Title: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: Wysi on January 21, 2020, 08:14:08 AM Yes we are talking about the hassle which the bounty manager goes through and bounties of good projects which fails and the development team ends up with huge loss, as a result, they could not focus on further developments and just don't bother to distribute the bounty tokens to the bounty hunters until the investors trade the tokens or else just shuts down the project.
Management's fault: They tend to be greedy at one point of time and starts thinking that if they distribute the bounty to the hunters they will dump it anyway nad the value of token will crash down and they dealy the distribution meanwhile the bounty hunters start writing bad about the project and there were instances that the genuine bounty projects were termed as scam for this issue. Bounty hunter's fault: Bounty hunter just join any random campaign without investigating and then they are the greediest bunch(not everyone) I have seen while managing the campaigns as one user registers with hundreds of fake accounts and that too their account has followers who have nothing to do with crpto as most of them as desperate who just follows the twitter account by looking at fake DP of some hot girls which are often used by the hunters to gain more followers, moreover, the bounty users enter their ETH address on some other person's profile as well and if the bounty manager does not check that then the cheater will get paid twice and the person who works hard will not be paid, submitting false report is one of the main concern wherein the bounty manager has to check thousands of report and some of them just copy-paste old reports to get reward without working. Then comes those users who keeps spamming the telegram group by sharing some scam projects and irrelevant stuff from numerous fake profiles. I think the whole bounty process has become a shithole and the worst part is that the signature campaigns are not entertained by bounties as they want to reach wider audience without knowing that most of the social media campaigns do not reach any real audience as it reaches some fake profiles who follow the bounty hunters just by looking at their picture. Regardless of the issue, the bounty managers are cursed as if they are paying out of their pocket. Users needs to understand that even bounty managers are paid for their job just like bounty hunters and most of the time even they are not paid for their hardwork. Even a slightest negligence from bounty hunters gets them a negative trust thanks to those merit thirsty users who tries to blame it all on bounty hunters to get a merit. this is just a brief of not even 5% of pain which bounty managers go through. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: Roidz on January 21, 2020, 09:06:42 AM Bounty manager is an extension of the team to manage their bounty project, and of course we as bounty participants also cannot 100% blame the bounty manager, if indeed the project fails and is fraudulent, because to my knowledge the managers are also paid when the project is finished unless the manager who handles bounty projects with BTC fees usually there will be someone who acts as an escrow so that payments for bounty participants will be guaranteed, but if the project pays with coin ico of course the manager will get paid after the project is complete and all spreadsheet data has been sent to the project team, but if the project is fraudulent, of course the manager will usually not get paid the same as the bounty participants.

Yes indeed, that the worst part wherein bounty manager filters the data by keeping the cheaters and spammers at bay by individually checking the details but don't hear from the project owners after submitting all the details and Athero bounty was an example of greedy management and short-sighted fraudulent activity done by the management and bounty manager and hunters were at receiving end.

Post by: samuraijin on January 21, 2020, 09:40:05 AM I am still confused about how the bounty manager got the job for the project and why they did not select it either, that they were real and paying projects, actually we don't blame anyone because we should all correct ourselves, I also don't defend bounty hunters because I also a bounty hunter but I feel disappointed too sometimes when they like to shout in the telegram group about distribution, I also want the bounty to be better in the future and where the bounty manager does not easily accept service work from the scammer project, I wait for everyone to work together to overcome things this is between bounty hunters and bounty managers dealing with scammer projects instead of accusing each other
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: NathanJB on January 21, 2020, 09:46:27 AM The difficulty of the bounty manager is a little higher compared to that of a bounty participant. The manager does not have a required number of posts daily, or number of tweets, or an article, or a video, and so on unless he is also a participant. His task is to make sure the participants are meeting the requirements. But that is more difficult because that means hundreds of them. But this is a case to case basis, there are so many managers who cannot even update the spreadsheet on time.

