Just a thought about bounties and bounty managers

[OasisDre]

I heard that what most bounty managers do is to conduct the bounty project and later submit to projects teams for distribution, is this not why some projects never paid bounty hunters?

 +The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams
+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends

Avoid these and teams might decide not to pay or send out half payments to half of the hunters, it should be more like how IEO is where exchange stands between investors and team

It actually depends on the arrangement between the bounty manager and the team. Some projects bounty are distributed by the manager and sometimes managers are only responsible on keeping track and submitting the spread sheet to the team for distribution.

not really, indeed the work of the bounty manager is the selection of bounty participants and after that is paid if they submit their work, then the project team processes payments, if the project team does not pay means they are scam

+The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams

if your idea is like that maybe many project teams feel disadvantaged, because the bounty manager might be able to run off their money, so the project team and bounty manager invite trusted people in the forum to become third-party escrow who hold project funds for bounty hunters

Bounty manager's work is only to handle the campaign for the project, they do not serve as the third party to hold the funds for the bounty participants.
It is correct that if the project do not pay it is already a scam, but I also think that if the bounty manager will hold the fund then chances for bounty hunters to get paid is high.

That is another part where there is a risk of losing the bounty allocation. That's why, choosing the right bounty manager is necessary to avoid this kind of thing.
Escrow really take a big part in here, it is to avoid scam users to run the monry for their own.

[Byakuga]

Your point makes sense but if the bounty manager himself or herself can't be trusted there will be issues as well, to me both bounty manager and project team can fail to pay hunters, so instead i suggest to always promote projects from reliable bounty managers

But why would bounty hunters will participate in untrusted bounty managers in the first place. As for me, I don't want to have any unnecessary situations which makes my situation be hard.
Paticipating in bounty campaigns handled by popular bounty managers is indeed way better than to participate in some unpopular managers.

[ajiz138]

It all depends on the opportunity between the developer and the bounty manager. But in general the token is still in the hands of the developer and will be distributed by the developer when the bounty manager has submitted the file of participants who have done the task to completion. If the bounty manager is given the authority to hold tokens and distribute tokens, then there will be more costs to be paid to the manager.
But this method won't overcome the junk project, even though the token in the junk project distribution will produce shitcoin which cannot be sold.

[shodik007]

rightfully so to avoid fraud from the project team, but in this case we also cannot 100% trust the bounty manager, you understand how much is allocated to a bounty and with that much money do you believe you will put it in the bounty manager? they can run away whenever they want, are you aware of this? it is true that there should be an intermediary for this so that bounty participants are no longer cheated

I think it's almost imposibble for a single bounty manager do those task because most of bounty manager are holding more than one bounty and if they have to send out the payment after the bounty ends, it will really cut their time. It can be happen if the salary of the bounty manager is so big so the bounty managers are just holding one bounty at the time but i think the project team itself won't pay bounty manager so high.

Even bounty manager have the allocated tokens there is no security that you will get paid.
Since more of the ICO project use token and many project also making a new token contract if they see that there are something wrong with the old contract then your payment will be worthless.
Even you have the tokens for your payment if there are no exchange tradeable that token then this also a worthless tokens until its listed.

[danherbias07]

+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends

No, they won't let this happen.
Managers will just manage. They will submit the spreadsheet of how much every participant will be paid accordingly.
They wont give that tokens to the manager for security. They could just run with it and tell that it had all been submitted to each participant.

If you are the owner of the ICO or IEO, will you trust the manager to keep his word?

that's what is expected in the future, where the project team should put their funds in escrow so that no one runs away from payment and make sure the bounty manager is really honest, sometimes I still see some bounty manager teams that give large amounts of Stake to new users , so I suspect it is part of their team, I hate about games like this, I hope that many changes in the future

Yes it is true, I also feel that it is not possible, where the developer will not hand over the token and hand over the task of distributing the token to the bounty manager. Because I think it could be misused or the bounty manager might not distribute according to what has been calculated and here the task of the bounty manager is to do the calculation and report the results that have been done and obtained by the bounty hunters.

[p3ppymon]

I used to participate in many different bounty campaigns a few years ago with a few decent payouts. Nevertheless, only one in 20 was a good payout while the others revealed unsatisfactory (too much time - little reward).
These days, it seems that the rate has further declined and I am not sure bounty hunters are still able to make a decent profit / hour.

Managers just do their job.

