Sending wrong erc20 tokens

[labilaab]

Well its possible since the distributing is just mannually done by human itself which is prone to mistakes but so far joining bounties I havent happen to encounter that yet though.

Is it possible a bounty provider or bounty team as the case maybe send more than what you earn on the spreadsheet to your wallet? I was reading in a bounty group where sone one said he got more than 1million token when the whole bounty pool is just 9million . won't that affect other bounty hunters from getting their reward?

It's possible but just because a human error. Bounty tokens are manually credited so there is a possibility to credit participants in wrong amount. Usually, the team or bounty manager will ask them to send the tokens back. It should not affect other's reward though but it's unfair that someone get more than what he should.

The fat finger event is possible on bounty distributions but it doesn't mean that guy who took most of the bounty earnings will be able to spend the tokens. It can be frozen by the team with the help of smart contract tools.

lock the token on specific address could be done by developers team.i ever heard about this case, usually they contact to account holder via forum and if has no response usually they do this way.if don't it could make big dump on market.

While it's possible, I'd say it's kind of hard screwing up the amount like that.
Do you have the transaction id? Otherwise the spreadsheet (+ the name/eth-address of the participant) might also help to check if there was such a transaction.

The said transaction will be traceable but it depend on the person who receive the reward will send it back to the person in charge otherwise it's a loss at all.  Mostly a typo error.  But I feel my self guilty when receiving an amounts which is not correspond to what it serves for me, hope others will felt the same.

That is not impossible, but as you can expect, the opposite is much likely to happen, if we are expecting to receive some token on our wallet, we should expect that it will not going to be the exact, it will going to be much lesser than the actual price as they consume the transaction fee first but the good thing is that, ethereum's gas is not that expensive.

It is possible since we are human, not some random program. Howeverz if it is true, it will affect the bounty hunter as well as the whole project because he may dump all at all.

Well, this was happened to me last year, when one of the ICO project sent me the token more than the total amount I supposed to receive.
Then, someone emailed me on which I used in the campaign that the in charge person told me to send back the exceeding amount which He sent into my wallet, then I sent it back to him in the wallet which I need to transfer.

[maxreish]

yes it can happen, and already happened with me before that and the company contacted me to return the amount, of Tokens there are errors in the total coins payable to the bonus hunters

but did you return it back?
if it doesn't return, can it be a fraud for negligence made by the bounty manager?

Interesting. Someone here already experienced it and gave you the answer. For some reasons, human tend to make mistakes and for that, it is possible that they mistakenly send wrong amount of reward tokens. It is just up to the receiver if he/she is going to return it back since the transactions are irriversible. But if a bounty hunter is honest and have a conscience, give back the mistaken sent tokens since the whole team made an effort with the projects.

yes, maybe the op must include proof as you say.
there were a lot of errors when sending to the erc20 wallet. this is normal and pure user error
and I think it would be very impossible if a manager or an ico team were wrong to send hunters a bounty with 1 million tokens.

[april08]

It is possible to get more than your token during distribution. No body is above mistake. Getting a million out of  total bounty supply 9million is something else. Mind you, people lie so much in Telegram groups but sending moorethan your token is real. A friend received twice of his token in one campaign but the project later turned out to be a scam.

as long as I follow ico, I have never experienced a delivery error from a manager. but logically it can happen because of human error. indeed this will be awkward if a big mistake, of course before the distribution has passed the checking stage

Yeah, such thing might happen due to the low attentiveness and I think it not a problem of bounty hunters. If the distibution team makes a mistake, then must to add missing tokens to total pool.

[rosezionjohn]

It would have been better if you just verified it all on etherscan if it was an erc-20 tokens. I mean you have access to the spreadsheet right? You also know the contract address.

I believe that they are humans and can make mistake just like any other normal person, though I think it's very rare for a bounty manager to send tokens to your wallet that is more than what you supposed to get because this bounty managers are paid to do this work and it won't be cool if they keep making that kind of mistake because they will disrupt a lot of persons from benefiting from the project since the reward has been given to someone else.

It's certainly possible, whether by error or just because that's the way the reward share worked.

It is certainly possible to get 10% of overall bounty if the campaign is not popular so doesn't have many participants... but you'd need to do a lot in the high-paying sections of bounty. So maybe you do a few translations, and not many other people do so you get a big % of translation pool stakes, which is often the highest paying part.

It might just show up that way on the imtoken app; but if you could look up etherscan you will find the true tokens there

There are mistakes in bounty rewards, but not close to a percent of total supply or bounty pool

They are mistyping when put the decimal about how much token that must be sent to the participant. that will affect the price of that guy was trying to dump it in the market and that's a lot of money.
If the developer will not put an additional amount and that means you will get less from how much total token that you have deserved from your work. But that's the developer's fault.

@OP: yes you should check etherscan or any other eth blockexplorer .
if one user can earn around 10% and there is a total pool prize of 9mil. of course there is a big impact for all others bounty hunters.

[maculeth]

maybe that's just a few, for the whole, the bounty team must have calculated the token pool based on the number of participants and will be divided according to their performance based on their rank in this forum. surely everything will be fair.