How do you know if the manager was getting paid before managing the campaign? as far as I know that bitcoin campaign is really different from the altcoin campaign. In bitcoin campaign, there was a lot of managers who are putting escrow as the first requirement before he starts his job but in altcoin campaign, the manager will be getting paid after the end of the bounty campaign. Remember so many altcoin campaigns were using their free tokens to pay the hunters and manager. Not all of the team from altcoin can be trusted as they were not even sending the token to the escrow but they are all of the control over the tokens and this make altcoin bounty campaign just like a bit bet for the participants and manager.Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: BitDane on January 21, 2020, 10:28:02 AM That is why there is a bounty manager, why are you whining about your work OP? Bounty manager's task is to oversee the bounty campaign. It is your task to check for cheaters, scammers and filter participants. And calculate their payments and pass it to the management team. If you are not willing to do the task assigned to you then better not to manage any campaign.
Those who register thousands of accounts are not bounty hunters, they are cheaters that disguised to be a bounty hunter. And it is your task to spot them so there is no reason for you to whine about it. Besides if you properly contract a deal, you have been paid even before the job started unlike those bounty hunters that waits a very long time before being paid. Bounty manager is an extension of the team to manage their bounty project, and of course we as bounty participants also cannot 100% blame the bounty manager, if indeed the project fails and is fraudulent, because to my knowledge the managers are also paid when the project is finished unless the manager who handles bounty projects with BTC fees usually there will be someone who acts as an escrow so that payments for bounty participants will be guaranteed, but if the project pays with coin ico of course the manager will get paid after the project is complete and all spreadsheet data has been sent to the project team, but if the project is fraudulent, of course the manager will usually not get paid the same as the bounty participants.

Part of it that a bounty manager demand is an upfront of 20% to 50% of payment, typical of any deals unless the bounty manager don't know what he is doing then he will be working without any initial payment.

We should not say that the bounty managers do not have any accountability as to the projects they are promoting. That is not good also. Bounty managers should at least do their research as the bounty participants are also doing their research. Bounty managers are like portals. Once a scam is approved by the managers, there will be a flood of other people, the bounty participants, promoting it resulting into a bigger problem. The bounty managers have responsibilities, too.

