BOUNTY PAYMENT MATTERS

[flagpara]

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.

As project types bounty promote is up to CEO that bounty is mandatory, request doesn't work. Now top exchange IEO doesn't need bounty campaign. This types of bounty support post we can make but don't work. Still I can't see any process which projects didn't distribute bounty payment because all devs is guessing bounty is free reward.

It's not even a new idea, people has been offered and discussed about this escrow thingy for several years yet new projects are so stubborn with their rules and regulation to actually release the bounty payments to escrow.

I think by actually saving the pool to escrow makes the project become more well known and could bring more investors because the funds are actually safe and you don't need to be afraid for not getting paid(how much is the reward is not a case here that's a different story)>

This is a good suggestion though it has been discussed already in the previous years and up to now still nothing happens. I think it's our initiative already which bounty campaigns to join so we should make a thorough research about the project before participating in it. If the project fails and refuse to pay us, we have nothing to do but find another potential project again.

it is a risk to plunge into the world of bounties, because bounties nowadays there are a lot of failures so we have to be sincere if the projects that we follow fail so we have to find other alternatives to get money besides following the bounties

It is a wise decision but it is impossible to happen. This forum was not responsible to filter every project by requiring them to provide an early payment or hold their money by an escrow that can be use if ever that they don't pay bounty hunters. It is always on our end to look for bounty campaigns to participate with, it is also our responsibility to find a legit one.

many of these projects currently use prize hunters only to promote their projects and after that they don't want to pay for the prize hunter's top hard work. that's it's very sad and of course many prize hunters cry after their hard work is only paid for with tears. everyone has the right to ask for payment, but that is the problem right now. It should be SCAM projects not be held in this forum because that's it is very detrimental.

This is the reason why only few bounty hunter's continue to promote a project . If you see marketplace altcoin you will see the difference from what participants before and compare it to what it is now there mnay changes and participants reduce to almost nothing now.

[sangjoewara]

Yes the number of fails projects are increasing day by day and they are refused to pay for bounty hunters rewards.and it costs a lot of our time and hard work has been wasted so better to get a payment with weekly bases in any good coins like btc or any other altcoins.

That's right, I personally also experience things like you said, sometimes I also feel disappointed with projects that don't pay, because they have wasted my time for months, because time is a very valuable capital and a thing that is not can be repeated again.

[trauchot]

Of course, I completely agree with you, but unfortunately I do not think there will be many such companies that will immediately transfer their tokens in escrow, and there are already such bounty platforms where they are engaged in this, but of course there are a lot of problems there.

[isaac_clarke22]

It is great actually to have an escrow but too few would consider paying for an escrow service, because pretty much it is due to their own budget plan for the project. There will always be scams hiding in the shadows in the bounty board. A reputated BM could reduce the possibility of getting scammed in bounties, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that everything is still in the hands on those who manage it. Having an ETH payment is quite nice, but most bounties pay through stakes.

[bgaf]

Yeah, the best idea i think and it would be guaranteed payment for the bounty hunters. Definitely after this rules bounty will be changing but mostly the new projects will be oppose these rule.

Not just oppose but totally will never agreed. You can make some exceptions such as xx coin having their signature campaign with btc payment even though they are still on their ICO stage. Ive remember metahash campaign by Irfan_pak10 which also gave ethereum as payment rather than the coin. But OP suggestion would mess up a lot of new projects if this will be implemented. Probably many will not agree to the terms if such new provision about this will come out.

[SquallLeonhart]

This is a very good idea, but the problem is – this is a cryptocurrency space and there is nobody that will handle such work unless you’re referring to the mods in this forum because they are the ones that can at least be trusted with such a job, but I don’t think they will agree to do that. If cryptocurrency is something that is regulated/centralized, then such thing would have been possible.

So, it is not going to be possible, you just have to look for the projects that are really good and go for it. Any project that seems suspicious to you should be avoided so that you don’t end up in a situation where you will not be paid after your hard work.

If their projects are successful in funding sometimes there are some projects that do not want to pay bounty hunters while their projects continue, there are even cases of teams cutting bounty allocations without prior notice to the participants and this makes them disappointed because their work is only paid cheap when time campaign for quite a long time.

There's nothing we can do but ask for good bounty payments from the managers who take responsibility for the payments. Other participants might be annoyed with this kind of situation, but as a person with professionalism, we must understand and have patience over this matter. Some of these project that continued to prosper with their project have perfect time to pay their participants as long as they're getting updates from the team.

If any decide to be a bounty Hunter always know that you are on your own, you have to safe your neck, time and energy yourself by doing research, moderators have enough things on their hands to worry about, not legitimacy of new projects, it's none of their business

[desertfox470]

I actually don't know if its good or bad but it might be actually good but It's been a while since I have read a thread here in the forum about a bounty hunter that wasn't get paid but in order to protect the bounty hunters for their works and efforts.

Have you tried posting it to meta section moderators or DT-users might find this good but they're too busy to handle this matter and need to focus more on more serious discussion in the forum however, nothing to lose if you try at least.

[sayaya17]

The idea is very good, maybe if your idea is executed and the BTT forum approve it then the bounty hunters will worry about payment again, it will work quieter and most profitable if the project is good and successful. It could have been realised if everything was compact and posed this idea to the forum. I agree with this idea.

[gensol]

Except these payment's are made using stable coins if not there's no point paying escrow with native tokens which we do not know if it will turn out to be scam at the end or if they will ever make going to exchange.

[retnoanjani]

Most members agree on what the OP suggests. Some people have also given suggestions to make a thread on the meta section for this, maybe they can get more effective advice from the special members there.

Well, I also consider this effective. Although it cannot later be made into an official rule, an effective first step is to start from the Bounty Manager. Bounty Managers can propose conditions for using escrow to be able to work with him, this will provide benefits in increasing the trust of bounty hunters, and can be a preventive way to maintain the reputation of the bounty manager. So that it will cause symbiosis of mutualism. And this will make "fraudsters" who from the beginning deliberately will commit fraud on the bounty hunter.

If you want an escrow service then I suggest you look no further than bountyhive, you will never miss a payment from the website, but that doesn't mean the tokens are always good or have good value, even on this forum there are few BM that makes sure that every hunters get paid

For me, I would rather join a bounty that is announce in the forum, I feel it's more transparent and people can investigate on the project well, and of course the rules of the bounty is final, in case the BM will scam, we can seek help from the community to red tag the scammer, and for sure with enough evidence we can get good support from the community.

You are promoting Reckoon bounty project which is available on bountyhive, the website uses escrow so I belief that's why you make this post, this forum is different from bountyhive because bountyhive is a bounty platform, this forum is not a bounty platform, all you can do is find trust bounty managers and you should b fine