These are the disadvantages when the bounty rewards are not esrowed. Bounty hunters should know the terms of the campaign eg duration, allocation and the time distribution, however some campaigns don’t keep their promises due to unexpected events.

[mrdeposit]

In the past, the bounty managers themselves were personally involved in the distribution, and there were even projects that saw them as a member of the team. But now it is almost impossible to face such situations. Managers' work is limited to hunters' compliance with rules and the correct division of weekly stakes. Like us, they also expect when the reward will be given. Therefore, managers are not always guilty if the reward is not given on time or not at all.

[jossiel]

There are bounty managers that are ensuring the payment for their participants because it's part of their responsibility to choose the legit and reliable bounty that they will manage. If the management of that project doesn't agree with his given term, it's up on him on how he will handle the rule.

They can follow up the distribution until it's all solved to give assurance for their participants which is part of their job. But if not, their part is limited and that's why you have to be picky in choosing although many of the bounties are not that good anymore.

a good project will have a decent amount of money to start the development and the campaign, that is why mostly they could afford to hire a good manager before running it. about distribution, it depends on their arrangement. some of them are distributed directly by the bounty manager and some of them are distributed by the team.

[fuer44]

in my opinion between the bounty hunters and gift managers are almost the same, they are just workers. and who has full control over the bounty and the token remains the team. tokens will be distributed or not, will be valuable or not, it depends on the team not the manager. so when there is a scam or a very low price, it's not the manager's fault but his team.

Managers must have an important role and carry out all the tasks associated with campaign forums, and also distribution.

if the developer doesn't believe there is still an escrow from DT. there must be some kind of initial insurance of a few percent in the form of btc or usd to guarantee the project is not negative or let the project fail only on circumstances and make participants disappointed. If it's not like this, many projects with poor quality will always move.

[soramon]

Well i think bounty manager already make a deal with the team. Bounty manager only manage campaign but the rules will create by the team. Usually the rules can be change by team and thats the sad part. Bounty manager doing his job for the best

Only few developers approves to escrow bounty funds since some funds were only available after the ICO succeed. All we can do is assess whether the project have what it takes to b succeed and get investors to assure the payment but if not then probably we're wasting our time even the bounty manager is good but the project itself is not.

[DoublerHunter]

We have nothing to do by that because there are also some projects that being escrowed already the fancy token but it also ends up nothing when it is not listing to exchange. The distributions were there but dont have value in the market. It seems useless if they are all like this. The only solution is they will pay through dollars not just by their fancy tokens. Or they will pay Ethereum as their fund collected. All projects that I joined last year, they are nonsense and no value.

The managers could also have the same thing of holding or take the token for himself instead of distributing it to the hunters as it is his job. We couldn't judge them of course, especially if they are in this industry longer than anyone else. I guess, it will all depends on the setup of the manager and the team of devs and they must agree with the terms and trust that both will keep their end of the bargain.

[Palider]

 +The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams

The bounty manager must hold the token or coin that will be paid to the participants after the campaign. But we know that we cannot expect the campaign manager to give our full rewards, nor can we guarantee that we will be paid here, especially if the bounty manager is not reputable and novice. It would be a huge disservice to the ICO campaign if the manager were to scam. So we must trust in reputable BMs because we already know that they will pay the right reward that we deserve.

good bounty manager will not guarantee projects successfull. Everything always back to developers team. Bounty manager only manage the campaign, they didn't have another responsibility in projects. Escrow usually used to campaign with fixed payment in bitcoin or ethereum. Rarely on stakes Bounty using escrow ,maybe it will spend too many cost

You're absolutely right because a situation where the project  team later run away with the bounty token does happen and we also have situations where the team discard the rules providing during their campaign. But,  bounty manager to hold the  bounty payment usually happen on the  bounty host site and before it could really on the forum I believe forum police and  bounty managers have to make such rules and regulations.

ICO's were complete mess ever since it started though it had a good run way back. Some bounty manager has become too greedy that they invalidated the bounty hunters effort to meet the requirements needed to recieve huge rewards. It usually takes up too long before ending because the marketcap is needed to be met or atleast near it. Whenever a bounty manager fails to pay back the bounty hunters, too much of their time gets wasted that's why I think it is way more better to join IEO's than ICO's today.

