Bitcoin Forum

Hello all.

Well, i and my team have carefully studied the Bounty Market and we have noticed so many flaws on how the Market is being Managed. But i really want to hear from you all, especially those who have been involved in one Bounty Hunting or the other.
We have been heavily funded ( a partner) to provide a world-class Bounty platform i really need your suggestions.


EDIT*

Based on all your suggestions. We have started implementing the following!

1) We will be making sure that only ICOs ready to make pre-payment or Escrow the funds will be accepted to run their campaign with us. This will secure Bounty hunter's payment after the campaign has ended
2) Proper verification of project before accepting it to reduce failed and scam ICOs
3) Making sure that a limit is set for all Participants for every campaign so that rewards can be valuable to those who have participated.
4) Making sure that Project owners do not change project terms after the campaign has started
5) Make a system that recognizes members by completed tasks so that future rewards could be based on your rank on the platform
6) Build a simple and easy to use bounty platform with lots of automation



Additional Implementation:

a) We will also accept non ICO campaigns which will pay via BTC, ETH also. This will make it possible for projects to run a marketing campaign on the platform to reach more persons on the internet while Hunters get paid in real cash
b) We will only implement a one time verification system for Bounty hunters, this documents will not be shared with anyone! Not even project owners. This verification is to make sure all accounts are owned by one person and to reduce multiple accounts on the platform so that all campaigns can be effective.
c) Payment to Bounty hunters will be made immediately the campaign is ending else if the contract specified otherwise




PRE-REGISTRATION LINK WILL SOON BE OUT. I shall update this thread as soon as pre-registration is ready.

Thank you. Your suggestions are still welcome.



EDIT 2: Our custom token is TBY. No ICO, No Bounty, NO Airdrop! Only Private Sale value of 1% of Total supply. This token is promising as we have documented it's value here

Private sale starts on Feb 15th, 2019 - Feb 20th, 2019. Check Telegram for Updates.

I don't have a proposal, I have a question. How are you going to deal with manipulators in the market? How are you going to reduce the number of scams? If the usual ICO assessment, you can not try

Which of the manipulators? Project owners or Bounty hunters?







- First, we will try and verify all team members via ID if possible.
- Scrutinize the project carefully and decide if such project will be successful
- Pre-allocation of Bounty funds to us.  The total amount of token or coins set aside for bounty must be paid to us first before the campaign will start, this is to protect Bounty hunter's interest.   

This is a really good idea and it is very timely since scammers are everywhere. I agree with you on this and looking forward to your success. What I can suggest is that you need to conduct an analysis of the flaws that you have mentioned. One key to do this effectively is to gather reliable data from people who are involved not only on the bounty but also on the checking of the participants from registration, verification, validation, counting of participation, scammer detection, stake computation, and distribution and many more.

God bless on your Bounty Platform project and may the investors be more grateful to invest on reliable projects.

Noone can solve the bounty problem.
doing bounty is at the own risk.
and being that man nor woman everything must be done.
there will be no problem as long as the bounty is legit and the ico is successful!

If you wanna find anyone can help you to solve bounty problems then you just need to find famous bounty managers in this forum :). I think you should talk to Yahoo, btcltcdigger and so many other managers in this forum, I think they're the only guys can help you out of your problems :D

Most bounty projects change their policies halfway through the project. An example is KYC registration which many people are not comfortable with. How do you intend to deal with this?

Yess Off course. Though i have contacted some very popular Managers and we have an outlined model already.

The truth is that one of the major solutions towards Bounty Hunter's fraud is if a KYC is conducted, it's so unfortunate that most Managers don't make this clear initially

On our bounty platform, you would only have to do this KYC once, then this would be used for all Projects you apply for which requires KYC.

1. Many projects which didn't pay bounty.
2. Wrong bounty allocation (decreased after end of bounty campaign).
3. 'Jobs for the boys' in bounty management team.
4. Not many good projects with good payment after all per one hunter.
5. It's hard to find good project with good bounty management in this market sentiment.
6. Opinions about bounty hunters saying that they're not needed in crypto.
7. Hard to contact when you want to propose your individual plan for promotion campaign dedicated to the project.
8. Not a single one well made bounty platform (please stop talking about bounty0x).

Wow that's interesting that you are concern with the bounty hunting industry. I'm not a bounty hunter though but I have the same question for you.
This is the number one concern of the hunters, are you going to ask those bounty campaigns to fund first before proceeding of accepting bounty hunters?

A lot of bounty hunters will not give you IDs.
Nobody will send you the whole bounty budget because it is a lot of money until you are not estabilished bounty manager.
There are so many trusted bounty managers/platforms and I think that you cant compete with them, they are much bigger than you, they have more funds to develop good bounty platform.

For a project whose TGE happens midway into the bounty, how then will you be able to secure the tokens side for the bounty which in this case is still promissory? Does it mean you'll not accept to manage such projects?

This is huge and trust me we are looking into them one after the other.

