Bitcoin Forum

When you have followed some bounty then at the end of the bounty they promise to distribute their tokens based on the time they have specified. But in fact, after waiting some time token not sent. What's worse, it turns out bounty that we have followed is a scam.
How do you deal with this while your time has gone to work on bounty to promote their projects.

Take a short feel down, but keep on trying after some time, take a rest for a few days. After all crypto isnt 100% sure to earn money thete is always bad experience just like what happen on you. We are the rights to pick bounty so its our fault to trust. Moveon and be more critical in choosing a campaign

It feels worst but you have to let go as you can not do anything ahead of such big conspiracy that is played by these scammers. This never works for many reasons, you can not complain about them to anyone because this market is open source, you had all your options open in front of you when you invested in it. Sometimes people may finger you and say it was your own mistake as you did not make your own research about it. I think this is the way the crypto currencies here work and believe me, you literally have to put stone on your heart and let that feeling go. Start joining new bounties with whole new energy and thats what you can do about it.  ::)

Most of the bounty in this forum was managed by the bitcointalk users itself, so no worry about the unpaid bounty. If you have an unpaid bounty, just report the bounty manager on Scam Accusation board or Reputation board.

That doesnt get you the money though, you just get the person a red trust which they dont care about

Yeah, reporting scam won't help you get your payment for the job done, unfortunately. Also the bounty manager is often without a fault, and gets scammed just like you, although it is his job to verify the project before starting campaign. So, to be honest, there is not much you can do about it, just try to DYOR next time, before you waste your time promoting another project.

I have been working on a campaign that was ended March of the current year. Sad to say untill now they haven't distributed yet and listed on any exchange. They just kept on updating their participants as well as their investors that they are going to be listed soon. I feel so bad because kept on promising us and now it is almost end of June and it is not listed until now. Patience is what I have right now, because I am still hoping that they will pay us soon.

Condolence to you, you can choose the good bounty manager: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085997.0

I use this case as risk of my job because actually all kind of job has each risk. But so far all bounty campaign that i joined paid me , so i think just little bit bounty is not paying.

You said it all it one of the several scamming project that is running ICO. What can you do than to move ahead. There are some that will even sent the token but that will be the end because that token will never be listed in any exchange and you will be left with a worthless token in the wallet. I have several of them.  

Because of that same situation through analyzation prior to joining the bounty is needed to be made. Even in the cases when you have studied fully before joining the bounty this situation can happen and all your time is actually lost in vain. Try to contact the developers be consistent with your questions about your reward and n the end try to join with a bigger group which has the same problem like you that is caused by a same developer team and project.

actually it always happened mate. Especially if the project does not succeed to achieve goals within the date on which the ICO ends. But it will continue to run and will adjust the evaluation or distribution of token it depends as well if the project is classified, so  If i were you join on telegram group of the ICO to obtain more information about the situation of the ICO or updates.  

i think sometimes it is difficult to avoid this situation
If you observed certain scam projects such as hashcard and impressio
it was until late that it was figured that it were scam,
situations like this does not help and we can only keep trying and earn as much as we can

we can try to report such scams and reduce the loss and victims

Yes, that's always awful. Sorry to hear that it happened to you.

You have put in the work but you don't get paid for it, that's always unfair.

I would suggest creating a thread in Meta and asking a DT member to tag the campaign manager. This way other people will know that the user is a scammer and will avoid him in the future.

I think before participating in a project you should look into it for example the development team, the community, the potential, the project manager, and you also need some luck in it.

As a bounty hunter, there is really no way to solve this situation, because the current bounty mission can not give us any guarantee, he is like a box of chocolate! We can only choose the task as carefully as possible to reduce the chance of being cheated!

We participate on a bounty on our own risk, so before participating in a bounty campaign be sure to check whether it is a legitimate one or a scam. Don't just wait at the end and caught by surprised that your bounty campaign is a scam.

there are a lot of scam bounty campaign today. when i am still a newbie i joined a scam bounty after it finish i get paid but the coin have no value. for now i look for bounty campaign manage by higher rank with or without higher trust rating. it have a higher chance to be legit compared to bounty manage by low rank specially newbie.

One thing that I have really eluded from is the unpaid bounties. I have participated in so many bounties and at the end they pay though.

You cant helo but be sas about it since you cant do anything about it tbh. There's no way to get paid with a scam bounty. This is why i always check the porject and ask manythings in theirntelegram to know whether they are legit or not. Not because it is handled by a reputable manager it will not fail, there is always a chance that the project will end up scam or failure so choose well.

I think it's okay, there's a feeling of disappointment, but it's one of the risks of following the bounty campaign, because there is no guarantee that we will all be given tokens, and of course we can not demand,

Well this is what they called "joined with your own risk"

Keep going dude. Try another bounty, there is still many good bounty and potential ICO. Try to forget it. Because there is nothing that we can do.

If you join the bounty there is no guarantee that you will be paid. Is not 100% that you got what you have invested with your time. If you didnt paid just move on and find another bounty until you get paid.

We all been there. At first I feel depressed especially, when the bounty that turns out to be a scam runs about 10 weeks or more. The only thing we can do is to accept that the program that we joined was a scam. We bounty hunters like investors had to take risk to success in this industry. We feel bad for scam bounty programs what about the investors? For me making money needs to take risk to success.

unfortunately it is increasingly common..you just have to forget and move on, trying to get back earned you will only lose your time

I think the best is to runaway from bounties that has the signs of being a scam because some rewards can benefit the managers far more to what profit they will get with their account. So, even when their account is tagged red, they will be satisfied with the rewards put together that they have scammed from participants.

Only way to benefit in this is by not wasting any more of your time and energy brooding over a lost cause.

We can't do anything like this unpaid bounties but we have to be very carefull to select bounties. You have to search about that bounty in deep like you are investing in any ICO because we are investing our precious time to work for 2-3 months. You have to check about that bounty managers if his trust level high then you can join without worry. You can also check its site about their developer and advisory team and white paper and the road map.

There are no guarantees that a project goal will be reached, so you will not receive any tokens for a bounty and you should be ready for that before starting any campaign. The only thing you can do - reduce the number of scam projects by making deeper projects' analysis.

There are 2 kinds of scam in the business of the world of cryptocurrency and that is...

No.1 the bounty scammers: they are the ones who applied for advertising there ICO my managing and hiring people to do and sometime the ICO team give the whole money to the manager but as of taday ICO is being carefull

And the other hand is the

No.2 the ICO team scammers they hire people who will manage the bounties to make the ICO real and easy thats the people who ask you in personal message and go undercover as the admin and tell them to invest and when you got on the hook of there talk you been scamed but as of todays we or maybe some are not being fooled so the others work on it to make a fake ICO to gather money.



Also if some promise to send the money on specific date wait for it because they only might have problems but if that situation turn in for months no money report if and they will get they deserved.

Crypto is not 100% no regulation completely decentralised when you say scam most are not completely scam. You only didn't get paid because the ICO didn't reach soft cap meaning project won't go on. So relax keep trying some with go well

Well that's the part of joining in any signature campaigns sometimes they will reduce the tokens allocated the reason is to avoid dumps if i were you i will join those escrowed campaigns

Ahh, that pissed feeling, I know it. Everyone does go through that and unfortunately no one does anything about it. If you have to work with the bounties then you have to be very careful about the situation like this. It can arrive at anytime in the future, you never know on which bounty you are really working and whether you are going to be scammed or not. You can make your own research before getting into bounty but many times legit looking like bounties also true out to be sucker punch later on. So its not your fault, you anger is understandable.

Well as my second time of joining bounty campaign I haven’t experienced being scammed I don’t know this second bounty I joined though hope its not. And in that case of being not paid is really depressing and I think I may stop participating bounty for a month to take fresh air at least coz its like losing a money in gambling also since its like a job salary not given.

It seems to me that happened with my first bounty. I do not know what i can do now.
I do not believe that i can do anything. I have not invested much time in the bounty, but it annoys me.
With my current bounty, i have a better feeling that it is not a scam.

If it's been positively a scam so don't expect any more paid. search other bounties because there are still many promising from the bounty on you follow it. forget the bounty the scam and don't expect much. This is indeed a risk that occurs so don't be too prolonged mind made because of still many bounties.

now indeed many bounty programs are scam so be very careful in choosing it. would feel annoyed if the bounty that we follow is a scam, nothing we can do .. can only surrender

u fortunately, such things happen sometimes and all o can wish for you is good ljck next time, that is all, be careful

there ar e alot of scammer nowadays, much more than it wzs a few years ago, i think thagbthowpse people should be punoshed

I haven't been involved into any ICO nor invested nor joined.

In such cases the best thing that you can do to deal with this situation is to move on, move forward and learn from those scams.

You can't recover your losses, your effort and time that was wasted.

When you search for another bounty make sure you have learned from it and use the lesson from that experience.

This is a horrible situation and I know you feel bad, but this is the risk associated with this cryptocurrency market. The extreme volatility and the plethora of scammers and hackers have scared off many investors over time, but many people like me still invest time, money and effort despite the risks involved due to the possibility of earning small to huge rewards over time. I advise doing more research in the future op before choosing a particular bounty campaign. Luck is also an important factor in this aspect. Don't lose hope and choose better campaigns in the future op.

Can only wait and be patient I can do because it all takes time and process, if the time is over will definitely be paid if the project is not a scam, if not yet paid while others have been paid then we must report it to the admin from the project.

If it is really a scam, then you need to check what details you have given them and take any security precautions necessary.
If they just haven't paid the tokens, then often you are best contacting them in Telegram - I've found that often gives quickest responses to queries.

Really if they decide not to pay, there is nothing you can do except try to learn from it and take great care with the next bounty project you choose to follow.

You also have to bear in mind that sometimes a project fails to hit its soft cap at ICO. This means that they haven't made sufficient sales for the project to be viable. In this case no-one gets any coins because without any project they would be worthless.

Well this is a part of life of a bounty hunter, if the bounty manager decide not to pay, there is nothing you can do except trying to learn from it and take care with the next bounty project you choose to participate.

When you decides to join bounty program you should know the risk and unpaid is part of them. Never give up and join another bounty, by time you'll have knowledge to understand which one to join or not. There's nothing you can do about bounty payment, developer decision is final. patience is also needed to face this risk not just for hold, join several bounty is solutions.

That is why you as a bounty hunter will keep an eye on what seem to be suspicious to these ICO. Some of them are scam just as there are rotten apples in a basketful. Not getting paid means a waste of time. Don't rely much of your time on bounties, find a real job online. There are freelance sites for you to find job, one that you might wanna register soon is the bitjob.

bounty campaigns is good and i think that you can cou t on it in case you choose wisely and i think yoh should abpvoid scammers

bounty campaigns and airdrops i thonk they are an addition chance to earn momey, nit the main income, so you should be careful

Just learn from it, search for something that could have given away the fact that they were scamming.

On your next bounty, pick your ICO more carefully than ever and I'm sure you'll get your motivation back.

Nothing, doing bounties is like gambling.
we are risking our time and effort on that project.
we promote them for their who ICO.
there are ICO that turned out scam.
there are ICO that don't want to pay bounties and giving so many reasons and delay.

