[liuqi]

Nowadays more than 80% projects being listed on bounty section aa scammers only so we need to be little more allowed while we are investing on that projects which is scamming the bounty hunters.
Then we as a participant we need to be written more alert while participating on any new bounty campaigns.

A lot of projects are scamming Bounty Hunters and taking Bounty hunters for a ride. What can we do to stop this?

Not join bounty campaigns anymore. That is the most effective solution to this problem I guess. If there will be no more bounty hunters joining these scams, there will be no more victims. There will be no more scam bounty campaigns also because they know that they will end up with zero participants. But for as long as there are participants, scam bounty campaigns will also continue to thrive.

Whether get a reward or not, bounties and airdrops will be an alternative for people to earn crypto for free. So it seems indeed impossible to really want to get rid of the bounty campaign. In my personal opinion, it would be better if we focus on ourselves and really choose a good bounty or no longer join a bounty campaign, but let people who still want to join the bounty campaign.

So they cannot avoid getting victimized by scammer bounty campaigns if joining bounties and airdrops is a necessity to some. If by joining they will be able to have alternative sources of income, then I guess they should just be openly accepting the possibility that they could end up with a scam project. There should be no complaining at all because that is the reality. Choosing good bounty is easier said than done. In reality, even good bounties turn out another scam.

Right, that is why actually complain about bounty is something that the project wouldn't listed. Choices that we can possibly have is, not join bounty campaign anymore or keep join bounties but accept terms and condition of the bounty. I have joined several bounty campaign, but still believe 1 of it will be worthy. And maybe little suggestion, once we see the time is extended, better to change the project. i personally don't like to join with long duration.

I doubt any big-cap investor would be visiting the bounty hunting section of this forum to look for projects to put their hard earned money into. Sure there are some small-cap to mid-cap traders here, but big whales? Definitely few at this point, many have left the forum completely. They would prefer to use some aggregator site to get all the new projects names and information.

Then we as a participant we need to be written more alert while participating on any new bounty campaigns.

It will not help being "Alert". Being illiterate about what a project is and what its intended to be will make the participant take the wrong decision.

Mostly almost all of the ICO's right now implements a long duration of their campaigns since most provably they didn't get their targets and want to get more attention to gather more money and I'm so annoyed with this since it will take long time for user to guess if they will be compensated or not since as of now most of them runs after they successfully gather some money for there investors and they left there bounty hunters hanging and if you don't have a guts and proper understandings for sure you will end up crying and it's better for us to not rely on bounty campaigns and just threat this as side activity.

I think the bounty scam project cannot be avoided. Before participating in the project, you must do your homework, evaluate the security of the project, and finally decide whether to participate.

Many bounty hunters feel scammed by the fact that developers promise in their campaigns that the prize pool is very high, but after listing on exchange the price drops very much, which means that reward finally turns out to be dust. Of course, this is not the fault of the developers, but a very long bear market and lack of investors. Bounty hunters can't do anything about it, they just have to wait for the trend to change.

Bounty hunters are ready for the worst, look around you, how many bounty hunters are complaining? Many are tired of that already and those who can't cope leave bounty hunting for other ways to earnike trading, research is really not enough to avoid getting scammed but i still don't want to stop

Scam bounty can not be turned off completely due to our careless bounty hunters, And i have seen bounty hunters who have been just working constantly, but the project has been completed long time ago, it's kinda of stupidity?. So i think a lot of our commitment to the deficit, so it will not stop. We have to stopped working in looking fishy projects. Firstly we have to detect fake team than it can be easily traceable scam projects.

of course the scam project cannot be stopped because there are still many prize hunters still promoting it. the cause of the prize hunter's stupidity is a lack of research and just hoping will to get payment. that is why until now scammers have continued to make prize hunters suffer. I hope the bounty hunter does not despair and considers this a lesson to be more careful again before to participate.

Bounty scams like that won't be easily stopped.
the solution is stop promoting and don't just random join a bounty campaign. bounty hunters have often been scammed by a project but for some reason they still carry out promotions without stopping without thinking first (didn't learn from bounty scams before).
so the problem is on each bounty hunter itself. if you feel bored with such a situation (scam) you should try switching to other campaigns that pay using bitcoin or eth. the payment of using tokens is sucks.

The major problem of bounties lies when you are about to make a pick, you need to be so sure that you will get paid, Bounty Managers and project team have to be investigated thoroughly, professional bounty managers will definitely safe you the headache most times, all we need is good research

[Bitbtc8]

Most times its not always the team/bounty manager's fault, there are other things to hope for when joining a bounty campaign, for example the fundraising issue is the most popular problem new projects do face, once they failed to meet their target all plans goes right into the dust bin
