BOUNTY PAYMENT MATTERS

[Furious 7]

Don't promote project that don't have escrow funds or unrealistic goals or ideas like those setting imaginary price for their token that isn't even listed on exchanges or done with their crowdfunding. You can even take it a step further by only promoting project willing to pay you in well established cryptocurrency like bitcoin.

It is better to promote projects that already have reserve funds so that we will get paid for sure and also on time to be honest I prefer campaigns like that compared to having to promote altcoin projects that are not so clear because they have to wait for a new successful fundraising we can but if it fails then we will get a token of no value.
It seems like now it will be included in the trend of BTC paid campaigns because now there are so many campaigns like that.

Will it be wise if this forum put up a request that ALL NEW PROJECTS EXPECTING TO RUN BOUNTIES SHOULD PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY BOUNTY OR run an ESCROW.
The fund will be use to settle hunters should incase project owners Refuse to pay hunters Or decides to play tricks with hunters payment after a successful bounty campaign. For over a long period, hunters has been crying and wailing about successful campaigns that has refused to make payment. there are new campaigns on-going and more projects will run bounty campaigns sooner or later. the issue of payment is still a lingering problem here with No solid profound solution. Apart from the fact that some projects has the ANN Thread labelled as SCAMS, it is still do not offer solutions to payments.

the idea above is just a suggestion.. we all hope that a perfect solution will solve this issue of projects refusing to settle hunters here and will promote this platform.

Sounds like an escrow plan but not all new projects will abide by this and I won't blame them because not all bounty manager can be trusted either, they can take over the bounty allocation tokens and do  anyhow with the tokens for example share few portion and keep the rest

Yes, currently not all projects use escrow to store their tokens, only a few projects make escrow, except for projects posted on this forum service, all of which have escrow and payments are also on time and payments are also mostly in the form of Bitcoin.

bounty with fixed rate in bitcoin or ethereum that usually posted in services board must using escrow to attract trust from participant and also forum member. if they dont use escrow usually trusted member will ask the bounty manager or team to do this.
if all campaign could do this rules i am sure risk of scam projects could decrease alot,

Only a few campaigns use escrow and I think it's a good idea if a campaign uses escrow because bounty hunters think the project is legit. But to see whether the campaign is good or not, I think choosing a long-time bounty manager is one way to determine whether the campaign is good or not.

That's already the job of an escrow, it's a way to secure the payment if ever the bounty would be successful or not. Escrow will secure that everyone will get paid according to the agreed budget of the developers with the manager.

It's not actually the job of the forum to add such requests and it has been a reminder that the forum doesn't monitor the scams, it's not their job but we as members can help each other to remind and have a say what are these projects.

Crypto society is a free society where everyone is not limited to do whatever they likes whether they are a genuine project owner or just a shit scammers. But your suggestion is not a bad idea for the forum moderators to consider in the future but it will take a time and effort for the individuals to do the job.

But if the forum will assign this task to the bounty managers before they launch any campaign then it will be good. I already saw some of the bounty managers are doing it like they escrow the funds of the bounty campaign but there are very few of them that are doing this job so if the mods will require this then we can lessen the chances that the bounty hunters will not be paid for their work.

Escrow is what many wants but not going to happen, there are still trust issues between developers/team and bounty managers, only very few new projects trust bounty managers with their tokens

The suggestion in good faith will helps the bounty hunters to make sure that the team will pay them after the period of promotions has been done.
Most of those new projects that keep popping around are not dealing with any escrow and simply runaway or do some escape alibis not to pay
the right amount or not to pay at all.
This kind of process can give small assurance to people who are engage with bounty huntings,.

[Goodvalony]

The duty of hunters is to present a project to potential investors. the niche to harness a project and make it an marketable is such a huge talent. for hunters to strive and market a product takes time and dedication to convince individuals to invest their money into it. it is right to say that it is disheartening that at the end, owners regards hunters as worthless and valueless people. it raises to the point that the real owners of the project may not pay the physical staffs in the office working for these owners whenever the budget is low.

Have pity on the moderators, do you even now how hard it is to run this forum you are on right now? It's not easy mate and to even conduct a bounty campaign as a bounty manager is extremely stressful, moderators can't do this all, they are humans like us too

[bhabygrim]

You have a good point but at the same time if every projects start paying before bounty it still doesn't stop the fact that those coins can be worthless or scam, you can get paid of a token or coin that won't be useful for anyone,

Secondly the moderators on this forum have enough jobs on their hands, that won't be a easy task for those who look after this forum, moderators are humans like us and not super humans

I think it would be great and in fact the mods could also gain some extra money from it,
If they act as an escrow they would surely be paid,
And about the scam or worthless rewards I think it would be great if the escrow would also hold some funds for the bounty participants.
Let's say their promise fund is $100K for the bounty then the escrow would hold 50% before the bounty even starts and the participants could choose to be paid with any crypto that they like.

[strunberg]

only good campaign and bonafide that will disposed to use escrow. they have their own fund to promote their project and didnt depend on tokensale result. so they will continue the project although didnt even reach softcap. but usually this kind of campaign only provide small allocation cause the want price stable in market.

[Leonardo7]

This largely depends on the bounty managers, as for bitcointalk, I don't see them forcing anymore implementing such policy as regards bounty since the main purpose of this forum is not about bounty but majorly education. The onions are mainly on the manager and people should avoid shitty projects too.

[ethereumhunter]

That can work perfectly if the bounty payment is in bitcoin or usdt so the participants will not have to worry if the project will be a scam. But so far, almost the bounty campaign pays the participants with their token/coin, so that makes the participants sad if the project is a scam. Besides that, I don't think that the team will agree to apply for the payment in bitcoin because they need to allocate some bitcoin for their participants. All in all, I think that is a good idea to prevent the scam project in the future.

[xvids]

Bounty payment matters and bounty is already dying,
So I suggest that for the future bounties they should make some payment that the hunter could already use or trade.
For example their bounty allocation should also be split into half of their project crypto and half into BTC,ETH or USDT,
In order to secure the reward of their participants and there should be an escrow for every bounty.

[thesmallgod]

unless they pay in ETH, BTC or other strong coin, things will still be the same. There are some independent bounty platforms such as bountyhive that have adopted this in the past but the result is the same. till date, I have some token on mew that was given to me via bounty hunting and they arent listed in any exchange. It could even be worse than the dev team will give all the bounty hunters token and locked the token or decide to create a new smart contract different from the one that contains hunters' reward. I have experienced this in the past

I think in the forum, it is not Mandatory to use escrow for your Bounties.
but recent occurrences suggest that Bounties in the service section are mostly escrowed (that's where you get btc paying signatures)

For other Bounties, your research activities should guide you

[Davian144]

Escrow is what many wants but not going to happen, there are still trust issues between developers/team and bounty managers, only very few new projects trust bounty managers with their tokens

Because of the lack of trust, the project developer must choose a manager who is truly trusted in managing their project or token, if this is not available, then the best choice is Escrow, not the others.

[Wildwest]

Indeed at this time the ICO project is very difficult for us to believe fully, and the idea that you explain will be the solution for all of us and I strongly agree because the current bounty hunters are very frustrated with the constantly running Scamer, to In the future, we hope there is a change so that the forum will grow and we as a bounty hunter can get the result of our work.
