Can you tell which campaign is doing this ? I have not seen any signature campaign doing this so far from different campaign mangers in signature campaigns which are paying in bitcoins. It sounds really surpassing because there is actually no need of email for payment.
Till the problem gets sorted out, you can simply change your email on this forum and use a temporary mail that cannot be associated with your identity. You can do this by going in your forum settings and it will hardly take a minute.
It's not the sig. campaign, it's about bounty campaigns.
It's necessary if they need some sort of contact information from you to, you know, get in contact with you and update you on their ICO etc. There will be no rule implemented that they can't ask for this but you are free to either not give them it, not join their campaign, or give them a throwaway account. There are numerous ways you can protect yourself here.
I'm not talking about the ICO here, they may need the contact info to contact us for any reason.
I'm talking about the campaign managers here, they can hide the contact info column from the spreadsheet so that it doesn't get into the wrong hands.
On daily basis I receive so many emails that I didn't subscribe, so I afraid my email id along with others is selling out there in the market and the issue we are talking here can be the source of collecting email ids.
And of course, peoples have their own choice to join or to not join in a campaign.
An email account is used in order to communicate with you in order to sort some problems that might appear during a campaign. Or maybe they just use it to create a database to which the would send info, updates or maybe just to try to convince you to participate in an ICO.
Anyway, giving your email in order to join a bounty it`s a normal thing, and you can at any time set filters to your email in order to not receive any spam.
If you don't get so many unwanted emails on daily basis then its normal for you, but if you receive so many of them, its spam. In this forum we always fight against spam, so this issue also belongs to spam family.
It's not really a bounty manager's fault if the service/ICO they're promoting requires email addresses to keep a track of their users which seems fine to me.Anyway ICO's have fucked anonymity to the core big time (which was suppose to be the basic principle behind any crypto-currency).
Bounty idiots don't mind sharing shit over their actual social media accounts so it is not anyone's fault but the person who chose to do so.
You didn't understand my point.
The topic is all about bounty managers here. They are exposing our email ids through this forum, not the ICOs. Please read my reply above for Hilarious.
I'm not talking anything outside the forum, an ICO company may be selling our contact info after the end of ICO and we can't do anything if they are really doing this.
I agree with you that the anonymity is fucked up by the ICOs and it will fuck up more over the time when more regulation is added.
The number of idiots are not less in bounty hunting, including myself. It is great to know that you are not an idiot like us.
Please do provide the bounties which are doing so. A lot of new projects do that because they need to keep everyone who is connected to their projects even the bounty hunters updated about their project and promote it.
What you can do is create a new email id just for the sole purpose of providing it to the bounty managers and getting all the emails these projects send for promotion purposes.
I am thinking to use temp mail from now on.
I don't see negativity effect with that its only my email and I think its more helpful to be updated on the project we are focusing on. My own concern of joining a bounty is providing us KYC for a deal just to receive the payments and its not worth it. I think that is one should be change.
KYC is a big issue, but I'm talking about a small issue here which can be solved easily if the
"bounty managers hide the contact info column from the public". I think its a simple solution.