It's not easy to be a bounty manager if their are plenty of hunters that are almost noob (They just randomly do the task without reading the rules and guidelines). This is the common mistakes of the bounty hunters, though not all but most of the new hunters are like these. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Reading this, my smile was getting bigger and bigger, but i couldn't agree more. Unfortunately bounties nowadays have a really bad rep, and their usefulness to the projects is questionable more often than not. The truth is, 50% or more bounty hunters have no clue what they're applying for, they just heard from someone "go apply, its free money". Sad part is, around 30% of them don't even speak English (which i think many would agree, is a must in this community). And no matter how you run your campaign, lenient or very strict, there's at least 10% of them that will call you scammer/bad. I'm sure many of bounty managers heard the phrase "bounty hunters work very hard". While some really do, and kudos to them, most of them have automated retweeting/liking scripts and usually use a spin-bot on articles. And then, when i do reward a genuinely good article with bonus stakes, i'm accused of favoritism and am subjected to scrutiny and name calling. It's a cursed road to walk on, being a bounty manager, but it has it's rewards. At one point, i even had an idea to create a fake bounty, and clearly call it "FAKE BOUNTY, NO REWARDS GIVEN" and explain in the details that it's a social project with no rewards, just to see how many people will blindly join without reading details. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: Dickiy on January 21, 2020, 11:08:56 AM the accuracy of being a manager is indeed necessary so that the quality of his work becomes professional when checking the job of a gift seeker whether it is a report or posting their tweets it has to be even more thorough, I know why being a manager is sick? they work to correct the job of a prize seeker but the manager is far less allocated than the participant signature or articel participant because in their manager consists of groups of course if the manager gets their share they will share their payment equally
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: gweedo on January 21, 2020, 11:12:11 AM You can't blame bounty managers, they just do their jobs and they are not members of a project. They are hired to manage the campaign and do the best they can, after the bounty ends, the bounty manager will send the spreadsheet to the project and from then on they will end the responsibility. The token distribution time will depend on each project and the bounty manager will never manage it
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: JeotQ on January 21, 2020, 11:15:28 AM Project teams are to be blame here, before introducing or laughing your project you have to consider some facts like, how to make the token or coin more demanding, to be honest new project with rare features will be unstoppable, only projects that are introducing something that's already available will be in trouble because there will be competitions
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: TanakabZX on January 21, 2020, 11:26:06 AM To all bounty hunters by now I expect you guys to have learned about rushing to promote any projects you see fit, most times not getting paid is not the bounty managers fault but from the team themselves, there is nothing bounty manager can do if team refused to pay bounty rewards, BM job is to conduct the bounty program, we bounty hunters are the ones who have the ball in our courts, think very well, do better research before you promote any project
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: btcdie on January 21, 2020, 11:34:20 AM I know exactly the complaint as a bounty manager, because one of them is the project they hold turns out to be a scam project (and not getting any of it) and then the negative trust is in the account. Not all managers know which projects are legitimate and which are scams, but some of them are reliable managers who will surely earn according to the work. being a bounty manager is actually a risk, unless they have been paid in advance (BTC, ETH, USDT). of course it is very different if payment is in coins or project tokens, of course a manager will complain because he only receives junk coins / tokens. for now being a bounty manager or bounty hunter, is a very tiring and time-consuming work. I really miss 2017, where only 3 months I can buy a car.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: bassbity on January 21, 2020, 11:48:28 AM Bounty managers cannot be blamed because they only manage campaigns and the rest is only the team that can do that, the project team must be responsible for all this because if the project fails or the bounty is not paid because they themselves are not the bounty manager.
There must be an escrow in every bounty so that bounty hunters can get rewards if there is already an escrow. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Some jump on the boat even without water. Sad. I am still confused about how the bounty manager got the job for the project and why they did not select it either, that they were real and paying projects, Well, apparently even they want to manage a good one when the team itself is totally scammer then they wouldn't know. Some projects looks legit in the beginning then after a while, things turned out the other away around. Bounty managers are someway victims since some doesn't been paid in fiat or bitcoin or the worse their salary is just a shitcoin.Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: yazher on January 21, 2020, 12:17:05 PM Those Managers deserved to be awarded with hard-working awards. They are one of the reasons why we have this kind of community. If they managed a few scam project, I think it's not a good idea to put all blame to them rather we need to reflect and ask ourself why are we participating in their campaigns. some of these guys are also victims of some scam projects. We need to respect them and think as if we were on their shoes to avoid hurting their feelings.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: mu_enrico on January 21, 2020, 12:34:57 PM I think this problem could be solved with a simple BTC payment for the campaign. No more participants must wait for the stupid distribution after working for several months. Managers must not be greedy and they should not accept random unknown campaigns. Then after proper due diligence, the team must use escrow to deal with payments.
Payment with tokens created from thin air is the problem! Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: Yaunfitda on January 21, 2020, 12:39:34 PM Of course, there's a lot of pain that a bounty manager go when handling bounty projects. And most of the time they got the grunt of bounty participants if payments are delayed and all the manager can do is apologise on behalf of the project itself.
There are a lot of good bounty managers that I think disappear because of many accusations against them. I will not name names here, but way back 2018 there was one who truly lost the trust of the community because the project he is managing turns out to be a scam. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: LogitechMouse on January 21, 2020, 12:43:15 PM Unfortunately bounties nowadays have a really bad rep, and their usefulness to the projects is questionable more often than not. This is because of the scams that happened in the past years especially in 2018 where the scam projects are everywhere and it also affected the reputation of the bounty campaign as a whole. I know how bounty managers are feeling right now but I still believe that you bounty managers still get your fee in managing their campaigns even though some of them are becoming scam in the end.The truth is, 50% or more bounty hunters have no clue what they're applying for, they just heard from someone "go apply, its free money". Sad part is, around 30% of them don't even speak English (which i think many would agree, is a must in this community). Bounty campaign = free money for most of the users here and we can't blame them to be honest. They are the bodies of the bounty campaign and a campaign will be useless without them so even though they don't have a clue in the campaign they joined, they will just join for the sake of "FREE MONEY".And no matter how you run your campaign, lenient or very strict, there's at least 10% of them that will call you scammer/bad. People will always search for loopholes in everything including in bounty campaigns.To conclude it, I must give a salute to those bounty campaigns who are working hard just to do their job as a bounty managers. Some of them have their own staffs that can help them in counting. If there are no bounty managers right now, there are no new projects and there are no free money for those stupid users who are just here for the sake of bounty campaigns :D. Yes scam projects are always there are we can't remove it right now but still respect for the bounty managers out there and I hope that you will not stop in managing campaigns :). Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: zhekinsp on January 21, 2020, 12:55:23 PM Bounty managers are not responsible for the token distribution and most of the managers will mention this in their bounty thread itself but if they are willingly promote after knowing a project is scam or part of that project then that manager is going to get bad reputation from DT members.
Campaign manager also have to pick the right project to promote,if they are choosing random project just to get some bucks then they will not last long here as bounty campaign manager. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: huu78 on January 21, 2020, 01:06:29 PM Hurts to be a and manager who is billed about the campaign reward as it was because he had all that in his handle he owned him but he was only 3rd party to promote the campaign of one of the projects but it is unfortunate like that. Indeed, many are annoyed by the projects that they hold a lot of problems and feel inappropriate to do their campaign so yes maybe it's already reasonable among the bounty hunters.