1) This cannot happen with us as the project owner is expected to pay us before the bounty can start
2) We are introducing a better way of calculating stakes which is more transparent. You can be rest assured that we won't face this issue on our platform.
3) I really don't know what this means.
4) We want to launch with best icos
5) There are over 5 thousand icos launched Monthly. We have to approve only top best.
6) Not true
7) When the project owners can be easily verified then there won't be any issue contacting them
8) It depends on your definition of a well-made platform.

This is very important, yes they will have to.

From the aspect of funds, that won't be any problem

For the establishment, our reputation will give us a better edge when we launch. First, we will run a promotion to register over 100,000 Bounty hunters

Any ICO model that does not guarantee Bounty Hunter's funds by initial release or Escrowed, then such projects won't be approved to be Managed on our platform.

Now this is what's been on my list for so long! It is certainly more secure to implement a pre-paid bounty allocation to the platform. But how exactly will you convince potential projects to do so? Don't you think they will prefer an escrow instead rather than paying directly to the platform?

For me, one of the most important factors in a company's bounty is the moment when a company should already collect its soft cap. This means that we will receive payments for generosity.

Any which could be implemented. Escrow too will be fine

This is only if specified else payment is always after the Bounty itself.

Maybe you already know about bountyhunters.io asking for private key so bounty hunters can withdraw their rewards and how they are ruining the business they set up for over a year now, just don't make it hard for bounty hunters to receive their rewards and you are good to go.

First, you need to decide whether the ICO team has the right to conduct KYC checks against bounty hunters. If we are not investors, we should not pass this test. Even if I am mistaken, such a KYC check should be carried out before joining the campaign of generosity, and not after we have done our work for several months and finished it.

Secondly, it is necessary to make approximate conditions for joining the participants of the campaign of generosity ICO. In fact, this is a contract for the provision of services, and such conditions should externally resemble the form of the contract. It needs to define clear rights and obligations of the parties, and not just warnings and threats against bounty hunters, as it is now. This contract should contain a complete list of limited cases in which the ICO team can unilaterally change the terms of this contract. It should be clearly stated that in other cases the ICO team does not have the right to change the terms of the contract. In any case, it should be stipulated that the terms of the contract cannot be changed after the end of ICO.
Each ICO team should be guided by this approximate form of contract.

Yes we are aware. Its impossible to request for private keys, its like requesting for your internet banking password before you can credit such account. Please no one should fall for this!

 It should be clearly stated that in other cases the ICO team does not have the right to change the terms of the contract. Private key should be keep secret i think each person will secure it account

Do you have any way to solve that problem?

I have one more question. Who is that partner that heavily funded your project? Eradicating those scam bounties would definitely help the bounty hunters as for securing the funds and it means that you are doing a great job for each of them.

Don't waste your time because in fact you can't change anything of current bounty problems. 

The biggest problems for bounty hunters are manipulation, fraud, and spamming.
You have good intentions to create a big world bounty platform, but I hope for you, if it manifests, try to always confirm with the ICO developer to always carry out transparent funds to the public in a real way and not only seek personal benefits that are only personal.
I really hope for you and hope that the platform is realized, I'm waiting for good news from you

Make a payment for the hunters who lead the companies on your platform. What am I saying, we are free workers. Exactly the problem is to eliminate fraudsters. If you do this you'll be number 1 for both hunters and investors.

I was about to ask this but good thing you've said it already.

Just a follow up question, can you prevent the team from changing the rules like slashing the bounty pool especially if there was none at the beginning? Or better yet, can you prevent them from putting this "we have the right to change the bounty rules as we fit" rule?

Very nice of you,
just have some few suggestions.
1. Integrate  social media API to your platform to make hunters work lot easier rather than the manual process.
2. Thorough screening of project
3. Escrowing of bounty funds
4. Build like a reputation system in your platform where users can participate/rewarded based on his/her reputation in the platform
5. Inbuilt exchange with high liquidity where hunters can easily sell his/her reward

The biggest problem of the market is the manipulation and real value of companies. Can your project solve these questions? I really want the operators to be guilty of their behavior and I need to know the annual report of the altcoins to show they are actually trading a product. If your project can do these things, surely the market will grow strongly and your company will have higher value than bitcoin many times.

I want reward token are kept in escrow by third party or if they have not issue token yet, they must make an bitcoin or ethereum escrow with equal value to token reward pool, and the escrow must be hold by third party too. It is for sure that bounty hunters will receive their token after the bounty campaign end.

Well, project owners have no choice than to make payment cos the platform is both for ICO and non ICO projects. This means post ICO projects can still use our platform to run a campaign this time they will pay bounty hunters with BTC or ETH.

The big problem is that the participants in bounty campaigns are not protected by anything. Project developers can at any time change the conditions of the campaign, the timing of payment of awards and so on. All this reduces the interest of experienced bounty hunters.

1.2.3 is sure!

4 is possible, this is a great idea!

5 is also possible but its already moving out from its original scope. 95% of hunters want to sell off after they have been paid, building a system where token are exchanged will be quite difficult to succeeded else we want to also focus on investors which is totally out of the scope.

 ;D

Project is just a bounty platform which intends to correct how bounty is already being done.
Totally out of scope, this cannot be achieved with a mere bounty platform.

This will not happen on our platform, breach of agreement must favour all bounty hunters.

