When CrowdMachine made its first announcements and started its bounty campaign I was still enthousiastic about the project. Unfortunately my expectations were not fulfilled, to say the least. It has become just one more project that refuses to pay me for delivered bounty work.
The bounty was executed by Tokensuite at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2491077.0. I have been translating the CrowdMachine ANN and BOUNTY threads into Dutch at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2503338 and
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2503514. My work was acknowledged by Tokensuite on their sheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZrcC4ROIA2N8fB1zdiRJ7V84JfDKGfxcoC44avYJTpI/edit#gid=1416936322. My position on that sheet is #6. I was entitled to $1155 in ETH, to be received in my wallet address 0xbF6b6F17eC2cDC4FF6406634747F36Ab4837682c. Up to date Etherscan shows that no payment has been made:

bounty@crowdmachine.com, which I did at the 5th of june:
In the response on the 7th of june a certain Anne writes that CrowdMachine had not been distributing my funds because they didn't have my email to check my wallet (which is already an invalid excuse because Tokensuite can be trusted to have gathered all information needed for payment). She asked me to contact her through Telegram:
On the same day I contacted Anne through Telegram and let her know about this through email:
Since then I am ignored, payment wise, in Telegram and through email. Asking for attention in the main Telegram group got me banned. Emails and Telegram messages are not answered:
But most importantly; I am not being paid.
I would not have expected this behaviour from CrowdMachine. I PM-ed other translators of which many (though not all) were paid after contacting CrowdMachine. I have no idea why they don't pay me, ban me from their Telegram group and ignore my communications. They also don't want to share their reasons with me.
All I know is that I delived work for them and that they did not pay me for it, which equals that I was scammed by CrowdMachine.
