed on exchange. Can you name me one or two?

julerz - great manager, was a pleasure to be in campaign under his management (I've been in two campaigns and both of them distributed rewards).

arteezy.rtx - have no experience being in campaigns under his management.

Hunters do not have to be invited to join a new campaign project, because they have their own desires and have their own research in terms of seeing the project campaign, anyways inviting other people to participate in the project campaign also will not make us get a big profit on the project.

Even with the top bounty managers. scam projects take them for a fool. it's better you always choose campaigns you have high chances of getting paid. In my opinion, bounties aren't profitable any more

Agree with this, Ive also joined his campaign before and have no issue on either stake and distribution of rewards. His really good on campaign management.

Bounty detective group is just new though he already establish a big comunity but it does not mean they are reputable. They also have some scam projects but since the distribution has always been completed on majority of his campaign, I can say his quite okay and decent but trust is not comparable to those likes yahoo, hhampuz and other campaign managers.

Why do you say that bounty is no longer profitable? Have you done research on all of the current campaign projects? then why do you suggest to always choose a campaign that has a great opportunity to be paid? if I may know how many campaigns you have participated in this forum?

I agree that Yahoo and Hhampuz are 2 of the most reputable bounty campaign managers here in the forum but unfortunately, they aren't holding a bounty campaign which is paying altcoins.

Maybe the reason is that they don't want to be paid thru altcoins which doesn't have any value and it can turn up into a scam or there are some other reasons too. Either way when you will go to Bounties section, you will see some bounty managers out there which handled many bounty campaigns already. It can be your basis too. Another basis that you can use is the success rate of the projects they handled.

manager is not the main benchmark as a consideration whether the bounty will end up successful or not, but at least the manager's reputation is very important. because once a manager promotes a failed bounty, his reputation will go bad. whereas in my opinion, it's not one of the managers, but a bounty team. because here the manager only provides information about the bounty, and the bounty runs in accordance with the work of its developers. so, not 100% error from the manager.

I do think that bounty campaigns with highly reputed bounty campaign manager require very high standards from the participants and the slots in these bounties are filled very fast as well.

There is no problem join a campaign a year if you know that campaign will success and bring more profit than hundreds in a month.
Better be careful to choose bounty project check it before join.

Actually many reason regarding this matter as well as the legit campaign is difficult to find and some of them are not successfully done as task manager.Through this experience,people are discourage and besides this misfortune has been giving incur of depression to anyone .However,many of us are really thirsty to join whatever legit or not and we don't care about.I think people feel comfortable for being a part of this world for the future.

I can relate to this. Having been a participant in many bounty campaigns, I realized that there are bounty managers who can manage the campaign properly where the participants really receive their rewards. That is why right now I am very choosy with the bounty campaign I join. My decision is mostly influenced by the manager running the campaign.

I'm open to joining bounties from Jr member accounts to hero or legendary member accounts, I focus more on project quality, maybe it's just me? Most times the bounties I promoted are from the project team themselves, I have bad stories to share about bounties from reputable bounty managers, they aren't perfect, starting from wapinter and arteezy, not all bounty projects will pay and that's fine by me, bounties are risky and the risky part is what bounty hunters don't like, things can't keep working your ways every time

[Bounty]🔥Originate Coin🔥 1,000,000 ORC For Bounty Rewards🔥Listed On Vindax🔥 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260306.0)

As a bounty involving the "kakatua" bitcointalk account in this project, I see that they can gain their trust with the "kakatua" account, so this child continues to commit fraud by engaging in projects that they promote, I think almost all projects are promoted and in do by him plagiarism of his white paper.

[WARNING] ORIGINATECoin Plagiarized Whitepaper (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260683.0)

And this is one of the catches of $crypto$

Telling people not to join bounties from others than reputed bounty managers isn't a very good advice, do you know that new bounty managers can beat reputed bounty managers? We have to give new bounty managers some chances too, some are fast learners out there, they can do better but if they are robbed of their chances we will never know what we've missed.

How I wished all bounty hunters are managed by the likes of Hhampuz, Yahoo and Brainboss, we can be sure that it's going to be well managed and the project is well research ensuring it's potential, but dome managers are in house or part of the team so we have no control of their actions, once the bounty is over the job for that manager is also over.

Kakatua is just a very bad one, not all new bounty managers are like him, he is a complete cheat, we need more bounty managers in this space don't you think? All I can recognize this year so far are bounty detective and bubbalex, I'm not into BTC paying campaigns though so I can't talk much about Hhampuz and Yahoo

I know you are trying to safe bounty hunters from wasting time and energy of useless bounty projects but remember that the future of bounties lies with new bounty managers, look at bounty detective, they aren't perfect yet but they now guarantee bounty payments because team send them tokens for the bounty before the bounty campaign begins, how many bounty managers do this on this forum?

