Bitcoin Forum

New year is already few days away and I want to share one or two new year wishes about this forum on here, this is how I hope 🙏 this forum will be by next year, this is actually about BM and Moderators, I belief they can both help a lot.

1. Moderators, theymos and co should actually look into new way or strategy to help crypto investors, what I mean is getting rid of scam projects, I don't know how but I think it's time moderators start taking action, we need new investors in crypto space and scammers are everywhere taking advantage of them.  Maybe there can be some kind of new screening for new projects on this forum? Or some kind of PASS?

2. Bounty managers have a big role to play in crypto world, i believe if every bounty managers can be more serious about the projects they introduce spammers will reduce, few bounty managers still don't know how important Proof of Authentication is, without it scammers can just use others btt accounts without them knowing, to claim tokens, we need more good bounty managers in this space and not keep relying on few promising BM's like bubbalex, Arteezy, ltcbtcledger etc

Firstly, I think this thread should be in Meta [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0].

1. theymos, moderators, and co shouldn't guarantee the success of crypto investors. They must be smarter and more careful to avoid scam projects. Forum has already taken some actions to wipe out scams/scammers. There are many members that already did regular reports for scam cases. And give red-trust to all parties involved in that scams.  

2. We can see the reputation of each bounty manager. Simply choose bounty managers with green-trust accounts and avoid/ignore managers with red-trust accounts.    

The forum isn't responsible for investors here. Investors should take responsibility and stop relying on the forum to do something for them like screening projects. The forum has introduced the Trust Flags (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153344.0) already to help combat scammers. Any member can open a scam accusation against suspected scam projects and create a flag. I just wish members such as you starts learning about these forum features and utilize them.

I've been a bounty hunter for two years and proof of authentication doesn't help much in preventing scammers. The bounty managers you mentioned (except bubbalex since I haven't participated in his campaigns) have their shortcomings also when it comes to selecting campaigns. Not that I blame them for that but there were also campaigns they managed that didn't pay or that didn't fulfill their promise like "No KYC" or the slashing of bounty pool.

My point is, it is entirely up to bounty hunters to screen campaigns they join.

Investors must protect themselves with knowledge about crypto.
Much has been done by moderators to make this forum better but scammer are still scammer who can find ways to continue scamming.

For point number two, BM should also request from the project the reserve funds deposited by a trusted escrow to secure so that participants continue to get paid. regarding how to reduce spammers BM must work harder to minimize spammers.

Moderators of this forum are really trying, investors and bounty hunters should do the most part by taking the word 'research' very seriously and they will be safe, Moderators job is to make this forum running not telling investors which projects to invest on

Investors are the ones to protect themselves, crypto investment is risky so investing in any project must be well investigated, as for bounty managers some kind of escrow services will solve the issue of not getting paid when bounty ends but still bounty hunters need to do better research

Do you think if there are measures to prevent scammers, Theymos won't implement it? It's our responsibility as an investors to investigate which projects are we going to invest, simply because we're going to pour our hard earn money.


They're serious I believed, but they can't control everything. We have seen a different ways of cheating a bounty, but I'm sure sooner or later they will be caught.

Bitcointalk is trying to improve quality. People shouldn't just see it as a source of money. Because they can learn a lot about blockchain here. You also need to watch out for scammers. In this forum you can learn how to protect yourself from fake jobs.

This forum already exposed how to safe yourself from scammers, unless you are not into learning like most newbies who only cards about money making, scam accusation was created for a reason, don't you think?

One of the best suggestions. I think the moderator will think of ways to select the Bounty project that open Bounty in the bitcointalk forum. maybe an option that needs to be applied in a case like this like Escrow or an investigator to check a bounty project. some BM have worked quite well in managing the bounty project. we wait for the policy of the moderator.

Good idea you have presented here to avoid scam projects and help bounty hunters and investors to find out good projects. Bounty managers play a big role in preventing and finding out scam projects as they know more about the projects they work for. So they can discourage such scam projects by exposing them to the investors and bounty hunters.