[posi]

I support the OP suggestion but it will be hard for manager to be fund account holder as bounty is concern because 95%  of the bounty managers have what it takes to be manager, to be trusted with bounty fund which sometimes worth $ Million and the last time I checked most. bounty manager are always after their cut while the project owners won't want to pay for escrow services.

[Greatchu]

The problem is bounty managers can cheat and project teams can cheat as well, Nestree teams was handed the spreadsheet after bounty ends but they never send my token yet few bounty hunters claim they got their, its vice versa

Yeah right, even the tokens has been distributed but if the team behind didn't bothered to list the coin to any exchange there's nothing left for the bounty participants. The situations nowadays is really getting tougher, there's no other options but to continue trying your best looking fro the right team and project
to support and participate hoping for the best outcomes..

if I remember correctly before 2018, the distribution was carried out by the manager and the project team never used their team as a manager in the bounty program but everything changed after the number of managers' performance that was not correct and often cheating then therefore now the project teams had do not entrust the distribution carried out by managers outside the team.
there are good and bad things, good at reducing cheating by incompetent managers, the bad thing is, often not paid and is not responsible because they are directly handled by the project itself.
The last bounty manager I participated in and really believed was at the bountyhive portal, because I think everything was handled by the bountyhive team, everything was paid even though not all of them (the project) were successful but still paid.

There's really very few bounty managers that could be trusted, everyone here in our forum really wanted to earn a lot, but for some they are doing something that will make them rich in just a blink of an eye, since they are the manager, they are taking this for granted as they know that they are the ones controlling on it. But still I believe that there's a lot of managers out there that can still be trusted.

[Thomas-s]

I think that the ideal way to distribute rewards is when the project team sends tokens to the guarant before the start of the bounty campaign and the guarant is not the bounty manager, but just an independent person. After the work is done, the bounty managers send the spreadsheet to the team and the team instructs the guarant to begin distributing the reward

[White Christmas]

Actually it depends on the situation on what would be the agreement of the bounty manager and the project team. If the project team or the project developer that the bounty manager is the one who will just manage the bounty hunters on checking if the bounty hunters that he/she allowed to joined on the bounty campaign are doing good or the bounty hunters are just keep messing around the project, or the bounty manager will be the one who will give the payment, stakes, tokens to the bounty hunters who are participating to the bounty campaign. In my years here in crypto I experience a lot of that who are the bounty managers are just the person who checks the operation of the bounty project.

[o.ogurlu]

The task of the bounty manager is to successfully run the bounty campaign. Token delivery depends on the agreement with the manager and the team of the project. But in general, the tokens are probably distributed by the team.

There are a lot of projects that their bounty managers are part of the project, so the team will be the one to decide about the distribution, and when it comes to an independent manager, it depends on the arrangement, but it's better if the bounty manager has a good reputation and the arrangement is he is the one to hold the tokens that he will be distributing, it's fairer to bounty hunters because they are sure to receive the bounty.

[valuater]

I think it's a bit true that it causes bounty hunters not to receive their rewards, but in the past I often saw several bounty managers escort rewards for bounty participants and the surprise happened because bounty manager corrupted by manipulating spreadsheets as if it were a participant's account even though it was is a fake account created by them and from there they took a lot of profit and the great thing was that it was an altseason so I think they got hundreds of thousands of dollars easily, and because of this I think we go back to old tradition of waiting for the team of project to share rewards but I think if we choose the right project we will still get paid.

[ned.ryerson]

the most important thing is that the bounty manager also receives a reward in the tokens of his project. in this case, he will also be interested in the project living and developing

Many bounty campaign manager can't believe with their project after ICO success and have distributed reward for bounty campaign participants, I found one bounty campaign manager always delay distributing bounty reward more than three months after bounty campaign ended, from finishing spreadsheet take more than one month until distributed coin always delay.

[johnwest]

Its not that simple as you feel, there are allot of factors which play in between a team and a bounty manager. An escrow might help interfacing everything with a neutral perspective but these practices will need more investment which the companies wont like to pay. There are some very good managers like Yahoo who are transparent and answer most of the queries.

[kodtycoon]

correct, most of the bounty managers only do a calculation and monitor the participants, but most of the events that exist are to always use escrow but many projects do not agree with these rules so they will only hire bounty managers who have no reputation in the forum. so to anticipate being hit by a scam project is about seeing who the manager is and whether the funds or prizes have been saved in escrow or not, so at least the bounty participants will be comfortable and no longer need to bother researching every existing project

It was already done in the past but the project turned out to be a scam, while the tokens are worthless after it. I wasn't even added to the exchange so the cycle of all these scams are still going on up to this day.

