The
ClipX project, another bounty, managed by the Bounty Detectives' team early today let down bounty hunters gently in what seems a soft exit by announcing that it would no longer continue with the project. The announcement was made here:
https://t.me/clipXchannel/13That was after it had cunningly collected KYC documents from hunters (even though that wasn't explicitly on the bounty thread). ClipX insisted it was going to be a passport document for KYC or nothing. It was really a suspicious move but anxious hunters neglected it. Why ask for only a passport for KYC and not any other document.
My advise to bounty hunters:
1. Don't participate in any bounty without escrowed rewards.
2. Don't be in a rush to participate in every bounty that comes up.
3. Follow only trusted Bounty Managers.
4. DYOR on any project and don't rely on BMs. Most of them don't even research a project before going into contract with project team.
Anyone else got any advice for bounty hunters, especially the noobs among them?
First, I think hunters should already understand the consequences of participating in bounties when there are such rules like "we reserve the right to make any changes" which means you have agreed to the future changes the team will introduce at the end of the campaign (and this can very well be kyc)
Secondly, if a team stop the continuation of their project, how is that the bounty management fault? I think the work a bm is hired for is to manage the marketing aspect of the project which is bounty campaign, whether team decides to continue with project or not should not be the problem or fault of the bm,
Thirdly, you and I know that 90% of alt campaigns don't escrow their campaigns, maybe before making this suggestion, you should take a good look at all the previous and present alts campaign and tell me how many have escrowed their tokens, even the Great alts bounty managed by reputable bm's were not placed on escrow, this has been the modus operandi of many alts campaign and will continue to be so, you should put the blame on the team and not the bm. Between such act has occurred in some previous bounties.