Bounty managers are the real problem here not the moderators, some new bounty managers still don't include proof of authentication on their bounty thread which is why many spammers and cheaters are taking advantages of such projects, its better to keep sticking with good bounty managers to avoid wasting time, its not easy to promote project for months and get nothing in return

this is a public forum, the moderator will always keep their neutrality. their job is clearing and preventing the spammer and maintaining the forum. you can not expect more than, there are a thousand of thread created daily. it is already hard for them to do this, let alone filtering and managing bounty that consumes a lot of time and effort to do that.

the moderator is not responsible for the project, so it might be better if there is a group that works as a project analyzer. and I think the bounty manager who has to work harder when holding a project, and we ourselves also have to take place to do project analysis and verification. if the project is fraudulent then you should report it based on the results of the analysis, and I think don't expect full hope for protection, but it is better to stand independently for the purpose of developing the potential members of the forum.

I appreciate all the collaborations of partners in this forum, I think the moderator and the team are working hard for the common interest and create a sense of security here. So far it has seen several scammes that have been revealed and suppressed in number, of course we all must also be aware of and appeal to other colleagues and do not just corner the responsible parties in this forum, so that in the coming year this forum will become much better and more appropriate with all of our hopes

Yeah. It's not easy as well to handle the forum with a lot of members already. We also have our responsibilities if we want to avoid scam projects. We should make prior research before believing on a project. We don't need to rely on the moderators too much about this kind of issue because being a moderator is a big responsibility already. But it's also good to be open for suggestions so the forum will be more organized in the future.

Some bounty managers do have red trust account like you started by I have seen few ones doing diligent work after bounty ends, they distributed as promised, there are various reasons one can get red trust, its not always about scam

We should not impose to them how to combat scamming, as an investor it's always been invest at your own risk and do your own research, we are responsible for our investment and do not put the weight on them, you should know better, on bounty managers, not all bounty are independent there are bounty managers that are part of the ICO team, and you should also not rely on bounty managers to do it, in summary, get to work and do your own thing as investor and bounty hunter.

It is normal that there are a few shortcomings, which do not depend on mods. But, as time goes by, make sure everything will be solved. In addition to the shortcomings, fortunately, we have this kind of forum where everyone learns, discusses some ideas, learns more about the projects, meets them, and joins the bounty to make a profit. Anyway, I love this form with its good and bad sides. Happy New Year BTT ❤️

Correct, you need to check what the reasons behind the red-trust mark. But it is much better to choose the green-trust accounts or at least neutral trust. I don't underestimate managers who have the red-trust marks, I just lead people to choose the safest way and minimize risks.  

this is a forum and is used for discussion so investors are not the responsibility of the forum members, theymos and the moderators have also notified, but there are so many members in the forum that they cannot pay attention to everything.

there are some managers who don't care about it, if they get paid then they will look for their new project without doing research first, and yes some of them will get redtrust.
And lastly I was surprised why you didn't mention Yahoo on your list, I think he is one of the best bounty managers in this forum, I think he would be sad if he saw this  :P

It can be said that the bounty manager plays an important role in avoiding scam projects or projects that are indicated as scam projects. But I think scammers have their own way so that they can enter the cryptocurrency market and I think to avoid it is better than ourselves, how do we judge a project and not be in a hurry in making decisions.

I see you are more focused on discussing the bounty project here. In my opinion it will not have a big impact if your account is difficult to increase rank.
Hopefully in 2020 there are new regulations that can make adding rank more easily achieved even though they are still using the merit system.

it seems like that won't be possible. the forum has already developed and there are procedures to raise ratings. and I don't think anything will change. this is already the best for forums, for bounty hunters, for investors, and all forum users.

Bitcointalk moderators are the best i have ever seen, comparing btt to other crypto forums out there today the result is marginal, moderators have done big jobs on this forum and the work is never going to stop, do not worry about that, now all investors need to do is to avoid scam, truthfully its investors money so its investors responsibility to play safe

Bitcointalk moderators shouldn't be saddled with the responsibility of protecting investors or making a project successful. It's everyone's responsibility to make good research before investing into any project. So you don't haul blames on moderators when things go wrong.

Crypto investment is not regulated particularly ICOs, IEOs etc thus there is nothing moderators can do about it invariably bounty hunters participation is at their own risk.
Credible and honest bounty managers do Fall to scam project too  I had participated and promotion of some projects managed by some reputable managers which ended up as scam thus managers are not a yardstick to knowing a good or bad project.

if your thoughts are so what if KYC really happened like before this forum once opened KYC for authenticity verification but only briefly and the KYC system was canceled

I join this post. If we are talking about what needs to be done on this forum, it is best to first thank the moderators and bounty managers for their work. They also face a huge number of problems due to scammers who come into the cryptocurrency space. we all need to be patient and I'm sure that after some time everything will be settled and the cryptocurrency space will become stronger and healthier

Moderators already have their respective duties and do not be burdened with the task only to protect investors from scammer projects.
The scammer project is the responsibility of the members who choose the project. even the moderators have marked many scammer accounts with red trust and it has indicated that the moderator supports eliminating scammers.