Bounty hunter's fault: Bounty hunter just join any random campaign without investigating and then they are the greediest bunch(not everyone) I have seen while managing the campaigns as one user registers with hundreds of fake accounts and that too their account has followers who have nothing to do with crpto as most of them as desperate who just follows the twitter account by looking at fake DP of some hot girls which are often used by the hunters to gain more followers, moreover, the bounty users enter their ETH address on some other person's profile as well and if the bounty manager does not check that then the cheater will get paid twice and the person who works hard will not be paid, submitting false report is one of the main concern wherein the bounty manager has to check thousands of report and some of them just copy-paste old reports to get reward without working.

Regardless of the issue, the bounty managers are cursed as if they are paying out of their pocket. Users needs to understand that even bounty managers are paid for their job just like bounty hunters and most of the time even they are not paid for their hardwork. Even a slightest negligence from bounty hunters gets them a negative trust thanks to those merit thirsty users who tries to blame it all on bounty hunters to get a merit. this is just a brief of not even 5% of pain which bounty managers go through. Great power comes great responsibility and that's the burden of most bounty managers. Yes, they are getting paid higher than bounty hunters but they are also facing a big risk because they are the ones to blame by bounty hunters if ever the project fails. They should perform every single duty for most participants because that's a part of their task. It's not easy to be a bounty manager because you'll only get paid accordingly for what you have worked for. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: anjiitem on January 21, 2020, 01:21:12 PM To all bounty hunters by now I expect you guys to have learned about rushing to promote any projects you see fit, most times not getting paid is not the bounty managers fault but from the team themselves, there is nothing bounty manager can do if team refused to pay bounty rewards, BM job is to conduct the bounty program, we bounty hunters are the ones who have the ball in our courts, think very well, do better research before you promote any project It is true that bounty managers cannot be blamed when there are no token distributions or bounty hunters do not pay after completing their work promoting the project. For me, maybe payment using ETH or BTC is a good solution for the project itself and also the bounty hunters. Of course the project is a good or serious project to develop the project and by making payments using eth or btc I think it is a good first step for projects that really have big goals.Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: thisnewcoin on January 21, 2020, 01:23:58 PM You are absolutely right! The pain of a bounty manager is insane! They have to go through lots of obstacles! Most of the time new hunter causes huge problems! Some hunters keep asking the same question, again and again, that's too much irritating, I experienced it! After doing all of your mentioned stuff, still, people start blaming if a single task goes a miss! No one talks about bounty managers, everyone just sees the result not the hard work behind it!
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: abeecrypto on January 21, 2020, 01:32:45 PM I have actually felt for bounty managers because I sometimes see the trouble that bounty hunters put them through. Actually, I do vex for some bounty hunters. Especially the ones that cheat and flood the whole telegram group with unecessarry messages.
i didn't know the bounty managers also face a different challenge from the project's team side. I can't imagine how they feel. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: TheICE007 on January 21, 2020, 02:05:05 PM I understand the part of the bounty manager, when all blame would go to him by the bounty hunter, first it is the job of the bounty hunter to do some research before joining a project,the manager isn't to blame when the project fails, the fault is from the team who didn't develop a spectacular use case, Repetiton of use cases makes the project not unique and as such little or no demand.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: ice18 on January 21, 2020, 02:21:18 PM Management's fault: Who are you actually referring to managements fault? Is it manager or the developer? In my experience its always the decision of the developer or owner of the project when to distribute tokens because they are also the one who send the token to bounty participants and its not mostly the reason why value of token crash after distribution of bounty no this is not true, one reason I can see is the developer itself dumping huge amount of token greed is the main reason why price is always crashed upon listing on exchange. They tend to be greedy at one point of time and starts thinking that if they distribute the bounty to the hunters they will dump it anyway nad the value of token will crash down and they dealy the distribution meanwhile the bounty hunters start writing bad about the project and there were instances that the genuine bounty projects were termed as scam for this issue. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: cryp24x on January 21, 2020, 03:02:55 PM Personally, I don't really blame the Bounty Managers. Why? There are also victims here. They don't know how the project team final action when the bounty has ended. They are also receiving rewards like us. The tasks of a Bounty Manager is quite hard and requires high reputation and integrity. There are lots of cheaters in a bounty campaign and when the Bounty Manager and his team does their job, cheaters will be eliminated.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: bluebit25 on January 21, 2020, 03:06:25 PM I think this problem could be solved with a simple BTC payment for the campaign. No more participants must wait for the stupid distribution after working for several months. Managers must not be greedy and they should not accept random unknown campaigns. Then after proper due diligence, the team must use escrow to deal with payments. It is difficult for new projects to do this way, they don't have the budget to be able to run a bounty with payments in BTC or ETH. In the early stages, the projects only have enough budget for the development of the project, and they need more money to implement an ICO or IEO.Payment with tokens created from thin air is the problem!

