Bowhead Health a project to develop medicinal devices for patient data and dispensing medicines was a huge hype couple of months before. Lots of Bounty participant joined the Bounty Campaign Considering the rewards offered by Bowhead of 1,000,000 Tokens for Bounty which was specified in their Thread to be 1% of Total Supply (100,000,000 Tokens).

But Poor Bounty Hunters were not aware that soon this hype of Working hard for 2 long months was going to deflate when Bowhead Bounty Manager decided to SCAM the Bounty Hunter Community by reducing the Bounty Pool from 1,000,000 Token to 80,000 after 15 days of Entire Bounty Campaign Ended!!!!!   Screenshot for Reference: https://imgur.com/a/OodzN

When People questioned their motives and this unwarranted reduction in Bounty Pool(Screenshots for reference), they threatened them to remove from Campaign for Unethical Behaviour (Pun: Look who's talking about Unethical behavior): https://imgur.com/a/UrYcC

The Bounty supply calculation itself was wrong from the very beginning. Even if you consider bounty pool based on Circulating supply, at any point of time after ICO (Assuming 40M tokens were completely Sold out) circulating supply will never be above 40M and so bounty pool would have been 400,000 which is 1% of circulating supply(Best Case Scenario)!
Since rest of 40M is for patient data stuff, these coins will take years and years to come to market circulation! (Which depends on adoption of this device by users)

The entire 1,000,000 tokens for Bounty was a trap to lure all the bounty hunters to join the campaign! This can give you the idea of intentions of bounty manager and entire Bowhead Project Team, a team of Doctors whose profession demands compliance and Ethical Behavior and in real life they are scamming people!

Bowhead team even locked their ANN thread to avoid reappraisal from Bounty Hunter Community!

Note: This is a self moderated post, to discuss the concerns of Bounty Hunters who participated in Bowhead Bounty Campaign and to create awareness among other members of the wrongdoing by Bowhead Project Team. Anything unrelated will be removed.

Cheers for the heads up the on project, looks like one to stay clear off. Sadly this type of shit happens in bounty programs.

Yes mate. Sadly this kind of shit happens in bounty program but its not expected from so called Bowhead and its White collar community (Doctors) to come here and SCAM Bitcointalk Community members! If they don't had funds and decided to cut pay of bounty hunters by more than 12.5 times!

I guess just wait, and no need to rush to say scam.
during dev still answer the complaint i think dev is responsible for his project.

Yeah, wait till the participants get scammed even more.  People like you who don't want to sound
the whistle as soon as a scam happens make me want to pee my pants.  Be a man, man up, and call it out
when you see it.  Get some cojones.

These aren't doctors pulling this shit.  These are a bunch of garboons who want to rip off people in the world
of crypto, just like a lot of other ICOs.  Propers to OP who called out the scam.  Even though I think most of
these 'bounty hunters' are parasites in the community who probably don't deserve to earn one dime.  It's
almost enough to make me reach for the Dramamine.  People in this one should see the writing on the wall and
jump ship as soon as possible.  These noogers aren't going to pay up.

As Pearls mentioned, we cannot say whether project will be scam or not, but as per Today's date Bowhead already started a SCAM by not paying Bounty Hunters their share and significantly reducing it.

I am just trying to sound an alarm of whats happening and it affects other members. Considering the reputation of Doctors, I supported this project and even INVESTED in it but now I feel regret that the money could have been utilized in more deserving projects with not so hyped up but HONEST project team!   

Bowhead even come up with a idea of AHT Club for Bounty Hunters, if hunters join the group they will pay them better rates for subsequent bounty contest. But if they cannot honor and pay what was said today, do you really trust them to keep their words and your coins safe in future?  ::)

is it a true bowhead scam? some say if the payment will be done march 2018 :D
should have to be patient if it is dated it was sent

Is this true? I have a couple of friends who have invested and joined their signature campaign and was expecting big from this project. This is really looking bad if this is true.

Kindly check screenshots posted above and go through the Bounty Thread for more information.

Distribution of bounty of 80,000 tokens is 02-Oct-17. I am not sure what will you get in March-18  ::) ::)

You can go through the Bounty thread from page 68 onward to see and decide yourself!
Bounty calculation are finalized as per Bounty Manager: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047692.msg22376266#msg22376266

My friend follows Bowhead's signature campaign and gets very little reward, please report this case to meta selection for their community manager to be given negtrust.
Projects that do not reach softcap are garbage but projects that change the rules on their own are worse than garbage.

They do not think of the bounty hunters who participated in their projects. At will they reduce the cost to bounty hunter. And I really regret ever joining their project

So do I! I pity for Signature campaign participants who received 10-20$ after participating in bowhead Signature campaign for 2 months! That's a shame!

I can confirm this is true. They should quickly come out to public and clean this mess. I was actually believing their project was different and could be good. But this is very bad sign to leave when they were just beginning.

This is true, I joined this campaign too. Wtf Bowhead !

So sad :'(, im working with this campaign for a 1 month.

They reduced bounty pool 92% from 1.000.000 to 80.000, This is not funny.

