Ask The Bounty Team before joining

[numanoid]

Another phrase that could be a cheat is their early claim that the 'campaign rule could be changed any time', so if it could be changed what else are we sure we cam hold on to? I still beleive a bounty manager that seek the confidence and trust from his participants will try to satisfy them with the agreed reward.

Well if that was told when or before campaign started it's fine IMO, since all bounty hunter who want to join have read the rules first. If they are decided to join and in the end of campaign they got cheated by that rules, it's their own fault. If they don't like that rules, don't join it.

Not all bounty hunters do  really read up bounty rules anytime and i can attest to that.They would just complain in the end when theres such changes happen.
We can understand if the said changes arent affecting the pay distribution date but most likely this is the main issue where most projects do give of.
You can ask on early phase but if the team didnt get their expected results then the next step is on giving out bounters to have a headache.lol

That's really true mate, most of them doesn't care about it, some are just basing only if they feel is good they will join and then if it is bad they won't partake in it. Sometimes they are attracted with the Billions or millions allocation without checking how much per token. Where in the end they will finally realize its too late for them to quit the project campaign.

We cant really deny that if we do read up anytime those ANN titles having some billions and millions allocated token on their bounty campaign does really spark out some interest as a bounty hunter and i can say such thing yet i had experienced on looking up these numbers when im still a newbie.Even now we can see displaying out $1,xxx,xxx or more just to lure in advertisers.Its been part of their marketing strategies but talking about success rate its still unknown thats why bounty hunting is some sort of gambling.

If the bounty manager isn't one member of the team (which is the case for most bounty campaigns actually), even asking him such questions wouldn't help the hunters, since he is just a hired worker and don't know if the campaign will be extended or not, and even some of them don't know if the project itself is legitimate or not.

Most of bounty manager on altcoin bounty only looking to get paid, they don't even care whether the site or ICO or project is scam or not, but there are also few managers who checked the site and anything else (are they legit or not) before take the job (ex yahoo62278).

Yes, every manager should do their duty before publishing the bounty ANN, they have the right to ask the company about their activities because it will really help the bounty manager to increase his reputation in the market. Very few managers are doing their job in the right way.

Recently, I just had this bad experience with a bounty campaign I joined (Vanta to be specific). They've extended the campaign, added some task, and threatened participants that they'll not get all the bounty rewards if they won't participate. I raised my concerns to the bounty manager and I was quite disappointed with the response.


To all fellow hunters, you may want to ask this questions to your bounty managers before joining a campaign:

1. Bounty campaign extension
- Will the team ask for an increase in the bounty pool?
- Will the team close the registration and allow only those participants prior to extension?


2. ICO team inserting rules after the campaign
- Will the team allow ICO teams add rules like exchange voting and require hunters to participate?
- What would be the bounty team's response if ICO teams would withhold the bounty rewards to force hunters to participate?


These questions might help you understand how strong the bounty manager is when it comes to protecting its group of bounty hunters.

Even if you asked these questions and get a satisfactory answer, there is no guaranty that they will not change the rule, because almost all bounty managers can change the rule anytime to the advantages of the campaign.

I have asked one bounty manager that there will be no KYC and he says yes, only to change later that they are now implementing KYC because of the very old alibi of bounty hunters cheating.

But some of the bounty managers are part of the projects and even if they are working independently, they have no control if the developers change their rules, when running a campaign there are no exact rules, they change it to suit their campaign needs at a given time, you will just get disappointed if you think they are not going to change the rules.

We should have more of that kind of bounty manager, bad manager are also one of the main reason why there's a lot of scams in the market.
As a bounty manager, he has a clear communication to the team than the participants, so he should make a research before accepting the job.

Bounty manager should work like an exchange in the IEO set up where they evaluate the project first before they will accept listing for IEO in their site.

There are only few of them. Yahoo (as i mentioned earlier), hhampuz, and few others managers who always evaluate any of ICO before accept their offer. But there are rarely case when ICO seems turned into scam in middle of campaign, that's where those managee decided to continue the bounty or stopped  it before all participants got rekt
