[Bounty] Hash Rush Game — Signature & Translation Campaign.

[vint]

With the exception of some special cases regarding the Blog/Media campaigns and one from the translations who did not get paid yet (we are working on both cases still), the Bounty Campaigns have been completed.

For those of you watching from the sidelines, other campaign managers, or are just interested in what we’ve been doing in regards to the Social Media Campaigns, here is an explanation.

At first we did a few random checks on the accounts that were taking part, whether or not they were actually taking part and just as importantly what other activities these accounts were doing. What we came across was a large scale coordinated scam attempt against Hash Rush and numerous other Bounty Campaigns here on Bitcointalk. One of the biggest alarm bells was that we actually noticed that a large amount of these accounts were retweeting identical content, (not similar, but the exact same) at the same time. After noticing these actions on the few accounts we checked at random, we decided to do a full audit on every entry and found that the pattern repeated itself, this is what lead to the large scale disqualifications on the Twitter and Facebook campaigns. We always knew that there might be some mistakes so the door was open to anyone that wanted a recheck to contact us and we would check it again, slowly, carefully and one by one. Unfortunately, even the requests at rechecking were riddled with scamming attempts.

To give our wider audience a good laugh here is a list of 'special case' accounts that we found - best of all these all were from the 'Please review me, I am an honest participant' group.

• Accounts that were blocked by Twitter, but the user did not check and wanted me to review their ‘seriously honest accounts’
• Twitter accounts that didn’t exist.
• An account that poses as porn stars (at least you selected a pretty good porn star to base your Facebook account on)
• Accounts with Jihadi material (seriously I want to be sarcastic about that, but this is a step too far)
• Accounts that were hacked (the original account was uploading images showing that her account was stolen, pretty much the same time that the account started to share Cryptocurrency news).
• One of my favorite: Accounts that had created multiple usergroups for their facebook profile so that when they shared Hash Rush and other Cryptocurrency news to their timeline, their real friends could not see them, but other people could. This was found out because a guy accidentally added the Hash Rush account to the 'block from seeing Crpyto news' group, he then tried to complain about not getting the bounty but without being able to see the shares I could not verify anything. A few minutes after informing him of this, his account magically changed and I could see all the Hash Rush and other Cryptocurrency shares.
• A group of 4 people who contacted me with accounts that were identical, I seriously thought I opened the same account accidentally until I saw the URL.
• People that I suspected of being bots, and were then found to be kicked out of other Social Media Bounties for the same reason.

A bit of information about Bounty Campaigns and a message for people that wanted to abuse them
In an ideal world you would understand that the idea behind a Bounty Campaign is so that news and information can be spread to other people, putting marketing in the hands of users and fans of the product, they in turn would be rewarded for their participation. Unfortunately, when you start to make accounts that are automated, share everything without thinking, are followed by thousands of other bots or simply share and hide the content from the very people that we want to reach - then it is worthless. It does not matter whether you have 5000 friends or followers, it's actually worse that you'd go out of your way to cheat the system further by getting fake social media statistics, for many people that mentioned "how can I be a bot, I have 4k followers" well when most of them are banned, dummy accounts or bot accounts themselves, it's still abusing the Bounty Campaign system. Furthermore, quoting twitter audit is quite useless as that thing is far to easy to fool and will regularly give totally incorrect results.

With the general information out of the way, the message would be, you can now cry about HR being a scam  but the fact of the matter is that honest bounty participants have been paid out (etherscan and the happy recipients are there to prove that). We will continue to fix issues that were due to us (blog people, sorry about that, and one of our translators that didn't get paid yet, you will also be paid soon) and most importantly a product where your hard earned Rush Coins can be used will be released, finally we will endeavour, as we always have, to keep interested parties up to date on our progress.


With all the explanations done, I’d like to give a special shout out to the honest people that were backing the project and supported us during the campaigns. With your help Hash Rush was very well funded and we really want to thank you.

You will also be very happy to know that we have not been sitting back doing nothing and that the game has been in production/being coded for a while now. We will have an announcement soon for a pre-alpha release and even some competitions for you to get access to the pre-alpha if you do not automatically qualify for access. Finally I’m sure that people will ask, we are working to be listed on an exchange, more news will come on that soon.

Too many scammers went into the world of crypto. Unfortunately, you are one of them. You took advantage of people and deceive them. Ordinary fraud.

[claudiotiego]

I think your investors will soon be crying, which you will certainly deceive. Scammers are always scammers, and in small (Bounty) and in large ($1.8 million).

Regardless of being or not a scammer, what makes me most disappointed with this project is the lack of responses to our private messages. There is no reply, there is no reconsideration. I hope investors don't get as disappointed as we are now.

[juljon18]

I was scammed and not paid by Hash Rush as well.  Very bad on this project.  This will haunt this project moving forward.  I spent a lot of time retweeting for them.  Very sad they would take advantage of us like this. 

