Do not participate in non reputed bounty managers campaign

[target]

If they promoted the project even when its obviously a scam project, it will only look like the bounty manager conspire together wit the team. I have joined several bounty campaigns in the past where I wasn't paid too. A learned lesson that I have to read the project to make sure the team had thought it through. And it's possible for the project to succeed, it not then its going to be a scam project.

Take a look at the project's website and see if they too load of money to come up with it and does it have good technical details and github because it tells signs of a scam.

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.

I'd say this is true if you are Yahoo or Hhampuz himself, but coming from a mere member on this forum? I will definitely say you have no idea, I'm sure Yahoo and Hhampuz make mistakes too, no one is perfect and as good as this bounty managers are today was based on how many mistakes they made in the past, they can't be this good without mistakes

Most of the btc paying campaigns here are legit. And if it is handled by those mentioned BMs, you know for sure you are safe. Sometimes they will pay their participants from their own pocket, if something goes wrong. But if you visit the alt bounties, you have very small chance you will be paid by valuable token. Because even if you get paid by their tokens, you have no guarantee that they will be worth trading for, if in case they will be listed in exchanges. So yes, it is better to join in a campaign handled by reputable BM. While waiting for the right time, you can roam around the forum and learn many things from all facets of crypto.

That dude Kakatua is a complete scammer, all campaigns managed by him had never paid hunters. The managers you mentioned are mostly btc signature paying ones, how about altcoin bounties. Reputable managers there are buballex, detective, julerz and sometimes the project manager too.
D Community project campaigns with there manager but was paid at end. Nice advise, it's better to participate in one campaign than thousand in a month.

success of marketing campaign and spending on it does not mean that the project is real and not a fraud.
much fraudulent projects were managed by well-known members and fraud was not identified until after it occurred.
promotion campaigns are not incicator for scam or not.
the length or shortness of the campaign depends on the quality of the posts and the price.

Op you said well. That is why reputed members don't get a project but a newly created account launch campaign in his first post. It's really a miracle. They will not stop. They don't care about their reputation also don't care about people's money. Actually They became addicted to stealing money. If you vanish the current project by tagging them they will come with other new projects and accounts

I think I have participated in kakatua managed bounty once, the horrible experience I had then even made me to forget that the name ever existed.  Kakatua creates bounties to scam and populate their social media.  In a couple of years, I have also had trust in some bounty managers who have handled real and good paying projects, even if some projects team fumbles, it's still very few compared to the list of successful projects they have handled.

The managers who just think about themselves and not for the bounty participants shouldn't become the mangers and also the managers that always want to scam other people for mere change are also untrustworthy and should be banned on the forum. I guess the people with a positive trust history should only be allowed to manage campaigns, either a bounty Campaign or bitcoins paying signature Campaign as it will lead to less number of people scamming and also spamming on the forum, also the quality of participants will also improve.

Sometimes reputed bounty managers do bring scam projects for bounty hunters to promote, it seems you don't know that scam projects have grades, some scam projects are hard to detect even if the team are real, there are many examples of this types of scam projects that looks so genuine and legit.

I agree it doesn't matter how many campaigns you join if they are scam you just wasted your time so why not join the trusted and legit campaigns.
Don't be blinded by greed and waste your effort on promoting scam if you couldn't find a good project then it is better not to join at all.

This is funny because Little Mouse is also a campaign manager so I think he/she knows it too well.

[kaneki007]

Kakatua is a complete scammer and I'm glad he got what he deserved, he intentionally build projects himself and still becomes the bounty manager for the project to fool bounty hunters and also all his projects are complete nonsense. But how about new bounty managers? They won't have a chance if no one join their Campaigns don't you think?

Difficult choice because since many cases new bounty managers have a bad reputation it might be difficult for new managers to build their reputation and lose out in competition with others. Well, the parrot is one of the scammers and cheaters who uses a lot of altcoin for their own interests and most of the projects he handles are also scams.

It's so true! Reputed or trusted bounty managers can't guarantee the quality of the project. They are just like us. They're hired to do the job. It's hard for them to know whether the project will be a scam or not until the end. Therefore, do more research than looking at the bounty managers name. I agree that joining a campaign that managed by a reputed bounty manager brings less risk than others. However, it's not totally safe! Take your chance!

