I know that most of bounty managers are asking for email address on Google form for participate  bounty campaign.



Basically they will handover spreadsheet to ICO team. So there will also include email.  They mention they will not sold or show on public. So why need to ask for email ? Is it necessary for get pay ? I don't think so. I think only eth address is enough for get token.

There are many risk for submitt email to ICO team or manager. They might be sale or hack account. Too many spam mail send. Even maximum people not submit their original email. But I think managers should stop asking for email and handover to third party.

I know they are able to lock. But question is I have posted a scam ICO thread and manager has been temporary ban. So manager will not able to lock thread. Important thing this is bounty thread and people are still reporting their work. That means they are wasting time. Because they are not aware about that. So they are still promoting. I have reported to moderator multiple time to lock the thread. But may be they are not consider it as a scam.

I think I posted enough proof to say scam.

My thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4476252.msg40190599#msg40190599
Bounty thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3963215.0

I will request to moderator for lock their bounty thread to avoid spam and loss of time forum members.

[1) Bounty cheater with multiple account:]

Even I am not yet joined but I have noticed that nowadays bounty payment very less. I just try to find what is true reason of behind it.
I will try discribe below what I found:

1) Bounty cheater with multiple account: Recently many case I have seen that same people have many account to participate bounty. I have caught some and many other people also. There I found a single person have more then 100 alt account. This is that we have found only. But there are many clever bounty cheater that we will not able to find or catch. Due to stake system there will be low payment.

2) Scam ICO: This is also big problem now. Even participant do hard work, if ICO become scam then everything is worthless.

3) Corrupted manager: Another reason is corrupted managers. As well as maximum managers get payment by eth or btc. They are not investigate much that ICO legit or probably scam. They don't care about hunter.

4) Immature manager: Last day just I check some bounty from first page. I am surprise that there are 90% immature manager. Just their rank Jr. Member with low activity. I think even they are not aware about bitcointalk rule. Just joined here and terget to become manager or some Sr. Manager help them. We can't expect good result from them.

5) Unlimited participant: There is no limited participant most of bounty( not all) . If 10K participant then stake will distribute according to amount on participant and token are allocated. Simply you will get less token.

Solution: It's very hard to find solution. But I think it's not impossible. First try to find multiple account holder and report to managers. So that many participant will be disqualify. Before participate any bounty do your best research what can you do. And share your opinion with others by reply on thread or ANN.
Managers should minimum research about ICO before start. If they exit scam that's is different case. But before start should little bit research what you feel. Don't be selfish. And you can limited participant for bounty to get quality promotion.
For participant try to choose best and reputed managers in order to get good payment. Avoid immature managers.

I just share my thought. If you have more idea it will be much appriceated to share here.

[1) No team there on website. Their ans regarding hide of team on FAQ is not valid.]

Name of ICO: BatmanToken (BMN)
Website: https://www.batmantoken.com
ANN Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4468548.0  ( very poor quality AAN thread)
Probably they are come here to scam. I was ask some question about their team. I am not satisfied about their answer. See below.
Why I think they are scam ? So many red flag on their project.
1) No team there on website. Their ans regarding hide of team on FAQ is not valid.

Where is your team? I can't find in your website. You will collect million doller from people, why your team is hide ?
Website is not look much professional even ANN Thread.
I will more investigate about your site. If I found any scam activity then I will open Scam Accusations. Please clear everything.

Look like you are trying ANN bumping service. You will be ban from this forum. Sure . All account I can see here is newbie.

