Bounty Managers do not Determine the Legitimacy of a Cryptocurrency Project

[Stanlo]

Its part of bounty manager's job to make sure that the project he/she is going to manage is not scam project for reputation sake or else bounty hunters will lose trust in the bounty manager but its better for bounty hunters to do their own research as well and not rely on bounty mangers,some bounty managers dont care

[Galley]

When selecting a bounty company, I do not pay attention to the rank of manager. This is not an indicator of his honesty and professionalism. A bounty manager with a good reputation, albeit with a small rank, deserves more trust.

[Mila52]

It will not and cannot be determined but I stay away with bounty managers that have a lot of failed or scam projects attached to its portfolio, it just means he is not doing enough research and cannot fight the rights of bounty managers, so better make a list of bounty managers who always screwed up and stay away from them.

Thats the idea, leave mangers with bad antecedent of scam projects. I dont think silon or yahoo ever had a scam project for bounty because of there due diligence through research before managing. Have seen managers with less than 2 bounties this year because they dont consider some of the project good enough to manage. Bubbalex had a long quarrel with windhan project when they started, interesting the project approached him and he declined, he claimed he wont want to soil his record with project is not confident of. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5107372.msg49956741#msg49956741 ) Tell me why wont I consider him first.

I participated in many of projects by manager Syllon, but I didn't received a payment for all my works with him. I trust the experience and professionalism of some managers, but I always remember that the bounty manager is the same employee hired by the project's team. Therefore, when choosing a project you should spend your own time to analyzed the project in the beginning, so that at the end of ICO, you didn’t lose your time or money in the failure.

Most bounty managers don't even research on projects they take on. Truly many people do bounties because they feel like the bounty managers handling those projects have some kind of divine intervention that the project would be successful but it's all not true.

[ifykiki]

Bounty manager truly does not determine
But bounty manager do have an effect; nobody joins a bounty manager with failed projects
Which is why g0blin has not gotten any bounty job since the mess of the spotcoin bounty

Be smart and dyor

I don't think any of g0blin bounties were successful, his method wasn't even cool. I only did his bounties just incase they turned out good. Look at Bountyplatform, they had a lot of failed projects only 3 out of the lots I did turned out well

[Mahanton]

So, don't join a bounty or invest in a project because of the bounty manager. Do your research before investing your money or time on any project.

Are you saying that all the participants of the bounty do not conduct research?Bounty participants have become much smarter and now just to attract them to a bad project is almost impossible.

Being a bounty hunter for sometime can give you out some experience and you would be aware on how scam project works but falling out into projects which you do see like legit one but ending up to be a scam is still on high probability.Projects becomes too real and hardly be recognized as fraud if you dont dig much deeper.
Considering on following bounty managers,this doesnt guarantee anything yet even these manager no matter how good they are on handling people they can point out which one is legitimate.

[Kwansimaa]

The authenticity of a bounty a cryptocurrency project is and can never be determined by the rank of a bounty manager. Bounty managers do not determine the legitimacy of a project even though posting of legit projects can have an impact on your work as a manager. Determination of the authenticity of a bounty project is determined individually based on your personal research into the project, the advisors and team behind it, the core investor and how the project manages its social media handles.

[konflikkastil]

You are right, all cannot be measured because only the bounty manager because when the coin enters the market all will not be related to the bounty manager but all will see the potential, team performance and products developed

[spydee1522]

I do not believe any bounty manager to be the one to determine the legitimacy of a bounty campaign. Determination of a bounty campaign i individualistic and bounty managers do research into bounty projects before posting it to help build their reputation but doing your very own research and drawing conclusion is key in determining the legitimacy of a project and participating.

[Ibizugbe1]

Most bounty managers are interested in getting some satoshi and don't give a damn like exchanges don't care about the type of project that get listed for IEO, as long as they get paid, it's known of their business. This is why I have taken much to trading than bounty hunting.

[Periodik]

So, don't join a bounty or invest in a project because of the bounty manager. Do your research before investing your money or time on any project.

Absolutely! If you are joining a campaign that pays in Bitcoin, it does not matter for as long as the payment is escrowed by reputable escrow managers here. But if you are joining a campaign that pays you in altcoins, do not take the manager as the best indicator of legitimacy or success. If I know, many of the managers themselves do not do their share of research before accepting any project. They are contented to get honestly paid regardless of whether the project will be successful or not. A personal research is still the best way to determine whether a project is worth participating or not.

[flyer88]

I agree with you... we must research project beside look at the profile of the bounty managers.
Because, sometimes scam project can hire good bounty managers.

Of course Bounty Manager can not be a guideline that the project managed by him it is a good project.
But we can find out about the project by looking at the Whitepaper and its roadmap.

[ajaymukund]

that's right, the account rankings are no longer important. Our forum is being corrupted by the impostors of the reputation of veteran members.
Now there are quite a lot of scam projects here and so I think we should practice analyzing the projects.
One of those ways is to read the Whitepaper and have an article on how to read whitepaper quickly and effectively.

[Aldrinx00]

I think the reputable and trusted bounty managers are conducting their due diligence on the project first before they accept it, however if the project is bound to fail i don't think the bounty managers can do anything about it. If the project cannot even raise their softcap then bounties will not be paid, I'll just put my trust on the bounty managers that i know because the percentage of getting paid is much more compare to unknown.

[aioc]

There are bounty manager that protects his credibility and there are those who keep accepting as many projects as he can without checking if the project is legit or not, bounty managers add credibility to the overall perception of one project, but it's just one fo the criteria, it will still come down on the project.

[cosmofly]

I have been involved in this forum since 2017 and I only participated in the project when I understood it.
Bonus managers often manage a lot of projects and sometimes they do not know whether the project is good or bad. The important thing for them is that they are paid in USD.
So, wake up, we should have our own analysis.

[iTradeChips]

That is how it goes with bounties and bounty managers. They come and they go and also with it lots and lots of money from earnings on the bounties. I have experienced so many bounty managers and also have encountered whom I would call constant headaches. They do not listen to your concern or they do not pay you outright. Headache like I said. So now I tend to check the project and the people behind it rather than the bounty organizers.

Nah, rank is not what should be sued as a criteria to know if a campaign is to be trusted or not, what really matters to me is the history of such manager, when I see a project, I first check the history of the manager that promoted it to see if most of the projects he has projected has been successful and has not had much complains from bounty hunters of not being paid, then I can go further to research on the project.

We have some bounty managers that are known for quality, and will never accept to promote any project they are very unsure of or think they will make payment to the hunters. These managers are doing like what Binance is doing before accepting any project to be registered in their IEO platform for people to be a part of the campaign.

Correct. People can buy old account at high ranks, Hero or Legendary members to run their scam projects and their scam bounties too. It is never good choice to join bounties/ campaigns by unknown managers (with their very first campaigns/ bounties); or managers who have negative trusts or active flags.

[Xphenosis]

Most of them are for the money they get for managing that project little to know it is fraud. The best thing to look is not the bounty manager but the project itself and if the one managing it is a good bounty manager then that's good to follow too.
