Cheating in bounty programs

[jbautistangina]

This is the fact that we need to understand,bounty managers will always have the right to change any rules of the program.I know it is unfair but some of these people really doing shady business just to get a lot of money from the bounties,and they will give those hard working bounty hunters pennies in exchanges for promoting the ICO for months.

What do you mean: do something at the end of the company? Undoubtedly, the fact that the manager has the right to change the rules during the company, I previously had such a case, but everything worked out and in the end the manager kept his promises.

I encountered one recently, Coinvest. They are not giving stakes if you don't invest in their crowdsale and it wasn't said in the bounty paper. Some guy learned it after talking to admin and he left the bounty group after pointing that...

Moreover, they'll be distributing bounty rewards throughout the year, a part of the bounties each quarter... I mean what the actual f*ck?

[Emilyearl]

It's true. Most bounties don't pay their participants at the end of the day. Some projects after their  tokensale,  bring out stuffs like KYC knowing fully well most participants are not comfortable sharing their private details due to it being sold. And most times I wonder what they do with the bounty allocation do they share it among themselves or what do they really do with it.

We cant really avoid these scam bounties,even the bounty manager are getting scammed too,that is why we need to be vigillant,research first before you join any of these bounties so it will give you more chance to get your stakes at the end of the campaign.Few of good manager i have been following was also getting involve with scam projects so that means there are no assurance from the start.

I just read a thread or comments that are stating that bounty campaign manager are one of the cause why ICOs and projects failed due to their very strict qualifications for bounty hunters and strict implementation for rules and guidelines.
I have some bounty campaign managers who don't really performed well because I just noticed that while the campaign is running, most participants are leaving. And that will lessen the promotion of ICO ads because there are too few members who are helping them promote their ICOs and projects.

i've read a lot about getting familiar with the bounty manager, how do one suggest that?? i've seen often that rules change like anything. i got 20$ worth tokens to promote an ico for a month (not that iam complaining) but asking bounty mangers about the campaign also invites nightmares. i am hoping if someone could suggest a basic filter, if there is any, to identify a legit bounty project.

Of course, some campaigns turn into a scam, and not paying for the work to promote the project, however, the community is a force that can influence the project. Btw, what successful ICO was not paid the rewards? And at the same time look at the scam from the side of the participants: https://etherscan.io/address/0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471#tokentxns Do you think you can earn a lot if together with you in a social campaign is multi accounts of 100-200 participants?

Yeah that is true,some of the bounty managers are lazy to update the spreadsheet or they are too strict with the qualifications,you need to post quality contents if you dont you will be removed without any warnings,i have a bad experience with some bounty managers here who are too lazy to get the spreadsheet updated,and if you ask them you will be ignored,some of the managers are too strict that is why most of the bounty participants are leaving.

I may be naive, but I don't want to think that projects are deliberately deceiving.
I admit that something went wrong as the creators conceived and didnt manage to earn and reward us.

[jackolinyoko]

It shouldnt be some,but most of the bounty campaigns are cheating just like what happen to the SAPIEN's network bounty campaign which has caused a lot of problem with the bounty managers,in the official bounty thread they indicated 5% of the total tokens sold will be given to the bounty hunters but it seems the hunters got only .004% that is why most of the bounty hunters got angry and at the end the bounty manager doubled the first stakes,the reason is they didnt mentioned that there will be a lot of bounty phases which is clearly a scam because they should put that in the thread,and they shouldnt put the 5% because it is clearly a clickbait.

[yura_878]

Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.

I think it's all bad because we are doing work and have to get money, but dishonest companies want to deceive us, but we need to be together and then they will not be able to do these machinations.

[Ini35]

This seems to now be the norm and the order of the day - change in rules at the end or almost at the end of campaign. This i feel is not fair enough.
State your rules whenever campaign is about to start. Those that cannot comply to the rule will simply draw back, instead of wasting their precious time and efforts on a campaign and at the end of the day, they seem not to get any thing in return.
This should be critically looked into.

Hi everybody i am new to bounty but i hope they are not cheating because you invet time in it

[hrt197]

Watch the KYC at the end bounties.  They get you all nice and juiced up for your reward.  You did all the hard work then they ask for the real prize. Your passport.  You may end up doing the work, not getting paid and then have your passport or national ID sold on the dark web.  

[Victor Beckham]

It is not that I think some of them are cheating. I know for sure that some of them are cheating. That is why everyone should choose careful where to play.

agreed bounty managers should clear the fact that how many total tokens will be there and for how many weeks bounty will run .

I know one more ico who alloted around 9 million tokens for bounty but in real they are giving tokens per week instead of stakes per week ..
which will save a lot of tokens for them .

[reypinioco]

There will be always bad tomatoes inside the basket,you need to calm down everytime these people tried to cheat,rules are rules but the bounty managers should be misued the previlege that they have because the bounty hunters are working hard to get their stakes at the end of the campaign hoping that they will earn decent amount of money after promoting an ICO for months.

many projects that do not pay, I experienced it several times. should be more in the real project filter real. but that's the weakness. everyone is very easy to promote the project he created. without we know the project is really real or just deceive by just collecting funds from investors. I think this is a staff job of this forum to track the truth of the project.

[danherbias07]

If they came here and want to managr their own campaign then it better be escrowed.
If not, there is a large possibility they can just walk away and forget all of it.

We have good managers here who are serious into getting better campaigns. Those legitimate ones which will pay off until a bounty ends. Both bounty hunters and the company who started the ICO will get better results at the end of the campaign.