Professional and trusted Bounty Managers will choose a good project and will do research first.
Many new Bounty projects are managed by themselves without using the services of Bounty Managers, this is what will be very vulnerable as a fraudulent project.
The right resolution for Bitcointalk is to Build Bitcointalk together so that this Forum remains the best.

Bounty campaign manager looks frustrated with many their campaign bounty failed during ICOs not success and many bounty manager campaign got red trust because they report as scammer, how ever we keep promote with ICO in bitcointalk forum to bring back how success full ICOs at the future and worth to join bounty campaign again.

Well, that is not the work of our beloved admins(theymos and cyrus), we as investors have a responsibility to invest with our own risk.
That's why we have a Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board to discuss all related scam projects. And to busted scam projects, it depends on the willingness of the member of this forum in spending time in looking scam projects, not just the admin or the moderatos. Indeed, I like this member (ICOEthics) who had busted a hundred projects were in up scams and having shady documents in their project. Like a fake team and plagiarize whitepaper, but unfortunately, I did not see that user now.

Even how reputable manager you are, you did not have full control of the projects that you manage. And even you as a manager, you probably get a scam and have free work with them and ruin your reputation once there are a lot of complaints.

It's your money and it's your assignment to protect your investment and not ask for admin and moderators to help you on your assignment, they have a lot of jobs to do from preventing spammers, you have all the tools, and don't be too lazy to read and study, or you can pay other to do it for you for 50% share since they do all the research, but this is not a guaranty too.

It's understandable when people make their wishes without taking into consideration of anything on ground. I personally wish to wake up to see everything in the cryptocurrency space perfect, but that may not be realistic. Scam projects would still exist and it takes an effort from investors to pin point and desist from them.

On point one can you suggest a new strategy to help Cryptocurrency investors on how to combat scammers, if you do not how to and do not have ideas, why impost it on the admin and moderators, it's your choice to invest so it's your duty to do your own reasearch.

This thread reminds me of the concept of new year resolution, but in actual fact they are both wishes which may not be obtainable. The issue of bounty managers ensuring that only great projects are patronise is quite difficult to achieve.

I think almost all bounty managers are trying to promote real projects and they certainly won't want to promote scam projects (there may be some managers who only think about themselves without thinking about investors). And now bounty hunters and investors must first research before joining a project.

Bounty managers are just like us and not all of them are good at detecting a promising project, i bet no one wants to promote a scam project if they know they are scam.. few bounty managers still have green trusts so let's keep following such bounty managers

We both know that no one can guarantee the success of any project, as a bounty hunter you are the one who is in charge here, every bounty hunters can keep themselves safe if they know how to do good research, sometimes you can fail too but making decisions yourself will keep your courage intact

The mods of this forum cannot control whic is scam or not, we as the stakeholders of this forum should help the community to ensure that no other people will be scammed, it is a good idea but will not work. Second, I guess it was already explained that you may see reputation of bounty manager though there are some who turned to be a scammer, like needmoney

Well actually i don't think its wise to promote projects from red trust bounty managers because they are not capable, its same thing with alchemy that i am promoting, spreadsheet has been abandoned for three weeks now with no sign of bounty manager, it means they never take their job serious

I have already seen how the bounty manager was not punished in any way for a failed project. It was even officially presented on the website of this project and whitepaper. So what? Trust in him has not changed, and he continues to quietly participate in the life of the forum.

That's sad to day that there are bounty managers who are just after the money too, their salary and the bonus once they got a good fund raised, or they met the expectation, so it's really frustration that bounties has just been their bread and butter, and they didn't put their dignity and integrity on it, they are just after what they can earn on it.

As much as we would like to get rid of scam projects, we totally cannot. Sometimes some project who are real turns out to be a scammer because some necessary thing comes short into them, that they are forced on not continuing anymore. Judgment would be totally hard when it comes to this because it may come misjudged by someone.