Well, if you look for the guilty here, the first of them is the project administration itself. Next comes the manager, who must study this proposal and only draw it up after verification. But why again the participants in the bounty are blamed, I don’t understand. After all, they are precisely the employees who, like investors, are victims of fraud. I don’t think that a bounty participant should conduct an investigation of this or that project, it should be done by the one who first talks about it, namely the bounty manager. And in order to avoid fraud, you need to pay participants every week in cryptocurrency, not in tokens, and then everything will fall into place. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

You cannot advice users not to be bounty managers, as long as they are doing it as a contribution to the bitcoin forum and to ensure that only the very good posters gets paid for their posts. Though there are few users getting hired as bounty managers, because even the projects try to employ the very few mangers that often work for projects(more than one at a time most times). This leaves the upcoming managers who are yet to get any project stranded, this doesn't mean they should give up on their ambitions as bounty managers.Bounty managers have to be blamed or are blamed if something goes wrong during the project, because it is them that the participants know and not the team behind the project, so as a result of this the managers should do everything possible to make sure they have control of the funds to be given out to participants. Selecting participants is also their duty, so on the issue of spam, it's up to them to remove users who do not comply to that rule and others, one way or another, the power lies in their hands.

Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: fuer44 on January 21, 2020, 03:33:09 PM I also feel that, it will definitely hurt when a project fails and the most blamed in this case is the bounty manager. just because the bounty manager is in charge of managing the bounty program, does not mean that full control of the bounty is held by the manager. so in the case of a project failure, I don't think the manager is to blame, but the team behind the project.

Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: shiming on January 21, 2020, 10:30:53 PM As a bounty publisher, a bounty manager must first inspect the authenticity of a project, make an advance inspection for the bounty participants, and provide guarantee for the authenticity of the bounty activity. This should be the responsibility of the bounty manager. Otherwise, when the bounty is completed, the bounty payment is not completed, and by that time. Participants must come to discuss with the bounty manager.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: boris singer on January 21, 2020, 10:55:20 PM Project failure is no longer the responsibility of the bounty manager because it has entered the public offering stage, the manager only manages the campaign and ensures that the project does not scam before and during the campaign based on their thoughts. not infrequently the distribution process is only carried out by the developer so that the manager is only entitled to manage the campaign. in fact managers are not entirely wrong, except from the start they did receive work from a particular project without doing research which ultimately affected all participants.

The easiest way is to pay hunters in their very own tokens or coins Then they should understand that marketing is costly, even if they use spam bot, it still cost them a real dollar. If we talk about a new legit project, we start with a business plan, including how to fund the project. Usually, the team uses the bootstrap strategy (their own pocket) until they can produce a proper prototype or MVP. Only then, it's okay to raise external funds.It depends on the startup stage. The marketing fund could come from their own pocket or seed investors. Paying hunters with tokens is equal to expecting the hunters to work for free. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

And it is true that bounty participants are juat joining any ICO or any signature campaigns without further realizing that it is not worth to join for.

Post by: qiwoman2 on January 22, 2020, 08:18:38 AM I think personally from now on unless the coins are already on exchanges, bounty managers and also bounty hunters should be paid part in Eth or BTC and part in the token at the end of the ICO/IEO as a bonus. This would be far less risky for bounty hunters and managers alike because then even if the projects turn to scam, we have already had a part payment in a real digital currency that we can exchange or hodl with less risk. I also managed a bounty once and the most annoying part was sifting through all those fake accounts and even worse still, we had members pretending to be real legitimate BTCTALK members. I have had my profile faked many times and my content was stolen even as a bounty hunter. I am thinking even in bounty hunting there are scammers and thieves? There was a whole Vietnamese ring of scammers faking accounts for the video campaigns, they tried to steal every single video of my Husband's lol from his channel to get stakes in video bounties. It's a huge task to be bounty manager and one cannot run a bounty by oneself, you need at least one assistant minimum to help check and double-check spreadsheets, as well sift through tons of PMS coming in daily from bounty hunters. Don't think it's an easy job, because it isn't.

Post by: BitDane on January 22, 2020, 10:53:38 AM It is hard to become a bounty manager since all of the blame is going to be your burden because you are the one talking to the bounty participants. But, as a bounty hunter, lets understand the situation of the bounty manager. They just relay the information to us and have nothing to do with the scam that will happen sooner or later. What?