Bounty hunters will start to trust when there is someone who will serve as escrow but then tokens are still going to be worthless when its not on the exchange. This is why its best for them to just pay BTC or ETH.

Yes, but also reputable bounty manager is not a warranty that you will receive your tokens.
Also in last days I do not see problem that tokens are not paid to bounty hunters, but the problem is that the tokens do not have value.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I heard that what most bounty managers do is to conduct the bounty project and later submit to projects teams for distribution, is this not why some projects never paid bounty hunters?

I don't know exactly what you meant by that, but I'm pretty sure that's what they do.  What the projects *don't* do is, one, pay in bitcoin or Eth and two, put funds into escrow before the bounty starts.  I think that's why so many bounty hunters get scammed. 

If they didn't pay in tokens, the project owners would be able to escrow funds and thus ensure that the hunters got paid and there wouldn't be reason to worry.  As it stands, the bounty hunters do all of this work on spec, all up front, and then they hope they get paid in the end.  That's one of the big issues.  These bounties aren't run like typical signature campaigns that you see in the services section.  I don't think I've ever seen any of those scam their participants at the end of the campaign.  They usually get paid weekly as well.

[duuuuude]

Your point makes sense but if the bounty manager himself or herself can't be trusted there will be issues as well, to me both bounty manager and project team can fail to pay hunters, so instead i suggest to always promote projects from reliable bounty managers

No matter how reliable the managers are now, they will not be able to change the situation on the market. In general a manager is only a hired employee who does his job and only counting and distributing tokens depends on him.

[seleme]

The arrangement between the bounty managers and the team is the point here, they never want to use the escrow for holding the campaign budget. If there was an escrow, the delaying bounty distributions shouldn't happen in the first place. The changing variables are more in the bounty campaign allocations which can be reduced or increased depending on the market conditions.

As far as i know there are reliable bounty managers that you can trust immediately once he/she handles the campaign. Some bounty manager will tell to the participants right away if the said bounty campaign is planning to scam the participants. Only few bounty/campaign manager can be trusted here and the rest are still trying.

So, How if the bounty managers turn to scam the dev and bounty hunter?
if bounty managers hold the tokens, it would be risky for stakeholder (dev, investor, bounty hunters)

That's why bounty managers dont hold the tokens. isnt it logic?

The big problem why bounty hunter doesnt get paid is about 'dev scamming' and 'dont get good investment'

[vanya.pronin.1983]

Generally speaking you are right, but I have met enough bounty managers that just scammed hunters after the end. Furthermore, not all bounty projects are managed by famous managers on this forum, a lot of bounties are held by their teams.

[tenakha]

Yes, but also reputable bounty manager is not a warranty that you will receive your tokens.

I do not think so. Reputable BMs are not stupid enough to sell the trust they have collected over the years for a few bucks. In addition, they always know how to do their jobs well and not trust anyone. Therefore, they request that the sufficient amount be kept in escrow.

It is possible to face all kinds of BM in this forum, even one of the project developers can manage the bounty. It is good to stay with the reliable ones, they essentially work with good projects and they are safe enough.

+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends

Avoid these and teams might decide not to pay or send out half payments to half of the hunters, it should be more like how IEO is where exchange stands between investors and team

For me I think it doesn’t really matter
Any project that will pay will do so either with an escrow or not

Sending rewards to escrow or bounty manager is not the way out
Because the token could be swapped after or before sales

The best way is to follow the right project and the right pattern of payment after work happens naturally

[Finestream]

+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends

I am alright with this suggestion as long as the bounty manager who holds is reputable or we can hire the service of a reputable escrow here.

But, with only few number of bounty managers that pass in my definition of reputable, I doubt the team would allow that to happen, because if bounty manager will scam, it would still affect their reputation badly, and remember that the total reward is a big amount ranging from $100K to $1M value in tokens or coins.

[htsy585]

It actually depends on the arrangement between the bounty manager and the team. Some projects bounty are distributed by the manager and sometimes managers are only responsible on keeping track and submitting the spread sheet to the team for distribution.

