A new bounty scam

[marketone]

is still acceptable for me, I think they do KYC process to all their bounty hunters to minimize the risk of bounty cheaters.

at least you should remember this rule and I think this rule always there in every bounty...

We reserve the right to change bounty campaign rules.

If you want to be paid, you should accept their rules...

It is impossible to change the bounty rules once after they decided because we are joining their bounty according to the rules set by them. So it is always good to check the rules before joining any bounty because without rules it impossible for them to reach their target users.

Currently a lot of projects are phishing. What should newbie do?

I think the KYC now is one of the requirement to follow for bounty hunter besides the investors. If the bounty campaign rules changed from no KYC require to Need KYC to require I think because the rules are changing for some reason and better we follow it. That's my opinion.

Many bounty campaign are now becoming more strict and that is the reason why you should always follow some bounty managers you have enjoyed their previously manage campaign. Not every bounty worth joining. in fact majority of the bounty campaign will have this days are either going to pay penny or not pay at all. Probably the project discover that they are going to be giving out large amount of money to the hunters and they probably do not reach hardcap and so they are looking for a way to reduce the numbers hunters that qualify to recieve token. It is very common for ICO to change Rules this days.I cant forget Globitex bounty campaign. they did the same for hunters and when the hunters are annoyed the bounty manager was telling them to indicate their number on the spreadsheet so that he can remove their token. that was the worst bounty campaign I have witnessed here on BTT.

KYC requests in campaigns is required now in some of it
But it is disgusting to ask for this after months of campaigning
All details must be clear from the beginning.

I think there is nothing wrong if the team changes to become KYC compulsory, some of the projects that I followed were like that. and that doesn't mean entering into a scam category, they only change the rules as long as the project continues to run it doesn't matter. and maybe you can read on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 there we can find reviews of several projects that are likely to be scams review user member on bitcointalk.

you don't need to accuse a bounty project of being a scam just because it asks KYC from participant bounty, I think it is normal for now, and I feel that KYC for participant bounty doesn't need to be that detailed, maybe ID and selfie are enough. too risky if you have to provide detailed information about us, KYC is actually used to prevent spammers and in my opinion, it is effective and does not need details, you are not allowed to accuse SCAM just because of this, the developers have the right to determine or change a regulation related to bounty campaign.

[iconoclast]

I can understand why you are upset by this. They should have made you aware at the begining that you would have to go through a KYC process. There is actually no jurisdiction on the planet that would legally require KYC since no money has changed hands. Having said all that it is likely that you will find it difficult to join any reputable bounty in the future that will not require you to prove your identity before collecting your reward. The reason is that people cheating by signing up to bounties with multiple identities has become a very big problem.

GOLDMA started their bounty campaign in April, and then 1 week before the end (in October) they said they require full KYC meaning:

- Proof of address
- Government issued card
- Selfie holding the ID

Is there any ICO requiring such information from bounty hunters?! To me this is a SCAM to get private details and sell on dark markets. Imagine what they can do with such information! I have never seen anything like this, be careful of these scammers from GOLDMA.

Has anyone experienced something similar from other bounty?

*edit* It stated first that NO KYC REQUIRED FOR BOUNTY, this changed 1 week before the end

There is a possibility that that campaign is scam but no one really knows unless you read something really suspicious in the whitepaper. However, KYC is not a proof that a bounty is a scam.  There are a lot of bounty campaigns that requires KYC. And I have an experience where the campaign ask for a KYC and they gave me the number of tokens they promised.

Goldma project seems like legal.if you want tokens you need to  submit your kyc. now even airdrops was required kyc so kyc is required to find multiple accounts and some other reasons.

[Gastonic]

No it was not a scam for me. They have the authority to change the rule anytime of the bounty period and requiring KYC is complying only with the law and to prevent multi accounts of bounty hunters.

[siupang2]

Well it is normal for us to do the KYC, it is avoid the fake account to be paid. You want your work shared to people that cheated in the project? If you don't want to do the KYC then you will not receive your payment, it's not scam is avoid the project to pay fake people. Your identity might not safe but it is only the way to get paid.

[warrior.coins22]

That is one way to make the bounty hunters disappointed. Supposedly if it is needed by KYC, it will be more transparent to write on the rules since it was first announced on the bounty. I think this doesn't make sense, it will really disappoint participants.

[kier010]

it seems wrong to the bounty hunters but ICO teams have the right to change their rules. if they don't require KYC they might get sued. government are strict now because many use crypto in illegal activities.

[dubynin1990]

Hard to say, I would not say that it is a Scam. It is quite possible that this new features will only help the market, but I'm not sure yet, see what happens and then make conclusions. KYC know not where we will, on the one hand is a plus, on the other, nothing good will.

[akitha]

its a common thing now for us bounty hunters, most of the bounty campaign required KYC now.. And for the rule stated their i think it depends on the team, maybe they change their mind..Its quiet upsetting because they stated that its not necessary but at the end need kyc to claim the rewards.

[ashaksagnis]

i also participate in goldma bounty campaign and i hope that i will be good. They changed rules in last week about KYC.  its hard to trust . When i will see final spreadsheet with earned tokens then i will make desision to send id or not, if its woth or not. i feel like little  bit cheated but will see. i hope that they will not reduce % for signature campaign.

[Russlenat]

Bounty rules altered depends on the project team so we must be ready at all times, if you want to give your kyc then you can continue or not because you think that they are scam then leave that campaign.

[Anish02]

KYC for bounty hunters is a common thing now. This is not a sign of a scam, moreover, many of the ICO warned about this in advance.

Yes, absolutely agree with you, nowadays it is so common to ask KYC for the bounty hunters. And due to this information or data they are not scamming you, they just need some proofs or security verification for our safety.

tjere ar e a l9t pf scammer but do hot get paraniod 8t does jot mean that every voin is a scam one br more optimistic

[yescrypto]

What if they found out that there are many participants and running multiple accounts, they had no choice than doing the KYC just to avoid cheat in the game so you can't easily decide they are scam you just have to do it if you want your stake to be reward to your wallet if not trust me you aren't getting a dine. Since is theirs they have the right to do what they want