Can you name some of them here for transparency ?so People might have idea which are those?and besides how sure safer with reputable manager when they are also accused of cheating in some manners here in forum?
Some of them has multiple account that Joining signature campaign?

But i think it will be safer if you can put the names here and provide some proof as well because the more we accused without proof is the more we are just letting them do their dirty jobs.

They themselves build a website, run bounty here and scam investors money while promoters receive nothing. Kakatua is one of examples.

Nice example but i believe that Kakatua was been exposed twice right?but yeah This is something the whole forum must be aware of.

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.

Yahoo and Hhampuz is no doubt the most respected and legit manager here,well of course BestChange as well like what we are joining Both.

i would chose to be with their campaign the whole career i have here.

[isaac_clarke22]

This is why I tell some people at some threads to look at the usernames of the BM of a certain bounty thread as you can see if the BM is part of the project itself.
I'll never join in one of those campaigns being managed by someone directly from the project.

I believe there's a thread on the reputated campaign managers here in the forum aside from SMAS campaign managers, but is outdated. Hopefully someone recompiles them so people will stop feeding the promotion of these scam projects.

It is very difficult to find good bounty projects now because the situation is not as good as it used to be, and I haven't made too much money in the last two years. I think only select projects with a clear development strategy and of course, have plans to list at major exchanges because if listed there, bounty hunters can sell more easily without having to worry too much.

That's why any projects that have already listed on the exchange site have more chance to give a reliable payment for the hunters. I remember what happened with jinbi as the team was declining to pay the hunters after a very long time promotion.

[JeffBrad12]

Why not? I'll try some bounties which be operated by project itself. We have had many successful projects in the past such as AUTO, Eidoo or many others. I think the most important thing is that the quality of the project, BM is just an additional factor if you want to consider.

Somehow I agree with you, it is very important to see what the project is, the project team is real or not. What is the use of the project.etc
I think after checking these things, the Scam Bounty can be detected. If you cannot do this, then you join the bounty of reputable BM

BM plays important role if they could hold the bounty fund and acts as an escrow aswell other wise it's basically the same though some BM really good at selecting projects based on their perspective and the time they spent looking inside the project, although despite all of that the chance of a project not paying its promoter is still there, just follow your guts I guess.

[iv4n]

Reputable bounty manager is important for the projects, and can contribute a lot! Of course, it's not necessary, new managers can build their name and reputation here on forum, but the majority of people will follow reputable managers. As some people said, manager is just one factor that should be considered when you are choosing bounty, but much more important is the project itself, idea behind the project, their team and road map, and all other things that make one new projects desirable in the eyes of investors and supporters.

[Distinctin]

I'm not and in fact I am not doing bounty lately as mot of the bounty end up to be just a failure.

I don't want to call them scam as I don't have an evidence to prove that, that's too legal that it will take time to investigate and we bounty hunters are not interested on that as our main purpose is just to earn when we work for the bounty campaign.

Reputed bounty managers ensures the project is legit, but they can't ensure if the project will succeed, that's the reason I pause a bit.

[cheezcarls]

I understand your opinion man. I was having the exact same thinking as you when we are just focusing on those bounty managers that are highly-respected and with great reputation in this forum.

However, not all of them are perfect man. Like Bounty Detective’s case where he is one of the bounty managers that I truly respected, KingCasino ended up in an exit scam.

I would suggest that if these new bounty managers want to make a name of themselves, they should always include escrow to guarantee the payments to the hard-working bounty hunters.

Some of the bounty managers that I am looking up to right now here on Bitcointalk are Bounty Detective, arteezy.rtx and julerz. Just to name a few.

Why so many people admin that Bounty Detective are great and reputed ? I would say they are quite neutral or decent. The just manage lots of campaign, but I did not know any campaign under their management, that is successful. Or got listed on exchange. Can you name me one or two?

julerz - great manager, was a pleasure to be in campaign under his management (I've been in two campaigns and both of them distributed rewards).

arteezy.rtx - have no experience being in campaigns under his management.

[tiang_tower]

It's not fair to avoid bounties from new bounty managers, that's not a good way to encourage new bounty managers, if they make stupid it's normal to correct them, I don't see how this is bad, please let's encourage bounty hunters to join projects from new bounty managers, it depends on projects quality

Hunters do not have to be invited to join a new campaign project, because they have their own desires and have their own research in terms of seeing the project campaign, anyways inviting other people to participate in the project campaign also will not make us get a big profit on the project.