I am also sad when many friends from my community who say work from the bowhead campaign to date have not been paid. Are there any updates from developers yet?

escrow should be used for bounties

That's why bounty manager is less experienced in managing a bounty. There is always a disappointment from project not qualified.

Do you understand what it means to work without payment in advance not to talk of holding bounty hunter wages! This type of scam should not be alowed here. It is time we punish any ICO that play smart on Bounty hunter! We can burn their ICO and completely erase their token! It is easy to destroy!

Wonderful Idea there friend! Reputable Escrow services are all over the place. I will also add that the announcer of any project should not be anything less of SR MEMBERS. And the announcer is  also responsible for misdeed!

Its very easy to buy Sr Mem or above account to host these bounties. What we really need is some fixed assurances that will make sure that scams like these dont happen when project kicks away bounty hunters who support it.

That being said reputed projects scam bounty hunters and walk freely without any repercussion may be thats why many campaigns change pools so often!!!

Hope they get cancer, ppl like this destroy the community. well it happens, just unlucky you joined it :(

This kind of stuff really makes me mad.  Bowhead was on my radar since I like to diversify into new arenas, and I don't have any medical related altcoins .... but forget them.  They shouldn't scam the bitcointalk community.

very sad if that's true, because bowhead health is a very big and very successful project, but I think you should be patient and wait for certainty

As mentioned previously Distribution of bounty of 80,000 tokens is starting on 02-Oct-17. Stakes are already updated and rewarded in bounty spreadsheets. What additional proof you will need?  ;D

Bloodyhell! Im sick of seeing these scam reports! Damn these scammers! These kind of people who do nothing but sweet talk everyone when they need people and then just show their true colors when they already got what they need. I really wish karma crawls its way into these lazy scammers.

You should post this content on your ANN thread by unlocking it. However hard you try to convince other by forcing them to gulp your words, people will know the truth and they should know how you scammed them by not giving bounty hunter their deserved share of bounty! You might have removed me and other couple of people but I dont care, I dont need your coins.

I want people to know the real face of bowhead project which is scamming Bounty hunters!

In my opinion it looks convincing enough that would keep this project aside. Thank you!

Hopefully your opinion is correct ,,
although the thread has been locked but dev still give a positive response on the monitor continue ..
But if it is true that scams, how the fate that follows the project ..

Yes, I think you're right dude. Thank you for the warning, now I will avoid them.

We cannot guess whether project will be scam or not. But Bowhead Scammed bounty hunters by not giving them the bounty rewards as per original bounty pool even after they worked tirelessly for 2 months just because they want to protect original backers!

so this is because project can't reach hardcap. with small funded that is that all they can do for your work.

Even if they were able to reach Hardcap which was 40M Tokens, still there was no way they planned to offer 1M tokens for bounty as they keep claiming Bounty token is 1% of Circulating supply(No where mentioned during entire campaign). So if hard cap is reach Bounty Pool will be 400,000 tokens which is 1% of 40M  ::) ::)

Their initial idea itself was to cheat and scam bounty participants and lure them showing wrong figures!  :-\

I'm not involved in this project as a bounty hunter, but after reading the Bounty Thread, I have to agree that the bounty hunters are getting screwed over big time.  The original boundary hunter announcement clearly says "1% of the total supply" will be divided for bounty and campaigns ... now they decided to lock 92 million coins, and are arguing that "total supply" and "circulating supply" means the same thing, and reducing bounty payouts by 92%.  Bowhead needs to make this right, and trying to entice the same people to do more work for them and maybe get paid something later isn't cutting it.  I've been running a professional business for a long time, and the first hard lesson you learn is don't get in deeper once your client has shown they don't respect you and will cheat you.

Exactly! Right to the point. The same things I argued and highlighted to bowhead team that what they are doing is considered as Scam but they threatened to remove people from campaign who call their idea of reducing the tokes by 92% a Scam.

Now they offer people $AHT club so if participants stay with them for longer period and help them with future campaign they will reward better but IMO if today they come out with all these excuses to reduce the bounty how can people believe them to honor their deal in future!

Trust once lost cannot be gained back, once a cheat will always be a cheat! 

I can't say bowhead team is scam. but I know how all bounty member feel. support project 2 month and just get few token. But I think the good way is dev keep lock all unsold token. With small supply in market if dev can complete their platform soon maybe price will go up x10 or x20. Your guy can keep token and wait till that time. Dev can't do anything right now. They need protect their investor. Give them more time.

So you want to say if I am suppose to get 1200 coins and now only getting 100 coins is not Scam :)! Increase in coin price will decide earnings of bounty hunters from Bounty as well, for what they were suppose to get $1200, now they will get only $100 when coin price go to $1

Lot of projects dont meet hard cap but they still distribute the bounty as they have promised. They dont hide behind the excuse of Investor protection as bounty hunters also strive hard to create awareness about the project.

If the bowhead team has kept the conditions clear upfront and transparent, we wouldn't have had this discussion today :)

It's can't be done because Bounty amounts are rarely fixed and most of the time tokens are not even issues on the start.