And we will introduce a voting system. More later ...

One thing Is already sure. No payment security no approval from us, such project will not even be seen on our platform.

You should not be working with any project unless you can confirm the Identity of all the participants. You should also control the smart contracts used for the funding of the project as it is the only way that you can actually guarantee that the bounty will be paid. The full amount of the money raised should only be released to the project doing the ICO once they have fulfilled all their bounty commitments including issuing tokens and getting the tokens listed on an exchange.

In my own opinion I would rather not to think for more to them instead thibk for what is really is it. The market will not total to be known but rather it will depends on how demand the product is and how fast is the team to think for more solutions to some problems. Paartcipating in an ICO is a blessing to be and t4ied to get the higher point.

I think that the obligatory escrow of tokens is necessary. A credible and neutral escrow provider would solve the problem of teams not paying for received services. The transaction should of course happen before the start of the campaign.

True

Long story short this means if I'm a bounty manager and I have got some friends which are helping (or not) me with management and I'm going to give them better stakes (if the rules allow that) or I'm going to accept and give stakes to their multiple accounts.

If you really need somebody which experience in that 'industry' let's say and want some help in case of creating respected bounty campaigns platform you can write me PM, maybe we'll get along  ;)

What we need is a bounty platform which requires escrow for the funds,kyc for all the members including video/photo requirement so that the investors wont be fucked up by these scammers.A platform which detects multiple users/cheaters during the ICO/Bounty and remove all those shortcomings from the previous bounty campaigns.Detecting Cheaters should be the first thing you should  think,second the security of investor's money,third and lastly are these new ICOs are worth to invest? if yes how it differs to others which has the same ideas/application to the outside world.

Alright!

The scope of bounty is detecting a better project, approving it and making sure hunters are paid introducing any other activity means we are moving away from its primary focus.

But one thing is clear, any ICO launched with us means bounty hunters will be paid with very clear terms.

Well, I guess some ICO is based on the current market situation right now, since the market is so down, their project is not really developing and it is in a state of risk, many didn't achieve their softcap and eventually not providing bounty hunters any token of appreciation to their job.

Their failure is not caused by the hunters, that's why they need to be paid exactly.

There are plenty of works that automation cannot handle in bounty management. But if you think that you can provide a better solution to it in which the other platform weren't able to fully integrated then you can surely create a better future to genuine bounty hunters.

If you are heavily funded by your partner then you should use that money wisely in order to fully integrate the 100% scam free bounty campaigns.
I will be glad to participate in your platform if you can achieve your goal.

This is a good proposal actually where is more bounty hunters (legit and competitive ones) are looking for if your bounty platform succeed.
Many bounty hunters are having a big problem in choosing a good project to participate and invest there time and effort doing it for weeks and months using their own or private social media account to promote some project and end up nothing/scam.
Its so hard to find a  good and competitive hunters since there is more issues going on just to participate in such bounties maybe an intensive requirement may be used like example of proof of their work from their previous project, with a recommendation from the bounty managers or staff of the previous project is also good too.
  

Yes I agree with you. If those problems will be address by their new bounty platform this will create a good trust rating to them as those cheaters will be out and more participants with a legit account can join to support their projects.

Another bounty platform, the market needs transparent platform which may help them to get their rewards, I will suggest you to build your reputable platform by not accepting any project unless promising projects, don't focus on The number of projects you work on,but on how big the project.

This is a good idea, so there is a middleman to hold the token number for the bounty. Since a lot of bounty after the end has reduced the bonus. It made the bounty hunter very disappointing

This is a great advise and we will follow suit 

We shall be updating development update here

I give you few suggestions:
1. Bounty manager must have ability to identify legit project and if most of your project is legit, you will get good reputation from hunter.
2. Bounty manager must have a strong intention to keep the promise.
3. Bounty is about promoting, more real people involve better for the promotion. I think our forum already good about membership, so I think it could be the primary key for participant .
4. Few project might ask kyc, I think as world-class Bounty platform, the manager can give his/her own kyc as representative of the hunter.
5. Bounty manager should be paid first before launching the bounty, maybe if the project fail bounty manager can share part of the salary to participants.

I want a platform that can analyze all the projects they will hold and provide guaranteed payments for bounty hunters. the problem that the bounty hunter believes is one of them is about their payment. often they are not paid for all the work they have done.

Have you ever seen a business, I mean ever since that you can say its a perfect business? Meaning, there is no such things in this world especially in business that is perfect, right? In this industry, no doubt we can see a lot of flaws it can be in market, ico project, and bounty hunting.
In the market we can't able to solve it individually due to there are big whale investors who can able to control the market, then in the ico project most of them are not transparent instead, they always hide something, and for the bounty hunters some of them doesn't how to identify if the ico project is legit or not which is most often lead them their work effort turned into nothing.

I think there must be a team that checks and aligns new projects. Because today many projects are fraudulent and many people lose time and lose money. If there are institutions or teams that conduct screening of ICO projects, this will greatly help many people.

4 will not eliminate bounty scam.
5. The payment for the bounty manager cannot cover all bounty hunters if project end up being scam.