Campaign managers should be held responsible for their inability to double check the campaign they chose to administer to know if they are legit or scams, not the responsibility of the hunters who are just here doing what can earn them few SATs. I agree, they are the one who brought the project bounty here in the forum because they are paid to do so. Even a volunteer person should beheld accountable to whatever damage done by his promotion. Bounty hunters task is easy, anyone can do it as long as you have the tool. Participants will join whatever these bounty manager posted here without any hard effort. And the checking and verifying participants is one of the taks they are paid with so they should not whine about it. Aside from that, it is a personal responsibility of a Bounty manager to verify if his project is a scam or not. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Only few bounty managers now whotu really studied the project it's unfortunate that-those who research it will be involved too when project fails . No bounty manager , professionals will risk their reputation so we must not blame them when projects failed . Only at times they forgot to check or add our stakes in campaigns spreadsheet . The rest depend on the market itself . Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: cryp24x on January 22, 2020, 11:06:32 AM I guess this will give us a life lesson. If we don't really know what we are doing then don't accept the job as Bounty Manager. I think it will just give you a heartache when you accepted the job and whine about it because you have difficulty on delivering the tasks well. I think that is why we need to be good at something we do. Besides, we are paid doing it. The difference between them and the participants is the upfront payment.

Of course, it is their duty to cross-check about the company because we have seen many managers failed to deliver from the projects. Bounty hunter's duty is to cross-check the companies whether they are legit or not, we already lost faith in bounties because we worked many months without any payments. We cannot judge the bounty managers or company. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: ubercool on January 22, 2020, 11:19:21 AM Bounty hunters think that bounty manager will be a part of the project team but in most of the cases it'll not be true as bounty manager will be hired just to do a job and get paid, he won't be having the power to do any decisions rather just do as the team says. It's really hard to do these days and even the icos are not even getting any investments.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: Driggers95 on January 22, 2020, 11:24:06 AM A couple of times bounty manager is the one who was being blamed for the unsuccess projects. Not realizing that bounty managers are just doing their job whatever the owner wants him to do. And it is true that bounty participants are juat joining any ICO or any signature campaigns without further realizing that it is not worth to join for. Indeed, bounty managers are just hired employees with a pretty good salary because of their management skills and experience, they are not an official member of the project but a lot of people often blame them for the failures of a project, the impatience and agitation are understandable from the participants but maybe they attacked the wrong object. In addition, the bounty manager has only a few contacts with the project, they do not have the right to decide or ask anything but many participants still ask very difficult questions to answer, and asked many times while there was an answer aheadBeing a bounty manager isn't an easy job. Reputations, good image, efforts and time are needed and I understand where OP is coming from all of his sentiments. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: desticy on January 22, 2020, 11:25:58 AM All your listed difficulties are ordinary work for a good manager. To be honest, a good manager organizes everything in such a way that later he can easily cut off fake accounts from honest ones.
For a good manager, this is not a problem. Moreover, he can specially create a trap for such accounts so that they do not complicate the process of their mimicry. In the end I will say that good managers are one, and that is why there are so many problems at the distribution and calculation stage. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Post by: masterrex on January 23, 2020, 07:43:45 AM I don't know much about what settings and payment arrangement was use between the project team and the bounty manager, But i'm sure the bounty manager was directly paid in BTC or other liquid coins/tokens, in that sense i think the bounty manager has more advantage comparing to the ordinary bounty hunters, But still the burden of bounty campaign performance in terms of results stays on the bounty manager side including on how to run the bounty campaign efficiently.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: leyton11 on January 23, 2020, 09:11:35 AM Actually, I understand this. I was the one who used to run the bounty campaign and I myself get paid with their tokens. We are like bounty hunters, every action needs to wait for a notice from our superiors and from there we will dare to distribute the tokens or give exact dates. So when a bad project ends, don't swear at us because we're one of the victims. We should better understand each other's problems and create the best quality community.