Honestly this is the most embarassing and the saddess moment when we dont get paid at the same time the ICO manager gone away without any explaination

Ill think it is not a scam because some bounty was too busy to compute some stake in the spreadsheet, And they will going to distribute if you have some patient abount to your bounty rewards. Even me i'm always experience in that so must better to wait to your rewards.

Yes, I experienced something like that, and it feels very disappointing. For the next, of course should be more selective in choosing the project. In addition, should be more vigilant in following the project with the same manager, so as not to happen again.

My friend has experienced the same thing. But what i told him was that not all campaigns in bitcointalk are scams. I told him some points he needs to check to minimize or even assure you are not scamed. Here it is:

1. Know the manager. Check feedbacks, previous campaigns run. Rank also matters but not entirely, it means he is trusted long term in the forum
2. Read/research. Check the whitepaper if the project is worthy. Check the website if its working.

First of all as a bounty hunter you should know that 90% of the project you've joined may end up as a failure or a SCAM. That's the risk you're going to face as a bounty hunter, that's why I decided not to involve with the bounties (But I joined sometimes when I did a research of the project and believe it was legit)

The thing you can do that is to report the bounty manager and the project so other will be aware of it, that's the best thing you can do... and about the reward, you may not get it.

Doing bounties is like betting in the lotttery you will never know if you can get the jackpot and who will pay it incase you win.

Once the bounty program is over, then I do not expect when I will receive a reward for it. I am taking up the next and starting monitoring project in which I participated, I follow his successes and defeats.

I think unpaid bounties becomes something common nowadays. I'm facing it from time to time , but this year is a a total disaster , because the amount of scam bounties has doubled. Sometimes it's not a scam , but just a project which facing with financial problems (which is not rare in present days) , in this case I'm trying to talk with their team in telegram or on forum to clarify payment dates and corrected roadmap . It usually works well and all I need to do furher is wait for distribution . But in some cases , when project turned into scam , I really don't know what we can to do , so I don't bother about it. I believe karma will find them with time .

You feel bad at first but there's nothing to do, it's some kind of gambling. Sometimes projects run their own bounty and this is even worse if they dont pay you.

I usually find projects that are fraudulent in the middle of a project because I always update with bounty hunter groups, so usually I've left a fraudulent project before the campaign is over.
If I find a fraudulent project, I consider it is a risk of my work as a bounty hunter. so I will continue to work here, because I know the potential of the world of cryptocurancy.

Honestly if a an ICO company decided to not continue their projects or if it turned into a scam you can not do anything about it anymore. Just move on and continue if you still want to be a bounty hunter. But this is a lesson that bounty hunters should learn. You should not just participate in any kinds of campaigns without knowing them and understanding the purpose of their project and if you think that they will perform good then participate on it. But dont just participate just because of the money you can get.

I have a few bounties that have not been paid, it's unpleasant, but at times nothing can be done about it. It is necessary to give the analyst more time.

Reporting scam won't help you get your payment for the job done, unfortunately. Also the bounty manager is often without a fault, and gets scammed just like you, so just patiently wait and see.

It actually feels so painful and discouraging. After working my self out for up to 2 months or even more than, getting to know I will not be getting my rewards is just too bad.
   A personal experience in this regard was a campaign I joined to since last year November. The name of the project is Envion. The team promised to reward its bounty participants 2 weeks after ICO which actually ended since Jan 14 this year. You wouldn't believe, nothing has been done to us bounty participants. They are even claiming to be having some critical issues as regards their project, so therefore no one should mention any bounty affiliated thing in their ears. I think the treatment of bounty participants over time has been kinda unfair. After we might have work tirelessly for a project success, we are quick to be forgotten. Leaving out the fact that we actually played a vital role in their success. It's so unfair.

You can't do anything much about it just take it as a lesson and next time do much research before joining into the bounties.If you followed a scam bounty means you actually helped the investors to scam so it is your fault to and there is no way to get your money back.All you can do is can get a negative trust for the user who handled that bounty.

It is very heartbreaking and disappointing but this dos not mean it is the end of good bounties in crypto. I will just forget about that bounty because I know if I take my time to carefully choose a good and potential one, I ill not be disappointed at the end because there are still some very goo bounties. I will pick another one and do all it take to make sure I do not get scammed again.

A little respite will not hurt you, because there is a bad experience in the crypto currency!

I've been bounty for a few times that I've been annoying you because you're wasting time and tired after you've paid and you advertice their products with some bots after thank you but I did not do it because I did not know that it would be difficult if they did not pay you.

I tooked part in a few bounties which were not paid and it dissapointed me because I value every minute of my time. Unfortunately it's happening and in most cases we can't do anything to recieve our paid. We just should choose bounties more carefully

If they did not pay you (when you did it right) it was scam. I was scammed by a scam campaign. It's bad when I spend so much time on the campaign .. but I can not do anything. they are scammers

in fact, it's just called diversification. you need to always allocate your money, time, effort and take the risk as given. Therefore, you always need to wait for the work in spite of periodic disappointments

Me i got no payment for 3 project but its okay or i think you just wait for the update cause sometime there are late in paying so the best to do is hunt more project and always read. if its legit there so many post in the forum of how will you know if the bounty in legit

cheating of course a lot now everyone is trying not to pay you and find the reason to pay less you need to always be in touch with bounty administrators always negotiate to find out the reason if it's your fault to fix it right away

Try to double check the the website and dig deeper research about the platform. A feedback from this platform is really important to me and how they handle their community through social media is also a plus for me. There are many things I consider before joining the bounty like the bounty manager, how active they are on social media accounts, and how lively or how presentable their website is. if the team member are willing to show their faces on youtube videos, that also is a big plus for me. If the bounty ends up to be a scam, deal with it since we can't avoid such scenario. Still, we can join multiple bounties as a back up and doing further research is a must to minimize promoting those scam ICOs.

And how do they comment on all this? What is this bounty program? Tell us everything so that everyone knows the details.

I have followed a bounty that does not pay when the ICO is over and I think it's a risk that there's always a chance that the gifts we follow end up with a scam, so I try to stay calm and accept it, and I have to move on and be more careful again in choosing bounty

Some major projects don't even pay, e.g. envion, hdac and current or they pay late.
Selection of the project entirely dependent on chance

When a bounty turns out to be scam, I wouldnt do anything, it's pat of the job.. But when a bounty turns out to be genuine but the just like delaying bounty payments, it pisses me off, my very first blog/content campaign bounty I did in early April has not distributed up till now, just keep saying they are still auditing.. In thing we can do though, am just waiting them out.

It is always very sad when you do all it takes to promote a project an at the end you do not get rewards or token do not get listed for exchange, I think you should take time next time when searching for a bounty campaign to join to do a very deep research of the project, the manager and the community.

Unfortunately nowadays is not a surprise, I would say it is normal that bounty is unpaid.   

don't give up and take this as a lesson to be more careful in participating a bounty

It's not only you who had experienced such incident where in fact there were many bounty hunters had been to that kind of situation. Though we had tried to screen out for ourselves on what bounty should we join but still in the end, we end up being scammed by some stupid ICO's.
It's so sad to think in this kind of situation where bounty hunters are with this campaign for let's say 3 months, then nothing happens wherein our sacrifice and sleepless nights were just being neglected. It's so unfair for our part being a bounty hunter and we end up harvesting nothing.

I'm always disappointed anytime I find out some bounties I participate in will not be paid. It's always disappointing. One just needs to be wise in discerning good bounties from the bad ones. Also, one shouldn't use that as a means to stop participating in bounty programs. When you fall, you just have to rise up again.

I know what you are saying and there is nothing you can do but to try to be more careful in the future. Because what happened is that you got robbed and you do not know who the thief is. Try to find projects that are trusted by people or that have good teams and good projects. Then hope for the best.  

Now on I took part in so many bounties but of course before taking part in them I reserach about the proejct if it can be scam, if it is not I do them and I got 99% of the bounties until now

I would like to know first why you think it was a scam? And was there no announcement or update why bounty payments were delayed? You have to provide more info here. Anyway, if it was really a scam, you can either move on or spend more time chasing them.

Yes, it's sad. But I'm not upset. I go further, take a new project. Any work has a risk.

This has happened to me, and more than once. The only thing we can do in this situation is to spread the information about dishonest participants of these campaigns. It's sad, but no one will return you the time and money spent.

I agree with you. The manager is partly at fault if the campaign that he/she is handling turned out to be a scam. The question is, is the manager well-known in this forum or a member of the team that was behind the project? Because, managers that has no reputation or history of handling a campaign might not really end well. So, doing your research thoroughly is a critical point in joining a campaign.

I know it's too much frustated and can't handle type of position but it is the fact. We have to handle that situation clamly and try to step forward. But to avoid these type of things, we should join only that bounties which have strong team, website, whitepaper and roadmap. Four or five times i get these type of scams bounty when i'm newbie in this world, but after that i joined only that bounties which have strong project. This is the best thing to avoid these type of scam!

I agree. Since that this case always happen then we should be more careful when joining bounty campaign. As what some expert says, do not work so hard, instead work smart.

I faced 2 times with bounties without payment. Envion didn't pay at all. EOZ was a scam. Denaro did pay, but they are scam!
 There is nothing to do with it. Just accept it and go forward

That is very unfair. After of all you've done just like that thank you or nothing updates anymore. What kind of management was that? Maybe you got scammed buddy, or the project did not succeed. However, incase they become successful then I assume that they are the kind of people who are not worthy to follow the campaigns. Our effort is not for free! We give time. We give efforts as long as we can. We put money to to our task but at the end nothing! Unfair.

we are all experienced and also can be to a new bounty hunters. just stay tuned not all projects are scam, there is hope must be careful and study about the true and legit enough enough projects when joining. bless us mates!

it's true that I also experience that, almost all bounty hunters also experience it in my opinion if they are scam because they do not reach their sales then they do not pay and can scam, I think it is better to leave it and move on to another project that is better and potential.

This is also my question. I participated in the bonus campaign and at the end I only know to wait to receive money only. I have no way to force them to pay more quickly.

yeah this kind of job is so risky because it takes alot of months and the manager wont pay.

If i countered unpaid bounty i rapidly reported it ,but there are people who put redtrust in the manager profile who manage the bounty.

Sadly, there are many such projects, which are just scam, and they cheat not only bounty hunters but firstly their investors. And you can do nothing with them.

There are many scams now that bounty you need to be careful. if you're new to joining a bounty first read white paper and joining a telegram to learn more about the project's legit,

This is also my question. I participated in the bonus campaign and at the end I only know to wait to receive money only. I have no way to force them to pay more quickly.

if I'm with you before you get out of this case you'll be careful about the scams and the bounty-free bills know the unfortunate fun is happening. so please ask the telegram of the project to find out if the project is real.

How else will you deal with it than to move on? That is one of the reasons you have to be very selective of the team or project you do any work for to at least ascertain some level of integrity before forging ahead and that will limit the possibility of being affected by such. That is still not a guarantee to anything, so in that case, you always have to prepare your mind and not pay so much attention to it.

Not just SCAM, but failed bounty, can be the reason why they doesn't paid you. Just keep going dude and try another project. I think that there is many good project out there.

