Ask The Bounty Team before joining

[Bttzed03]

Recently, I just had this bad experience with a bounty campaign I joined (Vanta to be specific). They've extended the campaign, added some task, and threatened participants that they'll not get all the bounty rewards if they won't participate. I raised my concerns to the bounty manager and I was quite disappointed with the response.


To all fellow hunters, you may want to ask this questions to your bounty managers before joining a campaign:

1. Bounty campaign extension
- Will the team ask for an increase in the bounty pool?
- Will the team close the registration and allow only those participants prior to extension?


2. ICO team inserting rules after the campaign
- Will the team allow ICO teams add rules like exchange voting and require hunters to participate?
- What would be the bounty team's response if ICO teams would withhold the bounty rewards to force hunters to participate?


These questions might help you understand how strong the bounty manager is when it comes to protecting its group of bounty hunters.

It's a good approach to ask but most answers you'll get are lies to get more bounty hunters or just the response 'wait, we can't say it yet, it will be announced 'soon''. Joining a bounty is always a risk of being scammed for the time and the majority of projects don't follow their own rules.

[HatakeKakashi]

Bounty hunters can ask that question the bounty manager to make sure the requirements ia good so it will help for them to decided if they join or not.

Edit: Because it's free to ask question and it can help to you to avoid mistake once you are in the campaign if you want to join because mostly the hunters make mistake because they did not fully understand the rules and regulation that implemented by the campaign and manager.

[Bttzed03]

I think that bounty managers would be unable to answer such type of questions at the beginning of a bounty.

Why not? This is merely asking them how will they respond in case the ICO teams do the above.

If that's the response, then it is likely that the bounty team are weak and push over.

Exactly.

Sadly this seems to have become normal for the bounty campaigns. I am personally against the extensions and all the sudden changes and especially change and reduction in rewards but even after provoking the bounty managers in different campaigns the results are not seen may be we need some guaranters to interfere to mark a legit campaign.

the BM of a certain project wont know the answer about the question above the only person has the answer regarding the question is the team behind it, and the rules can be modify anytime by the team.

[semobo]

This is because they always add that in the rules like bounty team has the right to change any thing so you agreeing by participating on it so you need to accept what they are demanding or else don't join on those bounties.

[Anait]

Very few campaigns will be managed directly by the team itself, those teams can provide answers for this questions. Most of the campaigns were managed by campaign managers who will be paid by the team. They'll be doing what's insisted for them by the team.

1. Bounty campaign extension
- Will the team ask for an increase in the bounty pool?

It should be on the rules, and as it always there, they have the rights to change it. prior to ICO!

2. ICO team inserting rules after the campaign
- Will the team allow ICO teams add rules like exchange voting and require hunters to participate?
- What would be the bounty team's response if ICO teams would withhold the bounty rewards to force hunters to participate?

The first thing to say is the time and work is the problem if you will leave, but it is always on your side and decision!
You can't ask them as it is already stated on the thread. though if you do and they answer then you are lucky!

[Bttzed03]

the BM of a certain project wont know the answer about the question above the only person has the answer regarding the question is the team behind it, and the rules can be modify anytime by the team meaning the team rules are always the paramount.

I am aware of that golden rule "team has the exclusive right to change...."
Same reply to a similar comment - this is merely asking the BM how they will respond to such event.

It is sad. I've started asking already some bounty teams and some of them are already taking measures to protect their hunters. I hope we start to see BM's raising these issues before working with these ICOs.

the majority bounty manager is paid by the team from the project, and it depends on the team's decision, indeed the question is very good and has a high level of question, but if things don't want it all depends on the project team

[Jamalzzz]

Yes, that might be an annoying thing if the project is extended. I think they have problems in raising funds. This situation is certainly not convenient for bounty hunters because the rules have been changed. Managers do have the freedom to change rules. But you also have to think about the fate of the bounty hunters who have helped this project.

[rosezionjohn]

These are good questions. I might ask the bounty groups that I am into before participating in the campaigns that they run. It's better to know the position of the bounty managers from the very beginning.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

My experience with two recent bounties is not so good.
One bounty got ended early and that also with reduced rewards and one bounty got extended for four weeks.
In both cases there was a statement from bounty manager that they are just managing the bounty please and all decisions are from ico teams where they can not influence it.
Day by day the trend is increasing and we have to be careful about it.

[Ifemini]

Lol
Asking the bounty team is not going to help
Except you want to find out basic information like bounty timing and the rules and terms

[ansi]

There is no shame extending a bounty for more coupe months, i t happened to me more than once & it's just fine as long as the project is legitimate. I got paid for doing 1 year bounty last couple days & other bounty is finished months ago & their tokens will be locked for bounty hunters for 12 months, so it's normal as long as there is enough transparency about it.

Finally did you receive the reward from that bounty campaign?
I don't see a criminal in adding new tasks but only for new participants that connected after new rules implemented

I think the manager is doing everything he says. I do not think that they tend to protect hunters. If their reward is high they simply follow the terms of the project.

[fibrolit]

You forget that at the beginning, when the bounty campaign is launched, there is always one rule - the bounty campaign rules can be changed at any time. As the ICO team decides, so it will be,the bounty Manager is not to blame here,almost always he is the same employee as we are with you. Until the regulation of ICO by the state authorities begins, I think such topics are useless.

Maneger is only worker not owner of the project, maneger has no power to protect the gifted team from fraud, maneger has information that is limited by the project team, and all sudden changes often occur from the project team without giving prior notice
