Nodvix is asking bounty hunters to pay eth before getting paid.

I think this project never raised any amount of money and they are too desperate to ask their bounty hunters to pay for eth to get paid a very shaddy move.

This is clearly a scam attempt. I am going to tag the ANN and bounty topic creator. Looks like he is the one directly involved with the project just not a bounty manager. I will create a flag to warn the community too.

Edit:
Tagged and flagged. If you agree then please support : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=74

All bounty hunters should delete their campaign if they are a blogger and participate on this campaign create a blog post about this scamming, this is unacceptable, this is the first time I read those bounty hunters should invest to get their rewards, this is another way of scamming bounty hunters, they are now targetting bounty hunters.

@Pamoldar - Flag supported & similar neg feedback added, good work.

Yeah, doesn't look like that 0.01 ETH was ever mentioned in the OP of the bounty thread.  It seems at best silly to me to request funds from people instead of a signed message or something if the project is trying to deter bots and spammers, as they claimed in that screenshot.

The amount involved is small, USD $2.57 as I write this, but there's no way anyone should have to send these jokers anything in order to claim a bounty if that wasn't in the terms up front.  This indeed sounds like a scam, and I'd like to hear a response from the project manager or John Pomelov or whoever else is responsible for this crap.

Supported the flag for the time being.

So if they have more than 500 bounty hunters that's not a small amount, they looked very desperate to imagine victimizing and obliging bounty hunters to invest, after the locking of bounty hunters rewards now we have this, they are now targetting bounty hunters because investors are not investing anymore.

Hi all,

Did someone ask my opinion here? No problems

I'm not a NODVIX project manager, but just helping a team with the community and I duplicate information on behalf of the NODVIX team in their telegram groups. I don’t understand why this screenshot was taken exactly with me, but apparently the guy stumbled upon my "reply" message.

You guys are weird, apparently you don’t read between the lines ... this was created in order to eliminate this whole bots in the NODVIX bounty campaigns, quite an adequate decision of the team. Or spend a lot of time trying to disassemble all these 80% of bots in the telegram campaign or guys copying articles from each other. This is a good solution is to make the procedure by which you will save a lot of time and thus, it will be quite a significant barrier for for bounty scammers, trying to collect all the bounty pools. Plus, apparently you did not read the message well:

"As a Bonus - you get additional NDVX tokens - in the amount equivalent to 0.01 ETH, which you sent to confirm the right to receive bounty."

I.e your ETH are returned to you as TOKENS

To summarize, no one forces do it forcibly send ETH, this procedure is done to facilitate work with the bounty and nothing more, because there was a crazy rush of bots and copywriters and it would take a lot of time to check everything. Set a goal - to make money on this procedure, it is ridiculous.

And one more thing that I forgot, what about PayFair and why did you make these warning there, do you check the information about PayFair bounty, how the project lives, about the fact that this product is ready and you put this warning there? Why? Due to the fact that you saw my dubbing messages in the NODVIX group?

Thanks for dropping by and posting your side, but what you have done is a bad precedent if we let these things pass we will soon see ICO's asking not only 0.01 Eth or even 0.1 Eth just to get their rewards that they've worked for months, we hate ICO changing rules just to abuse their bounty participants, we have seen how Dexage lock their bounty hunters token for 6 months for a reason that was not bounty hunter's  fault..

Please stop abusing bounty hunters

Just do away your deposit rules and everything will be good