This has Been sorted out already. Project owners will have to pay is first or leave funds with escrow before such project will be approved.

That is a great news for bounty hunters. I suppose the biggest problem that hunter is facing is more and more scam ICO that is in the market if you are able to come out with something that can reduce the number of scam ICO it will be a great cause. Then follow by responsible bounty managers that do their work promptly by updating their excel sheet and respond to the hunters queries.

Well, noted.

True.

It would be better if you will be able to create a platform where everything happens automatically or driven by an A.I bot for registration that detects those cheaters when they are using the same IP address when trying to register a different account. It will also be nice if you are willing to pay the hunters by ETH or BTC instead of your own tokens which causes a price dump when the token gets listed to the trading platform. Start sharing those ETH or BTC you collected during ICO instead of paying a worthless token.

Well for one, being a manager - you have to stay true to your words. What's happening now is for instance they would say they're gonna give 300M tokens but BM would end up giving yp only 100M tokens and would give out excuses after excuses.

Second, is you have to control the number of participants. That is the only way for bounty hunters to feel the rewards after. Most campaign nowadays accept participants until the lastweek of bounty. And so when distribution time come, all the participants get almost nothing.

Indeed, we faced a lot of circumstances this season in terms of bounty project, where the no.1 got affected was the bounty hunters and the investors. So we need to be wise in seeking or choosing the right ico project campaign and one of the things which I can give is try to check this for finding a campaign here https://icoholder.com/en/icos/ongoing and https://www.kickico.com/rating good luck ;)

It will be better if this is addressed to the project owner, we are just trying to solve bounty! But be rest assured that we will negotiate the best for all hunters.

1) this is why we have decided to build a platform that will
Collect funds or place via escrow before accepting such campaign


2) our platform will have maximum number of entries per campaign for transparency and effectiveness

We need to create some rules for the upcoming bounty programmes, because it happens pretty often that ICOs are not collecting their budgets and are reducing the bounty pools. They should be some secured fund at the beginning of a bounty.

Correct

Thanks. I shall update front page as soon we have opened for registration.

This is a very good idea and it is overdue. It is better to take measures to self-regulate the activity of the ICO than to expect it to be regulated by the states. After all, then in any case there will be a threat of corruption in this field of activity.
I read what you intend to do and join your project if it starts working. Headhunters need clear rules of the game.

Thanks for leaving a note.

Front page updated with all your suggestions!

You should add the features also for insurance policy of the bounty hunters. Because some bounty management are making fools to bounty hunter by telling that they have kyc after the bounty campaign ends, causing many bounty hunters to turn their works to ashes. But with a insurance of the bounty hunter I think we can avoid that.

I like your Idea and its a very good plan to solve this problem as nowadays many scam ICOs are coming and they launch their bounty campaigns to get more investment from investors which come through bounty. But they scam after some time and all the bounty hunters who participated get nothing for their hard work. If you make a platform like this it will help the Good bounty workers to earn good profits.

There will be just one kyc and it will be done on our platform only once. The kyc details are not transferable the project owner can only see verified and not verified that's all!

Well I think all this your solution you are intending to offer is one sided and this is because it only favours the bounty hunters and not the ICO. You should know that ICO will only be willing to comply only if they actually reach their hardcap which i believe it is very difficult this period due to low numbers of investors. I think you should also be more corncern about how much impact the hunters are contributing towards the success of ICO. From my little experience, I have discover that many hunters do not contribute any meaningful thing to success of ICO. they are only interested in earning free token and that is the reason why wehave so mmany hunters stealing peoples work, plagiarising contents and submitting multiple articles with fake and alt account

I just heard about a world-class Bounty, like what it is, Bounty is now really very trivial, but if you will make that change it's fantastic

The bounty hunter only helps with project marketing and promotion. Why KYC? How do you ensure that our privacy is not exploited? If KYC certification is required. So I'm sorry I won't go to your platform to participate in any bounty project. Please use a solution other than KYC.

How many recent icos return funds when they dont meet hard cap? So this has been the effort of Bounty hunters majorly to get most of these investors (Most times) So your observation too is one sided cos you arent also balancing it.

Its simple, there will be an agreement stated by the project owner which the Bounty hunter will check before joining. What we are after is,


- Agreement must be made when softcap is not met, hard cap is not met or reverse. So that the platform will be transparent as possible.


Project owners dont have any issue here, if the platform cannot provide trusted and reliable Bounty system then the ICO itself has failed.
Bounty Hunter's management is 95% of ICO success here except the project owner has a very huge budget to do straight advertising without Bounty.

The most important thing here is that we need to make sure all campaigns are successful on the platform and one major way of achieving this is making sure there is only one person per registration (account).

Am sorry, the only way to ascertain this is conducting a mini KYC that ascertains this. The beauty here is that you only have to do it once and your details are not shared to any third party.

Well, KYC on the platform is not a must, but there will be campaigns that only verified members can participate on while you also have campaigns for everyone. But be rest assured that no sane project manager will open campaigns to non-verified members! Though this is optional for them to choose!