1_ You seem to be very contradictory about how you can not find a website and how you say it is not professional, However this is the site link https://batmantoken.com/

2_ Why your team do not show his face ?
The BatmanToken Team would love to show you the business behind Batman Token, our project very proud of our technology and what they have achieved, while they believe it is a legitimate and fascinating way for a company to raise money from investors the world over, the legality of the ICO funding model is still untested. The Batman Team feel that cryptocurrencies should remain anonymous and free from the regulation of any one central government Also because crypto fundamentals in anonymity and we are holding to the basics, And do not forget the project itself is based on anonymity to give the complete comfort to all people in the world to buy and sell what they wants and All of this has been explained in my topic and also on the site

3_ Yes, you can search as you like and you will not find anything suspicious because here we want to build a strong community and project so that we can and investors us benefit from it all and not to cheat on people

2) Unprofessional whitepaper. They don't know where use upper case lower case character. Read their whitepaper. I can write this whitepaper within an hour   . One more thing just check the picture below.



What is her  

3) Road map only based on token distribution. No plan about their project.
4) There are no existing business. Their terget only listed on exchange to attract people. No business plan there.
5) They register domain 27/04/2018. Look like just recently plan to launch ICO to collect fund.
6) Their concept not clear on whitepaper and website.
7) No community. I can see right now only Fb and telegram media on their website. Project can't be success without strong community.
8 ) They are very clever. They create 1600000 token. I mean very low quantity to attract investor.
9) They are bumping ANN Thread by new account.
Overall their website design is not much attractive.

First time I have seen this case. Merit full member begging by signature campaign. Lol.....

[Hotachy]

ROOMDAO ICO bumping by brand new account, newbie and Jr. Member account. Many reply there by brand new, so it's clear that they are using bumping service. Thread also self moderate.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3130310.3700

I don't know why manager Hotachy using self moderate and bumping service.

[Request to remove self moderate option from Service announcement ( Altcoins)]

Request to remove self moderate option from Service announcement ( Altcoins)
Today I was reply an ICO that proven scammer. They use fake team from stock image. They are deleted my reply and continue scamming to people.

See below picture:


If topic is self moderated then no one can see the true of behind it. Because they will delete post if some one make sound against them.
I would like request to theymos for remove self moderate option from Service Announcements (Altcoins) . This is an important board for announce ico and every have right to leave true opinion about a project.
So that even scammer post ANN about scam project people will able to leave their reply is find anything wrong about their project. Once new people think to invest he will aware their scam activity. Even self moderate topic not safe max. member not aware about that.

Edit : I am not asking to remove self moderate option from  all over the forum. I just ask to remove it from Service Announcements (Altcoins)  to prevent scammer post. They simply delete negetive reply from their post. So investor will not able to see true behind of ICO. Because all ICO post ANN there.
Example Meta board have no self moderate option

[If all managers required Bitcoin for signature campaign payment via escrow, then I think spam and scam both will be reduce. On this forum more then 80% post and reply due to requirements of bounty managers or ICO team.]

Main reason for spam on this forum is signature campaign. Bitcointalk is big promotional place for cryptocurrency. Almost 90% ICO are using bitcointalk for bost their business. I will not bother about other campaign  because it's not forum related.
I want share idea for signature campaign. Because it's directly related with this forum. There are no regulation for bounty. Even no regulation for signature campaign. All ICO using token for signature campaign. Currently we can see many exit scam ico and also ongoing scam ICO with fake team.
I know bounty can't be regulate and we can't prevent also scam too. It's impossible to prevent. But we can reduce it happen on this forum.

If all managers required Bitcoin for signature campaign payment via escrow, then I think spam and scam both will be reduce. On this forum more then 80% post and reply due to requirements of bounty managers or ICO team.

Then those are scammer they will not pay for it. Because there will be huge payment. So it's better point for forum and member's.  Forum will be spam free and member will get real payment.

No manager can do this alone. If I avoid manage ICO without Bitcoin payment for sign camp. then another manager will agree. So all manager should follow same thing.
For this I think here should be a manager community. No any official manager community here. Even we build a unofficial manager community I think we can reduce spam and scam.
At least some one should make sound against scammer/ spammer. Don't let them scam easily.
Community is best way for do it.

I just share my thought to prevent spam on forum. I don't know it is possible or not.