Some projects looks legit in the beginning then after a while, things turned out the other away around. Bounty managers are someway victims since some doesn't been paid in fiat or bitcoin or the worse their salary is just a shitcoin.Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

A genuine manager is worth following. Hopefully one day I find a manager I like. Managers give themselves a bad name but blaming a manager for the fail of a project is stupid.
You can only blame the manager for poor bounty management. Poor management can contribute to a failing project but you cannot fully blame a manager. The drop of the price in a coin does not make it a scam unless the devs themselves dumped. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Post by: BTC Future on January 24, 2020, 06:00:26 PM Reading this, my smile was getting bigger and bigger, but i couldn't agree more. Unfortunately bounties nowadays have a really bad rep, and their usefulness to the projects is questionable more often than not. The truth is, 50% or more bounty hunters have no clue what they're applying for, they just heard from someone "go apply, its free money". Sad part is, around 30% of them don't even speak English (which i think many would agree, is a must in this community). And no matter how you run your campaign, lenient or very strict, there's at least 10% of them that will call you scammer/bad. I'm sure many of bounty managers heard the phrase "bounty hunters work very hard". While some really do, and kudos to them, most of them have automated retweeting/liking scripts and usually use a spin-bot on articles. And then, when i do reward a genuinely good article with bonus stakes, i'm accused of favoritism and am subjected to scrutiny and name calling. It's a cursed road to walk on, being a bounty manager, but it has it's rewards. At one point, i even had an idea to create a fake bounty, and clearly call it "FAKE BOUNTY, NO REWARDS GIVEN" and explain in the details that it's a social project with no rewards, just to see how many people will blindly join without reading details. Everyone that ever worked with you hates you. Make a pole on your shitty channel and see for yourself. Garbage. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: dunfida on January 24, 2020, 10:53:47 PM We are bounty hunters, we work hard day after day. If any project scammed it's really painful for us. Then hunters blame bounty managers. But it's not bounty manager fault. Some Bounty manager are lazy. They don't count hunters stacks properly. I really hate them. And i always respect all good manager who complete his work properly. Bounty hunters are just like bounty managers who only work hard to get paid. But it cannot be denied that once a bounty manager cannot fulfill his promise and does not pay the bounty hunters well, he will judge immediately in a negative way. Bounty hunters should also be considerate because both bounty hunters and bounty manager work hard for the success of the project.I can see those blaming in part of bounty managers which come to think that they are just workers too that had been paid by the team itself.They are just handing and organizing the campaign or task given but doesnt mean they do handle out the payouts. No matter what the situation, there would always be that someone do complain and do call you out badly.I do agree into those words said on OP too. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: totoy4741 on January 25, 2020, 03:14:15 PM I think most Bounty Managers are paid Ethereum or Bitcoins to handle a certain projects, or if not atleast half of the payments are in fiats and the other half is in token of the project they are campaigning. The ones that would mostly suffers are the hunters, as there are mo assurance of the project would be successful or at least achieve their target cap(softcap, hardcap). They are paid for their work so actually both bounty manager and bounty hunters can be a victim of scam. Though mostly affected on this is the bounty hunters they got not paid nothing at all for their hard work when they join the campaign. That's the problem when we join no assurance that the project will be successful that is why we should create an investigation before we join.Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Regards to the following post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288592.msg55571619#msg55571619 Both parties do have its own weaknesses and strengths but i do agree on the word "RESPECT" and as i had mentioned on the link or thread you had given where this do excludes to those shady managers and bounty cheaters out there yet these people doesnt deserve any respect or some sort. Judgement would be subjective and shouldnt be generalize because not all managers are part of the team and just doing their job and not all bounty hunters are cheaters or abusive. Lets consider who are doing their job or tasks well but you cant really please anyone since there are people who are really that judgmental when it comes to other people. Once it had spread out then that do really create some generalization among all which is really sad and removing that negative image wont really be that simple. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: nomenclatur on November 13, 2020, 02:34:07 AM It cannot be denied that there are still many cheater people who create many accounts to get lots of prizes and people like this always try to get more prizes for their bounty managers they will always get challenges to solve all problems like spammers and cheated people which can be detrimental to the bounty manager, the hard work that bounty managers must do to remove them is of course very difficult to be an honest manager and able to be accountable to all their participants.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: coin-investor on November 13, 2020, 03:36:19 AM I can feel the pain of those managers that being blame along the process if their campaign handled isnt paid those hunters but there is always a discretion on their part that hunters should understand. They are only handling the project and payment for that will come from the team. Unless the project escrow its budget for campaign to the CM. There is one guy who I think good in this, @julerz12 the campaign BMY give him the tokens for the campaign. It's nice to have someone like that in forum. Yes i was part of the campaign Julerz has managed and he escrow the tokens for bounty hunter's protection, although the token is not yet in the market at least the bounty hunters got their token in terms of development of the token, it's on the developers of the token and not on the bounty manager, the manager's task is to see to it that the campaign is clean and the hunter's got their token.

It's very tough job indeed, we can't deny it. Farming accounts get it more ridiculous for the bounty manager. I guess, in this way both parties are surviving in the long term. Some hunters very professional of making dump question without reading rules of ant particular campaign.

