Are any of the top managers involved in any running bounties?

[bernardos]

I wasn't sure where to post this so posted it here since I am asking for help and advice.

I just went through the Bitcointalk Signature Anti-Spam Campaign Managers thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412712.0) in search of potential new bounties. From what I see nobody from that thread is running or has ran a bounty campaign recently. I am not counting signature campaigns but bounties involving different tasks.

Am I missing something? Has the ICO environment become so polluted with scams that the top managers dont want to get involved with it anymore?
Is there another list of trustworthy managers who do run bounty campaigns that aren't a total waste of time?

Any suggestions are welcome.

I will agree with reason that most of the projects are scam. Some development are just forking the code , copying the white paper and start doing their bounty on their own. Second reason, I think, with so many scam projects, reputable manager will not join any project if they have slight doubt.( Nobody will be willing to put own reputation at stake.)
I hope all the user in forum also follow the model, if project doesn't look transparent then don't join the bounty.

@Woshib has some running campaigns with social media tasks I think (I saw at least one). I scanned through some of the others, and many of the have managed campaigns with social media tasks recently, but those are not mostly not active any longer.

I personally dislike social media campaigns, since they do have no effect other than to spam others, who in turn are likely to be spammers themselves, and therefore the message, if any, goes to no real potential interested people.

Woshib's trust has somewhat been painted though. @OP, what don't you try and reach them out? If your project is not scammy I'm sure they will involved themselves. Just remember though that they will scrutinized your project and be sure to answer them straight.

There are many manager out there but I don't find some trusted campaign manager who promote scammy bounties most of the scam bounties are manage by copper member or newbies which is obvious scam.
I promoted some ICO before and until now I didn't receive any bounty rewards from them but their accounts still not yet receive a negative tag.

I hope admin or some DT membesr to start action to restrict who manage bounty campaigns if there is newbie who manage a campaign they should receive negative so that we can reduce scam bounties and projects.

You went to the wrong rating thread for starters, that thread intention was not to list bounty related campaign managers since most of them aren't anti-spam and the thread starter intention was to list anti-spam campaign mangers which involves managers of bitcoin Paid signature campaigns mainly.

This thread might be another option to get campaign managers involved in bounties: Overview of Bounty Managers


To answer your question, I contacted one of them (manager) listed in the thread sometime last month and asked the same question why he isn't interested in bounty campaign, his reply was he had less time due to numerous paid bitcoin campaign he's managing and got no time for bounty campaigns (since they require much attention to monitor). So I guess this must be one of the reason too for other managers listed on that thread you visited not getting involved in bounty campaigns.

Another reason could be to safe guide their reputation as other above have mentioned. As a campaign manager, if the project you're managing a campaign for, gets busted for scam or scam like activities possibilities are you'll end up getting taged too.

I recently picked interest in bounty management and hopefully I'll get my first job very soon and I'll try my best to always work for only legitimate project as I won't went my reputation on and outside forum to be soiled. You can keep a tag on me too HERE. I'll be accepting full payment in ICO's altcoin that means I'll accept offers from only legitimate projects.

I believe one of the most important reason is "SCAM". That's why reputed managers not much encourage to start new bounty projects. Who will like his account end up with red tag? I have seen lots of managers got red tag due to promote multiple scam products. Who will responsible if project turn into scam. And most of scammer don't like to pay high rate because well reputed managers need high payment. Also they will not promote any likely scam. So it's not better to avoid ?

yahoo62278 still accepts bounty campaigns, but do not expect a handful of them running all at once 'cause aside from the possible stricter standards they impose before accepting a campaign, I believe that there has been also a decrease of running ICOs compared to before.

In any case, please treat every campaign with a grain of salt regardless of who is the manager. First is because managers can still scam you anytime (if they also hold the funds), maybe at first there's no motive of that but we don't know what is happening behind closed doors, desperate moments could come. Second is, they could still make mistakes, all of us do, in fact.

