Bounty Managers and Shit projects

[joshua123]

I want to know if there are some levels of punishment for bounty managers that manage unworthy projects apart from negative trust?

The most punishment is if they are proven to endorsed projects that are purely scam one. Best example of this is kakatua who have been handling campaigns that are scam. Ive seen his post on hitmex which unfortunately Ive joined then, based on his report the project doesnt pay and his the manager of that project. See how irresponsible he is for working on a campaign that he didnt sure if gonna compensate the hunters work. I see also many negative trust on his profile. So I guess he deserved it.

I think the bounty manager is only in charge of managing the bounty campaign and they never know the exact project that is being done or the product produced. Regarding whether the project is good or not, the bounty manager or investor always looks at the whitepaper and I think if the bounty hunter feels cheated, the bounty manager in my opinion also experiences the same thing unless they are paid in cash or bitcoin or ethereum

The bounty manager to manage the campaign is always paid in advance with bitcoin or ethereum according to the agreement, but for the hunters and investors it depends on the quality of the project and if there is an end they fail at the end then the project that will be responsible will return investors' funds except the bounties who have promoted nothing.

The manager only manages the rest of the developers who do all of the above projects.

I bet a huge % as long as they get paid in btc and not shitcurrency they will do it. Sadly such projects aren't minded by many and trying to critisize the managers can even get you in trouble as i experienced, I will admit i weren't very gentle either.

Bounty managers who already have a reputation, in my opinion would prefer payment in the form of Bitcoin or US Dollar. This will reduce their risk if the managed project turns out to be a scam.

Even many reputable bounty managers from the past cannot ensure the bounty is good or not nowadays.
When we participating in bounty campaign, we must not rely on the manager only but our research too.
If we find the project is good to join, we won't waste our time by joining a good campaign.

It's no more news that many of us would have had some horrible experiences participating in some resources wasting projects. However, my opinion is that, do bounty managers just accept hook line and sinker to manage bounty campaigns for any project without taking some time to look at the prospects of such project?  

I think there should be some experienced members of this forum apart from moderators (because moderators' works might be too enormous) that should be in charge of reviewing projects before bounty managers are allowed to create bounty and/or announcement threads for such projects.  If this can be done effectively, I think the advent of these unworthy projects can be mitigated.

To wrap it up, a bounty manager once told me when I called his attention to some unrealistic plans of the project he was managing, he said he is not concerned about the success of the project, once he gets his weekly payment from the team. I want to know if there are some levels of punishment for bounty managers that manage unworthy projects apart from negative trust?

Bounty managers are just the one who manages the entire run of the campaign project which is to ensure that the participants are doing their parts or share for the promotion of the project they have engaged with. Bounty managers are just people too working for the sake of income and since managing a bounty is a job related to earn cryptocurrency, they just tend to accept the job to earn for income. Also, no one knows what will be the future or ending of any project because upon the release, all projects seems to be attractive because it is a part of strategical marketing to be able to attract potential investors. Bounty manager cannot be blamed for this but the people behind the project itself because the job of the bounty manager is to manage the campaign and to ensure that the thread is doing well for new participants or for those who wanted to take part on it. We participants do need to do our own research about the certain project ourselves because we will be the one who will be benefiting or suffering at the end of the bounty. They are just doing their job based on the agreement they have in part of the people behind the project so we must not put the total blame on them for they are just accepting the work they have been entrusted with.

Honestly if you look at some project and their overall claim on blockchain, you would would know some bm just accept anything that comes their way regardless what they offer, this mostly common with lower members bm's, most of them just accept any project as long as they are going to get paid even if the project is shity, shady or can probably be a scam.
The reason why higher rank members campaign is more better because majority try to do background check before accepting a campaign.