I think why we are not being paid maybe because their project is not successful in fundraising that's why they are scam, being patient is the key bounty hunter leave and find another better project.

This is actually better than investing your money this is more than worst. The better thing that we should do as a bounty hunters is to find a good bounty managers. Doing this will sure reduce the chance of receiving nothing after the campaign.

It really forces to feel bad.
But dude, you need to take it easy
For myself I have decided that it is a payment for decentralization of the crypto world. Do you understand? Only you, and they. Between you there are no intermediaries, and it abruptly. You are a part of this world, and you can't go and complain. Nobody will help you, but here you can be free. You are  free in everything. And yes, you will be deceived. Humans, you know.just continue to work hard, and everything will be okay.

You cant able to deal with it because once the project is scam then you cant do anything about it but to move on since you cant able to sue them out on what they do owe.This is why escrowed funds is i do prefer but mostly on bounties or projects doesnt already have this kind of arrangement where they do still have all the possession on the amounts or money into its investors.As a bounty participant then you should really be aware on this possible risk and anytime you wont really be paid up.

However this is very heartbreaking and disappointing but this dos does not mean it is the end of a good gift in crypto. I will just forget the gift because I know if I use my time to choose with good and potential care, I will not be disappointed in the end because there are still some very precious gifts. I will choose another and do everything necessary to make sure I am not cheated again.

This is an embarrassing and sad situation for the hunters, we put our energy to publicize a project and in the end we did not win anything. This problem can even tarnish the forum and someone has to scrutinize this or the campaigns must pay weekly as in the past. For Finally, what purpose to create a project and escape with the money of others, what is the grace?

i dont pay too much attention to it. ofcourse it is sad sometimes, but that`s why i try to select bounties better and tek part in many campaigns

there's nothing we can do about that. actually if the bounty campaign is scam and dont paid their bounty participants, bounty hunters are just pissed off, but other than that, we can actually do nothing.

Nothing you can do in the unpaid bounty, the bounty manager is working for the project team, I can accept the unpaid bounty if the ICO is not successful, but can not tolerance to the successful ICO, like this one, ICO has collected over 2000BTC, but have not paid to anyone, this is the big scam: 

Tokenpay:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2400499

this keeps the hunters down, as most bounty participants do not accept the promised distribution and sometimes even scam.
the one thing I do when I feel disappointed about being cheated is to make a statement that the project has deceived many participants openly in social media and in this BTT forum.

Usually you are getting unpaid when you paticipate in scam bounty projects , or you havent followed the rules and your stakes ate not counted

I just let it go. And I believe there will be a reciprocal of action. Sad and disappointed for sure. For myself it is not too adept to distinguish a good project and a scam.

There's no way to save it . Every time you take part in their campaign , you' re ready to face all the worst. If their project is a scam , it is a way to ignore and be more careful in the next campaign. Take the experience through this time , check out the project and the campaign you join. Make sure the project is real and not deceptive

They officially announce this matter in there description if the project not success participants will receive zero payment after reading all rules and regulations we will choose bounties right. So if they do not reach hard cap then it's our mistake we chose the wrong bounty. But now after reaching hard cap also some bounties taking a long time to pay bounty participants in this matter actually you are right we do nothing.

I've joined cashbag bounty campaign and they told us that the giving of bounty rewards is on May 30th 2018 but until today their progress is still counting it. Once it goes after a month I will get upset and put some scam accusations on their ICO projects on their telegram.

If the team decided not to pay the bounty to the hunters, then you can not do anything about it. Fight for your rights of course you need. But it is not always possible to get your reward unfortunately. But the tragedy of this do not need. Health is more important.

There is not much what you can do now really except move on,had similar situation were ico turned out to be a bust(they ran away with money) and we didnt get paid.Still have on going sitaution with morpheus network bounty were even after 2 months not even a spreadsheet is updated and dont really think that i will ever get paid here2

it is a risk for us as a bounty hunter, indeed in the recent days very many scam projects that we follow, but it all can not break our spirits to work

all members must have experienced the same as you. we should be able to find out whether or not a project. the most easy to find out whether or not a project is the manager of bounty. sometimes even then there are still a scam

To be unpaid is included to the risky crypto bounty life that we have. Taking the risk at the first place should accepting the fact that there is a chance not to get paid however it is unlawful system of the campaign.

I think that in this kind of situation two events are the issue. Are the owners of the project does not distribute prizes. or is there a problem with the prize manager? In most projects the awards are distributed by the project owners. Before that, the manager sends the necessary information to the project owners. If there is no problem in the project manager and if he / she fulfills his / her duties, the problem is in project owners. there is usually nothing to do in this regard. If the project is scam, there is not much to do, as there is no one who can already receive the award.

Yes, I know it's too much frustration and can not handle this type of position but that is a fact. We have to handle the situation strongly and try to move forward. But to avoid these things, we should only join the gift of having a team, a website, a white book, and a powerful roadmap. But after that I just joined the gift that has a strong project. This is the best thing to avoid scams.

I know what you are saying and there is nothing you can do but to try to be more careful in the future. Because what happened is that you got robbed and you do not know who the thief is. Try to find projects that are trusted by people or that have good teams and good projects. Then hope for the best. 

Many projects overestimate their capabilities, so the ICO does not collect enough money. As a result, they return money to the initial investors and can not pay for the work of bounty hunters. If this is not a fraudulent ICO, then we can only regret the lost time and come to terms with it. If we were deceived by fraudsters, we should unite and decide how we can punish them.

yes I also experienced it, I really hope once at the time specified to receive the token. But it's not as expected because of the delayed time of the next few months, but I still hope that this project is not garbage and I can get token from my project at the right time. Hopefully the gift project is not garbage. But I can take lessons to be more careful in choosing a good and reliable project.

if not paid after bounty program or follow the bounty which at the end of the scam then immediately go elsewhere to look for better results because the risk of bounty participants is so when the occurrence of a scam then our time to be in vain.

Participating in a bounty means we have to accept risks when the project is deceptive or unsuccessful. We can waste our effort, but we do not lose money, the rewards may or may not be available.

It was disappointing to participate in the bounty campaign without getting a reward. I participated in the bounty campaign of Bitpaction. it totaled 8 weeks and at the time of the 7th week. They decided to stop the bounty and not distribute the token to the participants. It is terrible to not receive a token when joining a bounty campaign.

Hello buddy, I know you are frustrated. If you not paid on your bounty task, just report them.

I'm here to help you to find more efficiency on bounty programs and Anti-Spam Managers.

If you want to earn free token, that's the risk because nobody always give you free money ,right ?
As I can see many new ICO project occur so they can't guarantee that they will pay you out.

But if you still stubborn to enroll, make sure that you join more project at one time !

I was  participant of Envion signature campaign(didn't pay at all) and Beluga pay signature campaign (they promise to pay after 1  year, but nobody belives) . I wasted 12 weeks for nothing.

I have participated in many bounties campaigns that at the end did not pay me the tokens I earned. It's very sad and I'm always very angry when I do not send my tokens, but I can not do anything in this situation. Now, I'm also waiting for payment from one project and we only promise our tokens every week!

any job must have a risk, before you join the bounty you must know the risk of scam and not paid. no need to regret what happened. you just need to look for other bounty projects

I remember, there was bounty of Cryptobnb, they dont pay, but they honestly announced it, this is better than to promise and not to fulfill.

as long as possible, try to reach their telegram, try finding an update, as long as they update about the project, have some hope, but dont wait for it, just let your bounty be sent to your wallet.

Recently, a lot of bounty projects are cheating bounty campaign participants and do not pay rewards or pay very little cost.

Be patient for this, I think you get your talking very soon sometimes it happen.

of course I will be very disappointed with events like that. When they do the cheating by trying to dupe us all then I will report them to the forum moderator so that rated negativ

What can be done? Even those who send Ethereum also experience the same thing.
I think choosing a bounty campaign is also important if we are serious about this field. Because there will be no guarantee, and we go at our own risk.

Doing a bounty campaign is like an investment, and sometimes it ends badly.
So it seems like something we will not be able to avoid, and we have to compromise with it.

i know hot it feels, this is the part of this game. Easy money  has some risks,  so we should be ready kind of these things.
Everyone has experienced about kind of scams, ponzi schemes but nothing to do. We should be more carefull while picking projects.

Well It depends some bounty might delay their token distribution because of one reason or the other, I took part in a bounty they were suppose to distribute the tokens long ago but their smart contract was hack so since then they focus on fixing the smart contract issue and have not distributed the tokens till date, I understand with them but some people don't. So it depends on why the bounty did not distribute their tokens.

I also received only five projects from seventeen projects, I'm not very happy that you worked for several months, but in the end I did not get anything, but I believe that this is an experience, and I need to learn from mistakes.

Yes, I know the feeling of being unpaid in a bounty that you send more than months of promoting their project. That is why crypto is falling, but we, the bounty hunters should also know the risk we took in this industry.

Not every bounty brings money to the followers. Unfortunately some cannot reach their targets, some are scam, some decide to not pay after gathering enough money. So there is greed emotion in bounty owners too

The secret is to not give up, and to continue to diversify the bounties that you are doing. There will be campaigns that will do great and will give you a nice reward, which will compensate for the projects that didn't pay you.

there are so many bounties scam , so i think its a normal condition , there is nothing that you can do except recieve it, try to find another bounties , keep going forward dude

In this market, everyone is involved in any projects, I check everything in detail before going there, of course everything is very bad, you spent a lot of time in this project and you just ignore and do not pay you tokens

Very few projects pay on time and without unnecessary problems. The main part delays deadlines, some projects reduce the award for bountyhunter (Sapien). Some don't pay only bounty hunters. Some don't pay anyone at all (scam. for ecsampre - Denaro). Guessing is difficult here. As a rule, in each bounty there is a telegram channel, where you can ask about payments. But the risk of getting anything for work is very high

There are often delayed distributions of bounty, but when they pay at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. If bounty is scam, well it measn the project is scam and you you should have done better research

If earlier among the bounty campaigns scammers came across rarely. Now every second bounty campaign does not bring income to its participants. This is very bad.

If there's an issues that I'm already scams in my participated projects I'm about to message the admin first to confirmed I blelieve joining in bounties is all about luck or good choosing ability of projects. To prevent unpaid in bounty I rather to read first the project before participating in by next involvement.

That happens sometimes, dont worry about it, just keep going! More projects, more opportunities.

Can only wait and be patient I can do because it all takes time and process, if the time is over will definitely be paid if the project is not a scam, if not yet paid while others have been paid then we must report it to the admin from the project.

Legit ICO should pay bounties, I participated in BitPaction exchange bounty and probably they will not send bounty rewards, so how can we trust them when they chetaing their bounty participants?

The only way to secure yourself from such nearly-scam bounties is make a detailed analysis of the campaign before entering it.

You should ask the following questions:
- what are the unique features of the product offered by the project?
- will the product be demanded by end users?
- does the project team have any positive background in working with cryptocurrencies?
- what is the price of the token?
- when will the tokens be paid after the end of the bounty?
- are there any special efforts I should make to get my reward (register somewhere or separately request the tokens withdrawal)?

Generally the answers could be found in telegram group or on website of the project.

