Bounty hunters let use our brain and get united, PLEASE!

Many developers don't like using escrow for God knows what reasons

Every project get the ICO funds in a trusted escrow agent. Be it from this forum or private institutions who are also investors of the project. Now they may turn scam one fine day but that was your bad luck that you bought them.

but escrow is the best way I can think of right now, few bounty managers takes this very serious and if developers aren't ready to abide to escrow scheme they  bid farewell

True, but do the bounty hunter care? They are in it for the money and any way they can get it will be enough for them. So they go for the bounties with high payouts being fooled with greed and thus waste their time and reputation promoting a scam project. They obviously lack the brains and are less fortunate enough to not be informed or even have the intelligence to comprehend the signs.

Putting locks on bounty reward is never a good sign to begin with, I never pray for such bounty in my life because there is higher chance of never getting paid, some times it's bounty manager fault, if there will be lock on reward hunters should be the first one to know, in fact it should be on the bounty thread

   Everything related with bounty should be in the bounty thread, if it's about coins and payment then it should be transparent. If it's not,
that would be a signal that something is wrong and that you need a deeper check before joining or in the best case you should just move
from that project to some other.

you already said   Everything related with bounty should be in the bounty thread,  . that means everything including the payment , coins , allocations and a like should be announce on the thread  . keeping these things means the campaign is shady and there is a potential that they wont pay  . locking the reward is also a normal rule to some bounties . this does not mean that they are shady but they are only protecting the value of thier coins  from potential drops  because you know , bounty hunters are itching to sell thier thier coins once they recieve the payment or once the coin has been listed  . not all but most of them prolly  .

Most bounty campaign that use locks aren't always good in the end, it's either they fail to complete the payment or not all get paid, same thing happen with Storichain and till date the final payout never happened

locking it will never help the price so it never change the fact that even you lock the token investors can still sell thier share.
So if you failed to complete what you promise to investors they will sell it in time that investors know that they broke the promises they make.

This community is very supportive, we need people who are brave enough to make a scam accusation on projects that are scammers.
These people does not deserve a growth on their project, they are underestimating the bounty hunters without knowing that their reputation is very important and it could be ruin.

Indeed bounty hunters are smart now and careful when choosing where to participate because of the past experiences. It's a good thing some hunters are concern and wise to expose scam projects.

What is there to use brain about? With your research you still can't guarantee getting paid after bounty ends and this doesn't mean the token will have good value when it get listed, some scam projects are pretty much undetectable so it's all gambling things

Yes its like gambling because we have no assurance since we can't determine a scam projects 100% by doing a research however we can get an idea and information about the project and that's what matter. It can help us to decide whether to participate or not.

You are right. But not just newbies, many high ranked members are promoting many shit bounties too! For example, I was shocked by seeing that many SR, Hero member was doing Ride Node bounty signature a month ago, the same thing is happening in Hitmex bounty! I believe if we don't have good bounties then we should stop doing bounty job for a while, take rest instead of doing shit bounties!
When all of them stop promoting shit bounties, we will have good bounty then!

I dont think this applies to everybody, maybe the majority of the new accounts signing up but some are genuine users who are trying to develop a project or have a question related to bitcoin or is a core developer. Yes it is correct that many alt account spammers who got negative trust will try to evade the trust rating by making a new account totally disregarding the reason for their punishment.

In this way the bounties go on but the trend to go for them has reduced which is evident by the reduction in new posts made in the bounty section compared to 2017 and in 2020.