No because they do not want to promote scam projects and many of it are scam so no need for them to accept it besides the account to be used is very important for it it wi be tagged with negative trust if the promoted is really a scam and the problem after getting a negative trust is that one could not join bounty campaign.

If trust rating is negative then the account is good for nothing that if the user intend to.join signature campaign.

There are still a lot of managers who would love to manage a project that is promising but I feel skeptical some of them aside these two reputed Bounty Manager. @Yahoo62278 and @Hhampuz. IMO.

However, as the project owner and founder, you must make sure to answer all the questions that they will ask you.
Since they are skilled enough and learned a lot from their previous experienced, they are more careful about choosing signature campaigns to avoid some issues again. And yes, some projects were also doesn't have the motive of scamming yet they were failed so they ended being a scam or scam exit. ICO's space is really have been polluted of scammers and failed projects.

I hope that someday, the cryptocurrency will be great again. The projects today are also enough. We just need to support them to make it farther.

Actually, reputed bounty managers or not are actually paid to manage and promote ICOs. You may think that some bounty managers are involved, yes you may be right about them being involved in scam or not scam ICOs but some don't want to be involed in a scam project and decided that they will not get involved but still want to promote some projects that is not scam at all. Anyway, it is hard to find legit ICOs that they will surely get paid well.

[gentlemand]

If I were a reputable manager there's no way I'd bother with any of that shit. You're going to attract zombie moron members who'll be a total pain up the arse to keep a lid on and the chances are that whatever you're promoting will end up totally worthless.

People who manages bitcoin signature campaigns rarely accepts bounties because the tasks are more different on bounties so there are some reputed managers available for bounty campaigns as well,you can get their names by exploring the past and current bounty campaigns on bounties section.

[rosezionjohn]

I used to participate on btcltcdigger's bounty campaigns. I don't know if there are any other managers who require participants to submit weekly reports thru google forms and not making new posts. Unfortunately, some of the campaigns he managed turned out to be shit.

[bernardos]

Thank you for the link. I will make sure to go through that one tomorrow. I can already see some familiar and trusted names so that is good.

To answer some of the previous members. I am not interested in social media tasks and sharing posts. I am a translator and that is mostly what I like to do.

Why is it so hard, actually impossible to find a bounty that pays in bitcoin, ether etc? Or am I looking in the wrong places?

Because that would mean they'd have to lay out their own real money to buy real crypto upfront. And none of them will have any real money, or if they do they're certainly not going to part with it.

It's rather easier to create a shit token from thin air and get a bunch of morons to hype it in the expectation it'll be worth something. Almost always it won't be.

Keep developing your account here and sign up for a campaign that isn't an insult.

They usually receive funding via Ether and Bitcoin so in theory they can pay the participants from there but like you said the problem is that they dont want to and unfortunately nobody can force them to.

You mean a bitcoin paying sig campaign? I have a looong way to go to even consider that, but thanks.

There are BTC paying campaigns you can join right now. It's not as if it's an impossible dream. The pay won't be all that until you rank up.

If I were considering a campaign I would only consider those run by profitable, established and ongoing businesses which mainly means gambling and mixers.

Putting any effort into something built on hope, lies and speculation is likely to be a dead end though the occasional person lucks out.

That's true as a member rank user, most campaign won't pay you that much payout could be between $10-$15 but if you have developed interest in paid signature campaigns then this threads would be of interest to you; [Guide] Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns. After reading through, you can skimmed through this thread too {Facts} Benefits of promoting (joining) a quality paid signature campaign. there you would see some benefits a paid campaign has over bounty campaigns.

I've been participating in various bounties campaign, and in the end, I can count only 10 that gives me some good result. Believe me, joining bounty in 2018 or maybe 2019 is very uncertain, you'll end up wasting your time if you focus doing bounties. IMO just participate in sig campaign that paid in BTC/ETH, and then write an article or do videos if you want to join in bounty campaign.

It is better to get $10 per week instead of waiting months just to get $40 worth of tokens.