It would be cool of course.But the fact is that not all investors in General even guess about such a forum as ours.Recently I met a man and it turns out that he helps people to invest in cryptocurrencies.And I was surprised that there are actually a lot of investors but almost no one knows about the forum.So although would those projects which make ANN on this forum will be subject to hard verification with hand moderators forum the scammers became would much less and investors did would contributions only with the help forum.

I think that now you need to participate in bounty campaigns only with trusted managers (we all know them by name). or the most reliable option is to spend your time only on companies where there is payment in bitcoin or in the ETH. I know that you will not earn huge money in such campaigns, but in the end, it will still be more profitable than participating in other bounties. I say this from my own experience

Some managers with red trust accounts got those red trust for issues not related to bounties and some of them turned out to bring good projects such as Sessia although I advice you should do your due diligence on any project before promoting it, if you feel in your heart of hearts that it's a promising project, then by all means promote it, I personally do not look at bounty managers, I look at the campaign although I have to admit that I have some BMs that I prefer like Julerz12 and Jolin.

a resolution that can be realized and hopes that the moderator and bounty manager listen to the complaints of the bounty hunters.
at least it can reduce scam projects, because in 2019 many scam projects have sprung up.

good wishes, and perhaps many expressions from others before this tread was written.
I think the moderator and other teams will take action if there are many reports related to scammers and ICO scams. so they cannot act without a strong foundation. different from the undisciplined members in this forum. it can be subject to direct sanctions.
about the bounty manager. I think they just run a collaboration. about the project being a scam or not, BM has never forced investors to invest. This is just an advertising service. many projects were initially successful, but were later destroyed and lost.

Of course, we all wanted projects to be successful and bounty managers to be honest. But unfortunately, we can't influence this. Moderators of the forum follow quite another and they can't guarantee the success of the projects that are placed here.

Often the bounty manager is reported when the project being handled turns into a scam and they will get a red trust. Not only those of us who participated in the bounty campaign were disadvantaged, but many people were disadvantaged because of the scammers and in 2020 I hope that the bounty manager can be the key to avoiding scam projects or can minimize the possibility of scam projects. And for the ICO itself, I think there must be a factor that can encourage projects in the ICO to be very profitable or arguably many projects can be successful, I think it needs a factor that can encourage this.

Certainly, why do we have to depend on them if it is our own obligations as an investor and if we are determined to get rid of scammers then we should look for some ways because if not then our funds will be on danger. Making our own research is one of the ways because you can't undoubtedly assure yourself that you are investing into a worth it and beneficial projects. You can't easily say their true intentions and you don't know if they are capable on fulfilling their words and promises unless you've done your research because in that way you will see different information regarding that project that can help you to make the right decision for yourself as well for your funds. Particularly these days that scammers are capable on doing anything for the sake of money that is why we have to analyze things so we don't end up feeling remorse about every decision and actions that we made.

There's a reason why the administration of this forum choose to not involved in moderating scam and let the community do it. Because while most the time it's easy to catch obvious scams, there are cases where it's not so clear. Moderating the scam would be too much work for the administration and it might create a false sense of security to the users. theymos doesn't want that. I also think that it is way better for each user (and the community overall) to be this "scam police" for themselves.

I don't think so, on the bounty manager's aspect, It's nothing to do for finding a scammer or scam project, I also don't think that proof of authentication is not bringing any positive vibe to this forum, No scam project is coming with saying that it's a scam project, after investing money, People realize that their money has gone in a vain, so you have to select the project very carefully and your responsibility is just yours, In this cryptocurrency forum, No one is for you, since there is nothing controlling system so you have to make your decision on your foot.

I do not believe that Bitcointalk is going to do something to protect people. The major rule is decentralisation and anonymity and people are fine with it. They are not ready to sacrifice decentralisation for safety.

I would say trust settings are good,,, but do not believe everything. I have seen green trust managers abuse their positions and scam, or do nothing to help people when the projects they promote turn to scams (I have even seen a very trusted manager enjoy wealth and forked coins and then act abusively to their members when the project turned bad).

Red Trust the same. Some cannot be changed even though it was just personalities clashing.

You don't expect moderators to be looking into scam project cos there are many projects running in btt already and they are occupied with forum policy daily. The forum policy is okay for me,  we should report any scam project that we suspect that is not good for investors to invest in this forum than hoping for moderators to do so

Those two points that you mentioned just have one direction i.e to scammer or project scam.