Post by: Jocuserious on November 14, 2020, 05:34:28 PM I don't want to blame the bounty manager because a project will be a success or a failure there is nothing for the bounty manager to do. The job of the bounty manager is to create an organisation where the hunters will do their work and the bounty manager will manage the list of those jobs. To participate in the right bounty, you have to exercise your opinion and do enough research.
Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: dimonstration on November 14, 2020, 05:39:18 PM I have never been a bounty manager, but I can understand the pain a bounty manager feels. BM will surely get many complaints and insults from participants who have never read the rules and did not get a stake, even though it is their own mistake. That's why many bounty managers before are no longer active in having campaign due to complaints as well the many scam projects who appear in the past. Bounties were no longer profitable now unlike before so many really do complain in bounty manager even it's their own fail not reading the rules of the campaign. Only bounty manager who is able to withstand the complaints as well able to research and accept only legit projects will remain as bounty manager. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

Post by: smyslov on November 15, 2020, 06:56:10 AM Regardless of the issue, the bounty managers are cursed as if they are paying out of their pocket. Users needs to understand that even bounty managers are paid for their job just like bounty hunters and most of the time even they are not paid for their hardwork. Even a slightest negligence from bounty hunters gets them a negative trust thanks to those merit thirsty users who tries to blame it all on bounty hunters to get a merit. this is just a brief of not even 5% of pain which bounty managers go through. I will never think of applying for bounty manager I know the hardship and the hardship of balancing between the manager and the bounty hunters, some old bounty managers are not doing bounty campaign anymore, because some of them got bad feed backs and some of them stopped because of lack of good projects to manage.

There are lots of manager of this forum had stopped nor get calm on getting or taking projects because of lots of scam that do happen even up to these years. Bounty hunters should really be careful on choosing which and what project they should advertise and if managers have done their job well then its not really that right for them to get blamed if the project didnt pay in the end yet they are the main ones who arent being paid since they are just employees too on the said project.

Post by: jademaxsuy on November 21, 2020, 06:57:56 AM I know how a bounty manager could be so busy with the bounty hunters full of request. However, all could be manageable if you only know how to screen the bounty hunters. Usually a project owner wanted all bounty hunters to join and this is really the hassle in part of the bounty manager. Other effective bounty manager were having to limit the participants so that whenever they will going to check the work of bounty hunters they can get it right away for having a limited participants in every bounty campaign.
But a good bounty manager should not accept all the participants who wanted to join in the project. The best thing to do to the bounty manager is to process the application accepting only applicants that knows what to do as bounty hunter. A good bounty manager should implement rules like 1. Accept and view history of the bounty hunter if he has a good promotional skills. 2. If signature campaign then do not accept one liner posts. 3. Add rules to remove bounty hunters that are impatient to receive their rewards. 4. Add rules to remove bounty hunters that do not know how to read pinned posts in telegram or in the bounty thread. 5. Add rules that bounty manager should not accept question especially if it is answered already in a posts or pinned messages. There are many rules that could be added for the betterment of managing bounty campaigns it is up to the bounty manager how he will going to manage smoothly the campaign without getting frustrated or annoyed with the bounty hunters. I know that bounty hunters as well had gone pain especially not getting rewards but the feeling is mutual especially if project does not pay because bounty manager is also a bounty hunter that accepts payment from the owner of the project for managing the project. If the bounty hunters get scam then so does the bounty manager! Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager.

About on the situation of most bounty managers where they do get the blame which i do see normal for having that kind of reaction but not all the times people should really be forcing nor stressing out BM's yet to know that they are just also some hired worker to be part of their marketing strategy.Well, this had been already the norm when everytime theres some issues and concerns do raised up on a particular project.

You know which project you'll join as usually those popular bounty managers are the ones running a good projects.When a bounty manager can't answer all the necessary questions, you have to expect that the project is not a quality one as a project would not hire a bounty manager who does not have a good portfolio, unless the project itself is a shitty project. Title: Re: Pain of a bounty manager. Post by: TopTort777 on December 05, 2020, 02:30:46 PM What are the bounty related questions that Bounty Manager can not answer? I think there are about 10 of them and others are close by content to those 10. I guess that bounty manager must pin post with most popular questions and that will be enough. What are the usually? Bounty end date, distribution date, are reports needed and posting in local. All this can be answered once and pinned. All other questions - better PM the manager. All the questions regards the project bounty managers dont need to answer, but better send hunters to project representatives. Everything is simple.
