What happened::
I participated in the Bounty campaign of the Goal Bonanza project (Telegram, Facebook, Twitter). Received a reward only for the campaign in the Telegram. For Facebook and Twitter, tokens are not received. The manager first said that all payments are made. Then he changed his words, and said that I did not meet the requirements (but could not explain why I did not meet the requirements). In the spreadsheets my reward is counted.

Hi everyone!

I am the co-founder of Goalbonanza and this is a response for the accusations of fraud.

We paid out bounty to more than 900 members from BCT. The guidelines on the bounty page are very clear and non compliance with the guidelines and requirements does not qualify for bounty.

We did an external audit of stakes calculations and triple checked addresses for payout.

This is a serious project and we will not entertain isolated cases that claim we did not honor our obligations.

There are approx. 700m GOAL tokens in circullation and we wouldn't risk our reputation for few tokens.

However, we will not be blackmailed by opportunistic members that want to get more tokens by threatning to damage our project like this.

I invite all bounty hunters that got paid out to confirm this is a valid project and we will not be blackmailed by 5 or 6 BCT members.

If somebody thinks this is a scam project I suggest you reach out to bounty included in the project to get the other side of the story.

I'm not sure about the bounty situation as I'm not involved in the distribution, but I received all the tokens that I was supposed to receive.

In all fairness, bounty hunters have been low-quality-spamming the telegram for weeks about their bounty payment even when a proper date was announced for distribution.

The bans started coming because the discussion had no ending, bounty hunters kept claiming they are unpaid and the members of the project kept stating their terms & conditions, Its not suprising these bounty hunters that kept flooding the chat got banned because it became a serious annoyance for the community.

I understand you have some bias here as you obviously think you're right, else you wouldn't be making this thread. But the team and community has put up with the bounty hunters flooding and spamming for weeks at a time before taking drastic measures such as banning them from telegram. I think your statement is misplaced and I think the team has every right to deny payment of certain bounties when they deem it wasn't of quality, fraudelent or somehow else infringed their said terms & conditions.

Also very few are complaining about not receiving payments, so you should ask yourself first if you did anything that could have given the team a reason to not pay you, such as fraudelent behaviour. The ones that do complain are spamming the telegram up big time, as I said... so don't be suprised to get banned for that.

I see that these are not isolated cases.If we check the facebook table then we can see that many have not received their payments. I checked the wallets of several participants and see that they did not get their reward.

I'm very disappointed about this fraud risk alert post.
I have had an issue and privately they have solved it even if taking same days, due to a lot of work that daily they manage. I hope you solve your situation avoiding FUD that hit also your position.

It is very bad practice of admins here to allow usage of this forum for blackmailing.

Dear Ristic!
Nobody is blackmailing you. I fulfilled all the conditions of the campaign bounty. My stakes were calculated. But you could not explain why you did not transfer me tokens. To check my data you don't want. It is a pity that such a good project does this. I just asked to explain and check - who is wrong, you or me? But you could not explain anything. Very sorry.
Was forced to create this topic. Because in no other project has I met such an attitude to the participants of the bounty campaign.

How many pathos words - blackmail, opportunism. As if this is a cool political forum Smiley

Dear Ristic!
Can you answer the simple question: why did not I fulfill the conditions of the campaign? Where your proofs? My proofs in OP.
I worked for you for 12 weeks, and everything was fine.
I would be grateful for your reply.

Don't you "Dear" me Ivan.

I dont need to proof anything to anyone. Your posts were poor quality. Just copy/paste our content.... thats it. I could have got an army of bots to do this.

That is all from my side dear.

OK. Thank you for answer!
It is a pity that you did not say this before (it took 3 days to come up with a new rule).
And I'm very sorry for my time spent.