I think what need to be focus on is about any bounty scammer that recently occur where they are registering into a bounty using another person's account.
So every bounty manager should be able to filter those things.

In the bounty, it is necessary to make the passage of KYC mandatory, and it is better to initially confirm your account on Bitcointalk by passing KYC.

Let us hope for your success, maybe it results in roping in a lot of newbies sceptic or wary to be a part of any bounty program.

That's really the case, now a lot of people are very cheating one of them like you say. And the other is to use the work of others and to use me other people. So these cheating people only use eth addresses to participate in campaigns.

point 4, I think to become world class bounty platform, they must already have ability to eliminate it, check the professional bounty manager here, I think they already have it.

point 5, I mean not to cover all but maybe little part of it

From the first page I already edited how this will be solved.

I still believe strongly that (4) Will not work for what we are planning. Those Managers here don't have a platform, we are developing a bounty platform that can register over 1,000,000 bounty hunters in a day. This is a full platform with automations not the manual bounty done on this forum.

Like I said earlier, this is optional. There will be campaigns meant for verified and non verified hunters, but am sure most project managers will want to select only verified members to be able to participate on their campaign.


5. As updated on the first page, there will be different type of campaigns, some will pay via BTC, ETH or the Project token. Most icos will want to pay via their token while other non ICO will have to pay in BTC or ETH. So these campaigns are boldly visible with their payment methods and terms of payment after ICO. So participation of these campaigns are optional on the platform based on your understanding and agreement with the terms stipulated by the project owner

I suggest that payment should be done in such a way that Bounty hunters can decide which payment they want to receive. This will help the projects and the bounty platform so that Bounty hunters will not crash the price of the project when trying to sell

You can't solve it mate. How can you deal with newly published bounties which don't have the assurance that bounty hunters can get rewards from it ? If we try approach the bounty management , how can we take the chance to deal with that their project is not scam ? I think it is better for us to check first the project whether it is trusted or not before joining their bounty programs so that our hardworks will not end up with nothing.

Your idea of helping bounty hunters is good but there are challenges. How do you intend to change projects who change their policies half way, e.g kyc registration and furthering the bounty without increasing the initial bounty pool?. Even if the project submits to escrow, how will you stop it from running away with funds raised during ICO thereby making the tokens in escrow worthless?

The idea is pretty good, but it is unlikely to turn into reality. No project will accept your conditions, it is not profitable for them.

This is a good idea, but if you must solve the problems of bounty hunters then you should first unite the hunters, as in be a voice to them, but I wonder how possible it will be for all hunters to be united.

This is nice to know, but if its possible let the team be paying in eth or btc as a standard then if any bounty hunter wants their tokens, they can get it on the exchanges when they are listed, it's my own suggestion, I will wait to see your project launch.

it is very difficult to unite all of them, because it might be different in their thinking with you, everyone is different in seeing and facing their own problems.
it's better to think about yourself first and then you think of others.
if you succeed, you will also be heard by others.

If the work on ICO screening is actually will be done, then in principle many will this like it.Rank on the platform is generally a very smart decision.With this function, you will be able to keep the bounty participants on your platform.We are waiting for the implementation of the idea and its implementation in practice.By and large, such a platform was to be launched last year.It would have been possible to earn and save a lot of money.

So if I may understand, for your platform you will implement KYC to avoid multiple account users? Don't you think other people will use other means to beat the system and enroll many accounts? Also how do people trust you with their personal information? I think your idea is good but I didn't buy into the idea of collecting people documents.

I personally do not trust any platforms that working with bounty campaign. I know that too many bots are involved in such campaigns that take place on platforms.

Honestly speaking i don't think there's a way to fix this. Even the financial regulators can't deal with this canker. Humans are humans and it's difficult to predict what the other person intends to do in the next second. 
Nevertheless i really like how this thread is focusing on cheating against hunters. That's very very bad.

Wao! So amazing but I don't think that you can solve the problem alone and if you want to solve this problem you need other bounty hunters to unite with you and is not easy to unite with other because some of the bounty hunters are scammer.

Bots is not the worst thing for the hunter. The worst thing is when you worked three months and honestly fulfill the conditions , and the project team trims the award all hunters 10 times. Is this true ? And what to do in such cases. 3 months of work lost in vain

Traditionally, Bounty is all about getting paid in the token you are promoting. Just that we want to take it a little further towards turning it into a full Marketing platform.

The Project owner will be the one to select which payment method not the hunter, either BTC, ETH or the project token.

Picking this out. Yes, this has been addressed before now.

Thanks

This is why we will only approve projects that we can verify all team members of the project. 98% of scam icos are done by people who fake their identity. So if we can do this at first, then scam ICOs listed on our platform will be reduced to the bearest minimum.


For KYC. please check the edited on the front page, this has been addressed.

Thanks.

Our aim is to run only successful and verifiable ICOs on our platform. This might be difficult initially, but am sure when we gain the Market trust, then we will be able to correct how Bounty should be done!

It will take a little time but am sure most of them will have no choice than to join us when its time.

Well, this is purely based on what the Project owner has decided, and its left for the hunter to join the campaign or not. For whichever payment method has been selected, we must ascertain the pre-payment or escrowed.

