BOUNTY PAYMENT MATTERS

[rahulthemoksh]

Sounds like a good idea. Will put a stop on scam project who wish to run bounty just to run away with money. When they have something at stake, here money for instance in escrow. Less scam projects would go ahead with bounty.

I know with several bounty manager use escrow for payment method and I allow with their campaign, we don't know about the future success or not an ICO project and listed on bigger exchange but we need and looking for payment faster and bounty manager is trusted, they will never delay payment for bounty participants.

I just hope the projects I join in bounty will succeed because it's the fastest way for me to receive tokens from them and I can sell them at exchanges. If I participate in escrow campaigns, I can receive valuable tokens and I cannot sell them at any exchange in this market.

That is why all respected managers supervising companies with payment at BTC work only through escrow, with very few exceptions, such as best changer.
But even if the developers of new projects will allocate part of their tokens as a guarantee, it still does not give the employee any guarantees, because tokens can become garbage after entering the market.

Paying escrow funds for bounty hunters will be the best option because most projects don't pay hunters at the end of the campaign. If there's some sort of escrow payment which will ensure hunters gets paid that will be nice.

You have got a very good suggestions, but the truth remains that it is rare for bounty posted in the bounty sections to use escrow.
Even in the service section (where there are several bitcoin paying bounties; lets say just half uses escrows).

The most recent altcoin bounty to use escrow is the GeomaDao Bounty, and am sure we are all looking forward to a better altcoin bounty this year 2020

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.

I used to join bounty campaigns before where an escrow fund was set up to ensure the legitimacy of the campaign. I remember that there were many participants who joined those projects as they have a sense of trust that their hard work and effort in doing bounty tasks would be rewarded. But right now it is rare to see such a campaign. Having an escrow will really minimize scam projects and invite bounty participants again.

but when the escrow is in the token payment also that will be obtained by the bounty participant, the same will not change the risk that will be obtained by the bounty hunter. because the value and the future of tokens that will be received also no one knows. even after being registered in the token exchange from bounty, not many of them have good value.

Very good idea, if all bounties run the rules like that, Bounty Hunter will not wait long to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
My very memorable experience was when I joined the yobit campaign, after we post, they immediately pay the bounty hunter so quickly, and they pay for our work in the form of BTC. if a rule like this is applied in a forum, I think the bounty hunter will not be trapped again in a bounty scam.

Yobit was a scam exchange, but to be honest, their signature campaign is the best I've seen. Participants can receive and withdraw BTC anytime they want and the budget for this signature campaign is also great

The rules that are applied in a yobit campaign are very simple, each participant can enjoy the results of their work in a matter of hours, And they always pay for every participant who has posted without missing anything. Rules like this should be adopted by other campaigns, so that bounty hunters are more enthusiastic in doing their work. With rules like that, we never find case of allocation cuts after the project was successful, or the bounty team runs without a trace so that the bounty hunter doesn't get paid at all.

This forum gave you the freedom to choose anything you want so its your job to find the real bounties and its already mentioned that scams are not moderated here so you have to take care of your money and DT system will help you for that.If someone involved in scam then create flag as well so that user will be given warning when others posts on their threads.

[cute nmp]

Such a great idea which will be very beneficial to bounty hunters many atimes bounty Hunter are not been paid for their jobs .The only problem is that many bounties will not agree with the it but it is a very nice idea in which people will be paid their righteous  dues for their works.

[amonymous]

To be honestly bounty payment before or after it doesn't matter because real project will paid you and fake project will never paid you. Explain like if one project will paid you but no have volume with price then this token never give you happynes. So you need always try to search good real project like more partnership with biggest exchange roadmap.

[Krislaw]

This can only be a win win case if the project raised enough funds and lists on a good market, then the fund escrowed is valuable.
Using an escrow can be forced as a rule but setting a compulsory allocation doesn't seem right because it'll appear as if you are trying to regulate what they have. It's hard to get good bounties these days and I'll say making escrow compulsory is a good step.

[kensaii]

I kinda like the idea but I don't think it going to work. Who will take the deposits? what factor to chose them?...
Make more hassle for bounty campaign and bounty hunter when involved too many parties in it, drama ensures.

No, it really matters because before when they pay the value of the token or token is good, so bounty hunters will be happy.
The only difference now is that they can't sell the bounty reward at a good price as it will dump when traded in exchanges.

Explain like if one project will paid you but no have volume with price then this token never give you happynes. So you need always try to search good real project like more partnership with biggest exchange roadmap.

The strategy that we should use at the moment is to look for good project, once the bounty reward will be receive, we have to hold it.
Lastly, be PATIENT as time will come we will be able to enjoy that reward we hold.

Buddy... Many things are going to work to safeguard the labour of bounty hunters. It is bizarre to see people's labour going in vein without compensation.
About who is going to take the deposits ? Answer is mod or administrators or trusted hero and legendary members.

About making hussling for bounty campaign... You can't know the particular one that won't scam. For example there are some many bounties on now, I will put out 3 links for you or someone else to tell about their legitimacy to distribute to hunters and be listed too. Here they are :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231657.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230935.msg53977130#msg53977130

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228746

So how many among the three are sincere to distribute and listed?

[Mulann2]

As long as project is genuine whether it pays before or after the campaign is fine, or even decided to pay some months later, it could be an advantage to the hunters because by then the project must of have gain some values,
Only that sometimes some project team would want to cheat bounty hunters so is the need to have the payment available up front, but many team will not agree to this.

[Vishnu.Reang]

This suggestion was made many times before and every time, the proposal was rejected. Some of the users argue that such conditions may result in good projects not getting realized. I disagree with them, but then I don't have any power regarding it. I feel bad for all the bounty hunters, who get dejected and disappointed, despite all that hard work, time and effort they put in. But that it how the things work.

[valuater]

actually only requires escrow, no need to pay a sum of funds, it's just that escrow isn't as easy as imagined because I'm sure many bounties won't do this because it's a bit troublesome and it seems like our way to avoid scams is to do our own research and choose a person bounty manager who can be trusted and not carelessly in taking a project that wants to run a bounty with their services.

[noorman0]

Using Escrow is great but there is no need to pay service fees. All the hunter needs is an experienced and trusted third-party manager with a bounty fund deposited with them will make the participants calm and confident that their work will produce. In addition, using third-party management services will broaden the reach of marketing and increase investor appeal which can even come from bounty participants.

[MUG1WARA]

I have often read complaints and opinions from several members here but until now this method has been ignored, maybe the moderator did not approve of it but for escrow services I saw several projects doing it

[pixie85]

The forum will not do it for you and theymos will not moderate bounties or demand to be paid for announcements or campaigns that people want to run on the forum.

This should be your responsibility as a bounty hunter to do research and tell others about scams. The community should go hard on developers who don't pay their employees and that's who you are as a bounty hunter. You're doing a job for them and should be paid for it.