Good luck.

i know it is almost impossible to stay away from trash and scam projects but we can reduce to chance of encounter . I think ten high quality campaigns are better than 50 random campaigns . So i think we should spend more time for research .

I guess you should look and check out other bounty that is going to give you a good pay. Cryptocurrency right now is on downtrend position some companies aren't give their best stake to their bounty hunters. You should do your own research before joining any campaign.

Some bounty campaigners are getting angry coz they haven't receive their stake/salary at the first place. But if you going to look at the situation of bitcoin and cryptocurrency, Developers will able to delay the submission of bounties that's quite ridiculous.

I often find bounty projects that are fraudulent, and I never follow that project until the end if the project is a positive fraud. if in the middle of the campaign I know that the project I'm following is a fraudulent project, I left it and continue looking for another bounty campaign. it does not make me sad, because I consider it a risk of my job as a bounty hunter.

a lot of bounty campaigns that have been carried out lately are fraudulent, or they are just projects that are useless and just spending the nerves of both investors and bounties. This is the reverse side of the medal of bounty campaigns. Yes, there are no special skills for participation there, but wrong selection of the project is fraught with unpaid rewards and time spent. just carefully choose projects, and the well-deserved reward will not take long :)

I have a bounty campaign that was finished last January, they told us that in 2 weeks they will distribute the bounty rewards. Until now, no bounty reward has been given and they keep on telling us that it's been moved and they don't have a specific date to announce when will be the distribution. We can't do anything against them because they are the only one who's holding all the records and the bounty rewards. The only thing we can do is wait and wish that they'll give it us soon.

This bounty that are scam is such a waste of time.. but we need to accept the truth, even we spent most of our time to advertise their projects we could not deal with it, then we should accept, thats crypto anything will have a risks.

When I first started bounty then took part in many such projects. now I'm experienced and better select projects. See the team in the first place. then how much the project solves the problems of the current crypto market and you will be less likely to fall for scams.

bounty is one of a good way to earn money. to be honest this is a work which has a risk, especially if they do not pay us, we can't do anything. many reasons which make they not pay, an example they do not reach their softcap, if this happens we must understand, because we can't demand anything from them. that's why participant should to can choose a bounty campaign which has a good project.

Recently, I have such cases have been increasing. The main thing is not to stop and continue

And how to deal with this? Is that only to forget. ICO projects are very difficult to survive, because the market has fallen

that's the thing that can make everyone angry, but I think we should release them because we can't do anything, even if we get the tokens we will not have the market anyway, so my advice is to focus on the bounty we are following now

you can not do much against a scam bounty. therefore you have to inform yourself about the bounty beforehand. but i admit, the scams are getting better and harder to recognize.

It seems to me that if every time you are deceived you will forgive these people, then such an attitude you will never achieve anything. You will continue to deceive each time.

Not all the bounties always turn out to be successful. At times it may not be the fault of the manager cos they also do the campaign based on the facts they get from the project developers

In my opinion i have few problems to get my rewards by signature campaign first is after my bounty project end i need to wait ico sales end ,and after about  2 mounths i get rewarded...Second story is i didn't collect any rewards after bounty,ico end project got closed ,becose they dont rich soft cap..

Every bounty campaign is such as the lottery. You didn't know before starting the project will pay tokens or it's a scam. Near 30-50 percent of bounty, campaigns are not good. If you got a token from this project they also not have a good price and you will spend time in empty.

Have you ever participated in a scam bounty? Were the bounties you participated successful? Did the bounty reach its hardcap? There are numerous bounties I have participated since I came into the crypto currency business and there are a number of them that are scam. I felt much pain when I participated fully in a bounty and was realized it was a scam. Have you ever encountered such experience before? 

Bounty companies that do not pay a lot, and even more airdrops. To make money in this market in this way you just need to participate in more companies. Some of them do not realize their potential, some will be Scam, some may not appreciate your work. That's OK. Do not worry about it, and go further.

if unpaid bounty problem is because of low crowdfunding then, that is our bounty hunter problem. you should give patience for unsuccessful project. the  main problem is scam project.
I think BTT should filtered bounty section for some trusted manager.. at least have a minimum rank specified to create a post. for Bounty manager with created for just one project (eg. name is the project itself), it should be moderator task to filtered that one project will scam or not.

if it happen to me, I would assume it a risk that I should to take as a bounty hunter because every job has its own risk. so next time I will be more carefully in choosing a bounty or signature campaign. its better if we do research about the bounty before joining that bounty.

In this month at all some madhouse is happening.Many projects delay payment or accrual of tokens.This is already beginning to strain.I don't like not keeping my word.They said within 30 days of payment-please make these payments.

I have happened more than once, but I think that this is connected with the KYC because before they appeared I had practically no problem and got rewards for my work.

yes, this is one of the risks you must take. but bounties are usually take what you earn with them. but risk is there all the time.

I've heard about unpaid bounty. Hoping that i will not experience that.

Yes, there are now really frequent cases of companies stop paying and do not keep their word, but what can we do in this situation, we still hope for honesty of people

Well having a bounty means that we are also taking risk on it, it is normal since if it will become successful then all our efforts will become successful too, let us just support what we are joining at for it to become successful.

I had one bounty campaign that failed and one that's also a scam. It sucks but I just brushed it off. There's no use moping or feeling bad about it when it's already happened. I just try to learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistake.

There were also bounty campaign that paid thier participants but turned scam lol Its funny how it all can turn things fucked. Shits happen as they say.

I have joined a campaign like SelfPay and a lot of the users here in the forum were replying to the thread about the team scamming ICo funds. But now they are back where they are now legit in Singapore government. Some shits can turn out to be a good investments too. :)

Unpaid bounties are actually going to scam accusation and the ico will be badly affected because there are a lot of participants who are going to complain about the current ico who just scam their own participants.

Just move on that is why people shouldn't really consider bounty as their source of income,
Bounty rewards sometimes gets delayed or worst the bounty becomes scam so never leave your real job for bounty.

I often join the garbage project where participants should be paid after the token sale expires but the developer team runs off and of course a scam.
I was last fooled by the "dirt" project of kora

Mistakes is not bad at all rather it’s a practice for a newbie, if you do mistake participating in scam ICO projects you better learn from it. This is the reality you need to know about cryptocurrency, we are all have the responsibility in our own act or moves in joining whatever bounty you want. Pointing is useless, just move on and let go the mistake you have made then next you have the idea which is really a scam bounties.

Yes, there will be the scam bounty, failed bounty, and successful bounty. If the ICO of the bounty that we are following is a scam, we work for free. We will not get any payment and no reward or thanks from the developer because they are gone. When an ICO is failed, we will not get any payment too but they will commonly tell us. Then, for the successful ICO, we will get the reward.

To be honest, we can't do something about but to accept. What's bad is even reputable managers are supporting scam projects and they don't care about you after because at the end of the day they are paid. I know some of them because I've been part of their campaigns.

It is really so heartbreaking and disappointing, but just know that in life, not everything will go as you planned. You have to be prepared for the negative bit too. Also out there, there are good paying projects and bounties. You just have to do thorough research of the project before participating in its bounty.

All you need to do is move on and learn from it. The next time you join in Bounty Canmpaign, try to make a search regarding their project. Read their WP and know the team. Be deligent and dont loose hope. There are still many good projects out there

Technically there is nothing you can do about it apart from leaving a negative trust to bounty manager and other project related profiles. As I always say, one must do the research before joining bounty campaign as they are researching for an ICO to invest. You put your time if not money for the project.

At first i'm disappointed knowing you did your part to advertise their project, but that's part of the process we cant do anything about it so no other choice but to move on and find another one that is worth for our time and effort. Better to not dwell in the past instead use that experience to become more careful in choosing the project so you wont end up in scam bounty. There are many thread here on how to choose the right bounty/ICO its a big help especially for newbies thus search for it to learn more.

Sadly all we can do is to wait and hope that the bounty campaign does not actually scam our time and effort. Most of the bounty campaign tends to not give their rewards immediately due to strategic reasons and some is unfortunate issues like mine which the campaign have problems regarding its underwriters thus delaying the token's listing in the market. So far it keeps me at ease by continuously updating through their telegrams hoping for good news to come.

We can not do anything, when the bounty that we follow is a scam you can only give up. We can not stop them, we can only warn others to be careful with their scam site. This kind of thing happens very often, it happens to bounty hunters, that's why there are reviews like ico rating, icobench etc so we can choose ico which really works.

Yes. Thats true and there are so many scam projects. You have to extremely careful when you select the bounty to do. I used to follow below mentioned procedure to identify the genuine bounty campaigns.

1) Use below mentioned websites to find the best bounty campaigns. These websites are publishing good ICO's and we can do that ICO's bounty campaigns.
    www.icobench.com
    www.icotracker.com
    www.icodrops.com
2) After selecting ICO's from the above sites normally i read all the whitepapers to get the clear idea.
3) Then i read their road map and team members as well
4) Follow all the social media channels and join the telegram groups to know the updates
5) Get the ideas from Cryptocurrency experts
6) Do only projects from good bounty managers.

Further bitcoin talk forum is also the good platform for select the bounty campaign and you can choose good bounty campaigns and do. These days there is a good bounty campaign called "Eloncity" and you also can participate by clicking this link >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4443361

I would not say bounty is dead. But it has become much more competitive. With the sheer amount of hype, and participants. The reward is much2 less than last year. With the growth of cryptocurrency and the budget of the bounty is stagnant, that is why you fell like u're getting much2 less. With participants with legendary or similar ranks does not really feel it, but with Jr. Member / Members, the amount is getting much smaller. I would suggest to avoid doing bounty full time if u have a low ranking account.

very disappointing is the fact that now there are very few bounty campaigns that bring good revenue, most simply stop the campaign or cancel it, and even more simply transfer the terms for several months in front, even before the autumn.

We cannot hold the fact that several bounty are looks good because of the reward that they offered but ended as scam. Just a tip for you to avoid joining some bounty campaigns which were bogus and scam, you need to be a good observant, be mindful and be wiser in joining a specific bounty campaign so you can able to get paid and earn.

This is a consequence that I must accept in participating in crypto. Especially for me, the same thing will be felt by the perpetrator. Only positive guys.

It's difficult to know if that bounty campaign you join is a scam, check the ICO first if that ICO is legit, but even there are some legit ICO it could be fail because they don't reach their target cap so we will not rewarded in bounty, well let's hope that the bounty campaign we join is successful.  

I came across bounty campaigns that did not pay about half a year. But a miracle happened, all the campaigns paid and I'm very happy.

Normally very pissed and want to fly out of the country and see the creator and punch the face of the scammers. But this is impossible. Maybe better to ask question and what is the reason what the delay is. I think they will make a second thought of not releasing the token. Most especially if their rank is quite high. I think before an ICO is approved rank must be included in the qualification. This will lessen scammers.

While market is bearish unpaid bounties are everywhere.
I think bounty rewards must be escrowed at the start of project.
So no one will work for free.

it is usual thing anymore because there are many scammers here and fake icos so they want to take your time in order to make money for themselves so dont join wihtout searching.

according to this, all members must have experienced the same thing as you. we must be able to know whether a project or not. it's easiest to know if a project is a Bounty manager. but there is also a scam. so If the team decides not to pay a bounty to the hunters, then you can not do anything. Fight for your rights of course you need.

yeah there are some bounty campaigns which promised to distribute tokens in time according to their roadmap, but that promised is not met. Due to some issues like SEC regulations, bounty computations, stakes computation or developer issue.

