Bounties managed by team themselves

[btc_angela]

I'm not here to discourage you about bounty campaigns that are managed by the project team themselves, I'm here to tell you that you need to be extremely cautious, I've noticed that team managing campaigns themselves is not good

1. They have all the freedom of doing any how with your rewards

2. They can change certain rules that aren't reasonable, just because it's their project and they are handling the distribution they are free to do some bad things

3. Bounty Managers are very very important, you can get them nailed for not facing the team to force them to do distribution but you can't fight the team yourself

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees things this way, or am I?

Doesn't matter though,

1. Even if they hire a bounty manager, they can still do anything on how the rewards will be distributed.

2. Again, the same argument, they simply tell the manager that rules have change, and in turn, bounty managers can either decline to follow it, (then they are going to be kick out) or follow what the project wants

3. Bounty managers can just put a disclaimer in the beginning that they are not responsible if the project delay or don't do distribution on time. They are just the facilitator.

There is no difference here, if the team cheat bounty hunters their btt account will get red trust just as if any bounty manager cheat hunters too, some times even team do better job than bounty managers and they pay bounty hunters just as promised

[ttcsalam]

Bounty managers enjoy this freedom.But I would say it should have rules.Many bounty managers accept Hunter's payments themselves.They have nothing to do next.The Hunters receive no reward for their suffering.That's why I say bounty managers need to be honest.

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a bounty manager is that they already have access to a huge community build around them and whenever they hire that bounty manager they will instantly get access to that community.

Before a bounty manager can accept a job he must make sure he accept all conditions from the team, the bounty manager must follow exactly what the team want but let's take away the job from the bounty manager for a minute, if the team are to take over the bounty campaign won't they implement the same rules they give the bounty manager? Who so ever take the job, either BM or the team, all risks will still be available

Yes, if they hire a reputable manager in this market, they will surely receive a huge support community from them, if the project is budget-saving, they can manage themselves

Depending on those projects, I've seen many successful bounty managed by the team. Like the OKS campaign I'm participating in, they successfully managed the first round and immediately distributed it to the participants in just 14 days.

That's right. I also participated in the second round and hope to get the best from the OKS team. Acutally, it's only depend on the team or BM who are honest or not on their works. Sometimes, some BM create so many accounts because multiple accounts are allowed in the forum and run more bounties without any research or don't care for the bounty hunters. Besides, there are some BM who always think for the bounty hunters not just for themselves. In the end, it's only depend on the honesty whoever manage the bounty.

I don't see much difference here, if the project has free time then I believe they will manage their own campaigns. As for distribution, I think it is completely project-dependent, managing bounty cannot influence their decisions either.

I think not all the project managed by the team are failed,there are some successful project that managed only by the team themselves. But i also encounter and experienced joining a project managed by the team and after two years still no update regarding the progress of the project but sometimes they become visible in the community to give some hope but i don't think this project will become visible in the market..still hoping.

I agree with you, bounty manager are important for manage there bounty, almost every own team managing bounty not distributed or scam i see this in my whole bounty life because if project team is fake then hunter are don’t know that hunter are don’t know which project good or which project scam, so i think bounty manager definitely important..

I think you are misunderstanding about what has already talked above and it's about when the people from the team manage the bounty and it will much more dangerous compared with when it was managed by the bounty service. They didn't hire because the guy from their team was managing the bounty.

[Doranile432]

It's dangerous to promote projects that's been managed by team themselves, they can break their rules themselves, we noticed something like this with first round of Oikos bounty where the manager almost ruin everything, few members almost create a scam accusation about the project before the CEO fixed things himself

Yes, that’s the advantage of hiring a bounty manager coming from the forum especially if the one that been hired is already have huge community. I think it will not only help to boost the community about the project not only in the forum but in the other platform like telegram, twitter and medium. I’m sure that those bounty participants will easily make their minds to join if they know that they could trust them but all in all there still risk in the side of bounty hunters and investors. Every project could be scam not just for the beginning but also even they already launch and been launch for a long time.

[husencoe]

not everything is like that, there are also paid managers who manage their own campaigns to be trusted, but we analyze all of them first if the rules are too complicated we better find other gift projects that are easy and trustworthy.

[trauchot]

There is such a thing, I often saw it by myself, but unfortunately we can’t do anything about it, because we decide whether to participate in bounty companies or not, therefore, we need to make our own choices so we will not regret in our choice, so think over your decisions several times to choose the right one.

Not all bounties can be successful, it all depends on the project, it is not the bounty manager, the bounty manager only manages the marketing, if there are many bounty hunters who blame the bounty manager, it is clearly wrong.

[robelneo]

Let me break it down

1. They have all the freedom of doing any how with your rewards

Most of the bounty campaigns have stipulated that they can change the rules anytime regardless on whose handling the campaign independent or part of their team

2. They can change certain rules that aren't reasonable, just because it's their project and they are handling the distribution they are free to do some bad things

Yes they can do that but there will be pressure coming from bounty hunters we have the scam section and the altcoin section to prove that

3. Bounty Managers are very very important, you can get them nailed for not facing the team to force them to do distribution but you can't fight the team yourself

I've seen so many projects doing that and it's not only the bounty hunters they are hurting but their reputation as well the recent one was Oikos they are forced to give in to the request of bounty hunters because they have an IEO to protect.

[minairia3]

You cant force a new project not to handle their own campaign. Some team wanted to do their own and not hired external managers to save fees and also to control the budget and plan for distribution. Only few projects doing this, but sometime we can see some that turns out to be good. But I prefer a reputable manager that handle it. My signature campaign is handled by own team, but they are very professional and works like experienced campaign manager. It takes time to be efficient on doing management its just pure honesty and dedication.

[Dr.Osh]

even if with another bounty manager, that can still happen as long as the team holds the coin. such a thing will not happen when the team uses escrow to store coins for bounty hunters. Well, it's just that experienced bounty managers are more trusted than their own team who become bounty hunters.

[killerfrost]

Success or failure depends entirely on the project. Bounty manager is just a hired employee and helps project management campaign. I personally only evaluate and select bounty according to the quality of the project, I'm not too concerned about the campaign manager.
