Do not participate in non reputed bounty managers campaign

[DDante]

You are right, bounty managers with good reputations hardly introduce scam projects, there is different between a failed project and a project that turned scam, few projects from arteezy that failed to pay till date aren't scam but failed due to lack of enough fund. Popular bounty managers are better

I think the best one is bubblealex, arteezy and bounty detective, especially the last cause he has too many projects active.

But this is totally wrong. Quantity doesnt mean quality. Bounty detective still have lots of issues with feeling spreadsheets. Proof - check any campaign Complaint Form and see that some issues are not solved for weeks. While, for example, bubbalex solves everything in 1-2 days.

Question to Little Mouse - how can a manager get reputation, when no one participates in his bounty?
Or you think that BM should get a reputation on the forum (trust system?) and only then manage campaign? Agree with it.

Good point, every bounty managers works gradually to achieve good reputation, it's not always easy and it's not something you can built without been a bounty manager, bounty detective still have some work to do, mistakes to fix, payments are guaranteed and that's the only good thing they did well, bubbalex can't be compared with bounty detective but with time they will get better

[trauchot]

Indeed, many bounty managers are associated with fraudsters and specifically create bounty companies here so that we promote their fictitious companies and they make money from it, so we should always study all the bounty companies in which we want to participate and of course we need to pay attention to the bounty managers too.

They should be active in the forum, know forum basics, established themselves as a good reputed or well recognised member in the forum the way Yahoo, Hhampuz and some others did and after that they should start campaign management. Although, I have started earlier but I had not launched any altcoin bounty till now, one of the reasons is that all the bounty management jobs I got were either scam or not so impressive which is why I have denied the proposal.

[Ken_terrance]

Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects. They themselves build a website, run bounty here and scam investors money while promoters receive nothing. Kakatua is one of examples. So, it is always better to only participate in campaigns which is managed by reputed campaign managers like Yahoo, Hhampuz. Remember, it is better to join one campaign a year than hundreds in a month.

Since you mentioned Yahoo and Hhampuz then this post doesn't belong in this section, these two bounty managers are known for introducing only BTC paying campaigns, this is altcoin section, how about mentioning some well known altcoin bounty managers since you create this topic in altcoin section??

[Ken_terrance]

Bounty campaigns are unpredictable. Speaking of success, it is said that you should join bounties that are handled by a trusted managers in order for you to receive the rewards in the long run.  However there are also good profitable bounties that can be taken from not popular bounty manager but too risky to join.

I can name few bounty campaigns that I joined this year and last year that are manages by the project's team members themselves? What's your take on this? It's not always about the reputation of bounty managers, quality of the projects are important too

Bounty manager themselves can't guarantee the success of a bounty campaign but they can make it much secure for the participants. There are now a few bounty managers in the altcoin bounty section who would ask the project to escrow the funds with them and they'll be responsible to distribute the coins after the campaign. It does provide some sense of security to the participants but still don't add up any chances of reducing the scam as a good project would pay anyway while a bad one even if they paid with tokens would be useless.

This is exactly what happen to the kingcasino bounty. The bounty managers did escrowed the funds in favor of the participants. All they wanted it was to make it secure for the participants but the project themselves claimed they failed to reach their target and plans to refund the investors. This way the effort made by the bounty participants went in vain and bounty managers too failed to reward their users as the coins they hold, holds no value. A successful bounty depends on the effort of a lot of people not just bounty manager.

You might be right that kingcasino bounty manager only focus on paying bounty hunters with escrow strategy but this is something that's rare in bounties today, most projects pay bounty hunters themselves not BM but bounty detective is better in this part

I totally agree with you, just participating in the best campaigns from reputable managers is enough. Do not waste time with ambiguous campaigns and managed by new people

[mezzaluna]

This is actually a risk to a lot of users here in the forum. Everybody is excited to join bounties with easy campaign instructions and big rewards but we need to do our part to verify if the campaign is actually legitimate and would really be fruitful at the end. We need to be mindful of new campaign managers because some might be starting their career by managing bounties and some are just actually trolling and scamming other users. That is why some posts are really helpful and interactive campaign managers are really helpful because of the fact that they dont want to have their credibility damaged.

[Genemind]

There will always be an exception, having a new bounty manager in a campaign doesn't necessarily show a red flag. There are some campaigns that have a new campaign manager that had been honest with their job. However, we cannot remove the risk of having a new manager who has an ulterior motive on scamming participants. Joining trusted campaign managers put participants at ease and lessens the risk of not receiving a reward in a campaign.

Just choose and join campaigns at your own risk, and never join out of FOMO and just because it is managed by a certain manager.

[wywoc]

How about in the altcoin section? Whose manager you trusted for an altcoin campaign. Of course those managers you mentioned are in btc paid campaign, and some here prefer an altcoin campaign projects cause mostly what they handled are only signature campaign. Unlike in altcoin there are social and also some blog related promotions.

I think the best one is bubblealex, arteezy and bounty detective, especially the last cause he has too many projects active.

I remembered BD have many failed projects when they started, but now seem like they have many good projects for hunters. Arteezy was most active last year, but seem like quite recently. So this time we see almost bounties in altcoins section come from BD 
In my opinion some other projects they run the bounty program themselves,so if it is okay, we can take a look.

Sometimes they still manage the campaigns of new projects if they are good projects. I still remember the TEMTUM campaign that hhampz managed, which was the most successful campaign in 2019 and helped many people get the money.

[thesmallgod]

Except the newbie and Jr members, I believe old members know this but many bounty hunters take the risk to participate in bounty that are managed by any bounty managers including the one handled by the dev team themselves. This is because those reputable managers you mentioned are less given bounty to managed probably due to their requirements but more safer to join their campaign than random bounty managers

[killerfrost]

Bounty has a lot of risks, so no one can guarantee the success of bounty and the project. It all depends on the luck of each person and if you have experience and luck then I believe you will find good campaigns and make money from it.

I am not sure about Hhampuz, but yahoo62278 has managed several altcoin campaigns in the past. When I participated in the MOZO bounty campaign, he was the campaign manager. And I should say that he did an exceptional job with that bounty. I don't know whether he do altcoin bounties anymore, but it is wrong to say that we should not talk about him here in this thread.

Sometimes a reputed manager is an indication of a good campaign but not all, thats why we need to do our part as a bounty hunter by conducting a research so we have our own understanding about the project. Its an edge to participate only in bounties with a reputed manager but its not an assurance so we need to manage our expectation.

I admire these bounty hunters but the bounty campaign seldom hires our forum's trusted managers they prefer that their own bounty campaign is managed by one of their team, among bounty manager in the altcoins campaign only Bubbalex has a good rating, the campaign manager Bounty Detective was fooled by one project who turned to be a scam project which is King Casino.
