Unpaid bounty

[batang_bitcoin]

When you have followed some bounty then at the end of the bounty they promise to distribute their tokens based on the time they have specified. But in fact, after waiting some time token not sent. What's worse, it turns out bounty that we have followed is a scam.
How do you deal with this while your time has gone to work on bounty to promote their projects.

I haven't been involved into any ICO nor invested nor joined.

In such cases the best thing that you can do to deal with this situation is to move on, move forward and learn from those scams.

You can't recover your losses, your effort and time that was wasted.

When you search for another bounty make sure you have learned from it and use the lesson from that experience.

This is a horrible situation and I know you feel bad, but this is the risk associated with this cryptocurrency market. The extreme volatility and the plethora of scammers and hackers have scared off many investors over time, but many people like me still invest time, money and effort despite the risks involved due to the possibility of earning small to huge rewards over time. I advise doing more research in the future op before choosing a particular bounty campaign. Luck is also an important factor in this aspect. Don't lose hope and choose better campaigns in the future op.

Can only wait and be patient I can do because it all takes time and process, if the time is over will definitely be paid if the project is not a scam, if not yet paid while others have been paid then we must report it to the admin from the project.

If it is really a scam, then you need to check what details you have given them and take any security precautions necessary.
If they just haven't paid the tokens, then often you are best contacting them in Telegram - I've found that often gives quickest responses to queries.

Really if they decide not to pay, there is nothing you can do except try to learn from it and take great care with the next bounty project you choose to follow.

You also have to bear in mind that sometimes a project fails to hit its soft cap at ICO. This means that they haven't made sufficient sales for the project to be viable. In this case no-one gets any coins because without any project they would be worthless.

Well this is a part of life of a bounty hunter, if the bounty manager decide not to pay, there is nothing you can do except trying to learn from it and take care with the next bounty project you choose to participate.

When you decides to join bounty program you should know the risk and unpaid is part of them. Never give up and join another bounty, by time you'll have knowledge to understand which one to join or not. There's nothing you can do about bounty payment, developer decision is final. patience is also needed to face this risk not just for hold, join several bounty is solutions.

That is why you as a bounty hunter will keep an eye on what seem to be suspicious to these ICO. Some of them are scam just as there are rotten apples in a basketful. Not getting paid means a waste of time. Don't rely much of your time on bounties, find a real job online. There are freelance sites for you to find job, one that you might wanna register soon is the bitjob.

bounty campaigns and airdrops i thonk they are an addition chance to earn momey, nit the main income, so you should be careful

[wpalczynski]

Just learn from it, search for something that could have given away the fact that they were scamming.

On your next bounty, pick your ICO more carefully than ever and I'm sure you'll get your motivation back.

Nothing, doing bounties is like gambling.
we are risking our time and effort on that project.
we promote them for their who ICO.
there are ICO that turned out scam.
there are ICO that don't want to pay bounties and giving so many reasons and delay.

Ill think it is not a scam because some bounty was too busy to compute some stake in the spreadsheet, And they will going to distribute if you have some patient abount to your bounty rewards. Even me i'm always experience in that so must better to wait to your rewards.

Yes, I experienced something like that, and it feels very disappointing. For the next, of course should be more selective in choosing the project. In addition, should be more vigilant in following the project with the same manager, so as not to happen again.

[keycellko]

My friend has experienced the same thing. But what i told him was that not all campaigns in bitcointalk are scams. I told him some points he needs to check to minimize or even assure you are not scamed. Here it is:

1. Know the manager. Check feedbacks, previous campaigns run. Rank also matters but not entirely, it means he is trusted long term in the forum
2. Read/research. Check the whitepaper if the project is worthy. Check the website if its working.

[ArkiCrypto]

First of all as a bounty hunter you should know that 90% of the project you've joined may end up as a failure or a SCAM. That's the risk you're going to face as a bounty hunter, that's why I decided not to involve with the bounties (But I joined sometimes when I did a research of the project and believe it was legit)

The thing you can do that is to report the bounty manager and the project so other will be aware of it, that's the best thing you can do... and about the reward, you may not get it.

[chocochild]

Doing bounties is like betting in the lotttery you will never know if you can get the jackpot and who will pay it incase you win.

[Komandor8957]

Once the bounty program is over, then I do not expect when I will receive a reward for it. I am taking up the next and starting monitoring project in which I participated, I follow his successes and defeats.

[hell_slayer]

I think unpaid bounties becomes something common nowadays. I'm facing it from time to time , but this year is a a total disaster , because the amount of scam bounties has doubled. Sometimes it's not a scam , but just a project which facing with financial problems (which is not rare in present days) , in this case I'm trying to talk with their team in telegram or on forum to clarify payment dates and corrected roadmap . It usually works well and all I need to do furher is wait for distribution . But in some cases , when project turned into scam , I really don't know what we can to do , so I don't bother about it. I believe karma will find them with time .

[cbIpok]

You feel bad at first but there's nothing to do, it's some kind of gambling. Sometimes projects run their own bounty and this is even worse if they dont pay you.