Every bounty hunters need to stand up for themselves, there was a time in crypto space when you can just join any bounty project for good rewards but now it's a different game entirely, many projects comes around to entice hunters with their unrealistic use cases, to say the fact, not all use cases will survive on blockchain

[magnum cyber]

I don't know much about the level of penalties for gift managers who promote bad projects, that participating in reward programs is sometimes beneficial and vice versa, this is the risk. but related to this I think, only we personally can prevent it by avoiding, checking in detail and it is important not to expect too much from the results of the current prize program.

Moderators are responsible for the well being of bitcointalk forum not bounties, new projects create ANN on here and of cos find promoters to promote their new projects, the choice yours to make, you will be the one to decide if the project is good enough and worth your time

Loyal bounty campaign managers are not willing to conducted random or shit/garbage projects. I know them who's managers always going for legit projects. They’re not greedy for some money to conduct possibly scummy bounties. Rejecting a lot of projects and conducted which one looking trustworthy in their analyze. Mangers nothing do for any kind of failed projects. You can get worthy projects in reputed managers.

There are a number of very good bounty campaign managers here. But once in a while they also become victim of the scam projects. There is no ICO with a 100% guarantee. So the bounty campaign manager, along with the investors and the bounty hunters need to take a certain amount of risk. But from what I have seen, these managers get a lot of unfair criticism if the project fails.

Smart managers understand that it is their reputation that their ability to earn over a long distance will depend on.
After all, once a stained reputation is almost impossible to wash.

Unfortunately, many bounty hunters neglect their own reputation, which ultimately leads to the loss of the opportunity to participate in bounty companies.

I don't think even the best of campaign manager does an intensive research about some project before tolerating to have a bounty campaign for them. There are instances of acceptable managers turning down by and large scams and there are likewise instances of alleged outstanding amongst other campaign manager annihilating their vocation for advancing scam projects. Some time ago moderator gave pretty much everything about managers for advancing scams but on the other hand it's hard for the managers and everybody to perceive ones

[Inosend]

Have been into crypto for a very long time now and 95% of them are shit and scam projects, but have also witnessed super projects such as atomic matic and alot more.

Negative trust from DT has included severe penalties, educated bounty hunters will definitely consider repeatedly to join campaigns handled by BM with a bad reputation. But we need to understand that BM cannot be blamed completely with project failure, many factors must be considered because most BMs are not part of the developer.
The risk for bounty hunters is to get caught up in scams and drama. BM with a good reputation will also prefer to refuse suspicious project collaboration in order to maintain its good name.

I have participated in so many projects and until now they have not been paid for ... almost the average project is now a scam ... ??  whether the bounty manager is wrong in doing research on the project that they take care of before they make a bounty ... I think before making a bounty, the bounty manager should ask for a guarantee or payment for their bounty first ...because the project is now mostly scam ... at the end of the hunter who will lose trust and be labeled negative trust ... this is a very bad thing for hunters ..

indeed they will pay the bounty campaign participants but you must know that the exchange value must be high because if you are distributed tokens but the exchange value is not high and do not get support from the developer will be disappointed because the results you get will be very little.

[LbtalkL]

Bounty managers are responsible for the bounties that they manage if it turns out a scam. Of course, the team also. But the managers are the bridge of this projects spreading in different social media just to scam. That is why there are managers that are being tagged here because they only care about payments without verifying the projects first and the bounty hunters and investors are the victims here. But managers are not perfect they cannot determine each project's legitimacy but there are some good managers to follow like Hhampuz and yahoo62278.

I think it is difficult to find a project that has a high value in the market, at the moment the average prize yields get a little unless you follow the payment in USD or Ehterium and BTC then the value has been determined, only to follow must meet the rules that I feel not everyone can

Lol what other punishment do you expect than just giving them a negative rating? I don’t really think there’s any other punishment that can be given to them apart from being bombarded with negative ratings on their profile so that in the future people will avoid any project that they are promoting.

But, as a hunter you also have your roll to play which is being careful and avoiding bad projects so that you don’t end up regretting later. You shouldn’t always be expecting the managers to do the jobs. The same way you sometimes you think those projects are good are the same way those managers also think it is, and at the end they are disappointed. So, you gotta be careful yourself.
