Safe Bounty hunters

[bigcash2011]

Most projects do take bounty hunters for granted and they donot want to give the rewards as they have taken the work in advance from them especially in the bear market. As soon as market conditions improve i think bounty market will also improve and grow.

[khufuking]

Really! If this is even an option then the efforts should be focused on saving investors money first not Bounty-hunters.

The warnings about making sure to research any project before joining it are widespread all over the forum if you join a project without making proper research do not blame anyone but yourself.

When we speak, think and strive for decentralization, we must understand that criminals always accompany this way, the task of crypto is to bring the mechanism to the level to oppose them but not to limit the freedom of honest people.

[Deagle21]

I think the forum can do some kind of check for projects that want to post their ICO on this forum. for example, you can make some kind of video confirmation of the team

[Cloud_miner]

I am sure that demanding any activity from the forum administrators aimed at reducing the number of fraudulent projects is not something we should do, the forum administration has nothing to do with this, they are not experts in this industry. This is not their business. This should be handled by government agencies or specialized organizations that have the appropriate resources.

All i see is that bounty hunters have to work as much as he can to earn from it these days because you never whose coin is the real deal you just have to keep working because some will actually pay, most of them now pretend not to be the one who organized the bounty they act like do they really need bounty campaign after they've used them.

This forum has long been used to promote ICO crypto startups. On the one hand, the forum was not created for this (?). On the other hand, scammers can easily make money. And it's not just bounty hunters. Investors, BTC, the whole crypto industry are depressed and discredited.
This is not the best situation, it needs a change.

forum moderators do not have to select the right projects or not. but bounty managers should do this. so you need to choose the right managers.
I was participating in Desico. and i was thinking that this is a good project. I hope they will go to the prison

You have a point, so its better to be more familiar to those managers with a recent good bounty project because those mangers has the possibility to handle a good project again, because they know how to choose which project that has the possibility to bring a good future for each participants to avoid scammers and to protect their reputation in this forum as one of the trusted managers.

This is one way how to choose bounties.

I hope Bitcointalk will start caring about its people ,there should be new moderators that can fish out bad projects on here to avoid wasting time of bounty hunters ,and about KYC ive come to think of it as many bounty hunters don't like KYC I'm sure if Bitcointalk is the one asking for KYC so as to limit frauds and multiple accounts bounty hunters won't complain, we will follow the rules ,but first 'SAFE US FROM BAD SCAMMY PROJECTS' ,no matter how wise we investigate a project they end up been scam ,scammers are getting wiser as well.looook at desico for example Can anyone tell me if he/she knew Desico is a scam from day one? I guess not

i think a new moderator can't solve this problem. we don't know some projects are good or bad. even a moderator. i ever join some projects which have rating over 4.5 of 5. and they have very good documents to read and have a good vision too. but still, they've scammed me. so, i think the only one who can prevent us from scam project is ourself.  we must extremely careful before join some bounties.

Are you kidding!! Desico scammed? If it is real then I just can't believe it. I thought this project will be good if they reach enough cap from the token sale! But I never thought it can be a scam! That's why I am supporting STO, because I guess crypto needs regulation now to save people from these types of scam!

And, Your proposal is the demand of time, but I think bitcointalk won't follow that! Because no one can ensure you which project will give you profit and which not! Like Centra coin and Desico! So, that will destroy bitcointalk's reputation!

[farosa]

In my opinion, sometimes it is not easy to know that the project is scam. People are losing thousands of dollars in some of them. If you search for Bitconnect, you will know how the noble scam should be. 

[chanler]

I think that Bitcointalk has helped us as the bounty hunter by providing so many bounty programs that we can select to follow, However, to hope that they can help us to be safe in joining in the bounty I don't think that it will happen. This forum includes more discussion and we can seek for the recommendation and discussion about certain projects. We can see how the people are interested in a bounty or investing in ICO. Using the KYC is one of the requirements. So why should we hope this forum to make us safer? We ourselves the one who can make us safe.

[ralle14]

There are threads posted in the beginners and help board that explains different ways to check if an ico you're promoting is legit or not example. The scam accusation board is another place to look for icos that are fake. The information is already out there you just have to spend more time browsing the forum and try not to rush yourself when you see a good paying bounty campaign.

Are you kidding!! Desico scammed? If it is real then I just can't believe it. I thought this project will be good if they reach enough cap from the token sale! But I never thought it can be a scam! That's why I am supporting STO, because I guess crypto needs regulation now to save people from these types of scam!

After they've moved from ICO to STO they decided not to pay the bounty participants instead they gave out an apology. Here's the discussion thread few days ago.

[Lacoste]

It's a good idea. I also think that is necessary. Bitcointalk forum needs to verify information from the team of projects to ensure safety.
KYC and a call (video call) to make sure they are real.

[Ini35]

It is not the duty of  to act in such capacity and they are not compelled to do that, except they choose to act in that capacity.

[Alluro]

You can do a few things right now. Choose good bounty managers to before start your works. The next thing is your own research. The research is helping to find good and to rated projects.

It is difficult to know if the project is a scam at first.
But you can prevent of having them if you will review the project and make some research though you will not be a hundred percent safe still.
Kyc is okay if the project is a success and if they will ask for it at the end of ICO or before the distribution.
But i will never do KYC at the start of work.
Bitcointalk moderators and officers will also have a hard time to detect even they will run in the project.

yah, and by doing so we can be able to avoid getting red trust from joining scam projects. Because it does not make sense to join a bounty which we dont know is a scam project and we get red trust for it. We can't really avoid that sometimes because sometimes a project that looks like not a scam will turn out a scam and we bounty hunters are just caught off guard. Of course in the first place, we bounty hunters needs to also review the projects that we are getting into. That is what i am doing right now, its okay to join fewer projects that i know are real projects than joining a bunch of scam projects that will just give you a red trust which is awful.

[ryan992]

its not moderator job to decide the project scam or not, its fully bounty manager take care of the project. For scam prject, its hard to look the project scam or not. trust me.

[adrianto1995]

The biggest question is, who is people that want to take responsibility like that?
The scam is always coming everyday in the crypto world, you should try to survive by yourself from scammers. Research the project first before participating their bounty to minimize the opportunity to be scammed...