I still think its wrong. Whatever the arrangement is with the Project team. It only shows that the bounty manager is incapable and lacks eptitutde. Bounty0x has exhibited such ugly attitudes in the past and hunters hate them for it. Actually, they suffer distrust and credibility issues at the moment because hunters have lost confidence in them

Whatever it is, once the bounty hunters have received their equal shares from the bounty project, it will always give credits to the bounty manager as a responsible and a reputable one. I think a bounty manager should always be a responsible one so that the bounty project he is handling will end up as a successful one.

[Callanta787]

1. Bounty managers can run away with the total tokens
2. They can't be both trusted this is part of the risks bounty hunter must consider
3. New projects should seek out for highly rated bounty managers on this forum, they will have to come to an agreement or just avoid the headache and start following good bounty managers

Sure, they could give the managers in charge to manage the distribution, only if that managers has a solid, and good reputation through and through.

They cannot just easily give access to bounty managers about such thing. Whether you get paid or not is another story.

What's been mentioned is a must, but when the project team itself fails to pay the bounty managers then how come the participants will receive the bounties. There are lot of bounty managers who take responsibility of bounty transfer, but when the team fails nothing will be distributed. Here the project team moves on looking for the development of some other project. The bounty managers are the one who gets negative trust and bad reputation.

For this reason most of the bounty managers just serve as a moderator who looks after the campaign as well as submits regular reports to the project team. Rest will be between the participants and project team.

[TanakabZX]

Its left for the teams to decide if they are going to let the bounty manager distribute the tokens or not, sometimes new project find it hard to trust bounty managers that is why they do the distribution themselves

The reputations is in stake here, if the manager will be allowed to hold the fund and serve as the escrow it should be a person who have a good and solid reputation. Developers who choose this way needs to consider that every bounty hunters are looking for good securities of receiving the share that they should have after the bounty period was over. In good faith, it can serve as an assurance that bounty participants will receive the bounty rewards once the manager already holding the funds.

There were times when the bounty manager itself are the ones taking the tokens so it would be really hard for the team to trust them too, also bounty manager can easily get those tokens and can manipulate the sheet, so the team needs to handle the tokens, I won't agree that the manager will handle it, but still depends if the bounty manager is trusted like Yahoo then why not.

I agree with that but money is very hot, even if manager with good reputation can also be tempted to steal the money if it really involves a big amount.
I don't know how the team will manage to make sure the funds are secured and they their reputation are not accepted if the manager choose to steal the money. The normal trend in the market is that the team always holds the tokens and then they will just send it after the bounty program is over, however, if its possible to do it in a weekly basis, I think that would be a wise solution.

In fact, most of the bounty managers don't take all their money to run away, there are very few cases like that. But the more unfortunate case is that I see more and more bounty managers getting scammed every day. they are like us, working for others and when that project goes wrong or is fraud, they will have 0 salary. I also did a small bounty campaign and unfortunately it was a scam project and I didn't have any money for 2 months serving them. so don't blame the bounty managers, they're victims as well as us.

[maxreish]

I think you misunderstood the job and the responsible of the bounty manager.
Bounty manager actually manages the whole campaign or the project itself. Selections of bounty hunters who will gonna promote the project, distribution of token rewards that the CEO gave to the manager.  The payment of the project always depends on the owner. They are just giving the trust to the manager. Well, that was my experience before as a bounty hunter.

Always select the best bounty manager to give you the benefit of the doubt. Some may forward the bounty hunters to the team itself after the promotions for the rewards but some may not and let the manager do it as well.

[starblocks]

What you're referring to is escrow of the bounty rewards and this isn't common practice amongst most bounty campaigns although it should be and you could request it up front when applying for a campaign if you had any concerns as this is one of the major issues bounty hunters face

Sometimes the bounty managers to a good job handling the bounty campaign but end up as the owner itself do not pay the bounty managers and the bounty hunters,
The owner itself is the one who will be going to pay the bounty hunters the managers will just be sent the list of the eligible bounty hunters that will received the reward,
But still depends on the agreement of the bounty manager and the owner of the campaign itself.

[BigBos]

yeah, i also think that way. it would be better if the manager also helped in the distribution and more about the bounty. but, it's like escrow, and after all, I think the team still controls it. it's the same as a bountyhive site, or other bounty sites. they are trying to become an escrow for the part of the bounty project that they handle, but until now it seems that this has not been realized evenly on each bounty project.

