Enough of bounty scam, you can help to stop it too.

[ethereumhunter]

There is nothing to stop in bounty haven, scammers are everywhere and what we have left is research but there is more that meet the eye, either quality projects or not there is no certainty, bounties are full of risks, just do your best and pray for better luck

you're right, we can only reduce it. however, they will continue to try to make new things as real, but that is all a fraud. even some people make the project a scam at the end of the project.

Yes, it is true. It is tough to stop even if we try to reduce, and they still try to create another project because that is what we see from time to time. If we don't support the project, then they cannot get anything at all from us. But the problem is many of us need money, and they will try to search in many ways, including supporting the fake project because they didn't know if that project will be a scam or not in the future. It is a dilemmatic for every people, but we can try to prevent them.

I think the price of cryptocurrency goes up and down according to market demand or like a bubble, and is currently rising to the top.

Set aside that bubble discussion as it's not true, if it's a bubble, bitcoin would have no recovered after it was dump last 2018.
Bitcoin is volatile, that's it and it's the only market where we can witness a huge pump and dump.

and will probably reach its peak in 2021 and then fall again.
it is natural because market conditions vary every year and will never be stable.

What would happen in 2021 depends on this year, if this year we will able to win against the covid, then let's expect that 2021 is going to be a good year

Miracletele and bcnex looks so real that I nearly invest on the projects but what happened in the end? Thy turned scam, but it's good that bounty hunters get paid, only those who decide to hold get fully rekt, I will never hold tokens from bounties no matter how good the projects are, I've learn enough lessons

I also seen they hype on this project Miracle Tele. I pity those who believe but I cant blame them. The platform is working good and paying their investors until that time CEO shows his true color and exited this project.

On the other hand, I know Bcnex has a pretty good start also but due to their massive marketing I feel that the management loss funds for their operation. Better sell right away any tokens came from bounty to avoid such dissapointement.

When it comes to choosing a bounty, we have to do a number of studies so that we can learn a little about the project, when scams occur at the end, don't be discouraged because we have tried to match our abilities.

This is an ongoing issue for the last two or three years now. We sit and discuss and no one acts according to the discussion here. I personally think we individually need to be more vigilant and careful while joining a bounty program as we are responsible for our own work.

Very true, each of us must be responsible for the bounty program that we join, because other people will not care for us when we have problems with the bounty program that we join, so we ourselves are fully responsible for the actions we do here.

This is what we must do for us not to click the bait of this scam is we need to be more cautious of those project before joining. There's always a reminder that scam really do exist and continues these days. Our only prevention is never joined without assessing a project.

In fact there are still many "starving people"^{greedy hunter}, and "starving people" don't care about how the "food nutrition"^{quality of project} they consume or how it will affect their "health"^reputation. Even if it is "poison"^scam, they will still try to fill their "stomach"^wallet and invite their "children"^alts to enjoy the "foods". They just wait for each other to realize that something is wrong. Or waiting for a "medical person"^{scam buster} to come that they have eaten the "poison" and "p**p"^{fake ad} they disposed of "killing"^harmful others.

[totoy4741]

Those mentioned details above are exactly what I have experience since I have joined bounty since 2018. But not most them were scams, there are some bounty managers that are not doing their jobs properly during the run of the bounty and would eventually do their job when the bounty campaign is about to end or BM is holding numerous number bounty campaigns and is not able to catch his/her works due to load management. But yeah it is informative and now new hunters have guidelines on how they would be able to avoid possible scam projects with this informations

At the moment, we should prioritize projects that will implement IEO in medium and large exchanges. Do not waste time with ICO projects because they will certainly not be able to succeed in this market

[bp124]

Some of these rules will be followed, but it will surprise you the bounty will turn out to be scam. But there are some red flags that you should avoid, like if the bounty manager says he or she doesn't hear from the team members.

[Argoo]

You can also immidialtly know if the bounty campaign is scammers if they don't have team transparency because this is important to gain trust for potential investors. And always search if they are legitimate and not a impostor, and also ypu can also know if the project is scam on thier product or idea of this will really help thier crypto currency to become more popular.

In the last few branches of the ICO bounty, the size of the reward pool allocated in their new tokens is not directly indicated. It just says that a lot of tokens are allocated. If such an important point is ignored, then this may indicate a fraudulent intention of the team.

