What happened:: I had applied for the Hindi translation bounty in August for the BMC bounty campaign and I submitted my translation on time. As per the rules known to me, I had to give my email address to the bounty campaign manager which I did and I was told that I'll be paid. After this, their bounty thread was deleted due to the new rules introduced for bounty campaigns and their ANN was locked. I was unable to trace them on any channel and hence joined their telegram channel. I wasn't aware that their bounties were already distributed on October 1st and when I got to know the same, I logged into my account on
http://icoreward.com and noticed that I did not get any reward even though I submitted my details. On contacting the bounty manager on telegram on 22nd October, he says that I did not attach my account on the website but as I could see there was no translation link on their website:

Now since they already distributed the tokens on 1st October, the bounty manager says that there are very less chances of getting the tokens while another team member has already refused to pay the tokens (

On my part, I had done what they require and if my account was not attached in their website, they could have told me the same but they said that they'll add my stakes which made me think that everything was right on my part.
There are many campaigns that run a second distribution as people miss out on the first due to issues while here I get no response from the team since 22nd whether or not I will receive my payment. I have no clue whether I'll get my payment or not but it seems that they won't pay me and hence I opened this thread to share my disappointment. I have been paid by projects even after their first distribution like District0x, MyBit, and they all have been kind enough to distribute tokens even though participants have been late in submitting their payment addresses.
I agree that it was my mistake as well as I couldn't get access to the rules and did not follow their telegram channel all the time to keep myself updated but it's because I had already submitted my details. They say that I am a month late but now again over 2 weeks have passed and I have not received any assurance of my payment. This would have been the same if I had told them immediately after their distribution on October 1st. I completed my work honestly and I was not paid by them despite of submitting my work on time.
