Perhaps this topic will arouse extreme emotions, but it needs to be created. I will not write exactly why I decided to do it.
I do not intend to accuse anyone. However, it is true that unfortunately many bounty campaigns are conducted without honesty. I met this myself.
How to best deal with suspicions of fraud - intentional actions (e.g. not counting coinage or not paying out money) [it is really easy to find out that something is wrong] ?
How to counteract it. Unfortunately I recently met with a bounty which was quite successful. I don't know what to do at all. On one side I have it somewhere. People will always not be honest. On the other hand, it awakens anger and a desire to warn against dishonest people and the ICO (even the successful ones) for the future.
One thing. Only not telling me that the rank or merit of something gives here. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the "higher" you are: someone is, the more you are in your ass (of course it's not the majority, but unfortunately it's still a large part of this group).
Even though your expression is not really straight forward and difficult to understand, I still get a glimpse of what is being said. A visit to the bounty section of the forum will just show the amount of bounties running concurrently. How on earth would there be accountability? You see the bounty campaign is an infested area of crypto currency and its a dicey area to really take a decisive action to clean up because it will be interpreted as a way to kill initiative as the way I interpret it, developers just use it as a way for cheap advertisements.
That is not to say there are no legitimate ones there which makes the responsibility of not being ripped off time and energy falls on the bounty hunters not to just jump at every nicely designed thread, every "first" technology and that "great" team composition because you will mostly have to wait till after the ICO before having the chance of being paid which would have been several weeks gone.