When the bounty manager says he doesn't hear anything from the team behind the project it's already too late, team is gone with all the money they collected in private sales. I think the only way to be protected from bounty scams is to make a good research about the project and the team, and if you see anything suspicious just turn around and run away!
I had luck with past few bounties I participated in, I hope that I will be satisfied with this one too, everything looks fine until now.

[Ryushin]

I don't judge bounty project based on how the bounty manager handled the campaign, most times the blame is on BM for his or her inexperience, profits can be make out of any bounties no matter how ugly they may look

[Slingshot]

Thank you so much for this amazing and insightful posts. It's absolutely right, I could vividly remember many that promised and failed. Most will tell hunters to do different kinds of kyc just to delay payment and after doing they would also bring up another discussion before you could know, there won't be admin to answer questions anymore. Another way if getting then is also when bounty allocation us very huge. They do this to get attention of hunters because reward looks enticing. So many thing to look into. Thank you much for this post.

[Alexmagn84]

You are absolutely right Because scam project team with their support activity is to low so their no need for bounty. Scam project never follow bounty Because their everytime target get money and by by market. Even many professional manager can said first time IT'S project trust or fake but some manager never want it and their want money so scam or fake IT'S no need follow.           

[tanjiran]

This is a serious matter in crypto as we have worked and washed plate for many projects and this is the best time one has to shine his or her eyes, thank you for this words, it's an eye opener and I have learnt alot through this teaching and will ensure I check properly before doing any bounty from now henceforth 

Thus, we must be able to take many lessons from some of the bounty failures that we have followed. Bounty manager is not a guarantee that the project is successful, only if the good performance, friendly, and communicative will make us comfortable to work together, right? the rest depends on how the development team is truly committed to developing the project.

TS gives pretty good advice. Although this is all pretty hard to predict, even projects that seem doubtful turn out to be successful in the future. So don't give up, keep trying and do your best analysis.

[nomenclatur]

I prefer to post this here on this section because this is where it actually originates from. This is where the bounty scammers come to catch their "prey"- hunters.

Therefore, I have observed that since 2018, after the 2017 crypto bull , almost all bounty have been failing. After months of running bounty, some that manage to get to the exchange are dead on arrival with less than a dollar worth of 20,000 unit (or more unit) of shit distribution to hunters.

Consequently , with my little time here and as far as I have noticed, their are certain signs that seem like a no go area if we really want to participate in a fairly good bounty that we can also benefit from our labour, time and data.

These signs for me are :
1. When the thread is filled with grammatical and typographical errors.

2. When the task in the different or any of the allocated bounties are not defined. For example, how many facebook shares / posts are not defined and then you are left with asking from the shit BM. This is definitely and certainly a red light.

3. When the task is limitless. For example, no limit to shares/post.

4. When the task is too much. For example, 10 shares  

5. When the requirements to get your reward is complicated. For example, you can be asked to sign up and provide referral number or code  

6. When the process for reward isn't proper. For example, you notice you will be asked to watch a video to know how to provide wallet address or downlines  

7. When spreadsheet isn't updated weekly.... Just run  

8. When weekly dates are not seen either on the thread or spreadsheet.

9. When you see only week 1 , week 2, week 3 etc just on spreadsheet without date.

10. When complaints on telegram isn't responded to promptly and you are not satisfied when you get response.

11. You don't need to continue if you notice you have been deleted from telegram and you know you have been asking legitimate questions to understand things not clear to you about the bounty.... Run run fast  

12. When it is not handled by a reputable account as BM.

13. When there is no ANN at the beginning or it is provided later in the bounty maybe because someone is consistently requesting for it.

These are some signs I can remember and I know they are negative signs for you not to be paid after you do your part most times.

*** These signs are ; apart from whitepaper typographical mistakes and plagiarism  

If we go with these signs and not sign up with a bounty you suspect could be scam, then the bounty will have less participants and with time, we can clear these scamming bounties out from this forum.

Each one tell all. You don't need to join suspected scam bounty.

I hope this thread will help bounty hunters.

The above points do you say I've experienced when I joined bm bounty is not too good and did not seem to respond when it will give a message or criticism of something very important not respond at all I'd prefer to leave the bounty of looking the other bounty are better.

[EbriDan]

Wow, thanks for the long list its really helpful since I just started bounty and I try to screen out the bad ones

[SistaFista]

There are too many scam campaigns nowadays, we cannot blindly participating on any campaigns.
We better to take our time much longer for observing than getting nothing at the end of the campaign because scam.
