Tell us about the dishonest bounty you encountered and remind others！

[duanavj]

Most project parties hope to promote their projects through rewarding activities. There are many requirements and commitments for participation in the rewards, but whether or not the implementation of commitments represents the integrity of the project parties. All of you say that you have encountered projects that do not comply with promises so that more people can see that avoiding long hours of work will ultimately result in no return.

Common situations:
1. The bounty is postponed, and it is extended after the deadline specified in the initial explanation, and it may be extended many times.
2. Delayed not issuing coins. After the bounty is over, it is always said in the statistics, but no token has been issued.
3. Suddenly changed conditions and contradicted the initial conditions, resulting in invalidation of previous rewards.
4. The third party team manages the bounty. After the end, the official and third parties push each other and no tokens are issued.

I hope that more people can speak out the problems they have encountered and point out what projects they are. The market does not need more dishonest projects, and more real and honest projects are needed.

If one day all of the bounty activities can be published and recorded using blockchain, then this kind of deception will be easier to find and then only honest projects will be left behind.

I experience some of that dishonesr of each bounty campaign now adays.  Commonly is adding a couple of weeks or even 1 months without adding allocation. Some are not paying, some change the allocation, some stop the bounty and some become scam. Its hard for us to find a legit campaign  with one word and promises. Fixed allocation and not look for result of total raised in usd

Therefore, it is necessary to discover those dishonest projects in time. If their rewards are not honest enough, who can guarantee that their projects can be seriously developed? Each bounty item has its own budget, and it should fix the pay for each task. If it just changes casually, I think the team is not mature enough to do things or they are intentionally forcing the participants to do more work.

Many times these project teams have disappeared, because these ICO projects cannot successfully complete the crowdfunding, so our bounty thread will not be paid, which is a sad story.

If you do some expert research, such as website, whitepaper,  team, roadmap, tranparent etc, Maybe you will get a good promising ICO. There is many ways to do reasearch. With a year you experience in ICO, i think you know about witch is good or scam.

[Shova]

There are a few kinds of bounty.
The scam that goes after ICO don't pay.
The project that don't get the softcap don't pay.
And some of them extend bounty for ridiculous amount of time while not increasing the reward and leaving them would disqualify you.
It should be compulsory for extended bounty to give it's participants leave without their stake being disqualified.

Too many bounty programs are dishonest. I feel that even if they fail, they should honor their promises instead of always trying to escape. This kind of project is a matter of character and it is not worth paying attention and investing.

If you focus on good projects there is a number of ways to really make a good success with a bounty. If you have a high bitcointalk rank the signature might be worthwhile. You can always go for translation bounties if you have an additional language to English. Also I have seen a lot of people very successful with Twitter bounties, if they have a following over there.

[neo10w]

Indeed, if you have encountered a bounty that has been in attendance for a long time, but in the end it has not been issued, then it is really sad. In general, the rewards project takes a total of one month to several months, which is a very long time cost.

[engwenqu01]

There is also a failed bounty program, which often disappears automatically and no longer speaks. This is also the reason for the bad market. In the current market situation, many waste projects have failed.

Some bounty will only get all your information in the future, including emails, then send spam to you, or defraud your private key. Please be careful not to tell anyone.

The higher the level, the more you get. But if you encounter a dishonest project and don't give the money at the end, then it is a big loss. A person's energy is limited, he can only participate in very few activities, and there are very few people who need to do translation. The key is how to find good projects and avoid junk, because too many bounty is very good at first, but it is very rotten.

as hunters bounty a lot of problems, promise not fulfilled scam, it seems also interesting If one day all bounty activities can be published and recorded using blockchain

[fransxavariustintin]

many ICOs just want to raise money quickly without doing hard work and tangible ideas, once ICO collects money, be it hard cap or soft cap achieved, they still do not continue the job and they choose to run away, I remember there are some ico like this.

[yeeyeyaya]

I often experience it, some do not pay even though ico has ended, some other time bounty spawn adds allocation. based on the experience, now I as a research first such as reading white paper, see the project team that is inside it.

Here is the best sign that crypto hasn't come very far yet and indeed is in need for a killer-app! For bounties what we need is a platform that is able to do that (probably exists already, ETH or similar) and is easy to use (I don't think this exists yet!)! Easy means easier (or not much more difficult) than maintaining an excel sheet but with all your mentioned advantages (and not too expensive either)

It is a shame with all the bounty-scams and very time consuming to find appropriate projects and bounty managers for one that is willing to do bounties. But there is also an opportunity in here to get a real-world blockchain app that can be useful for everyone!

This is what many people are very much looking forward to. Perhaps this is the dark time before the blockchain has just begun to spread. Just hope that this time will not be too long.

This the truely sadness of the icos bounty projects not comply to the participant efforts of the bounty hunters but need to accept this some problem of the icos scammers, also of the participants are not get the rewards the truly sads here is the investors can not get their money back investment  from the people behind the fake project.

Most of the ICO now are scam, and they will attract the investors to support and bounty hunter to participate their project with their promises.

Bounty is dishonest what else?