Like i said earlier, submission of documents is purely optional, there will be other campaigns that will be available to non-verified members too.  :)

No you haven't seen a properly built Bounty system. Just wait for our launch  ;D

Pre-payment of tokens or funds placed on Escrow is non-negotiable. Project owners must be able to ascertain payment with any of the methods else project won't be approved to run on our bounty platform.

I think you came to the market late with such a good idea. It was necessary to realize what was intended when the market was flourishing, when projects were collecting good money. but now no one goes to ICO, or the dates are extended by half a year or more.

Ooops.

Work in progress!

For me, one of the most important problems is a large number of fraudulent ICO, as it is more and more difficult to choose a project every day.

Guys, advise good ICO's, please

I don't see any reason for invest into altcoins

In this market, I would not sell anything

I don't see any reason for invest into altcoins ...

And when will growth begin?

I'm tired of such jump and down

I think that now it makes no sense to invest in altcoins

When is growth????

indeed it is very difficult for campaign projects to provide certainty for participant bounty payments, bounty participants only become slaves who must follow the rules given without obtaining certainty of payment, if you pay early or every week, ETH or BTC or tokens that have been listed. will make it easier for bounty participants

There would be some campaigns that would accommodate daily payouts

Choosing a legit bounty is hard this days. You tend to do three months to six only to realise you've been scammed,such annoying. Get to read the whitepaper,it contains the entire ideas of the bounty. Also do bounties run by managers with great records. You could do bounties by btcltcdigger,sylon,amazix.. Try the elyqd bounty too. Its very legit.

I have some suggestion about the bounty managers. They must keep the spreadsheet updated every week. I am tired of the empty spreadsheet before the end of the campaign. It does not makes any sense to complain about your report several months later.

Ooops, the spreadsheet here is automated. Its updated as soon as an entry has been recorded.

So far the problem with bounty hunters is scam projects and projects that are undergoing an extension. Choosing a good project is very important because it will determine your results when the project is complete. Many projects do not reward hunters.

Well these are good news which everyone will love to hear but all that i will say how this is going to materialize. At the moment we wait and see the outcome of all your suggestions. Any way thanks for thinking about bounty hunters who normally fall as victims to greedy managers.

A lot of bounty hunters have increasingly be losing interest and majority have giving up going by the several conditions and situations faced by them. A lot of bounty extended and still could not afford to pay meaningful earnings, some exited scam while majority were affected by the bear market. It is crazy really. I think bounty will not be a lucrative niche especially at this time, I may be wrong though

Agree with you, it is interesting idea. Maybe, it will be better for everyone, if projects will pay 50% in ETH or BTC and other 50% in tokens.

True

Our solution won't just be for Ico projects, I updated it on the front page.


Thanks

There were people here who solve problems. I certainly understand that this is done solely for their own advertising, but why go to the already dying industry.

ICO is just a branch we intend to focus on.

The limiting of the participants feature of yours are truly interesting. If you limit the bounty members to participate with large bounty pool, the bounty hunters will gonna get more bounty rewards payments. This is what I have been looking for a long time. I really hope you can continue and implement this.

Thanks for leaving a note.

I would like to see ETH, BTC and other major currencies added to the bounties, sow e get part paid in tokens and part paid in bounties. Also, I would like to have verified at least 2 exchanges paid for and secured so that we all know the tokens will actually hit an exchange. I am fed up of doing bounties that have just a load of scam tokens that never reach an exchange. My time is valuable so I expect to be treated with dignity and respect for my work. I barely do bounties anymore for this reason of being scammed too much by bounties in 2018. I hope if you can provide a nice platform, I would like to join in and provide value and quality work that's for sure.

I think it would be a great idea to pay bounty hunters with stable coins, fiat money or the most famous and used crypto currencies like BTC, ETH or LTC. It would help to assure that there won't be any token dump and hunters will be much happier about it.

There is only one question about the bounty event, how to make investors and bounty hunters think that the project is real!
1. You can provide us with ready-made products!
2. Provide us with a company or office that can be queried!

Knowing if it will hit exchange depends on so many factors, and we will try to reduce scam icos

There is provision already for other promotions except icos who will pay in btc or eth

We will be launching soon

Check first page for updates

Am doing Bounty service oath protocol and some more bounty soon.  If you want any service ping me .

Just one way how to solve of bounty campaign project problem, not only participated at bounty campaign project you have active for joining at ICO investment because is the best way how to make an ICO project success and bounty campaign too.

This dream is still alive!

I don't have any proposals. I think this is very difficult to achieve. In fact, if Bitcoin does not restore the price, other peripheral markets will not recover. No matter how it is very difficult to recover, only Bitcoin can take off to change the market.

