Bitcoin Forum

In some of the threads I'm following lots of users mention the word "bounty campaign" or "bounty manager" which is a term I've never heard before. Is it something similar to a marketing campaign?

The 'Bounty Manager' manages bounty. Bounty is the promotion type means there you will get paid for promoting any project by making videos, writing articles and promoting a project on other social platforms.

There are some bounty campaigns that you can participate in on the forum. You can earn some money by doing different kind of works. And bounty managers manage those bounty campaigns. They are responsible for the audit of people's works which they do every week until the end of a campaign.

It is similar to marketing campaigns and thinks of the manager as the marketing manager but the strategy or method being done is through bounty. Bounty campaign does have a lot of types, they could be in the form of signature campaign, social media campaign but mostly being done in Twitter campaign and other types of campaign. They're all bounty because the reward that will be given to the participants is the token that they're promoting which is a sign that it's the first use case that will be made for that particular project. But not all of them are paying in their own token, there are some that pays in other cryptocurrencies and most of the time in bitcoin.

Please start with what Bounty is in Terminology (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0)
There are relevant tasks to be filled in bounties and bounty managers do their management services, to check and verify those tasks from bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters want to have free money with as least efforts, works as possible. Bounty managers do their works to get rid of lazy bounty hunters with bad contributions for projects. The good bounty hunters left after work check from managers will get more money from their legit works (mainly counted as stakes)

It’s a term for the activities that promoting new cryptocurrency projects that are offering new coins/tokens.

Bounty is the social media and signature bounty and is paid in their native coin.

The bounty manager is the representative of both the team and the bounty hunters. He is to manage the bounty campaign.

As a bounty manager, your job is to manage the bounty program of various projects. You are compensated in cryptocurrency of that project for managing their bounty program. But there’s a huge risk when it comes to your trust, integrity and reputation if that project you manage is an exit scam or rug pullers.

It’s a very time consuming job to be honest, especially if you are doing this alone or with a few dedicated assistants to monitor the posts in their social media accounts, checking for fraud and plagiarism, following simple instructions, computing stakes, etc.

It’s a tough job because you are risking your time and effort as well, in which the tokens allocated to you as bounty manager isn’t guaranteed. Even if it’s guaranteed or escrowed, we are not sure on when they are gonna get listed on exchanges, providing strong liquidity, etc.

Yes, you hit it right its a form of a marketing campaign, and usually, from start-up projects, they need people to spread the word about their project and advertise it on social media, forums, and blog sites so that many potential investors will come in to buy its token offerings. While the bounty manager is a person who has the responsibility to check all of the marketing campaigns (bounty campaign) that he was managing, that's the simple explanation about it. 

The bounty campaign manager is the recipient of campaign advertising orders from consigned projects. In my opinion, they can be individuals or organizations, advertising companies. Some of the amazing campaign managers I know, irfan_pak10(Bountyportal), Hhampuz, TheAndy500,yahoo62278....

The success of the project depends a lot on the choice of marketing methods and bounty management(At least that's in the current crypto space.)

Bounty managers is the one responsible for the project of how He will gonna manage it to promote via hiring bounty hunters who are willing to campaign the project accordingly. And having a higher position here in the forum together with green trust can boost and can get easily the trust of the community to support the Bounty managers for the campaign He manage.

As you can see, the word manager will already made you think that he/she will manage something. Let's discuss about bounty, I think you are referring to reward when you do something that the bounty want you to accomplish or complete. In cryptocurrency, bounty means you work on something and then the manager will sent you the reward and that is why it is called bounty manager. What does bounty manager do?. The bounty manager will check and count your posts made in a certain time frame. For example, a bounty wants the participants to posts a total of 25 posts per week to be eligible for payment. Checking posts if it is a spam, low quality and many more. It depends on the bounty campaigns of a company (like casinos and more). Bounty managers are hired by company owner or casino owners.

Basically, if you check the definition one by one.

Bounty - a sum paid to encourage trade.
Campaign - an organized course of action to achieve a goal.
Manager - a person responsible for controlling or administering all or part of a company or similar organization.

The course of action is to market the business or make it known to everyone in the forum. And the manager takes care of everything with all the things that a campaign should be and this forum is the best at that.

simply the person or individual who manages the campaign handles the distribution of payment to the group of people who are approved to wear the signature of a company who wants to advertise their company in this forum, instead of the company communicate with us they let the bounty manager answers our question, and make sure everything runs smoothly, they are the one who handles the marketing campaign to be exact.