The problem here is that some manager dont often concern on the participants. Yes the project is indeed legit but somehow you can't force them to spend the tokens they promise right away to those who joined their campaign especially if the price of the token could somehow depleted in the future. I am so disappointed with these kind of projects which after some works rendered by hunters it seems they utmost concern is the liquidity alone of the project.

How about the efforts those who help them reached their stance? Manager should be helpful to them. Funny cause they are paid but its okay their reputation is on the line.

[EdvinZ]

I really liked the idea of having tokens for subsequent rewards at the disposal of well-known bounty managers on the forum. So the guarantee on the payouts are increased several times. Nobody of the local bounty manager would not risk his reputation and not to pay tokens. And now the distribution of tokens after the bounty is managed by people from the project team, who do not care about their reputation, so there are so many non-payments and cuts in payments.

unfortunately the campaign manager only does their job by collecting data, and distribution matters are returned to the project team people who have access to the tokens. if only the manager could hold the payment fund for the participant, maybe the project would be pure

If the bounty manager is trustworthy I want him to hold the tokens and he will be the one to distribute to bounty hunters, but sometimes, these projects are the one who manages the campaign, we just have to check if the project is legit, a legit project will not let jeopardize their campaign by not distributing bounties of their participants, it will ruin their reputation.

[OasisDre]

Its better to always follow popular bounty managers then if you think its a bad idea for bounty managers to hold tokens but few bounty managers can be trusted, we know them because of their sincerity

[leea-1334]

1. If bounty managers run then they cannot take a second job,,, so they have to open a new accounts with new identities, which will not even be looked at by campaigns.
2. The risk is always there on all ends but this is why the reputations of both managers and projects should be considered by bounty hunters.
3. New projects should do things themselves for full transparency I believe, or spend a lot on good managers.

[HabiebRiziq]

 +The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams

if the bounty manager holds all the tokens and he is the one who distributes the tokens to the participants who participated in the project, of course it will harm the project developer, because they could have carried off a number of tokens or they could have distributed tokens These are not in accordance with the amount that should have been obtained or they could have reported to the developer not in accordance with the number of people participating or arguably part of it was taken for themselves.

so far the manager does not have much access to the payment, they only collect data on the work of bounty participants and keep the campaign running well. and for distribution is fully managed by the team concerned

As bounty managers, they should be responsible for information, the information that bounty hunters needed. I agree that bounty managers should guide the bounty team from the start until the end, what I mean is that, if there is such new rules given by the team, the manager should give it to the bounty hunters so they can know. And as a bounty hunter, you should do your tasks very well, accomplish what is needed to accomplish do not break any rules of the forum and especially the rules of the bounty campaign itself.

In the current time it is the major issue with many projects. In this case I will request the authorities to make a rule that the projects have to escrow the funds with manager from the start of the bounty campaign. Many projects ends with failure and the bounty hunters get nothing for their work in this case it is also important that the developers have to escrow some funds in BTC or other valuable coin so that if their coin fail then bounty hunters get paid in cash for their hard work.

[NoirSuccubus]

Come on, friend, you can't force personal will to be like that. The division of tasks and work and rules have become the authority of the bounty manager and the development team. Usually a professional bounty manager with a good reputation will explain how the reward distribution process will be, whether handled by the developer team directly, or through the bounty manager, or through an escrow service as proof that they will really pay. So you should understand that well and look for information clearly so that it is not easy to draw conclusions and think bad.

If it's possible the bounty manager should be the one to hold if the manager is a freelancer, he can protect the integrity of the distribution because his reputation is at stake here, if he fails to deliver the bounty in a fair manner.

It is true, it is not part of their job as a bounty manager, but there are times that the project gives the right to the bounty manager to hold the funds for the bounty campaign. It only happen if the bounty manager is only reputable and trusted enough to do the job.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

Pre-paid campaigns should really become a new standard of bounty hunting. Escrow + reputable bounty managers, the ones that would have a lower risk of fleeing with the funds. It would be doable but status quo is just so much simpler and easier so I doubt it will change any time soon.

[swivel1983@gmail.com]

It happens that the bounty manager is in agreement with the project team and together they deceive the bounty hunters. But to be honest, it all depends on the conditions under which the bounty manager works. Sometimes he is not responsible for counting tokens and therefore is not responsible for the fact that you are not paid for the work.

[Gotumoot]

The bounty managers should actually hold the funds to give to bounty hunters when the campaign is over.

