Just a thought about bounties and bounty managers

[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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

Some bounty managers can't be trusted that is why project teams don't want to send all tokens for bounty manager to hold and distribute, we all know how much a bounty pool always worth, thousands of dollars to millions

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.

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.