That is the bad part of cryptocurrency but that thing cannot be avoided in the other place too.

Cryptocurrency has made new investor popping up and if I compare there are a lot of people who comes to this place.

The reason is simple, they don't need a huge money to start investing but they can get a lot of profir when they start.

If you talk about investing, you should be aware first to the risk that will be face. Don't just take a chance to gain a lot of profit but you just ignore the risk thag will be face and it is worst IMO. So, there is no reason to rally on someone else, just do by yourself because you can do it.

Investment choices is the sole responsibility of an investor. The forum can't decide what people should invest in. Multiple legit projects turned out to be scam this year alone if the responsibility of investment decisions in such projects were made by the moderators here, don't you think their heads would be on a spike right now? Everyone should be responsible for their choices.

Personally what I think the moderators can look into is the issue of Bounty hunting, there should be some sort of escrow services to hold bounty payouts to avoid the issues of working without payment.

If forum was like you said, noone would interfere with anything, including scamming, ponzi schemes, thieves and so on. And I think most of us do not want it.

hope that many people who care about willing to act to report fraud projects or create forums so that not many are deceived. I agree with what you say and support because there must be someone who cares about this, who else would want to act if it wasn't from us for us.
because there are enough people who care now and must always be supported.

my new years resolution is to talk on bitcointalk more

I want new resolution with bitcointalk where many member very hard to achieve and become higher rank level where after merit system update, I know just few member can reach with higher level account because they have friend or some on close with moderator forum each country, sending merit point only for the same account and never sending for any one else.

Indeed, ignorance is really the main problem ever since before. To lessen this, knowledge is a great help against scammers and other fraudulent activities. Determining at first sight the legitimacy of the project or any sort of deal in the crypto industry is an advantage. Investors need must be not lazy to learn new things.

Why moderators, theymos and co must help investors and the investors is not only from here.
Every moderators job is focus on their members like a admins in group. When their member is cheating, they will get banned,block or kicked from the place.
The investors must protect themself and more careful to invest.

I hope on new year bitcointalk could come back with the first time I know with this forum and joined with many bounties campaign worth with higher payment receiving, now need resolution for bitcointalk forum not only become discussing about for report one account with other account but also become most profitable forum discussion talking about worth many bounties campaign for joining.

Bitcointalk is definitely not decentralized! It is highly centralized and there is very little we as normal members can do to have a say. We can vote, we can say our thoughts and we can criticize but in the end all decisionmaking lies in the hands of the forum administrators.

But you know what, I like it this way. Like tenakha says,,, if we allow the scene to be decentralized then more scams would happen. No mods to delete scams. No mods to tag people. And we will all be swimming in spam.

Of course, today there is a lot of talk about what bad results show new projects.  According to the analysis of some analysts, almost 90% of all IEOs have poor performance, despite the fact that they were conducted on rating exchanges, such as Binance.  Most likely, the initial success of these projects was precisely due to the authority of the exchange and nothing more.  Based on this, IEO also did not justify itself.  It seems to me that it is ico companies that will remain the most demanded, but only if there is some control in order to detect and eliminate fraud at the very beginning.  In which case, not only Ethereum, but also the Bounty companies will have a new volume of Great Opportunities.

You are free to invest and take risk, forum moderator can't help you or reject scammer. To identify scam project, scam accusation already exists. I don't like Arteezy bounty managing process others two are good. My choice for BTC payment bounty yahoo and Hhampuz.

Since the beginning the posture of this forum has been that they do not moderate scams, it is up to each person to decide whether an investment is a good opportunity or not, and in my opinion this is the right approach, this is a place of discussion nothing more, if the moderators did that and then someone got scammed they could be considered partially responsible for it, and second the ideals behind this market are for each person to be their own bank, so you are completely responsible for what happens to your coins whether that is good or bad.

I am happy if suggestions like this can be reviewed further for the convenience of forum members. I strongly support the first point regarding the moderator. because the moderator is the straightener if deviations have occurred.
the realization can be by increasing the number of moderators that exist or adding regulations
about promoting the project.

I like your idea and initiative that the moderators should have some screening first before they post their ANN or bounty in this forum. In that way, we can eliminate the scams or projects that are not very serious. I know this kind of request is very hard to do but if we can make this possible, this would be huge as only real projects can promote.