Based on all your suggestions. We have started implementing the following![/i]

1) We will be making sure that only ICOs ready to make pre-payment or Escrow the funds will be accepted to run their campaign with us. This will secure Bounty hunter's payment after the campaign has ended
2) Proper verification of project before accepting it to reduce failed and scam ICOs
3) Making sure that a limit is set for all Participants for every campaign so that rewards can be valuable to those who have participated.
4) Making sure that Project owners do not change project terms after the campaign has started
5) Make a system that recognises members by completed tasks so that future rewards could be based on your rank on the platform
6) Build a simple and easy to use bounty platform with lots of automation


Since I always finished my bounty campaign I've joined til the end , I like so much the number 5 ( green marked ). But somehow, the number 4 ( red marked ) is quite complicated, because there's a lot of changes or unexpected situation of different project. Like this days, they need to adjust all the bounty campaign range ( add some couple of months ) because of the bad shape and bad image of the market. Which is quite acceptable for me, also I don't want to force the project to end on nothing as well.

The disadvantage recorded is quite higher than the advantage. Only a few care about the Bounty Hunters.

Yes, there must be an agreement that they can change based on a condition and it must be met. Either compensation or something for the bounty hunters.

It will very difficult to solve bounty problem if the father of crypto i mean bitcoin does not recover the problem will still exist.

An interesting idea to continue to be developed and supported. Even though it requires a long process and a lot of effort must be made, but if solving the problem can reform crypto to be better and more useful for its users, I will always support it. With the improvement efforts that will be made will make the crypto image in the community better, so that crypto can be accepted in the wider community.

For me, the most acute question is how to remove projects from the bounty scam list, because in this case, even if you do an escrow, then what to do next with these tokens, the project is dead. I can give you an example from a recent one - the ApolloX project, everything went fine and the project itself seemed serious, but in the end, the team was gone, no news and updates for more than a month.

I think the most important thing about ICO and bounty is to let investors and hunters trust you. You need to show a lot of things, like your legality.

There is lack of transparency in the part of some bounty managers and projects team, they usually change their terms and conditions at the end of the bounty which will not be in favor of hunters. They seriously know that if they are transparent with their rules, they might not get much hunters to promote their project.

Thank you very much for doing this and I think the main problem is that the bounty hunters are left without payments. Moreover it would be great for everybody if projects would pay with stable coins or more old crypto currencies.

The idea of ​​creation of ​​such a platform, with such rules, are very good for all participants of a bounty campaign, but I’m interested in how you will make such a platform a reality, and what is the point for projects to adapt to us, if a they can conduct a bounty campaign, setting their own rules ???

I think that there are very few chances to change something, because fraudsters are not asleep either and are inventing new ways to circumvent the barriers for them.

Indeed, there are problems in the ICO market. All these problems need to be addressed. And among your suggestions are really a lot of interesting ideas. But, it seems to me that you mainly solve the problems of bounty hunters, but at the same time do not take into account the interests of ICO and project developers.

some campaign already paid their bounty participants using bitcoin or usdt.but unfortunately only few campaign doing this.and we hope in future there will much campaign followed this ways in order to make their token stable.

That is also the question that I have, How can you be sure that bounty hunters will not going to join a scam project? but I guess you have mentioned too much good side of your plan. Maybe you could also make a regulation for bounty hunters on your platform to ensure fairness other than setting limit of rewards.

Yea I do agree to plans listed out but how do you intend to achieve all this how will you examine to project so well to detect that its a scam still a very good one though

Well, we are going to try our best to also make sure these projects are worth it.

True

Since this is optional on the side of the Project owner, we can only make sure the payments are available before any Campaign can start on the platform

You are absolutely right) it is useless to fight with Scammers, they will find how to get their way. the only way is to change them and take on your side

I am sceptical that all these issues can be solved. For ICO scammers we need global regulations to filter out those who
are not here as serious project developers. On the side of hunters much more has to be done filter out multi accounts
and make the bounty campaigns transparent. You have good ideas but I questioning the realization of them in practice.

I am not a big fan of KYC so I would skip your project, to protect my credentials and identity and besides show us who you are first before you talk about KYC, and there is already similar bounty platforms that already implements some of the points or features that you want set up.

the case of cases like this often happens, maybe at first they were serious and actually not scam, except that they had problems that they could not handle technically such as a hacker attack or sales could not reach the target.

It is very easy actually.

Bounty with eth or btc or even a random top 10/20 altcoin. Proportionally paid by the money gathered by the ico. like %2.5 of eth they gathered. If they get 100.000 eth, 2.500 eth to bounty hunters. No token dump, bounty hunters happy.

Sure

Actual verification of all team members is the first step.

Do you have any ETA of your project (website) ?
It will be very interesting to take a look at your service ready for using.

I will send you a PM

It is very commendable that you are conducting this survey, but in fact the bounty platforms that fully implemented everything that you are talking about in the first post have already existed. Therefore, I believe that with this you are trying to repeat now what has been on this forum for a long time.

We have gone far with development!

Will you have a solution for the KYC problem that is requested by us at the end of the bounty program ? Rules should not be changed after the project is finished

According to my understanding to your statement in the above, you are planning to create your own bounty platform. If I am not mistaken about my assessment, that's a good idea. And one thing I could suggest is why don't you try to add to your plan that aside from verification for the bounty hunters, do you think is it possible that you can ask a demand verification for the team in the project you are going to manage so that You and the bounty hunters will surely get pay.

