BOUNTY PAYMENT MATTERS

[Mpamaegbu]

About making hussling for bounty campaign...You can't know the particular one that won't scam. For

This is apt! No one truly can say of a certainty what bounty would pay at the end. Bounty hunting is a game of chance and high risk. Beyond this, I think managers of bounties here are now putting measures in place to ensure projects don't deny hunters their reward by putting escrow in place. Though a few are still footdragging on it because they don't want to appear harsh to contracts coming their way and risk losing it. I think it will advance this stage with time. But BMs need to sit up and be honest to hunters.

LOL... this has been posted here dozens of times before, without any response from the ICO promoters and bounty campaign managers. They can afford to ignore such demands, because they know that even if they do that, they will get large number of bounty hinters joining the campaigns. I have said this many times... the problem is that we don't have unity. We need to boycott all the bounty campaigns, until the terms and conditions get better.

Escrow is a good idea, but the project are not going to do it as there are few Bounty campaigns today, so the hunters have no options than participate in all good campaigns no matter they have escrow or no.

it is very rare to find bounties that use escrow services, and for projects like that, then most likely the payment is to use ethereum, or bitcoin. Well, the only good thing is paying the bounty hunter with coins that are already on the market, or using USDT. it's just that new projects require users who are trying to use their tokens, so I think it's very rare to find such a project.

Sometimes I see a few projects like your description, but their budget is very low and not worthy of our work. And for new projects, I think they should save that money to develop their projects. They don't need to waste money promoting a project while their project is just getting started and doesn't have any products yet.

Very good suggestion. Its very sorrowful when payment is refused after a successful campaig. Admin may consider yhe matter.

That's a great idea, but many projects are not backed by big companies, so they lack money at the beginning and that's the problem, I think that's the main dilemma people faced as a bounty hunter. Using escrow is not a solution, if they using the token or coin they develop, not fiat money or bitcoin since the token/coin itself is not valuable at the beginning of the project started

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.

How to promote a project, this is creative idea. This forum or bounty manager can't force with it how to do. This process only depends on project types and devs satisfaction. Payment security! Please visit "Geoma DAO" project and bounty payment methods. This problem can be solve by bounty manager ( by escrow) as did julerz12 for bounty hunters, forum is not for do it.

I have already suggested this type of options as in 2019 there were many successful projects but they refuse to pay the bounties the first option is If BTT can help us and then it is excellent. The 2nd option is one Hero member make o Telegram channel and add almost all bounty hunters and whenever any successful project doesn't pay then we all take legal steps against that project through social media.

How a hero user can take legal steps aganist unpaid bounty projects? If any project deceived in bounty payment, nothing possible to take action through social platforms. Scam accusation can help to discuss or negotiate which project owner otherwise i see no another effective way can deal in these issue. I prefer in first option.

Are bounty campaigns still relevant? Earlier, I read that now making money on this is almost impossible.

It's a good idea to protect payments for bounty hunters, but unfortunately it won't protect against scam projects. In the future, this is probably how bounty will work.

There will be no way to combat scam projects in this market. The scam projects are becoming more dangerous than before, we never know when they will become scams. It is best to research and select projects based on your own experience

[Chuky92]

It is a good idea and suggestion as well but the chances of that happening will still be the problem, remember it is the project team that will decide if they will go with escrow or not. Also, there is every possiblity that even though the project team deposit the bounty payments with the bounty manager as the case maybe, the token might still end up worthless at the end.
This issue of bounty payments, I see it as a matter of reputation, if a project team is genuine and have integrity, bounty payments shouldn't be a problem, once the time reach, they just pay. I hope a lasting solution can be choosen, maybe starting with the escrow holding the payment will be a good start, hopefully the token will end up good.

Bounty payment really matters alot to bounty hunter because after long weeks of work and waiting every bounty hunter want to be paid for there work.Some campaigns never paid hunter even after a successful bounty campaign which helps attract many investors to their project.Hunters uaually become frusterated when not pay for their work.I think hunters deceive to be paid for thier work and payment really matters.

I have to agree with this. Let the Bounty Manager handle the job of checking, other bounty stuff then a certain person or group of trusted person from the Bitcointalk Admins should handle the Allocated rewards for bounty hunter so that bounty hunters are rest assured that they will get what they work for.

but it will be ignored by the moderator, there have been many posts like this before. Anyone is free to run a bounty here at no cost, now back to themselves in conducting research

it would be very nice if like that. several projects have already implemented it. if this is applied thoroughly, then fraud can be suppressed. so far, not many bounty projects use escrow. sometimes they use escrow only when paying using bitcoin or ethereum

We can look at Geoma DAO project where the Bounty manager already holds number of tokens for Bounty participants, And I like this model, Bounty Hunter will still get their tokens after Bounty ends. Hopefully in the future there will be more projects that will directly provide their escrow tokens to the bounty manager.

[Emilyearl]

What currency do you propose the the forum admins ask from bounty projects? I think bounty managers should have a forum here whereby they make a uniform rule concerning bounty rewards. If there's no uniform agreement binding rewards, some managers will never escrow payments. If there's a laid down rule guiding bounty on the forum then this can be possible but if its a freelance work, everyone will work depending on their own terms and condition.

I hear some project developer call it  "free coins"   when bounty hunters are done promoting thier projects. These are people who bought phones or laptop as the case may be and bought data with their money, spent their time to promote your projects with terms of payments. But when it's time to pay, team in conjunction with bm will start seeing the reward as free coins. Forgetting they hire those guys and needed to they  them according to what you agreed for bounty hunters.

[Bobby park]

This is a good suggestion! Maybe we should give importance all bounty hunters because they are really helped campaign to promote their projects. Not only because bounty pool have a small percentage of total allocation, the bounty hunters are useless. I think this is a good idea to require incoming new projects to give an advance fund before entering here in this forum to secure bounty hunters privilege to earn their rewards for hardworking if Incase the project or campaign are scam.

This is main point most of bounties going here without any escrow or any security and bounty managers just keeping their own salary some managers try to have relative coins or tokens but these are also not good enough as most of time they fall like crap so better just do own search and then try to participate in any bounty.
