Can we stop promoting scam project?

[Juse14]

Promoting a scam project its was restricted on Bitcointalk, if you get caught promoting a scam ICO or Ponzi at here the DT team will mark you account with redtrust. Better to avoid it.

It seems like a good idea, I followed a number of Bounties with USD prizes and it was more fun to promote than those with junk Token prizes, still profitable if the tokens are paid, because there are some who don't even pay.

Not in most of the case because most of the bounties were scam in 2018 but their participants didn't get tagged for it just because they may not aware of it,but the managers who promoted it got tagged on many occasions so you need to visit the scam accusation and bounty thread to see is there any warning about your project.

Good idea from your point but the question is how many are ready to support that idea to the last,even if we agree that we should not promote any project that cannot meet up with that,some will still eventually go behind to promote such project.

The issue is that the bounty hunters are not united. If there should be a forum sort of where bounty hunters can meet and decide what to do with a project that falters in payments, some of these abnormalities will be curtailed. Also, your point is very good. Payments should be made in BTC or Eth to avoid some issues that arise with scam projects.

Escrowing fund is must for the bounty not talking about coin or token but the fund in btc/eth then after project raise funds they should give coin or token and take back escrowed fund.but I think it will be difficult as some project do not have good fund at the starting so it is understandable but bounty Hunter should check project team members to ensure there is nothing fishy about it then promote them.

It would be very cool, but it seems to me that now there is no point in talking about it. Now many people talk about it. But in spite of all the services, now people are trying to clean up scam projects. Scammers can disguise themselves very seriously.

Most of the bounty hunters do not get payment despite their hard working and some gets a little with shit token. Can we prevent it? Just an idea.

What if we everybody stop to promote a project which offers only token?
For launching a project, the project owner or developer should have some money to promote the project. Say for example- they have to escrow a minimum of 40% of the bounty allocation in term of usd or btc. Only then we can prevent scam ico and bounty hunter will get their money. Can we start following this rule?

No need to come up with any serious schemes or methods. It is enough for all bounty hunters to come to an agreement and start participating only in those bounty campaigns that make payment in coins that already have a price and are being traded on exchanges.

If we do this, bounty campaigns will become useless. The project owner or developer will spend money on advertising.

we can't just stop because we really don't know what will happen and we hope that if what we do produces good results.
and the matter of scam projects or not is actually beyond our reach because we have tried to choose a project that we think is good.

[sngwinner]

I like your suggestion. It is very true and that may be the only way to end scam projects. Maybe, this forum should spearhead this idea and that all persons who come here to run a bounty should pay a very huge amount into an escrow account before they are allowed to run their bounty.

there is only one quesion left - to find such projects that will pay in USD. and it seems to me that is will be a really hard task.

Your proposal is interesting. Of course, I would't like to be deceived. But most of the teams start their project without sufficient capital, having only an idea. That’s why they need ICO. In contrast to investors, hunters don't lose their money ,lose only time and labor. No laws and insurance to protect us from failures,  this ideas will remain just desires of justice.

[vhns222]

Let's imagine scammers have sent tokens from scam ICO then what its the same as they don't pay as its anything,about promotion only way be informed as much as possible.

as a bounty hunter must be able to choose projects that can pay us carefully, so that what we do is not in vain, we know in the present many vacuum bounty hunters from the forum because they have no certainty of payment as well as investors who lose their money because they join ICO

[dance2009]

I like this idea, but I haven't seen it yet, I've had a lot of campaigns over the last year that haven't even paid anything. After that, you do not really want to engage in campaigns.

[mammoniter]

Its actually a good idea. In that way, bounty hunters will be be able to get what is rightfully theirs. We can also consider the weekly payment strategy to make sure everyone gets their paymeny on time. Hopefully projects developer are open to this kind of suggestion.

[cryptocyprus]

I think that we will not be able to stop fraudulent projects, but they will soon disappear themselves. Now more and more interest is aroused by STO, and ICO recede into the background.

[dicaprio]

It would be just great if we began to understand what all this is really about and what is not. Therefore, we now need a service that would really show the real opinions of people by voting.

[futuristishe]

We can! It can be done! It is important to create a theme, which will indicate the project to which the fraud, to warn all and then no one will have to investirovat. Or need a project that will identify scammers
