That's right ,this scammer offers to pay people 50 cents to translate a whitepaper .For anyone who has ever done a translation job that takes about 20 to 30 hours of your time.

And the guy has no shame in saying he will pay you...50 cents !!!

How is this a scam? They are offering a certain number of coins for work to be done. The exchange rate of these coins is publicly available information. Sure, it is a terrible deal, but no one is forcing you to take it. A scam would be if they offered coins and refused to pay for the work done.

Read the thread ,he plays with numbers making people think his tokens are worth something which they're not ...and never will be !

You know how this board works ,most don't read half of the posts .Of course ,there's gonna be naive people who will say yes ...only to realize once they've done the job (which isn't an easy one) that they got screwed .

That's kinda like all those airdrop forms who ask for private keys .No one is forcing you to give it but there is always gonna be people who will give it anyway.

So yes ,I call it a scam .

The ICO price of the tokens is in the WP and does not match you numbers at all. The translation is a really hard work, but does not seem a scam.

Well I received some of those tokens via airdrop and trust me they are worth 50 cents .
The guy doesn't even deny it .  ;)

So because the people don't do their research and read the terms of the deal, it becomes the bounty provider's fault? I'm sorry, but as that may be greedy on the provider's part, it's just as greedy for the bounty hunter for not doing their due diligence and research before accepting the job. In this case, I don't see any fault with what the OP is doing, other than being greedy. It's definitely not a "scam" as you call it, though, unless as @MadZ stated, someone did the work and he did not pay what was agreed upon.

So, where is the problem? Yes, 50 cents for White Paper looks like a joke, but it doesn't means they are scam. And if people not reading information about project and their bounty campaign rates, it's only their problem.

It says... 5427 SXAS per qualifying translation

And in the WP it says that they´ll be selling the tokens for 1 euro each. Am I missing something? I would say that the price is decent even if the tokens were worth 10 cents each. What are your numbers?

Thread was closed ,there has to be a reason .
And no ,their token isn't worth $1 .
For the ones who didn't read the topic (not all of them are my quotes) :

Quote
Is the value of every coin $0.0000346? If it´s true the bounty would be really low.

Excuse me, I saw that 100SXAS=  0.0010 LTC https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/ltc/analysis/SXAS Am I wrong?

Quote
i have 1200 sxas ,they are worth 0,0013 waves on waves dex

Anyway like I said ,thread is closed.

Its a free market. They name the price. Take it or leave it.

The problem is that the price is unclear.