This is also mentioned in another theread, which should also be half of the bounty rewards based on ethereum or bitcoin so that the bounty hunter's time, sacrifice and effort are worth it.

My preferred bounty hunting campaign is the ones which is escrowed and held by a reputable member of this forum, a hunter will be on a safer side ie the possibility of cheating a hunter if the fund is held by the manager is zero, the decision must be made by the hunter thus by doing so is at the hunter's risk,
its sad to hear touching stories of bounty hunters not being paid after many days and months of promoting a project this is some of the risk involved in bounty campaigns.

Very good consideration. That can minimize the recent drama that often happens where bounty hunters often become victims, it could be because of the allocation that was cut, the delay in distribution, tokens or coins locked, etc. Before joining a bounty, we must also prepare mentally to face such a bitter reality.

I heard that what most bounty managers do is to conduct the bounty project and later submit to projects teams for distribution, is this not why some projects never paid bounty hunters?

Your bad experience with this type of payment cannot be generalized. I participated in many bounty projects whose distribution was handled by the developer but still gave the bounty manager the full right even though there were a few dramas, yes we know that the market situation was not good, so it could be tolerated.
But never mind, that way you understand that it is one form of risk in joining bounties, right?
My advice, do not make conclusions like that, it really depends on each project, can not be generalized, next time choose a project with more depth, choose a reliable BM, and prepare mentally stronger.

first of all, you must to know that every deal with some project has a different condition. in some projects, maybe BM can make a deal with the team for doing ESCROW (Bounty Payment) to the third party to avoid scam in the future. but sometimes, the team don't want to do an escrow and want to handle their payment with their own. at least, the main duty of Bounty manager is managing and controlling bounty participants and make sure they do their task in every campaign. 

[tiptopgemdotcom]

The dirty bounty campaigns don't pay the bounty hunters with blaming the market conditions but the market condition is the excuse for filtering the bounty hunters. I doubt the bull market will show the good sides of the bounty campaigns, the situation will be stable for a long time. I also prefer to join the reliable bounty campaigns because of the payment issues at the end of the campaigns or after the token sale.

The problem is when you can't dictate the developer. Okay, let's say you will create an agreement between the manager and the develoepers but the developers are so greedy and they don't wannt to send the money even to the trusted manager. So many developers are doing it right now.

The above highlighted issue facing bounty hunters, managers and team have made many hunters to have issues with the manager(s). I can remember PMing a manager asking when we will be paid and said "it's not him that will pay rather the team". Till date we were not paid.

In a time where a lot of bounties turned out to be a scam sometimes you don’t which to believe and join. As you don’t really know much about how reliable are the people behind these projects then you will resort to the bounty manager hired by the team of the project. Reputable members would surely be a good impression since there are bounty mangers who are quiet strict on what bounties to manage by going through extreme measures to ensure that it would not be waste of his time and his bounty participants.

In my opinion, if the team of a crypto project let's the Bounty Manager to organize their Bounty campaign, they need to use him as an escrow and to send him tokens before the start of the campaign.

Managers should indeed hold bounty hunters' tokens and distribute them, but now there are rarely such projects that want to send them first to the manager. I see all the prizes that I participated in by the project team themselves who sent the bounty tokens, and the manager only counted the work of the bount hunter.

It depends on how they're going to do the payment and distribution. We can't put all the blame to bounty managers because in some cases, even managers end up being unpaid. The entire team including the developers plays a vital role in the distribution of payments. It's just necessary that we have to look for trusted bounty managers and legit projects so we'll have an assurance of being paid accordingly.

that is the sad truth on bounty . we rarely see a manager hold the funds ( or escrow atleast ) but the owner wants the project to finish first before he lend out the payments .  many hunters still agree with this kind of rule though even if its risky and the chances of thier work to be wasted is high because they are the ones that needed the job anyways so why will  they be against with the rules'  ?  unless if they are picky then they will just ignore these kind of bounties

I heard that what most bounty managers do is to conduct the bounty project and later submit to projects teams for distribution, is this not why some projects never paid bounty hunters?

 +The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams
+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends

Avoid these and teams might decide not to pay or send out half payments to half of the hunters, it should be more like how IEO is where exchange stands between investors and team

if the manager is trusted im not afraid if he hold the tokens for the bounty, but if the manager is newbie and not trusted i will not allow him to hold the bounty tokens, cause there are already cases where the manager run away together with the bounty tokens after the campaign.