Usually we should wait. You can go to the bounty telegraph and ask about it.

Rewards are usually paid, but some situations are inevitable, such as when the project doesn't reach the soft hat. There is no reward in this case. So we must choose potential projects when we choose rewards.

When we participate in bounty and we get unpaid bounty, it is one of the risks that we must receive. In participating in bounty, there are upsides. First, we will get the rewards and earnings. Second, we will get nothing. For unpaid bounty, it is normal and many face it. But, it should be the lesson to be better in choosing the right bounty.

To avoid unpaid bounty research first before joining the bounty and be careful because there are many scams now...Just keep going and try another project. there are many good project out there...

Doing bounty always have the risk and everyone is vulnerable on it so be picky on choosing one. See the team if legit like if the people behind it are all real and breathing. So yeah if you got scam just move on and forget what happened as surely something good must be bound to happen to you.

Just join bounty at your own risk.

Nothing that we could do, that is why we called our self a bounty hunters which mean if we got the rewards then its good but if we don;t get the rewards, we find other else.

I have experienced what you feel, so I am sorry for what happened to you, but I am sure from this experience we know that not all bounty will get the results and provide benefits for us, but surely there will be other bounty that will provide benefits for we, then suppose bounty they do not pay as a free donation to the ICO.

I guess find another bounty and accept the fact that you have been scammed.

This is the risk of joining failed ICOs. Your hard work will not pay off if you joined the wrong bounty as it cant pay you. We should always review every campaign that we are joing to not waste our efforts or lessen the percent of being not paid.

it's all been a risk of us who follow bounty, whether it's a signature campaign or bounty facebook and twitter ..
because we will not be able to do anything to find clarity so that the token is immediately distributed ..

I've experience a bounty that not paid me, that day was when im just newbie in participating in bounty,. And even i've enough knowledge in doing this i can still encounter a scam bounty or abandon bounty. I thinkl the right thing to do before you join to bounty campaign is to check all the details, or else its better to trust only to those manager of the bounty that you know very well to avoid being scam. Just keep participating until you found a good Bounty campaign because there still alot of them you can trust.

it can not be over emphasized. it has become a standard that the bounty on a scale of one to ten, only about four tend to keep to their agreement, even reputable bounty managers now encounter challenges with the developers and teams not keeping to their own part of the bargain and when you complain directly to the project team they tell you they will get back to you and it all ends there. too bad

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about such terrible situation. You can't complain to anybody because nobody  cares and noone will make things just. So, you can only choose your bounties more careful...

I will feel bad about my unpaid bounty because you have exerted time and effort for the reward. However, I don’t need to dwell on it because it will not help me. Instead I will try to participate again with another bounty. But this time, I will thoroughly check the details of the project and the team to lessen the chance of being unpaid.

Yes, I have met projects that do not distribute the token after the end of the ICO as they promised. Waited many days and then disappointed. Very sad about this.

It's easy, find another bounty and start over. Before following a bounty campaign, we already know that some projects are scams.
Perhaps those who have long been in this field have a similar experience, and perhaps even more than once. But the fact that does not hinder their success.

you can't do anything. all you can do is hope that in the future you will be better in choosing ico. we must learn to choose the ico that has good prospects in the future. make the previous problem as a learning in the future. keep calm and trying to keep looking for a good ico. I hope you'll find a legit ico.

What are some things you look for when choosing a good bounty?

Unfortunately from such nobody is insured. An ordinary person can not do anything. I think all that can be done is to measure and work on, it is better not to dwell on one not successful campaign.

It can happen, that after ICO of a scam project the 'managers' just disappear with the collected money and they won't give you any tokens... It is the risk of the bounty program, but you should be aware of this.
Best is if you speak with the company before advertising their ICO. More or less you can decide if it is scam or not..
It is worse if you invest into scam project. Than you loose your money, during the bounty you just loose the invested time.

Will if that happen we cant do anything on that. But we must learn a lesson that not all ico are legit. We must read or analys the ico. It will be good if you ask some professional on it. Or go to ico rating site so you will know the ratings of the ico

i have experienced it many times, start from the project is scams, bounty manager not fair/unpaid, so start form it im learning to choose good bounty project and manager bounty, because if you get it you cant do anymore, whatever you want you still cant that's already risk in bounty

Unfortunately, you are not the first person who is upset by such circumstances, when the bounty does not collect the required amount, they can either extend their bounty company or close and not pay to anyone. This unfortunately happens.

That was really a big disappointment but i think we don't have a choice because we are just bounty hunters and taking the risk by joining in any campaign. This is just my opinion.

Unfortunately, almost no project sends tokens on time!
Most often, tokens come when they are already traded on the stock exchange, and when they fall in price several times

I consider bounty not as a job but as a hobby so if we join bounty long enough but not get paid then I can be calm but I also feel grateful because bounty that I follow only one who scam

And do not worry to much. It is quite normal today. Ico and bounty are min 50% scam. Just continue to work or forget about this market.

  Dealing with a fact that you have been scammed is not so simple. People
invest time and effort and when they don't get the prize they fall in depression,
some are furious. I believe the best thing someone can do is to listen both of
you, no worries, no despairing, putting that behind and moving on is the best
solution.
   I recommend one more thing. Publicly speak about that ICO, make scam
accusation against their team. Share as much info about them as you can,
maybe they can be useful in tracking scammers and their future projects.

Bounties are being paid depending on the quality of your work. If the bounty manager finds your work as low quality or just an imitation of others most likely you will not get paid.

Hi. Could you please comment on following situation. You are talking about low quality of work, but what should I do, when I ask bounty manager to explain, why my work is low quality or show high quality one for comparison. And for questioning that I got simply banned from bounty and rceived 0.

hi guy, i know your point and i also have same concern like you! I do some bounty by my hard work, but that bounty scam. Maybe you know Uchit bounty, i do the Uchit bounty from primary time, but now Uchit scam. So disappointed!

I participated in such bowing campaigns that just fed me up with the protesters and did not send me any tokens at the end. It's very dinner when you work for several months, and at the end you do not get anything.

Usually this is done so that bounty hunters do not sell tokens, usually tokens are sent 1-2 months after the end of the bounty of the company.

Some of bounty projects do that they are fooling us we participated them from the begining until the end but they cant paid it off. Promises are meant to be broken stop doing that we are not robots to follow your command without paying us. Please be aware always.

will,mostly often happen me in the time,when i participate in some bounty hunting,and if those i followed and advertise is a scam ICO project,i only managed this as a charge of experience,because for me everthing have a risk, thats whysometimes in our life we could become a victim in scamming,and not worthy project,because they are not professional to there promise or agreements to the bounty participants.

If you got a token from bad project, they also not have a good price and you will just spent your time for nothing, so you better check some rules about every bounty            

Recently more and more I meet that tokens delay or do not send at all

This is the risk of joining failed ICOs. Your hard work will not pay off if you joined the wrong bounty as it cant pay you. We should always review every campaign that we are joing to not waste our efforts or lessen the percent of being not paid.

Yes i see , there are many people complaining that some companies don't pay there bounties and we cant do anything with this. I think there must be proper regulations regarding this.

Someone Said that if u dont get the bounty u that is a scam but for me its a lesson because i trusted the campaign too much.

Some ICO failed and some are scam.  After efforts campaigning their projects it turns out nothing. When i had that experience, i become more careful choosing ICO. i always check their white paper, telegram and social media campaigns if all of them are active and if it has a good product.

Many of bounty campaigns is such as gambling, you didn't know before starting the project will pay tokens or it's a scam, near 30-50% of bounty campaigns aren't good            

 I have an experience like that, so one particular bounty didn't pay me for my job done for the project, but this was caused by misunderstanding and me failing the deadline of passing kyc.

I think before doing any bounty work for a company you should analysis this company,s details .And carefully read their whitepaper. 

Sorry buddy. Shit happens. I can feel your pain. After the work/effort that has been invested in the bounty, it can be quite disheartening when the dev decides to pull a fast one on bouty participants. Keep going there's light at the end of the tunnel

bounty that is not paid certainly will make us a little disappointed. But that is sometimes not entirely our fault. Often we are careful but if the project fails when the path is not our fault. Indeed the project is destined to fail. If so we must gladly accept the failure of the project that we certainly will not receive payment.

Cant say that receiving 2-3$ for a half year twitter/FB bounty can be clasified as a little disappointment. It better to lose time doing 4 week bounty campaing for scam project and receive 0, than spend half year and get few dollars lol.

in recent years, large and well-known bounty cut generosity and come up with their fraudulent schemes, pull to the last and do not pay anything. it is very insulting, because I write articles and it takes me three hours to write an article and I am not awarded for my work

Just move on accept what you've done. After all you are the one who trust that ICO so accept it. Make it motivation to find better ICO that would never scam you again. Goodluck to us mate and have a good year.

Last year it happened to me several times not to be paid after having participated in the bounty campaigns, this year with experience only a few times. It is the main risk of bounty hunters, so we must try to select very carefully the bounty campaigns by choosing only those with a value project, and a high quality team, to avoid scams

I've been through a lot of this kind of deception, and every time I do it, I will not give it to him, just in case. Then, stick with it until now.

How we can participate in more project if the signature campaign only can join by one signature or 1 account.
I dont many suggestion on how to make the bounty will pay us or not. All because the good or bad company has bad team.

There are more and more fraudsters for the bounty activities. This is the last position. If you go on like this, I am afraid that no one will believe these bounty activities again. Then the advertising effect of the project party will be reduced.

Morpheus still put us on hold, always promising tokens "next week". I think bounty hunters should punish teams not willing to pay what they promised. Otherwise, we'll have all.me situation happening all over again. Sadly, once a team see all those millions on account, they forgot who put them there in the first place.

Sometimes it happens. The only thing you can is sending message to bounty manager and keeping track of it regularly. You should regularly ask for the bounty. Once, I experienced the similar situation and took to tokens in the end.

The feeling is unexplainable. The Fact that your hoping to get paid. The Moment that you feel betrayed.
As they destroyed your trust, there is nothing i could explain. Just Complete Despair.
But then again, its not the end of the world. Charge to experience. And think and hope the next bounty you could participate, is a legitimate one.
Think Positive!

Some of the campaign hosts have started using terms and condition for participation, the truth is if the project you are campaiging for do not reach hard cap the campaign can not pay you. Soft cap at least before any other thing can be negiotated.

Dealing with that situation is really hard. We are here promoting their projects so we are expecting something in return, so I think the least we can do is research first about the project before counting yourself in. Working without pay is really frustating.

I torment managers with questions, there is no need to cope with this, we have to fight against this.

Not much you can do about it, post the website on some scam sites if you feel like. Have to just do more bounties to make up for it.