I strongly agree with your opinion, because of the disappointment that has been done by many people who are not responsible for just looking for a moment profit, so that makes crypto is not very good in the eyes of investors who want a change. but it does require seriousness and cooperation of all who want change by providing information so that scam projects do not develop so that they are naturally lazy to do that.

Indeed this is good if it is truly realized by the moderator in order to eradicate the scamer who continues to run rampant in this forum.
It seems like this will be difficult to do because the Moderator has prepared everything like the "Scam Accusations" board to report scam projects there and I think this is perfect. This bitcointalk forum is just that we need to be careful in choosing a scam bounty project because it's difficult predicted by anyone.

if theymos and moderators have to guarantee the safety of investors' money then how much should they provide lol.
here the forum where we discuss educating ourselves with each other, it might help you get out of the scam.
and regarding bounties I hope that hunters do research before joining to promote a project, stop promoting scam projects so that their space is getting smaller.

I just hope that bitcointalk will open a lot of opportunities like bounty campaigns and weekly campaigns. Also, I am hoping that moderators will ban those people who advertise a scam bounty projects so that they cannot endorse a bounty campaigns again.

Firstly, We might see more Bounty projects in the coming days, but we see many scams in the market, which many people are losing their hopes towards a bounty. Moderators should block the fake bounties and someone should research about the fake bounty campaign, it will surely help many of us.

That is not resolution, you push too hard this is forum not company. Risk become bounty hunter, trader or investor is your responsibility because moderator/ admin/ bounty manager doesn't have control with your money. Your fund your strategy your choice your risk. Before join into a program you should research the real data and track record history about them, find the truth information to avoid scam project. I hope this forum can accept more bounty program to keep forum running, but the result let member decide that.

That's right, and all this time checking out fake projects also exists, so that we can easily find out if the projects are fake, and we also have to research every new project that was born by someone, because it can also help us personally so as not to get caught up in fake project.

research will always be important when wanting to invest in new projects, the great risk of making an investment must always start with research. we can take someone's reference and then we re-examine it, or do research from the beginning independently, and invest if the research results show good things in it

thats a good suggestion but its hard to determine or fight scam projects as long as there is money that is involve. What investors must do is to make a research before into a project, bounty managers should also do that before accepting the offer to become the bounty manager. Cause  if a manager knows that the project he manage is scam hes not active anymore, not even answering questions on the tg group ,not updating the spreadsheet.

I see a lot of people talking about scams. Why are there so many scams? I think one of them is that it is easy to make money in cryptocurrency, and the other is that the cost of crime is very low. As long as you create a post on the forum and do a good job of propaganda, for these posts, the host needs a lot of review, the host will be very tired, and there will be salary issues. If you join the forum must be KYC. I don't know if scams will be reduced a lot, but there are trade-offs between freedom. I don't know how you choose.

If you lose your fund it's all on you, if you choose the wrong projects that end up scamming you it's all on you, moderators part is to keep this forum running and free of spammers not choosing projects for investors

That's right. Whatever we do all our own decisions and risks that will accept it and we cannot make bounty managers, moderators and others push to minimize the number of scammers. They have their respective duties and we are responsible here for every decision we make, we cannot blame or encourage the bounty manager to become an icon that can block the entry of a scam project. It all depends on how we observe and analyze each project and how we can look for opportunities from each project.

These are your wish or suggestion, not a new year resolution! However, for the first option, forum already doing great for the crypto world, which is more than enough, you can see all the scam, shit project being flagged in Reputation, Scam, Flag sections! But the sad part is some people still invest in those flagged projects! So, the crypto industry is not for noobs who read and ignore. We need big investors but not a noob investor! No one can ensure you about investing! We already have seen before how a great project scam, don't you remember the Centra, Bitconnect's name? It's not Bitcointalk forum's job to select a project for you to invest, lol.

