Bounties managed by team themselves

[reza7777]

Yeah indeed some bounties managed by the team are sometimes unfair to participants, but i'm not saying all of them (only a few)
only projects that value the hard work of bounty hunters will pay according to the allocations specified. people avoiding such incidents usually join campaigns run by professional managers.

You are correct. Bounties managed by the project team themselves, we have to be extra cautious. One reason I see apart from the change of rules is too much delay in distribution. Having said so, there is no guarantee that we will get paid what was agreed, with bounties managed by bounty managers. " We are only managing Bounty Campaigns and are not responsible for any delay or project success. Please do your own research before joining the bounty." This statement we see in may bounties and represents no guarantee about our payment in many cases.

A normal project team has a marketing specialist with them and usually he/she assign as bounty manager. A legit project will always give value to there words. Changing of terms is always happening happened in both campaign that managed by forum bounty manager and not because at the end. The project team will decide on what will be the final say. The only thing that is good about forum bounty campaign manager is they do background check first on the project before they accept it.

And also its easy to spot a shitty campaign. Always ignore campaign that promised million dollar budget allocated because its surely a scam. If the budget is too good to be true then always avoid whoever manage it.

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

As far as I know, even if the project was handled by a popular manager, they can still change the rules anytime they want by the order of the project team/developer. It doesn't have any difference because bounty managers are just being paid to follow the instructions of how the team wants to run the bounty campaign.

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?

Yes, you are right.
However, this forum gives the team or project manager the freedom to change campaign rules on the way, even when the project is finished.
Maybe almost all projects in the general rule are written that the manager can change the campaign rules at any time when needed. This means that such a claim is meaningless. And whoever manages the project will be the same. Not necessarily the team of the project itself, other parties who manage the project will also do the same thing.

I prefer participating in in projects handle by Bounty managers than bounties handle by the team, all because bounties handel by the team is always unfair for hunters and some of them won't pay at the end of the bounties.. I don't near bounties managed by team

It is quite worrying that the project team itself manages the campaign because it can happen as you mentioned, but there are also some bad bounty managers. I will not mention them because there are too many, but indeed all are at risk and we really have the risk of not being paid in a campaign. Our own choice to determine that.

[KaratX]

It can be frustrating, team can do very well or very bad and when they decide to do bad no one can turn it back, it's very important to always follow projects that's managed by bounty managers instead of those that are managed by projects team

[tbterryboy]

Honestly I'm not ready to believe into any bounty program which is run by the team itself. Because, almost all the time I am joining into any bounty only because of reputed manager from this forum. I remember there are bounty programs which are run by some third party organisation (I'm sorry I could not recall their name right away), I just ignored all of them as they were not under a known manager from this forum. When you are depending on managers for choosing the right bounty program, I guess it is not at all making any sense to join the bounty programs which are managed by their team themselves.

I guess when they are promising about BTC/ETH payments on weekly basis and then engaging escrow for the bounty program then I believe that will be no problem for anyone to get into the bounty programs which is managed by team or newbie . When you are asking about something impossible, then I need to state what is possible for everyone.

Whatever they do these things it reflects on their character, bounty hunters are also investors or they invite their friends to invest here, if that's how they handle their campaign, then they should not be surprised if they see their projects in the scam section and it's to late to change their rules or attitude, I have seen many campaigns like that.

Now many developers become managers of their own projects somehow they do not want to pay a manager or what is clear if the team with the dedication then they will be in the specified time may only be late in a few days and it is impossible not to be paid by the hunter.

I dont know mate even the bounties run with bounty manager sometimes the payment can be delayed, postponed or never distributed. Imagine the project run by team it self, i think its not a good choice. I thinks this is a one of important bounty manager for us.

[andriyana]

I prefer the bounty thread to be managed by a paid manager bounty who already hold the coin / token of a project because payment is guaranteed so there is no reason for the team not to pay

And then that project is not listed in exchanges, and you only get useless tokens with no value? I only care about the quality of the project, if they have a good project then I believe their bounty will be the same.

[ScamViruS]

When it comes to managing a project with their own manager, they have a lot of advantages. As a result, many projects are managed by them without hiring a manager. They do not make any changes during the campaign. Changes and adds a variety of new rules when the bounty ends. I have not joined any bounty yet but I have already seen many people making various allegations against bounty managers. The projects try their best to end their campaign with the payment of as few bounty participants as possible. But this is not desirable in any way. If the project is successful, then bounty payment in the mountains is a form of fraud.

[Raflesia]

This is not entirely blamed by anyone. Sometimes the team that handles the bounty always has the right promise at the time of payment to their septas, if on the contrary they will certainly make rules with them so I think it's better with the bounty manager who has long managed the bounty compared with the team itself
The point is in the assessment of each because not everything you talk about becomes a reality so I think we have to follow our conscience for which is more trusted in handling bounties.

I have been working in bounty companies since 2017 and have already gone through many different companies. I can say that the situations were different. There were such bounties, which were managed as the teams of companies themselves, there were individual managers and that some of them had problems from time to time. I cannot say how and with whom it is better to participate, but during these 3 years many managers and teams have shown themselves and many have discredited themselves. I agree on one thing that it is necessary to choose bounty companies more carefully and pay more attention to proven bounty managers.

Managers act like the point person when in terms of bounty rewards with a legit bounty managers participants have a good chance to receive rewards,

Even in some cases where bounty managers even have a good reputation there are still developers who are not honest and doesn't want to release

the specific fund that allocated for the bounty hunters.

[Festac]

For me, i think Bounty campaigns managed by the team are always good and easy, if i bring into account pnk tokens; the kleros project, it was a fascinating, easy to do Bounty.

But still it is up to us as individuals to choose which Bounty to join, do your own research and decide

Yea some will say it's good to join bounties that's been managed by team and some will say it's bad, it's all about the difference experience we all had, it's your choice to make a pick and if you choose wrong you don't have to say next time you won't join bounties managed by team again, experience can never be the same.

[GREENch]

To insure themselves many bounty managers write in the rules that they reserve the opportunity to change the conditions of participation in the bounty campaign at any time.In other words, they can enter KYC, cut the amount allocated for the campaign, and so on. So the presence or absence of a bounty Manager involved does not give any guarantees

[davinchi]

When a team manages their own bounty that tells me they do not even have enough money to pay for a bounty manager and they have too much time to spend on bounty managing because they are doing it themselves and when they do it themselves that means its a lot of time spent on it, so instead of spending money they are spending time. That is not a good sign at all, a team should be able to pay for the bounty manager and have enough money but not enough time and need a lot more workers.

So, how could I trust a project when they fail to hire a bounty manager, that looks like something I wouldn't invest into myself and if there is bounty that they are doing themselves, that means I will not be joining the bounty campaign and work for them neither since I do not trust the project neither.