There are many of them that are scam,when i just starting hunting i have experience of some of them which they will find intangible excuse in order not to pay, i do not know if  ALMBank,TWIST and BUY&SELL will pay me tommorrow,just to mention but few.

very annoying to find a bounty project like that we can not do anything they do not appreciate the performance already done in the participants who need to remember is the names of people in it so as not to enter the same hole

we can not do much because of it. because of that, we have to really choose which project we are going to follow, and if I am, I will remember some of their developers or bounty manager and so on I will no longer join the same bounty manager

Just to forget it as there was nothing that we can do about it. I have experienced with so many airdrops and bounties, which I did not got tokens, which I campaigned. These are scam or failed coins or unsuccessful ICOs.

This is not something alienated with bounty or airdrop participants. Scam projects are flooded with bounty campaigns. That is a bad thing when you join this work. Unfortunately, that is inevitable.

why the bonuses are cool and not only cool in Socratus your chances will increase and not only Socrates this new movement

In my opinion, most bounty campaigns slow down the distribution of tokens to avoid the instant sales from bounty hunters. Normally, they wait for the tokens to be listed on a stock exchange and then hand them out.

It's quite unfortunate that such things still happen in the crypto platform . That's exactly why we are advised to he absolutely cautious when it comes to the bounty programs you participate in, in the recent past there has been a rise  in bounty scams, those are the type that don't pay for rewards. The best thing is they should be named and ashamed for not keeping their work

And at the same time tokens are distributed in parts by month or even more. I think it's even good, since bounty hunters will not be able to significantly affect the price of the token.

actually there is not much that bounty participants can do in this cases. if the project is scam, believe me you are much luckier than real investors. if they couldnt reach thesoftcap target, they can not pay to bounty hunters.

If they follow this method then it's good for bounty participants because we no need to wait for months to list that token in exchanging sites immediately we can convert our tokens. But now new tokens are not listing in any exchanges so if they paid also no use.

Well, there is really nothing you can do about it, you have to man up and accept the situation, it comes nothing good out of being stressed out and angry, move to the next bounty and learn from your mistakes in the future.

It is very unfortunate that after working for the promotion of a project, the promised bounty allocation is not paid. I think, if this continue without any deterrent action on them, bounty programs will face a big challenge in the future.

It always feel very bad when we did not receive the reward after doing all the specific task and we can not do anything to get rewards because there can be a reason we did not get reward whether project did not achieve their soft cap or hard cap even I don't think we should blame only bounty manager for this after all its our fault also we did not due diligence the project before participation as we all know every project is not been always successful so it's better to move on.

There are different variations:
- some development teams issue tokens 2 months after the ICO. By the time bounty hunters receive their tokens, the project already has a listing on several (normal) exchanges, but the coin rate is lower than the ICO price since the developers or advisers themselves sold their tokens;
- some projects do not collect the required amount and start to blame the bounty hunter, trying to reduce pool bounty campaign (although the amount was agreed in dollars);
- some projects do not pay and do not communicate with the bounty managers;
- bounty managers cheat developers and bounty hunters, take all the tokens oneself;
- etc.
We must be prepared for any situation.
We need a trade Union ;D

I also experienced the same thing with you, after following the project but the payment has not been done, and many projects that break the promise or not in accordance with what is conveyed in the rule project.

The problem you encountered was bad, but almost bounty hunter is inevitable so I think you should not be too sad. That will bring you experience. ICO projects are pretty much in line with bounty campaigns, so you need to make a choice before joining. If you meet the scam project, if you know early, you can stop and warn people.

Most bounties don't really take up too much time, it's very unlikely that you would have spent more than around 10-15 minutes per day on the bounty, even that is unrealistic, probably 5 minutes per day for the most part. There is nothing you can do, a lot of ICOs simply fail, and hence will not pay out their bounty, or if they turn out to be a scam, nothing you can do either. That's why you should be participating in multiple high quality bounties at once, so it's unlikely they will all fail.

You have to do bounties with this risk that it could be scam, it could not reach Soft Cap, manager could do it by himself only and not connected to the ICO, that's why you should do more for example twitter or facebook bounties to avoid 0 earned tokens. Of course Signature is then very risky.

This is the risk that bounty hunters have to take when signing up to a new bounty project. There are a number of reasons why payment will be cancelled, not just the softcap or scam issue, some are just ass-hats that refuse to pay out of meanness.

Not all ICO will lead to a success, everyone in the crypto space must have been scam or loss money either way, as a bounty hunter you must act like an investor,research before taking part in a campaign in order to minimize being involve in  scam ICO. There is little or nothing you can do about unpaid Bounty, except you want to report the bounty manager on Bitcointalk.

This is already happening everyday almost to bounty hunters, especially with the starters in this field. That's why it is highly recommended that you study carefully the ICO project firstly before joining its bounty campaigns, because if the project is not promising it will not reach even the soft cap most likely or it will turn into scam shortly.

It is really sad, after bounty hunters have dedicated their time, energy and data to promote a particular project with all their commitment promoting the project and creating awareness , at the end of the day, the project refuse to pay.

Of course if you're doing one project you're very upset, and when you do projects 50-60 then you will not be so much hurt

You just have to accept the fact that such uncertainty is possible to happen. Jist accept and learn from it because that's the only thing that you can do within such a situation. There are many cases with regards to your problem but it won't be enough to generalize that all bounties are the same. Next time, try to check the background of the main team to help you make assumptions about the project.

This is the worst thing in joining bounty after you gave your time promoting their projects then ends up with nothing well we couldnt help the situation, lets accept the fact and move on, experience made us into a better person, next time you can join a lot of campaigns so that it wont hurt you a lot if theres bounty wont pay you.

I don't think we can do something , if project appear to be a scam . This is the reason , why crypto must be regulated by rules and laws . When crypto will be regulated and all projects will be registered properly , investors and bountyhunters will be protected by law and will be able to bring a claim to court for a compensation in case of fraud.

This is not strange in this forum :). Although this a the best forum about Bitcoin but there are so many scammers in here :). I also see so many scam bounty campaigns in here as well. You just need to report these bounty campaigns at Scam Accusations section to let DT member or Moderators know about it :). I think you should stop hoping about receive token from these bounty campaigns :D

this is the worst possible scenario. but in every portessie has its risks, and in our case there is a risk of bounty select a company that could be a Scam! but I still believe that there are not many!

This situation is really worst. We cant conclude that those campaign we are participating are legit or scam. This must be expected by each of us. Just accept this fact that some projects existed can be worthy and some are not.

Yes, some bounties refuse to pay out sometime. But the problem is that people let them get away with it. There are legal options at your disposal; even if the project is not based in your country. Time to start fighting back!!

Currently, there are a lot of ICO scam bounties. Formerly known as an ICO is Envion, although the ICO campaign is very successful but does not pay for bounty members. And now it's almost 6 months since the campaign ended that bounty members have not received rewards. Therefore, the ICO campaign selection is essential.

Well there is nothing you can do about it. You could just lay down and cry because of wasted efforts. In recent bounty there are too much scam project and there are also project that end up closing since didn't sell enough coins in order to run their project. This is why bounty right now is like ICO you need to study it so that youll be joining a quality and fine bounty.

unfortunately, we're here to deal with fraud. but after all fraud you can meet not only in the world of cryptography, it is enough around us! only here you will certainly not be able to punish the person who lied to you! this is a huge disadvantage of the work!(

Any new industry is a big lottery at the very beginning, so I don't pay much attention to it. Such losses remind your about importance of scrupulous analysis of any project you take part in

Some of bounty always say it takes time to distribute our token because there's a lot of participants. I think all bounty is like that even scam or not they always late to distribute the token to bounty hunters because they know that it may cause of dumping to their token when it listed.

if the project is good , and he promised to pay, he will fulfill the promise, I just wait for the tokens to come, and if it is a Scam, then I just forget about him.

I and couple and some others got scammed from a bounty, they just paid some and decided not to pay others, if it was over unaccepted work it would have be no problem but the work was accepted and calculated and they just did not want to pay and bring up all excuses to avoid paying, they first required us to send mails we registered with, which we did then, then they claimed that they did not receive any emails, which is not true because I had screens for the email sent, and even there admin at telegram confirmed that they got my email, I was one of the biggest payments so I know why the acted that way, I decided not to open scam against them because there was people invested in this project and if they got bad reputation the only people gonna get hurt is probably the people invested in the project specially since it was only couple of days away to get listed at Hitbtc ( any bad image might had changed how the token gonna be traded )  so I decided to let it go since I only lost time and effort, but others might lose money they invested . I believe there was some users with same situation as me because I received some PM asking me about what we gonna do, anyway I will dig and try to find the screens I had ( it was more than 8 months ago) and if I found them I will edit this thread with project name and screens .

Many of bounty campaigns is such as gambling, you didn't know before starting the project will pay tokens or it's a scam, near 30-50% of bounty campaigns aren't good. I have an experience like that, so one particular bounty didn't pay me for my job done for the project, but this was caused by misunderstanding and me failing the deadline of passing kyc. Some ICO failed and some are scam.

Again, this is something that each bounty hunter should prepare himself for. Not all projects will become successful and not all projects are legit. Which is why we should be smart and vigilant at the same time when choosing projects. It is frustrating to have wasted our time in a failed or scammy project. But that is just one of the risks we are bound to take if we want to earn in this market.

That was worst scenario that you give a time to post and try your best to follow their rules but at the end that was scam or they are not send the token so its hard to us that happening so be careful always on what you are joining in bountys.

But the others bounty they send a token but the exchange almost 5 months theirs is no update about that exchange.

It feel worst but we need to keep trying when we want to gain profit.
Not all bounty will pay you and not all bounty can pay right away some will pay you after a year or so.

it's pretty sad when bounties don't pay of well and its hurts to see all the hard work and the time we put in go to waste from our side it is also more painful to know that what we supported was a scam so initial decisions should be taken before joining a bounty program

I have never felt paid for the services we have given. That's sad. Bounty who does not pay us may be their project failed or they are scam. If you already know so better diikhlaskan only. Assume we help them.

Faced with this situation, we are in no help at all. The bounty mission has not given us any promise from the beginning. I always think that doing rewards is like gambling! What do you think?

Sometimes the project does not succeed to achieve goals within the date on which the ICO ends. Even in the cases when you have studied fully before joining the bounty this situation can happen and all your time is actually lost in vain. If you have an unpaid bounty, just report the bounty manager on Scam Accusation board or Reputation board.

We all have just to move on and look for a better bounty. In the first place we cant really be sure if it's going to be successful or if it's not a scam.

If it proves to be a scam then forget and leave. There is no point expecting anything like that again if it's been proven it will not pay. immediately switch and switch to another bounty because of many more products and proven real pay. at least also could certainly learn from experience in selecting a nice bounty.

In addition to the gift of a scam, a slow project in carrying out its duties also makes the payment process to the participants and the investors to be late. It makes us part of it to be anxious about the clarity of the project because it makes us think negatively that the project was a scam. But judging from a project that does not pay or does not pay to its participants and investors, it reflects that the team in it does not have a good level of performance, thus impacting the results of its project is also not high value. Because if there is a delay in one of the stages, it will produce another stage which will also be too late.

It's a tough loss but it must not stop you from pursuing bounty campaigns. Take note of what was wrong on that campaign and learn to avoid if you saw those red flags. Always check the team of the ICO and follow some plan B's whenever you think something is off.

