Unpaid bounty

[The Alchemlst]

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.

Sadly all we can do is to wait and hope that the bounty campaign does not actually scam our time and effort. Most of the bounty campaign tends to not give their rewards immediately due to strategic reasons and some is unfortunate issues like mine which the campaign have problems regarding its underwriters thus delaying the token's listing in the market. So far it keeps me at ease by continuously updating through their telegrams hoping for good news to come.

We can not do anything, when the bounty that we follow is a scam you can only give up. We can not stop them, we can only warn others to be careful with their scam site. This kind of thing happens very often, it happens to bounty hunters, that's why there are reviews like ico rating, icobench etc so we can choose ico which really works.

Yes. Thats true and there are so many scam projects. You have to extremely careful when you select the bounty to do. I used to follow below mentioned procedure to identify the genuine bounty campaigns.

1) Use below mentioned websites to find the best bounty campaigns. These websites are publishing good ICO's and we can do that ICO's bounty campaigns.
    www.icobench.com
    www.icotracker.com
    www.icodrops.com
2) After selecting ICO's from the above sites normally i read all the whitepapers to get the clear idea.
3) Then i read their road map and team members as well
4) Follow all the social media channels and join the telegram groups to know the updates
5) Get the ideas from Cryptocurrency experts
6) Do only projects from good bounty managers.

Further bitcoin talk forum is also the good platform for select the bounty campaign and you can choose good bounty campaigns and do. These days there is a good bounty campaign called "Eloncity" and you also can participate by clicking this link >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4443361

I would not say bounty is dead. But it has become much more competitive. With the sheer amount of hype, and participants. The reward is much2 less than last year. With the growth of cryptocurrency and the budget of the bounty is stagnant, that is why you fell like u're getting much2 less. With participants with legendary or similar ranks does not really feel it, but with Jr. Member / Members, the amount is getting much smaller. I would suggest to avoid doing bounty full time if u have a low ranking account.

very disappointing is the fact that now there are very few bounty campaigns that bring good revenue, most simply stop the campaign or cancel it, and even more simply transfer the terms for several months in front, even before the autumn.

[fammy]

We cannot hold the fact that several bounty are looks good because of the reward that they offered but ended as scam. Just a tip for you to avoid joining some bounty campaigns which were bogus and scam, you need to be a good observant, be mindful and be wiser in joining a specific bounty campaign so you can able to get paid and earn.

This is a consequence that I must accept in participating in crypto. Especially for me, the same thing will be felt by the perpetrator. Only positive guys.

It's difficult to know if that bounty campaign you join is a scam, check the ICO first if that ICO is legit, but even there are some legit ICO it could be fail because they don't reach their target cap so we will not rewarded in bounty, well let's hope that the bounty campaign we join is successful.

I came across bounty campaigns that did not pay about half a year. But a miracle happened, all the campaigns paid and I'm very happy.

[torch2121]

Normally very pissed and want to fly out of the country and see the creator and punch the face of the scammers. But this is impossible. Maybe better to ask question and what is the reason what the delay is. I think they will make a second thought of not releasing the token. Most especially if their rank is quite high. I think before an ICO is approved rank must be included in the qualification. This will lessen scammers.

[adam1230]

While market is bearish unpaid bounties are everywhere.
I think bounty rewards must be escrowed at the start of project.
So no one will work for free.

[yigitcoin]

it is usual thing anymore because there are many scammers here and fake icos so they want to take your time in order to make money for themselves so dont join wihtout searching.

[Nell Theres]

according to this, all members must have experienced the same thing as you. we must be able to know whether a project or not. it's easiest to know if a project is a Bounty manager. but there is also a scam. so If the team decides not to pay a bounty to the hunters, then you can not do anything. Fight for your rights of course you need.

[Jonnitor]

yeah there are some bounty campaigns which promised to distribute tokens in time according to their roadmap, but that promised is not met. Due to some issues like SEC regulations, bounty computations, stakes computation or developer issue.

[genixye]

Usually we should wait. You can go to the bounty telegraph and ask about it.

Rewards are usually paid, but some situations are inevitable, such as when the project doesn't reach the soft hat. There is no reward in this case. So we must choose potential projects when we choose rewards.

[boller]

When we participate in bounty and we get unpaid bounty, it is one of the risks that we must receive. In participating in bounty, there are upsides. First, we will get the rewards and earnings. Second, we will get nothing. For unpaid bounty, it is normal and many face it. But, it should be the lesson to be better in choosing the right bounty.

[espellogo7]

To avoid unpaid bounty research first before joining the bounty and be careful because there are many scams now...Just keep going and try another project. there are many good project out there...

How do you deal with this while your time has gone to work on bounty to promote their projects.

Doing bounty always have the risk and everyone is vulnerable on it so be picky on choosing one. See the team if legit like if the people behind it are all real and breathing. So yeah if you got scam just move on and forget what happened as surely something good must be bound to happen to you.

Just join bounty at your own risk.

[faranisa]

Nothing that we could do, that is why we called our self a bounty hunters which mean if we got the rewards then its good but if we don;t get the rewards, we find other else.

[oceana]

I have experienced what you feel, so I am sorry for what happened to you, but I am sure from this experience we know that not all bounty will get the results and provide benefits for us, but surely there will be other bounty that will provide benefits for we, then suppose bounty they do not pay as a free donation to the ICO.