Bounty is a set part of the award kept aside for people promoting the project, these people are paid some coins/ tokens from the total supply for the services that they have performed. Generally, there are set stakes for every activity that a person does, and based on the stakes of every person, a person gets his share from the total bounty pool.

For example A bounty pool for XYZ Coin has 1 Million Coins, 1 week of the signature campaign gives 10 Stakes to Senior members and 5 stakes for members, Now after 4 weeks, A senior member who works all 4 weeks will have 40 Stakes(10 x 4) while Member who let's say just worked for 2 weeks would have 20 stakes( 5 x 2). Out of a total pool of 1 Million coins, the distribution would be 800k coins to Senior Member and 200k to Member.

Now the person who does all this calculation of staking, creates the bounty thread and manages it, and also ensures everyone is obeying the rules of the bounty and project is called the Bounty Manager.

Many definitions and characteristics of campaign managers have explained to you, here I will only show examples of these applications which you can see and read in full from all the explanations they have given.
Take a look at this signature campaig (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5342118.msg57168348#msg57168348) for example. which I am currently participating in

Your thought is right. Yes. Bounty campaign is similar as marketing campaign. To know more about it you should go bounty section. Hopefully you will get a quick idea about how bounty campaigns work.- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

And the bounty manager is the man who manage the bounty or who manage the marketing details in this forum in behalf of the project. In one word bounty manager handle bounty campaign.

First you must know what a bounty is. The bounty is a reward distribution campaign for doing some tasks on social media such as Telegram, Facebook and Twitter, as well as the Bitcoin Talk forum to publish new projects for new coin projects.
The Bounty Manager is the person who advertises these projects and manages their campaign, where some subscribers are accepted to do a Bounty campaign on the BitcoinTalk forum or social media, so he chooses the good members who have a good rank in the forum and monitors the tasks and then distributes The rewards are at the end for the members who fulfill the conditions.

So, as you said, the prize campaign or the prize manager actually means the same and true what colleague @akirasendo17 has clearly explained about the term gift manager which is often abbreviated as BM.
where he bridges between BH (Bounty Hunter) and Owner who has a project.

What is really important now is that BM is not getting a very crucial role so many owners leave the project and BM can't do anything.
BM should improve itself to be able to have a role from the Owner by giving the power to distribute coins and it must be allocated from the start so that there is no fraud.

It's a very similar thing to the marketing campaign and that was running by the project to increase its traffic. You can call that as a marketing campaign as well but it was getting paid with the crypto as the main payment to the participants.
The bounty manager was a manager that was managing the bounty campaign. You can also call that as someone who was managing the campaign

Yeah you can somehow call it similar because it is all about promotion.
Only thing that differs it from marketing campaign is the methodology of the said promotion. In bounty campaigns, I often observe that most of it are either signature campaigns which obviously isn't done in marketing campaign but here in the forum.

That question has already been answered in the past!

Just go to the bitcointalk search engine and you will find the answer, but I attach it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4313890.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4313890.0)

Bounty Manager brief description of how a project is marketed through him and for which he is paid a fixed salary. Moreover, managing a bounty involves a lot of suffering because there are a lot of hunters participating in that bounty and the bounty manager has to manage their work list. You can easily understand this by going to the bounty section and doing research on this subject.

Bounty campaign?
- Marketing stuff done by company and this would composed of forum advertisement,social media, airdrops, articles and more

Bounty manager?
-The ones who do handle out to those people who do tend to join on the said program

Payment?
-Usually they would be paying up through their own tokens so its not a guarantee that you would make money.
Lucky if they would pay up btc or other top alts.

Above posts explained it well, you have to check the reputation of Bounty manager before being participant on campaigns. Many Bounty hunters don't care about the bounty terms and they only check the rewards.

A token distribution company for the work that you do and benefit the project by advertising it in any way on social networks.

Bounty manager - the person who runs the bounty program, checks all the work and contacts the project to pay you tokens for the work done.

Some projects need to organize marketing programs, however they do not have much experience in organizing such programs. So they hire people who have experience in doing this and they are bounty managers.

I think he's referring to bounty managers, not bounty hunters.
Bounty managers are the ones who check the work of the bounty hunters and report to the project.

He/she simply the one who manages, organize and prepare the bounty before releasing in the public or forum. They are also the one who communicates with the project team with regards to the budget allocation, terms and conditions and other part of the contract.