I also have to admit that despite all the benefits and excellent potential of the ICO market, there are still many problems here. They really need to be gradually and competently addressed to minimize the incidence of fraud. But it seems to me that the market was ready for such changes in the period of its development, and not now.

That's good to hear. Well, ICO projects should stop cheating their bounty workers because what they are doing us will definitely hit  much harder on their projects. I hope them imagine thousands of disappointed airdrop or social media participants that are wishing them bad karma. I really hope that in the first quarter you will release your first bounty that has a rewarding payment.

I've joined your group, I don't think there is anything new there.
I see you launched this thread in November, but until now you haven't launched your service even you don't provide any information about the bounty.

Yes thats right mate nothing can solve the problem of bounty here in crypto specially the scamming that rampantly happening from day to day

As i am already a victim of those scammers for how many times even how hard i tried checking each one,they are Experts in this fields so better being a team you should find legitimate Devs to be managed

You think in the right way, but your idea is not innovative. Most of your 'tools' are applied by prominent bounty managers and platforms. So I think you are "reinventing" the wheel.

Yes, many people are waiting for this type of website who give a positive rating and it will boost the prices in the market. Many people start using this platform for a better purpose in order to find the best bounties which have active developments in the market.

I see that Teambounty.com page is already up and running. I see that registration is open and there are two campaigns.

Can somebody from the team confirm please if there are already bounty campaigns running on the platform?

There are no updates in any of your threads Team Bounty and would be good to share the latest development information.

How is ICO going? I think this is the main reason that people are afraid of scam.

We arent running ICO.

Yes, few campaigns, and we are looking to add ONLY meaningful projects to our platform.

I don't like a project that use another place to know more about their project because it's useless. Actually they can use this thread to expalain how they project run and tell to everyone in detail about their project want, it has been enough. Don't need social media or telegram channel to explain it, because as far as I know it will be good to make it known by many people so as many people in this forum will give a suggestion or even support to their project.

And you have never run an ICO or is stopped? Please explain because I am sure I have seen ICO announcement sooner.

Can you please explain why you need a token? Don't get me wrong but looks suspicious.

I would be thankful for a detailed explanation because the first post is rather modest in terms of explanation and application of the token.

It is always good to research by ourselves in order to protect the bounty people because most of the people don't have good experience of finding good potential bounty in the market. So we need to help each other in order to find the potential project.

They're just not there now. Almost all the bounties that promise mountains of gold eventually ask for your documents in order to get a couple of dollars for their work

I think the problems of bounties campaigns do come from the developers.  I have done some bounties in the past and some of them do run in 6 to seven months and until now I have not be able to get my tokens because the developer is not willing to reward those who posts night and days wearing his signature and avatar.  I think the problems will be solved if the hunters are been pay weekly and the payments should be in any of the listed coins and not those tokens that are becoming valueless after listed in exchange.  The Hunters should also be pay in ethereum or bitcoin.

See it is our wish whether to join the bounty campaign because if you don't like submitting documents then better then don't join in those bounties. Now even most of the reputable companies are asking for KYC to distribute the tokens. So if you join in good bounty then we need to wait until they distribute the tokens.

Many are aware of the existing problems in the ICO market. But it is unlikely that they will be able to be fully resolved in the near future in order not to violate the interests of any of the market participants. The main thing - I really hope for the regulation of the market, the protection of the interests of each party. But while the market is not ready to change so much.

Indeed, there are very interesting and useful ideas for the development of the ICO market. It seems to me that you are a little late with such good ideas. They really needed to be offered in the period of development and growth of the ICO market. They are not yet ready for bounty hunters and ICO.

If you can solve bounty problems , do you think you can solve the scam bounties that we are facing right now ? Another thing is the kyc .  idk if what you can do with these issues ?  Or maybe you will create your own kind of ico/bounty with a less to no issues at all  ? 


Regulation  ? I think ico's are already regulated  ?  But i think regulation cant really solve the problem of scamming and other frauds  . regulation can infact make the situation of crypto worst imo  .

They arent regulated thats why project owners do easily scam out their investor and leaving them hanging and totally wrecked.Theres no institution that
do project investors thats why ICO  doesnt already spark out some interest due to scam and frauds. Verifying team behind should always the top priority.
Solving the bounty problems? It wont really be that easy nor not even possible.

Based on all your suggestions. We have started implementing the following!
I checked your telegram channel and there seem nothing much have been done, even your own project that is suppose to take the lead does not offer a bounty program.

As a bounty hunters, majority of the participants who join in the campaign project, they don't how to choose the good bounties.
So, most of the community here in the forum, they suggested to read fist the whitepaper of the projector, the team behind the projects if they
are not fake instead they are real one, then the allocation must be realistic together with the transparency of the developer to their community
suporters.

KYC is just like a double-edge sword which it do have positive and negative aspects.Yes,it can solve out multi-accounting cheaters but also you cant be sure on where those documents being store of which means tendency of leaking informations would be there and hence not all people are willing to submit out their documents or showing of personal details so such implementation wont really be considered as final or last resort on solving out this problem.

I think the bounty is dying, in a bull market, earnings are scanty, not worth the time spent. There are many other directions that are more profitable.