I am very upset and upset, it happened to me several times, but it's a shame when your work is not profitable, but this happens and is not rare. try to contact the Manager and ask for answers to your questions.

Move on and find another bounty campaign, that is we need to do if the current bounty that you are joining is a  scam. Base on my experience, if the campaign that I participate is a scam the best thing to do is leave and forget about it, because there are many bounties are really profitable that you can join.

This is often a matter of luck. Some teams will agree to your complaint and eventually give you shares, some will ignore you, or will not give you at all, they just find reasons. So now you need to do a lot of research in advance.

That is risk for bounty hunter...free and get coin..if their project not succes we will unpaid from developer coin..that is risk for bounty hunter..dont panic...search new bounty and spirit do their task.

I have bit much experience about this. This year with experience only a few times. It is the main risk of bounty hunters, so we must try to select very carefully the bounty campaigns by choosing only those with a value project, and a high quality team, to avoid scams. For me this is the worst year than since i got many unpaid campaign.

But a lot of people will be deeply regretted because they have been working for ICO scam projects for a long time. So maybe they will lose faith in the bounty campaign on bitcointalk

This is the worst feeling ever, working for a bounty 6 to  8 weeks and at last either they are not paying the hunters or not paid the tokens on given time.No worse feeling than that.

There are a few bounties where this happen. I can understand and accept it from bounties who do not have reached their soft cap. In such situation is it normal that they do not pay, but there are some bounties who have reached their hard cap and do not pay.

Usually, I will ask question to developer project. Maybe between bounty manager and developer have miscommunication. If don't have the solution, I will report bounty manager and that project such as Tokenpay.

Some of my relatives they unpaid bounty maybe the all price of all coin is low thats why they did not unload of there bounty .

It's a bad experience, I have participated in about 3 bounties that ended up being scam. I regretted wasting my time and energy on them.

Not all projects are legit. Want to make money from the bounty, you have to take a deep understanding of the project before joining.
Some projects have too many bounty participants, so they often take a lot of time to calculate as well as remove multiple account scammers, so a little delay in distributing bonuses, do not worry worry about that
If there are other people who have been distributed but you are not, then it is probably the bugs in the bonus manager of the project. Contact him (or her) directly or contact the project dev to ask them to check and get back to you.
Good luck!

You need to choose bounty program more carefully. Do researches about the team, project, everything. It will help you to identify scam. And don’t be upset. Hope. Next time you wont have such troubles.

One thing that I have really eluded from is the unpaid bounties. I have participated in so many bounties and at the end they pay though.

Now such a situation that you can not rush to choose a bounty. Because there are almost no promising projects now. They will appear only when bitcoin ceases to fall.

So many bounties not paying according to the promise they did, but i think we should only follow trusted managers for best bounties because they know the credibility of team and project and choose accordingly. Other problem is too many bounties and mostly scams :(

Although the crypto currency is decentralized, I would like to have an escrow center for bounty campaigns, where the team would list the pool of bounty or at least part of it before the beginning of the bounty. So bounty hunters will be sure that they will get something for work. But this is unreal, for now

Do not get upset at once.  Wait a few days, but in any case, remind in a telegram or in another way the manager

Approximately 10% of the bounty will be a fraud. At me approximately so left, on it do not worry, from it nobody is insured. Since there are no regulators, this will always be. Just try to choose good campaigns.

we never know the exact reason why the tokens they give over the bounty are worthless when we try to sell the market or the reason why they have not distributed the tokens, I have experienced what you feel, but I still try to think wisely and positively on the project they do because someday they will pay for what they promised, because they certainly do not want to say project scam, of course there will be a lot of them disadvantage, especially the investors and team work implementing the project.

Sometimes it can be unpaid. There are some reasons of why: one of the popular reasons for unpaid bounty is ICO wasn't successful, another reason can consist in that your wallet adress can be hacker in spreadsheet, or you just promoted a scam that ICO that raised and dissapeared.

What I do is I report the user or the campaign manager in bitcointalk forum with corresponding evidences. If proven right, he/she no longer manage a campaign. As for my personal method, I would just move on and find another campaign from a trusted manager.

Of course it will make you angry, but we have no choice but to move and just charge it to experience, I also had that experience, but from then on I only rely for myself to search for a good Ico not recommended by anyone, just get a list of guidelines and criterias.

if I think the gift that has not been paid in bitcointalk do not worry enough to report to the prize manager on the board Scam Accusation, therefore we must be patient waiting for the right time later also when it's time must be paid.

wait a few days to not happen that is worse, because bounty must still follow us

Mostly scammers. Such projects cannot go anywhere because of trust issues. Just forget about it and move on to the next one. There's no time to cry over spilt milk

Yes, there are several scam bounties who haven't paid anything to bounty hunters but doesn't have anything to do but only thing you have to do is before joining the bounty campaign first review all the previous campaign started by manager and also review the project by their website,telegram and roadmap of project and also check the rank of project manager.

Bounty companies that do not pay a lot, and even more airdrops. To make money in this market in this way you just need to participate in more companies. Some of them do not realize their potential, some will be Scam, some may not appreciate your work, that will OK, don't worie and work bounty it's very nice work!

It is a very unpleasent fact, but, unfortunately, you can not change this. I do not sell most of my bounty tokens and believe that some of them will demostrate a great rising.

what are somethings you look for when choosing a good bounty

Yes I agree, there are really some bounty campaigns that do not pay just like what I’ve experienced with my first ever campaign. Months have passed but I still haven’t heard and received news about even though it was a success campaign.

Bounty companies that do not pay a lot, and even more airdrops. To make money in this market in this way you just need to participate in more companies. Some of them do not realize their potential, some will be Scam, some may not appreciate your work. That's OK. Do not worry about it, and go further.

This is just like BITPACTION BOUNTY CAMPAIGN, until now no updates in the payment of bounty campaign, they reduces the total allocation to X10 then they are not planning to pay us. In situation like this, you must give them a negative reviews on all sites that they have. SHITPACTION SUCKS!

that is a part of the job and that is the risk we are talking here when participating in bounty campaign. It makes anyone upset but just think that atleast you did not spend money after all.

Totally agree with you. I've also been conned as you have. Perhaps it was the same bounty? I have now been scammed about 5 times, and it's so annoying, putting in the work, but at least I didn't create articles - I only do those for a project I truly believe in (about 3 to date!).

My first bounty turned out to be scam. Generally you can do nothing in such case. You should treat such situation as a good studying. Read more about ICO and project before strating any campaign...

normally they have specified time which they will pay the bounty participants, i mean in some bounty program they will give two to three months to get paid after the bounty program have ended. while this process we the bounty participant don't have patient enough to wait till the we get paid. by this we'll keeps on calling them scam project.
i have some project which i participated till now they haven't paid but some have paid me... although those project were last year projects which they are paying this year, now if you are patient enough to wait till now you we all call them scam.

in summary, my advise to you is that you have to be patient till you get paid. secondly give them some time to calculate the stakes and token so that each an everyone will get their required token so that no one will lay complain about his payments.

Carefully approach the choice of bounty campaign. The better you study the project the less chance that you will not be paid. Recently, even popular managers do not give confidence in 100% payment for participation.

It is sad that we have put all our efforts and efforts to devote our efforts to the success of bounty programs as well as ico but then they cheat for us by not breaking the neck. very sad part

yes I think this is a good question I often experience what you are asking. I am very annoyed if I have waited a long time in the ico and no reward rewards are sent. how to get the token and why there is such a gift. it makes me will not the spirit to work. the bounty hunter can only be patient and wait for the token to send it. and questioned her

bounty is like opening a box of chocolate, you'll never knew what you get, i take several bounties at once, and keep maintain it, whenever there is a scam, i stop to work for that bounty and search another one to replace it

We can only continue to try the next task because the bounty hunter is not protected by any law or regulation. Doing anything is our own choice, although I will be angry when I encounter this situation, but I don't blame anyone!

There is nothing we can do to get the token we deserve since even we get the token we can't sell it either so it is still useless. Better to do to make a thread in scam accusation board and make a detailed info about this project and the team involve so in the future people will decide if they still want to join project under them or not.

My first entry in Bitcoin world, I immediately follow the signature and the project was a success. actually the number of tokens already exists but hitherto have not gotten into my wallet and i assume this is a lesson for me.
but I'm not here just give up so I keep trying and finally I can get a gift from one bounty that I follow. it is my experience of unpaid rewards.

gaining experience like this is a risk for bounty players, such as unpaid is a very disappointing thing because we from the beginning do not know if the bounty leads to failure. But we must be careful when choosing bounty, must choose a trusted manager

In any case, you need to analyze the situation, learn from mistakes - your own and others'. The next time you join a Bounty campaign, learn more about the prospects and opportunities of the project in advance.

If this happens, it can be very disappointing as time and resources whey dedicated to promote the project but sometimes, it is good to be patient as some bounty take time to distribute rewards and some do not, you can only learn form this and be extra careful next time when choosing a bounty to participate in.

i did learn from my mistakes but why i still getting scammed on a bounty? i guess scammed on a bounty wont be possibly be avoided because scammers are simply smart. the best thing to avoid being scammed on these bounties is to stop joining them permanently , instead join only campaigns that pays in coins that is already been listed .

 like for example if a campaign pays eth or btc per week but dont forget about cheking their escrow because escrow is still the most important thing in order to avoid a scammed project.

Unfortunately, you can not do anything but you should have learned from it. I do it like this, too. Next time I try to find a bounty campaign that is not scam. Gradually you learn so which ICO you can be trustet and which not. Unluckily, there is no other way. This is learning on the hard way. Unfortunately you can not always recognize scam ICOs before. The scammers are getting better and better and it's really hard to spot all scam ICOs. Falling into a cheater can also happen to very experienced users. Should something like that happen to you, do not let that put you off and look for a good ICO.  ;)

I agree with the topic because a lot and a bounty that no pay token after completion here should have  auditing bounty scam

Before joining bounty we should check everything about project , because we are going to do work for that project for some months and no one do charity for anyone . after many moths of work if we know such things that project was just exit scam or even did not completed ICO successfully then we lose our payment and also it feels very bad that all efforts gone waste .
I saw few bounty managers are managing scam ICOs , i call those ICOs scam because of in experienced team with shady details about project . also in past many ICOs they managed turned out as scam . so bounty manager also should take responsibility .

I think many of us are victims of this and of a truth  that is why majority of cryptocurrencies liver are not really investing because Alot of scamming are going on.  I have promote many bounties that has refused to pay.  I have also invested to some icos that has also refused to distribute the tokens. I think alot need to be done for us to progress on this.

I always think that the bounty task is similar to gambling. We can choose the type of task, but there is no way to choose the result (reward)! I often encounter tasks that don't assign rewards, but I don't have any way to solve this situation!

Previously, it was very difficult to meet projects where you did not pay the money. Now every 3 project deceives its investors and bounty campaign participants.

If there is already a scam accusation then you can post there and warn others about the bounty scam. I experience this one countless times already so somehow when I participate in a bounty I don't have my hopes up that I will be paid. I learn that if I always have my hopes up and I compute how much will I receive from that bounty then I would just be disappointed most of the time. If you can see a scam bounty then warn others about it.