Hi OP you have a point but that's not always the case with Bounties, I've joined few bounties from well known bounty managers only to end up been disappointed in the end, I like the style that bounty detective team are using, taking control of bounty tokens right from the start is game changer for bounty hunters

Believe me a Bounty campaign cannot be judged by who handles the marketing but be judged by the project itself. For example when i joined hybrix, i didn't know the bm to be very popular amongst altcoins bm and it was a good project and i enrolled. Likewise for oikos project, a defi project, tron platform, good project but average bm, we cannot judge a book by its cover because of few bad bm

Not all reputable bounty managers do good research on bounties before taking the job, once the money is good enough and the project looks good that's all, the only bounty manager that takes his reputation damn serious is bubbalex, I don't know about many bounty managers yet but bubbalex has better past histories of successful bounties

The Bounty is managed by a good and trustworthy Hhampuz. But I see that this project, Hhampuz uses the payment of BTC and they also limit the account level and the number of participants. Even with a full member account, I often can't participate because of the full participant.

For me actually, before joining the Bounty project, we have to do a check, even though it is managed by an experienced manager. There are a few steps we have to go through because a fake project can happen to all managers.

as long as the bounty brought in has a very good concept and consists of a legitimate team then I think it doesn't matter if join the bounty even though handled by manager not well known.

I will not do that because one campaign in a year may not necessarily make a lot of money

It's better to join bounty projects from reputable bounty managers to avoid bad results because most new bounty managers only cares about money making so they take any bounty job available without proper investigations, I know it can't be all new bounty managers but majority of them don't care

Well said, these days, there are alot of shitty project been managed by bounty managers who only care about their own pocket and not about bounty hunters, Is getting worse day by day but funny enough I still don't know why hunters do always rush to join almost all project without doing their findings if is worth joining or not. Is better doing just one bounty in a year and earn a reasonable amount of money from it than working for all projects and have nothing to show for it.

It's safer to avoid bounty projects introduced by new bounty managers but what about bounties managed by the Project team? Still sometimes it doesn't matter, every old bounty managers with good reputation today starts from somewhere, they are once newbies to Jr members before

The last sentence sounds like truth. I have long stopped investing in ICO projects because of the many scammers who took part of my free money. IEO now doesn't have such a threat as ICO. Now I'm considering several IEO projects.

Be careful, not all IEO are safe, just because IEO is safer than ICO doesn't mean they are scam free, beware of IEO projects on small exchanges like p2pb2b exchange, exmarket, latoken and few others, no single IEO that raise fund on these exchanges did very well.

Great to see a bought account telling people how to make the forum a better place and improve the bounty hunting experience for everyone :D

The advice is good but as long as there's money to be made people will ignore all the warning signs and keep joining scam campaigns if not with main accounts then at least with their alts. Weren't you doing a similar thing with your alts?

...And some of their campaigns have failed several times without number. Though some of the good campaign they have promoted before now; that actually went successful which forum members complaints against was the Basic Finance, this campaign was conducted successfully and many bounty campaign participants got not their payment from the team, "not in all bounty campaign they hold tokens for participants". Although, they are good bounty management team compare to others on the forum. If all bounty campaign managers would help to hold tokens for participants will be a plus to bounty hunters.

Kakatua shouldn't be compared to other new bounty managers, this kakatua is a big cheater who wants to scam people by creating fake projects, we need to consider new bounty managers, bounty cloud came into the scene in 2019 and they introduce Veil project which I invested in and still holding till date.

It's safer for new bounty hunters to join projects from popular bounty managers unless you are very confident about your research skills, most new bounty managers don't do deep research on projects before accepting their offers this is why its wrong to depend on any bounty manager

That is absolutely true but i have joined a few bounty related telegram groups where members are even complaining of bad or scam campaigns even from reputed managers, some have not being given the reward tokens while they did everything right. So bounty hunting has become unpredictable at the moment.

I have to disagree with this. I know we are just minimizing the risks of being scammed but we can't generalized that all new managers are all untrustworthy.

The best thing to do is to look at all sides of the project itself. Try as much as possible to determine if that project is worth to put up an effort. Basically, we feel safe if it will be handled by the best and famous managers around but that's not should be always the basis. It's not an assurance though that the project will be successful whoever handles it. Shit projects might also take advantage of hiring a reputable bounty manager but in the end, they will just use the popularity of the manager here in the forum to attract investors.

For newbies, don't just jump to work at any bounties you see. I know you take risks but try to precious your time spent. Always DYOR before joining a bounty. ICO today is not that hype anymore.
