True. Big or small allocation payment still unsure if the projects has a lot of problem, one thing that most common conflict is the distribution phase where the team always delay the payment. Good example of this is xdb that dont pay their participants. Small allocation can be more assured than big, I only experienced those trusted payment from huge allocation was the bull run season before ICOs fall down.
Granted, that is another of the problems I see with the distribution of bounty tokens/coins. In the long run, hunters and participants miss out on what they should receive in return for completing tasks. Others are forgotten because of many other campaigns. Sometimes there are more follow up processes that take longer.
Such case where you also staking your name inviting other people to participate only to find out that there's nothing or no value tokens will be spread out as a rewards. Sometimes it's quite better to experienced it alone so you don't need to worry about other people if your participation resulted to a scam.
You can easily move forward and simply forget about the experienced and move on trying to search for more realistic bounties.
I never tried to join in any bounty that required KYC as a mandatory for the participants to received their payments. The old trick will not work for the second time again. In my opinion, if this time people very familiar with this. I hope newcomers will aware of this too.
So I admit to that part. Sometimes, we also have to make mistakes to learn as long as they never repeat.
It is important that when we have projects involved we look at not only a legitimate source but two or more and when everything fits together, we are safe.
If I find anything suspicious, I will immediately contact official contact details to confirm whether they are true.
