Organized crime in bounties...

[iancortis]

thats why kyc process is a big help to know legitimate hunters. sometime managers has also connected with this kind of crime they leave it happen because maybe some of fakes accounts are made from theirs. so, much better to know who is the best and trusted leaders.

I think that's really unfair for legit bounty hunters trying their best. Imagind being cut off by a large margin of fake accounts or multiple accounts.

What if I tell u that there are a couple official bounty teams who constantly cheat on bounty participants? I guess u know them too.

[Biscutard]

This is not new these days because the bounty era has slowly been gone due to these bots and fake accounts plus the lazy manager who just check every weekends but not doing anything during workdays. I hope someone would settle things first if someone was into a bounty campaigns because as a bounty hunters i feel bad for being cheated.

1. Check everyone who enters the bounty.
2. Updates stakes frequently so scammers know you are watching.
2. Don’t be lazy, put in the work...


I hope this was helpful...

Bounty programs wont really ever get rid of cheaters as long those people do see the opportunity on making money there would always be a tendency to cheat.
For bounty managers inexperienced would really have that flaw even the professional ones where there are really people can still pass out even how the manager would
check out.Not all are perfect but good managers can somehow detect but still need assistance from the participant itself.

thank you this is very helpful, lately I've become more serious about the projects I do bounties about

[Dessy88]

this is extremely bad as people who want to earn honestly tokens simply cannot compete with bots and get a penny for the bounty campaign. it should not be

It really is, but most people have no idea what’s happening. They think bounty hunters are lazy, but we are not!! It the scammers and bounty managers who are lazy.

thank you, bro, at least we all can be careful now, I've also heard that all there are many scammers in the crypto world. we have to take care of our account from fraudsters.

Hmm i was not aware of the article stealing in such amount, i doubt that that it is happening in such huge scale and even if translating with google is going trough then managers are to blame, this is their work.

About the airdrops, I actually dont care . Good for them, if they actually can find decent airdrop which will allow yo use bots . I mean if they are able to all the tasks necessary to obtain airdop, which is a handful most of times.

That's is truly correct some people create an project to got earn in a bad ways
That's the reason investors are scared to invest in bounty project because of that kind of modus
But not all bounty are scam there are so many bounties are working good with good promises
It's better to investigate well before take risk investing in scam project

Bounty scam situation is very much, the ratio is occupying more than 70%. Currently, there is no solution that can solve this scam situation, the only way is to pick ICO carefully to avoid scam. With the current bad market condition, it is challenging to find good ICO projects.

I didn’t believe it myself until...
Imagine you are an English speaking bounty hunter reviewing Asian languages articles; spammed 100’s of times under hundreds of accounts? Article are targeted because it has the fewest participants.

The problem is not only with bounty hunters, there are also many bounty managers who took money for managing scam ICO.

[tuthienloc92bk]

Because bounty managers are not moderated, only tag from DT members is not enough,...

Let try to get a red trust with comment "Cheating bounty with alts account" and you will know what effect of work that DTs are doing.

so when theymos still doesn't want to control this, it still happens.

Actually, this name of forum is Bitcointalk, not Bountytalk. Even Altcoin section just appeared in few years ago. And Bounties is a child board of Altcoin section, it is as a sub-part of Bitcointalk forum. If theymos and his team decide to excute Bounties section, Bitcointalk will be still alive.

Thanks for sharing this post because I have never faced such scams before and I hope not to face them. I will be careful and will check the bounty more carefully than I did before

The performance of a bounty manager is indeed taken into account, the impact is that if they manage the bounty campaign well then the result is they will get good rewards from the developer for a project and assessment from the bounty hunter. Bounty campaign is a promising promotional place for a project, so it is time for every bounty campaign actor, whether it is a bounty manager, a bounty hunter must really make a positive contribution to a project. And in many forums, people have made a study of the bounty campaign manager who is very trusted, so as I suggest if you are a bounty hunter if there is a bounty manager who becomes a bounty campaign then you can take part in the bounty.

I have heard about such crimes but have never faced them. I think that it is difficult but possible to avoid such scams if you know the pecualiarities of the whole system. To my mind, you should be able to check its reputability

[Panteleymon]

Fraudsters always act according to a well-established pattern and rarely make adjustments. If you are promised gold mountains for nothing, then your brain should immediately cut off dreams from reality, otherwise you will end up as a mouse in a mouse. There is nothing complicated about it.

I agree with the author, this topic is very relevant now. In bounty, and especially in airdrop many scammers, who register their numerous accounts. In bounty campaigns, I often saw reports written with a difference of 1-2 minutes from Junior membur's accounts, and often having a negative trust and the same location and registered at the same time. I wrote to the Manager about it. I suspected these reports were sent by bots.

[Cryptomilz]

They shouldn't be that difficult to detect, if they're using bots for sign-ups etc.
If the campaigns are actually somewhat decent, they can easily figure out the patterns of these bots and just deny them any payouts automatically.

That said, some campaigns just do not care. They're just in it for a quick money grab and they'll just pay out tokens to these bot farms.
Probably because it's cheaper for them than actually trying to fix it.

Very easy to detect for a bounty manager that is serious. Once signed up for a bounty and while still on the spreadsheets, hundreds of sign up were dropping in minutes. I detected it and called the attention of the bounty manager to it, and he said he's working to handle it.

This natural that bounty hunters will be blame because we all know that we are the same person that seek money here so we cannot deny that being called a scammers also.