We cannot do something about it because we don't even know the people behind it most of the time. One of the things that I look for when joining a bounty is the team if they are active in joining the conferences because that would mean they are willing to show their face and the less possibility of being scammed.

I feel disappointed when I joined a Bounty but they didn't pay me.. I'm almost 2 months to participate but in the end is nothing. Waisting my time and efforts. The bounty manager is scam, he didn't distribute the bounty payment to the participants

@Wahanna

That's a real shame if bounty manager steals from hunters, seriously it's even worse than scam project not paying. Can you name the bounty and who was managing it?

I would not say that the bounty program is dead. Simply, this market has become more competitive, the number of participants has increased significantly, and the size of the award has decreased, this is a normal situation.

I feel you. I did some bounty campaign for 1-2 months, waste so much time and effect, very stressful, and didn't get any profits. Just wanna cry.

Personally, I'm really disappointed by the fact that the number of campaigns with attractive bounty conditions is now really small, but if you want, they can be found.

Now the competition in the bounty sphere has significantly increased, the amount of rewards and incentives for users has decreased noticeably, but if you want you can choose promising and profitable programs.

A bad experience is also an experience . Unfortunately this happens very often - but the main thing is not to be upset to such an extent that to throw it all . Try to live with the idea that you will definitely be lucky in another company that you will find-just make more effort to analyze the project

the other day I faced a situation. the bounty Manager in one project did not do his job responsibly. in the table there were a lot of scams and bots, such managers I have not met. therefore, it is also important which Menger leads the bounty, this also depends on success

This can happen to anyone and you cannot do anything. It is just  wheel of fortune. Anyway don't you think bad experience is also an experience? you can learn a lot on bad situations how to choose project

yes I am following some bounty and he promises in July to discuss their token but after so long I waited yet to get the token. but I think I am a gift hunter and accept. I will wait for her. and think positive for ico it. if ico it does not give me a gift maybe i will try to be patient and i will not follow that ico i will mark that ico manager. that i will never work for ico thank you for your questions may the managers will listen to your questions.

I agree you have to evaluate the project along with the bounty program.  If the project looks like a scam, the bounty program probably is also a scam.

Unpaid Bounty is very relevant these days as Many ICOs were not successfully launched during the crowd sale by not reaching its softcap thus after the bounty period the ICO Team usually dismiss the team or abandoned because of unsuccessful crowdsale.
That is why we must increase our caution on participating bounties.

Yeah but as bounty campaign is considered by many hunters as easy money, ico itself considered as an easy process for many teams, shall we blame them, that their dream are ruined when they launch their project? I guess we cannot predict if ICO will be or not be successful

I think the right thing to do before you join to bounty campaign is to check all the details, or else its better to trust only to those manager of the bounty that you know very well to avoid being scam.

I can only say that part of the bounty mission is a scam. Many bounty missions can still distribute rewards on time. Although I hate the task of deceiving, our bounty hunters are not protected by any law! Choosing a bounty is more like gambling!

scamming is not a mission of a bounty but instead their real mission on why they run  a bounty campaign is to advertise . they need forum users to advertise their project in the form of carrying or wearing an avatar and a bb code signature under their profile's accounts but unfortunately bounty is also targeted by scammers . scamers do only wants to get free advertising via this forum , so that if many people will find their scam website , they can also earn lots of income if people invest on their fake projects .

yes many ico are promising in the unobstructed payment yet its sucses ico it. hence many delays for payment. and gift hunters who can not wait to wait then they are spreading obscure issues like ico it's a scam or whatever. my advice if we are a bounty hunter we must be patient to wait when the gift will be sent and do not forget to read so as not to miss information.

it is very difficult to guess the project is a scam or not, and somehow the less-populated project was input into ico or list in ico. maybe if any agency arranges his ico approval, it will definitely reduce the scam project.

Nothing is Real here!
i can guarantee you only 20% of all ICOs are Legit here.
So i personally don't like ICO!
its close enough to hate it!
Meanwhile you can always have faith in Alt Coins with a Solid Roadmap.

I usually encourage myself this way. "This is the way I choose to make money. I have to stick to it anyway." Because we all know that the bounty mission has not made us 100% profitable from the beginning, just like eating chocolate!

It's very disappointed when you finished the bounty the campaign for 1 month then after that you didn't receive your payments, it's waisting to advertise the project.

bounty that isn't always paid actually will make us a little disappointed. but this is every so often not totally our fault. often we are careful but if the challenge fails while the route is not our fault. certainly the assignment is destined to fail. in that case we need to gladly take delivery of the failure of the task that we absolutely will not get hold of payment.

If something like that happens you can do nothing against it.
That is my previous experience with the topic.
I try to learn from it. But sometimes thats not so easy.

I feel you mate, once i was a victim of bounty scam also. But i think it a lesson also for a bounty hunter like us that we need to choose the right project which is worth for our time. Unfortunately, theres nothing we can do about it. So next time pick the right project. Goodluck

quite a frequent situation, and I do not see anything ordinary in this.
I was not paid such "excellent projects" as sonder, omnityde, inpactor.
Guys, developers of this project, if you read this message- let you be ashamed!
now am participate in Qilimanjaro bounty project, its  the next quantum step. Platform to provide consulting service and easy access to quantum computing for everyone!

I have feel that ,from HDAC bounty until now we bounty hunter still not get paid we have been waiting almost 8Month . many people say HDAC scam . but i hoped not .

are you still hoping?
I do not think that you will be paid after such a long time period.
companies that do not pay the promised much and this is normal.

The task of making a bounty is like eating chocolate! In fact, it takes a good attitude to do the bounty task and invest in the cryptocurrency. Don't be defeated by the instant gains and losses. After all, the bounty hunter is our own choice!

No matter if the project is built in a transparent manner, responsibility, dedication and legality. they will pay you. However, just respect them, because this bad trend can kill their project in a flash and they need time to care and protect the funds of investors. do not worry.

Scam accusation effect nothing to manager who not paid the the bounty participatns. they still continue to promote scam bounty. Let's leave the managers. better use bountyplatform, bountyportal, bountyhunters. and bountyglobal.

We are currently unable to punish these forged bounty creators. For our hunters, we cycle through these tasks every month. The only thing we can do is to improve our knowledge and reduce the chance of being cheated!

Unfortunately, people are disappointed when expectations do not come true. I didn't get paid for the signature of the Envion, and I worked a lot. So I hope they'il disappear because they ate our rights.

you can't to do anything with unpaid bounty guys, unfortunately.
about 50% of the bounties I participated in 2018 were unpaid, so sad but that's pretty common now

We took the telegrams and watched the bonus campaign, along with tracking down the roadmap when we asked them fraudsters, we could recommend to the boycott community.

honestly if everyone is working but not paid then people will definitely be angry, I often bounty that is finished but not paid, like the envion I did not receive at all.

You can't do anything if from the beginning the team and the dev have intended not to pay the bounty. You can do complaints and if you need to do red trush if a fatal error

Yah its a risky business, even if they don't pay it doesn't really mean its a scam.  They could of just failed to raise enough money so their project completely failed.

I'd been low in bounty hunting now, being active too much in bounty at times that ICO fails and scammers , it will be a frustration if we put too much effort.

When you join in bounty campaigns you agree to what will happen. What you will gonna do is to make a research on the bounty you wish to join in to lessen the risk of being scammed at the end.

When I encountered a fraudulent bounty, my mood was always bad, because the activity took me a lot of time, but I can't make any punishment for these liar, I feel helpless!

Yeah, everything is usual so if some didn't pay I won't be surprise at all and just move on. I wasted my time and I won't waste more time thinking if they gonna pay, I just leave with them their shitcoin and we'll see how they die. ;D
Like sometime I'm surprised that my wallet is already filled and will utter to remove the curse. Haha!

We do have the same treatment when it comes to bounties.When i join up on a project which i do saw that has the potential then i do participate and when i dont see any updates came from the team then i do treat out directly as a scam and then move on without stressing myself that i have been scammed and all efforts did come to waste and this is part of the risk as a bounty hunter you are either got  paid or not on the work you have done and if in luck you will might able to earn some decent amounts.

Unfortunately, there is no absolute guarantee that you will be paid, but if you choose companies that have collected a soft cap, there is hope that you will be paid 70 percent of these companies.

I feel so bad everytime i join in bounty campaigns and when its the time of distribution it went to scam. This hurts me a lot , ypu worked for almost 2 months without getting nothing in return.

Recently, such stories appear more and more often. And what can you do about it? Nothing but reconcile and continue to work in other bounty campaigns

These the hard part of being a hunter, many campaigns just run or let their participant wait long until they forget to pay them. We should always update them.

Is always happening if you join a bounty who handle with unknown Bounty Manager, they promise to distribute their tokens based on the time they have specified. But actually, they never sent out the tokens and always make more and more fake reason to lie to us...

That's why next time better joins the bounty who handle with trusted bounty manager only...

This year it is a fairly common occurrence when cheating on bounty and not paying for work. I hope that there is some higher power that will punish these scammers sooner or later.

It's unfortunate but the only thing to do is to move on. I have experienced this and their ICO took year before it got finished. It just happened last month and now they force KYC when it's obvious that they just really don't pay our hardwork because they are too ambitious to reach their hardcap when they could not even reach their softcap after numerous extensions have already been made.

1 year ico/bounty ? wow thats freakin cool . i think that is the first time i heard a bounty that runs over a year  . you shouldnt have  joined them at the first because  their running time frame is verry unusual when compared to other existing bounties , not unless they  are paying per week .

next time , youd better choose a bounty that does not have an ico or the soft cap is already been reached because they are more better and secure when compared to the usual type of ico bounties .

.

They taste God's justice sooner or later. there's nothing we can do, Envion didn't pay  me and the other bounty hunters, but then he came close to disappearing on the market.

yes angry just throw away energy, we just need to keep trying to work to support a promising project. I feel the same way when tokenpay ignores the bounty hunter and they take all payments.

Since I am not a wealthy person, I have to rely on participating in the bounty to earn extra profits. Although I know that many bounty is now a scam, I still can't give up the job because I need it.

I participated in some bounties, but not so much as i wanted because of time. But i was always get coins, as they said, instead i participated in more airdrops this year and last year, but for some i not get coins and others was copy others legit project and just get some coins which worth under 5$ in total and others just send some coins and "devs" sell their for fast money (scam).

I am also one of the unlucky people involved in some phishing projects, some after the campaign ends + 2 weeks, it's hard to find a good campaign now. We only hope and continue our work.

I think airdrop for now is mostly fraud and I have also felt a lot of bounties and airdrops are not paid and the continuation is not clear from the bounty manager I follow

We don't seem to have any way to solve this cycle, because our hunters must find and complete many bounty activities every day, and no hunter can guarantee the authenticity of the event!

Most of the ICO is now having trouble collecting investment , so they don't pay for their signature and their work. The bull season must be will reopened for investors to return

For some bounties it happened to me too , and it hurts when I saw the token got add to the Binance and went to the moon , The only thing i could do was to first report to the bounty manager and see if I can have my bounty tokens but he didn't respond and I had to report him somewhere else when it had bad affection for his reputation , I don't like to ruin someone else's reputation but if I don't have any other way what can I do?!
