Cheating in bounty programs

[Applechild]

yes and i want to believe the cheating was pre-planned, it wouldn't just happened. after reaching their desired caps in order to keep all to themselves they will come up with excuses and task that is impossible for bounty hunters to fulfill and at the end use this a yardstick for non-payment. i have experienced it several times. and if at all they decide to pay. the token will be too small to use for anything. meaning it is useless

There are really projects that are scam and others that even being reliable postpone to the maximum the payment of bounties. But it's part of the business and we will not always be successful on the bounties.

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.

Saying that they do not what to pay is wrong, they can not pay because they could not raise that much initial funds. It's not always scam but most of the time failure.

 Its unfortunate but it happens, the bounty mangers these days come up with silly rules to be met for rewards to be issued yet the bounty hunters worked tirelessly hard to earn these tokens, its unfortunate these things happen these days yet there is Little that can be done about them, its  the bounty hunters energy time and investment that goes to waste in the long run yet some of the managers reap from it, its very unfortunate, something should be done about this

Right now the most common way of cheating from bounty campaigns is that at the beginning they do not disclose the fact that they will require that you identify yourself and go through know your customer policies, this means that at the end people will have to choose to either give their documents away or forfeit all the work they have done for the bounty campaign, and to me that is a very dirty move.

In fact, this is a large obex of those who do not pay hunters because this work is not appreciated.

I've heard of bounty programmes where this has happened but never encountered it so not sure how often it occurs. Seems simply way to prevent it in future is with some sort of holding system where tokens are distributed and criteria is independently reviewed by the platform.

    I've already experienced joining bounty program and at the end they didn't pay the bounty participants. Another one at the beginning of the campaign the rules are clear that's why many hunters participated but after bounty program finished they changed the rules when they start distributing the tokens for their members. Members not received the amount stated at the beginning of the program. I think we can't avoid those things to happen because the program manager is the one who rule over it. We are lucky if the manager in the program we joined is good,honest,responsible and not cheating the budget for the participants.

This things happens nowadays. In my cases there are lowkey scams happening like you thought the project will work out but after the ICO.
The price value of the coin is a trash and it'll be the constant price. Some of them listing it on a exchange site with a low volume.

[michael23]

The bounty of the company do not cheat. If you were deceived, it was done by the creators of the ICO project, but this does not apply to the bounty of the company. Bounty company engaged managers, which makes no sense to steal your tokens.

I think that it exist a minority of projects that are cheating, i have participate in a project i don't went to say the name they don't give us any thing i was disappointed from that because i participate for 6 months and after this long time i don't get anything, but it's not the case of all the projects it exist the good one.

[ninis45]

I ever, have not paid according to my work in the spreadsheet and this is whether cheating is done by the gift manager or done by the company developer
because I do not know who distributes tokens when a bounty program is done

[Rhosadah]

gift managers who do not pay or cheat by cutting the allocation of funds to participants usually do not include token allocations for participants,
and at the end of the campaign, the amount received is a bit unsuitable for the work we do.
even working for nearly six months,

[signofnero]

Yes, I think sometimes the scam is perfected by the companies. At other times, the campaign managers do this so as to garner more profit to themselves by withholding what should be paid out.

There are some bounty campaign managers are doing the trick of joining their alt accounts on the campaigns they managed and then they put some strict rules and guidelines so that some members will be expelled out while the end of the campaign is ending. So the bounty stake will become higher.
I don't know, seems to be true.
It's only my opinion and I do hope some members will find it real.

have a nice days everyone

This is very rampant with bounties that are not so strong or untrue with their ideas. They change the rule of the game as soon as they see that many participants are making real progress with their task and they know they will not be able to reward every participant, then they find excuses or even disqualify some participant because they do no want to loss. They should always state all necessary conditions before hunters begin to join the campaign as this would make them aware of the conditions and be sure to participate and get reward not completing a task and then you give an excuse.

[aquamand]

You should be careful. Just like in daily life there is also people who want to make their works for free. But in this forum I haven't found anyone that cheats so far.

[designcoinz]

Most of the bounty programs won't cheat users by not paying them at the end of the campaign but normally they would reduce bounty rewards per user if they didn't raise enough money in the ICO. I've seen many bounty campaigns doing this at the end.

This is why I don't really choose up those Bounty Programs that do have 3-4% on overall supply or do have claims  2m-4m in usd rewards because chances of these kind of bounties turns out to be scam in the end if not then high tendency that they would changed allocation percentage in the end which it turns out to be a deceiving move made by them. Worst case on here is that some of them now do announce or ask KYC in the end of the campaign for its bounty hunters. Wtf?

[btcrich2020]

Sometime it will happen in Bounty campaign because once they become familiar they will start reducing the pool which allocated to the bounty. These type of thing happen many times in the bounty, they have the right to change the allocated pool anytime they want.

I made a spreadsheet of the last bounties from managers, the interaction with which was positive and successful:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B4sMp4rDeYjPn3Lkbxn6Ot5KLQFERPXloIl5lUbTVBg/edit?usp=sharing

The table will be update, it will be possible to follow the appearance of new companies from these managers and to fit into the project on time.
I think it can be useful to many people, I personally did not have enough of this information in due time.
Use with pleasure!
Good luck in the projects!


If you consider it necessary to add managers or what information, write.
