Just a thought about bounties and bounty managers

[bittick]

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.

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.