I was in the Twitter campaign but eve forgot about those.

They clearly deserves to open a scam accusation!

Hi all,

Mr shade_wrath or me or anyother who disagree with new rules by which Bowhead lowered the total bounty amount from 1 000 000AHT to 80,000AHT. This is because first they changed rules after completion of campaign and giving silly reasons and even threatening to kickout who disagree with their new rules and call this as a SCAM.They are did so as my name is excluded and so is of this thread creator.

There claim is that current circulation of AHT is lower than expected.But same time it was in there plan since beginning that they are not going to burn unsold token and introduce them next year in the market.Now it very clear that those unsold token still with them and still their property.They attract bounty hunters by showing fixed amount and we worked for almost 9weeks for them and in return they paying much less than what they promised.I pity on those who kept their signatures for so long period and in return get only $20-$50.I was also thinking about to put their signature but decided to choose Hubbi network and after 3weeks they paid me 5300 HBT coins worth of approx $800.Even their project not get expected response but still they paid and don't make any claim like what bowhead doing now.

I also invested in this project personally with a small amount of $250 but still I say they doing SCAM with bounty participants.We have no problem with project as we don't say its concept is a SCAM.But they people who promoted and developed it are really scammers.They bounty manager threaten us instead of helping us.
If we left them by accepting their new rules & terms then definitely in future other will do same.Then why we are here to waste time.How we can relay on any project???

They already allocated the final AHT to every bounties and excluded those who opposed them.They are not going to change their stance now and I request from participants please come forward and have healthy discussion and take a decision to level bowhead management and bounty manager as scammers.They wasted our 9weeks and it worth something and don't let them go & do anything with bounty community in near future.

They are trying to show only 10% of what they did and not showing what they promised and why they kept unsold token.Why not they burn them.Not those token still their property and they can sell them anytime???

Let us make a community who never do wrong and also same time not accept wrong done against them.Why they people take advantages of our silence every time.They are not doing any pity on us by giving us few tokens.We worked hard and spent valuable time and money to promote any project and in return we look for payment according to rules.

I didn't joined their bounty campaign but I sympathize those who joined because of this. By reading their announcement it's clearly that they reduced the bounty pool from what they promise. Hope they we're being transparent to this and didn't hide anything so people didn't expect. And of course, man it's two month campaign and just to end in just few coins. Just a waste of time and those who joined are too late to get what they really deserve.

Yes, you are right Riyaz22. Seems like the team has lost its path the moment they decided to Scam bounty hunters in the disguise of reduced Bounty pool and $AHT club. I still warn other members not to join $AHT Club because if the Bowhead team doesn't respect bounty hunters and doesnt treat them well, no chance now or in future they will think about them! All what matters to them is their investors. So when they want to do cheap marketing at cost of Bounty hunters they will come with all those fancy ideas of $AHT club and long term support but in reality they will not hesitate to scam bounty hunters again! 

Right to the point PETES! But the bowhead team decided not to share their hidden agenda all the way until end of Bounty campaign and 15+ days after that. Since they knew if they tell the truth, lot of people will leave bowhead campaign!

So what other people decided about these scammers.Atleast put the distrust mark on their profiles here on BCT.
What you people say???

We need to create more awareness among people about the wrongdoing of Bowhead. They will get their red marks for sure sooner or later but before that other investors should know what time of project they are getting into. 

I do not know about the bowhead scam,
but from the words friends who have participated until now have not been paid, sometime will be paid

if it is true I was in the rewards campaign and everything they say here is true

They scammed bounty participants but it was obvious they were scam project since beginning. First impression when I joined their Telegram brought warning signs and now it's not surprising they end up like this. If you question them they kick you in the channel.

I agree, they have a really bad attitude towards community members. They behave as if they are doing favor by giving us their token and whatever they say is correct in their telegram group.
Eventually the coin has met its fate and greed of project team appears visible on exchanges.

I participated in the ICO but not in the bounty. I also think it is not correct to write something and change it afterwards. I know that this ICO didn't do very well. And the price of AHT indicates it.
But it is not good for Bowhead image to do this kind of thing. I think they didn't expect that the ICO sales would not do so good. But they have to be more careful and calculate well their budget.
I hope they will be able to attain their goal and that they will be successful. I don't think they are scammers, but they maybe didn't plan well their budget.
But it is not an excuse to write something and change it after.

I am sure the current bounty campaign market are kinda having some flaw in it

I personally have promote on some campaign that is a legit project but because of saving cost, they deny my hardwork. Stated i just copy pasted.

Guess a new revolution of bounty could be do, and Bounty0x should be something i guess

Show some love! ;)

To those of us they have screwed over... show some 'love' to their latest upload: https://youtu.be/z25HU89Or9A

a safe way for the bounty team to lose losses by cutting the bounty pool. the bear market was the main reason for them, and they decided to cut the bounty pool for their own profit purposes.

if the reason is that the bear market should not cut the allocation for bounty, but reduce the supply of tokens available by burning unsold tokens, that would save the price of their tokens on the market.
