Will You Trust a Project Announce BY A Legendary Member

[HabiebRiziq]

Will you trust a project that the one that announced it in the announcement thread is a legendary member even though the legendary has announced that he is not part of the team and was just part of the service he offered.

Let me know your thoughts here.

Maybe some people will take this into consideration, but for me personally, I don't make it into consideration to start investing or participating in the project. I am more focused on the team behind it, how the activeness of the team behind it to respond and update about the projects that are brought to be able to attract investors and develop the projects they bring.

I personally don't trust project announced by Legend account holder because there alot of legendary bounty campaign managers who are not good in their field as management concern and I only trust project which the team involves proofs themselves to be the serious, competent and genuine.

I think the same as you too, it's better to believe in a serious, professional team and be able to prove that they are real because Legendary members are only ordinary people who can still be fooled or cheat.

no, because the level does not guarantee that the project is good. many legendary members here are affected by redtrust for promoting scam projects. therefore it is better to do the verification yourself to see if the project is good or bad. it's time we learn to judge, and start trusting our own analysis.

for example, Bounty Manager Sylon.. even though Sylon did not get a red flag, many projects announced by Sylon did not pay hunters, which made hunters' trust in Sylon reduced.

There were already some examples of legendary members spreading out scam projects. Then, they finally got red-trust and be warned seriously.
I think it is a perfect description to not trust on legendary members blindly. So, look at the reputation history of every account announcing the projects whether it is a legendary, hero, or other lower ranks.

Pay or not, you can't blame the campaign manager. Since we already know if the bounty funds weren't escrowed to CM or escrow, it should be the risk for people who decided to join. I think in 2018, there were only 1 -5 from bounty which managed by Sylon paid to their bounty hunter, and rest of them are just shit. You can see if sylon isn't active anymore to manage any campaign (perhaps due to very high unpaid altcoin bounty so he decided to not manage anymore)

Not all legendary member are trusted there are some legendary members who scammed users and some are trusted ones look at master-p, tradefortress and some donators and VIP members scammed people way back before. I suggest that you should trust people from the DT since they proved themselves to be trustworthy but they are pricey so, it's your choice to make.

For me it does not matter if the member is legendary or any lower rank that announced a project as long as the person is trusted by most people who actually been working on him , i will trust that member. Nowadays most legendary member in rank hvae been sold to many members here in forum , and we not  know if that rank is from that person or not anymore.

[Redemption59]

Participating in bounty programs or projects is very necessary but the announcer is just a bell to the crypto world which gives hunters and investors the opportunity to ascertain and investigate more into the project before participating in it. A newbie can post a scam project and same way a legendary member since we don't know each of them personally. So personally I trust in my investigation and research and not whether it was announced by a legendary member.

[STT]

Obviously the details of the project matter most, the rank really is only some indication of length of membership on this forum and also possibly involvement.  In theory you can judge a higher rank member better because they should have alot more history in their profile then a brand new member.   
  So naturally yes people will trust long term members better then new members who could be anyone and join one day and leave the next but its not an absolute guarantee and really it depends on the member themselves.   We do have people who have been low level members for years but do alot of work off site, programming even but are not especially vocal when it comes to posting on the forum.   I can sympathise with that as if the forum topic does not especially address or trigger a response from me, I can sit here hours and not post anything but doesnt mean I'm less of a member on that day.
  Quality > Quantity and individuality is as much an answer to this question as possible.

Possible or not legendary member of bitcointalk forum have knowledge with some ICO project? I check they are only discuss about bitcointalk forum and less communication with best ICO project, but I always join ICO running by legendary member because they have know who are bounty campaign manager have to trust, they know background of some bounty campaign manager.

It actually doesn't effect the project itself because there are some projects that creates their own account let us say that they create a newbie but named it according to the name of the project, it is not bad though. As long as you read the whitepaper and the road map of the project itself because that is the most important thing the investors should know when investing or supporting some projects. But also there are some legendary accounts that announced some good projects but still it did not go well, meaning the project did not go successful. It actually depends on the whitepaper and on the team of the project and everyone should know about that.

[nelson4lov]

No, im not a blind follower, I've seen reputable members supported/advertised scam projects. Its still advisable to do your own research before investing on something to minimize risks.
When money is involve its better to be cautious.

Here's the response I've been looking for. This is 2019. It's pointless to fall prey to such things again. I know dozens of projects that scammed members (bounty investors and bounty participants) here on bitcointalk. The funny thing about it is that these projects threads were created and sometimes managed by the legendary members who created them. Now, I do a critical research before sending even a dollar. This is a trustless space. I don't plan on overlooking that. Even if they have Warren buffet on their advisor list, I would still do my research. The days of investing blindly are gone.

[arifteguhr]

Lengendary or Newbi I do not really matter which is clear if this project really runs as it should then I will support because some projects are actually a scam due to poor management and they just make a projeck scam. so indeed this is very detrimental to many people if we know. hopefully we can be more careful in choosing

[Aying]

New project they handled? I probably not, every newbie here will trick about ranks they trust it immediately because they know that high ranking member know about her reputation. but sadly those projects will turn out as a scam. why? because not all of legendary members are trust worthy maybe their account are hack's maybe they sell it to project owners. and also high rank members here didn't support the project 100% they warn you at your own risk. so you need take an advantage to read the project before you trust it.

Really? If this is your opinion then what are you doing promoting Cryptotalk campaign hosted by Yahoo? 30% of participants of cryptotalk signature campaign join because it is now been handled by Yahoo and not some newbie or lower rank account, and this is the reason the campaign is expected to last for as long as the promoters intended because they believe Yahoo will do a great job, also participants have full trust in him because they know he has good reputation and will not support bad project.

Maybe but would you join a campaign handled by high ranking member even the project when you do a deep search is scam? It's still up to the project legality I think, no matter who is the one handling the BM. Or course if its a well known manager, you csn trust on them, since these known manager will never ever destroy their reputation here in forum. But that is out case, and can never be a reason for choosing a project. It is an advantage if we know who it is, but if its not then I prefer a low rank, with highly trusted than a legendary with no reputation at all.

[kaneki007]

I don't really believe even though one managing project is the legendary rank, because i've seen legendary rank to manage project but now has a bad reputation for promoting project scams
high rank is no guarantee that project it promotes is legit

[iamaruf]

No never.If project is good then doesn't vary on rank,if manager newbie or legendary I will join that project.I saw many project and manager was legendary but finally project turned to scam or failed.Also saw many project with newbie manager and project was succeed. So, i will join project which is good not watching the manager.

[Chris Barth]

Let me answe this with a question. Do you think all old men are wise? 🤔.... Actually, the fact that someone is old doesn't mean everything he says is genuine. In other words, don't trust such a project because a Legendary member announced it. Find some other better reason to trust it.

[Fappanu]

If this legendary is smart enough to see if his supporting project is legit he will surely accept it. We know that his respected account on the forum will be replaced as he will be granted red trust if the project he is promoting is a scam. That's why I believe in his projects.

I'm also aware that scammers have purchased accounts to use here in the forum.
So let's take a closer look and be careful, even if Legendary or Hero is promoting the project.

[magnum cyber]

I cannot briefly assume, if a project is managed by a legendary member. but it all depends on how the project itself is, not with legendary members. but if the legendary member is trusted, has a good reputation in previous experience and the project they manage is in my opinion worthy of following then I will follow it. and vice versa.