For the second point,  I agree with you.

happy new year to you and everyone Thanks so much for your wishes. Hopefully everything will go well and these things can help investors.

i agree with this. this is one of thing moderator should seriously think about getting rid of scam projects. scam projects not only hurt investor but also bounty hunter

if manager  be more thoroughly, i think scammer can be fiound. so complicated that talking about scammer but this is really have to remove from this forum

another resolution from me is i hope bitcointalk can bring ico season again like happen in 2017 or anything can replace ico . many legit bounty campaign in 2020 and all bounty not paid in 2019 will paid in 2020. then i hope bitcointalk can be usefull for all member

The executives are the most important ones, they should consider or find a new strategy to help cryptocurrency investors, eliminate the duplication project and decide everything.

yes, I totally agree with your opinion about the development of the bitcointalk forum in the future so that there are no more projects that have the potential for scams circulating in the bitcointalk forum. and the bounty manager must choose a project that has no potential for future scams. so the altcoin forum can no longer be entered by fraudsters

Gentlemen, the job of forum managers is not to advise us on investment. Their job is to manage the forum. I think you mixed things up. Even if we criticize it from time to time, I think the forum administrators do the best by not attempting to engage in such issues.

The subject of Bounty is completely different. Bounty is a marketing activity. And this forum hosts the best customers. Therefore, projects need to find support at all times to work here. However, investment is always the decision of the investor. Therefore, the bounties executed here are not binding for anyone. Before investing, everyone should do their own research.

And I strongly disagree, this market was created with the intention to give the power back to the people and let each one of us to decide what to do with our money and to give us back our freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility and you want to relinquish that freedom and let a third party to tell you whether and investment option is good or not when the right answer is that if you are unable to tell a good project from a bad one then you should not invest at all.

Your new year's resolutions seems to be so difficult to attain in this vast world of crypto. It is a big and hard responsibility that is put into the shoulders of the moderators as well as with the managers to maintain a healthy and safe crypto space for all of us. We must not be reliant on them always and do our part also as a responsible crypto currency user to educate ourselves to get rid of scammers because still, we are all humans working in the crypto space in which we still need time to part rest and work on virtual and real world. Although the point is we must take hand on hand to vanish all those scammers in this crypto space, still the action taken by us people will be a great help on each other not just because the moderators and managers are taking good care of it. Maintaining a good crypto space for us mainly and primarily depend on us because we are the ones who are using it and working on it. If we see a malicious and seems to be a scam project, better investigate it, seek more information about it, and once proven, report it and let other people know about it so we are all aware. The safe work place will be provided for us once we all work together for it.

I admire how you speak by your heart. I am quite sure that you really wanted to help the crypto community and Cryptocurrency as well. If we are all like that, I guess it will really be a good place for everyone. I am also fond of helping to eliminate scammers. I hope there is really a way to lessen them if we can't really eliminate them.

For sure all of us are aiming to have a good forum which is Bitcointalk as in this forum we never forgets Satoshi's hardwork which is Bitcoin, this is his living legend together with Bitcoin. Let's see and hope for a better forum and let's hope that we can attract more users here, let's see if we can provide more opportunities and hope that all who will handle forum will take care of it.

We all hope that in 2020 the bitcointalk forum will get better, and there will be many potential new bounty projects and provide income for the participants, of course all the policies that are taken by moderators to advance this forum must be supported with our whole heart and hopefully for years This will emerge new managers who can be trusted in handling bounty projects.

Well done we have faced with last year where many failed bounty campaign in bitcointalk forum by lower price and delay distributed we hope with new year bring resolution for bitcointalk forum become most active tread for discussing and we have big chance with worth bounty campaign, where first time I am in bitcointalk forum last 2016 where many worth bounty campaign I have new year give the same moment back.

I totally agree with your opinions and wishes to the bitcointalk forum in order to provide the best service for crypto investors. so that investor confidence in bitcointalk forums can be trusted again by investors. then there is a need for stricter supervision and regulation of the latest projects in the future. so no one else is promoting the scam project in the bitcointalk forum.

With the increasing amount of supervision that occurs in bitcointalk forums this will certainly be able to minimize the development of fraudulent projects, so that, investors will also tend to avoid it, but of course it will be very difficult for bounty hunters to find out the project is genuine or fake, because now fake project developers also have the intelligence to make a fake project as if it seems genuine and potential.

I thought this is a resolution but it turns out to be a wish.
#1:  scams aren't moderated. This is why there is such thing as trust feedback so that people will know if that raises a red flag or it is purely a scam project. Caveat emptor, OP.

#2: This is entirely a wide wish, OP. There are many bounty managers here. Some bounty managers work directly at the project that he or she's gonna manage. If you're gonna look for a trusted campaign managers, you can find them here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412712.0)