[MEGATRON]

I just saw now another Scam Accusations that was posted by rpi3eu  about MEGATRON ICO scam. Bounty manager was Wapinter, he promote MEGATRON with fake team. It was past few days ago. And recently I caught another ICO called xeonframe with fake team too. Both ICO has use fake photo from Google.
Both bounty manager was Wapinter. He was aware about megateon after Scam Accusations and locked their thread. It's well. I accept it's first mistake he can't find their team members on Google. But he already experienced that ICO can use fake photo from Google. Am I right ? It's not long time ago happened about MEGATRON.

Recently he post another bounty called xeonframe.  This ICO also use fake photo. So why Wapinter didn't check out their team as well as he has previous experience with same thing.

If I say he is related with both scam. I will wrong? Because all the evidence saying that not by me !
Also it's proved that he has multiple account. He already taged for multiple account.

Do you think he should tag again for promote multiple scam ICO? So people can aware about him.

Justice depend on you guy's.  I am wrong or right. I just bring out that point. Why he repeat same thing promote with fake team.

Just see both quote below:

Finally I want to say even he is not related with scam, why he didn't research at least about team?
If exit ICO after bounty, there we can consider. Because actually no one can say who will scam. Even there is original team. That's called exit scam. But both case on midle of ICO running. And it's clear that both ICO has use fake team. So why Wapinter not research next ICO even though he have past experience. As well reputed manager should do this mistake ? I believe my point isn't wrong.

On their website only 4 team members. There is no any well known advisor. Team members Linkedin link not working, if you click Linkedin it will redirect to site again. Team are not existing , Its look like picture are edited by photoshop. More problem on their whitepaper. They just copy from other token called KLT ( their token symbol is GHS). I just saw on YouTube about it and I research myself. Also I think there is big possibility to scam.

Whitepaper: https://gigahashminer.io/GHS_WhitePaper.pdf

Why they use "KLT" token instead of GSH token. They stolen whitepaper from other ? Bounty manager should collect more details or ask them to come live video call.

[Why doesn't the team reveal their names?]

I have question about STOXUM ICO. Why they didn’t use real photo on their team. They just use look like animated photo. Also bounty and ANN manage by themselves . Who is behind of this project ? They use only advisor real picture. Advisor can hire. So no meaning advisor picture.
And name they use it's joke , Stox, Go , Javascript, Market Lol.

I am not yet consider as a scam. If they failed to provide right answer then I will consider as a scam ICO.

Edit : They have answer on their FAQ about  their team.

Why doesn't the team reveal their names?
The main idea of the project is to create a product managed by society. In this case, the product itself belongs to the community, and not to certain individuals.

Lolz. Do you think this is enough reason to hide team? They are going to open exchange and they are hide. Why people will paid them ?
You are going to collect million but you will hide ? How can I trust you ?

Recently I have found two ICO with fake team.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4467496.0

Bounty manager's are too careless about scam ICO. Even they didn't minimum research. We know we can't prevent scam but it's possible to save forum members to promote scam ICO. So time and money both will save.

I think those are bounty manager they have some experience about ICO. What is the reasons for not well research? They are using fake team from Google. It's very easy to find. Simply search on Google and get help from some website.

Bounty manager's geeting payment by eth or btc. They don't have loss. But what about participant who had joined their bounty if scam ICO? They spend time on bounty.

Some manager's might be well and research. But most of manager careless.

I will request to all bounty manager's please try to research minimum to save forum members.

I've started handing out negative trust to anyone still posting in the bounty thread and advertising Xeonframe.
If you come here after being neg rated by me, here's what you have to do:

Delete all your posts on social media about XF.
Delete your posts in the bounty thread.

PM me after you have done both those things, and I will remove my rating.

Coinbase going to support Ethereum Classic ETC from comming month.
Reference : https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1006344839569403905

After they tweet on their official tweeter ETC has been bump more then 22%. I think price will be more raise after listed on coinbase. This is one of positive news for ETC holders.