[strongman8]

Hit these scammers called Hash Rush on social media guys.  Let the crypto world know what's going on.  Its very obvious what is happening here with the amount of claims coming forward.  Amazing this fool though he would get away with this. 

Also tell your story here in this post and any future ANN post Hash Rush puts forth.  Lets end this project once and for all.

By the way, they started a new thread, without informing anyone here:

And here's a new twitter table, in which all but 5 addresses are rejected.

Hash Rush makes a big mistake after ended ICO. First they changed the bounty terms of the company, then opened a new branch for discussion without warning anyone. Marked all participants as bots, is not this fraud? Why did not you change the conditions of the company in the middle of fees? I had the best opinion of you. But now I see that you are irresponsible. 

[JayCue]

You should know that Facebook and Twitter campaigns are of great help on the success of you ICO!

[siddartha1492]

Well I got all my 3 (blog, signature and fb) bounties without any issues at all. It's really sad that so many people are just trying to scam the bounty campaign and even calling the hashrush project as a scam. As for the PM, I think if anyone thinks that they are really eligible for the bounty campaign payments, then they should contact the hashrush team on discord. Bitcoin talk is not made for multiple messaging, and you can't expect someone to reply to hundreds of messages out of which most are of scammers.

And I see some people trying to warn Hashrush investors that Hashrush is a scam project. For them I must say that I am myself an investor on Hashrush. And I am more than satisfied with the progress of hashrush. Their devs are attending popular crypto conferences, giving bi-weekly updates, sharing current and future plans and the community on discord is also very active. And all this after the fact that ICO has been over for around a month.

I will just suggest all of you, who haven't got their bounties to contact the team on discord, rather than threatening to bring bad publicity to hashrush. The project will continue as it should (you would know if you are an active member of their community).

campaign manager is doing his best to prevent abuse in the bounty campaign, I see that he is very competent to handle the entire campaign.
I wish goodluck to the team's future.

I can not agree with you that you do not consider the project fraud. People who cheat in little things can not be honest in a big deal. Once he stole a trifle - a thief. So it will steal later. And steal more.
These developers made the calculation for Twitter in general, regardless of the number of tweets, just to each member of 15 per week. This is not to count anything. And why not count? Because they did not intend to pay initially. Now think about the probability that out of 1330 participants only 5 people have them, and the rest are all bots. This does not correspond to logic, mathematics, or reality. So this is a lie.

Bounty Twitter lasted several months. All this time the participants did their work. This work was accepted, and no one was declared a bots. It was a lot of time to test the bots, but there was no verification. Because it suited them, that "bots" do their work for them. But when it was time to pay, they declared all the bots and refused to pay.

I was also robbed of my bounty.  I worked very hard for Hash Rush and was told I was a scammer.  The Hash Rush team used us to promote themselves then figured they likes the cash and kept it themselves.  That's fine keep your ill gotten gaines.  I made hundreds of retweets for you.  Now I will make hundreds of retweets against you. 

I will be in every ANN thread or social media attempt you make and I will direct them to this story and the many many people you have scammed.  Anyone reading this will see it's not one complaint but many. 

To the fellow talking about how he received his bounty and that Hash Rush did a great job make sure your sure.  When hundreds of angry bounty hunters destroy this project you wont have much more value than the people who did not receive.

Agree with you.
Only 5 people divided all twitters bounty boudget. They received more than signature participants. Dont get me wrong, but there are questions arise about their affiliation. It also concerns fb participants btw

[frankbeard]

Hash Rush stopped counting stakes.  Then they didn't pay.  LOL  Yup scamming.  

Hope they have a nice vacation on our hard work.  

Then they wonder why people cheat.  The biggest scammers are these projects not the bounty hunters.  Go see any bounty thread around payment time.  

Hash rush will soon watch their project fade away.  Can't piss off hundreds of social media guru's then think there will not be a backlash.  Should be fun.  

SCAM SCAM SCAM - Buyer beway

Guys hit them on social media as mentioned above.  I hae seem multiple projects taken out by bounty hunters.  Lets show Hash Rush we will fight!!!!

[Viklatishev]

Hi! Why I have not received any tokens? I participated in the Facebook campaign. My number in the fb table is 50

[dillonplayadoe]

You didn't receive any coins for your bounty because this coin is a scam, none of us got paid!!!!   Big fat SCAM!!!!

[vederfreds]

Oh, what a surprise, another SCAM COIN run by a SCUM SCAM ARTIST.  I spent a lot of time on the bounty for this just to find out I'm not getting nada.

I feel sorry for anyone that invested money, not just time. 

[queensly]

Wow, what a rip off.  I did all that work, spent all that time, and these jerkies are just running off with everything and not paying up.    That's cool, Karma will catch up with them.
