The bounty scam will gradually go away

[isaac_clarke22]

Don't really understand what the problem is about social media campaigns like twitter eliminating the bounty scam, can that really be proven?

Prior to this time, there have been many social campaigns in the past and that does not remove bounties or scam projects. If the campaign is run using Bitcoin then obviously I think it will guarantee a legit project, but if the payment will still involve their own token even though the campaign is done using Twitter, I personally would still doubt it.

Well sometimes it still depends on the manager that handles the campaign.
There has been many incidents of fake campaigns in the past, that's why escrow is pretty much recommended when a manager is simply new to handling these unless he/she wants to be questioned which is just a natural thing to happen anyway.

twitter campaigns that pays in btc are already been there ever since before and not just by this month or this year but bounty scam are also been there , twitter or some sort of social media campaigns did not totally solve them . social media campaigns that pays in btc are short duration only so if those were gone people will go back applying on bounties again .

 twitter campaign on service board have taken a long rest before but they only bring it back maybe because they want to clear the reputation of twitter in regards to the hacking and scamming that happen on the said platform

If bounty hunters as a group demanded to be paid in coins that already hold value then this could solve the issue of scam bounty campaigns as now the scammers will think about it twice before trying a scam as it will cost them money in order to try to pull something, but this is never going to happen, for every bounty hunter not willing to accept useless coins there are probably ten that are happy to accept those coins with the vain hope that at some point in the future those coins will be worth a fortune.

Completely tired of project and bounty managers who don't value bounty hunters, doing work every day for several months and they ignore it without paying what they say. I hope there is protection or a good system for bounty hunters so that we can work safely without worrying that they will pay or not.

In this case, of course, the prize manager is not 100% related to the occurrence of fraudulent campaigns, because  I think the manager never wants to handle a fraudulent project, and this will certainly tarnish the manager's name in the forum and this will certainly give negative confidence in the manager. ,
Most managers only handle a project until the project is completed and usually the problem of payment will be handled by the project team if the project is indeed cheating on bounty hunters, of course the manager will also not get paid at all, so, we completely can't blame the manager when he doesn't get paid of a bounty project.

Everyone wants that to happened, there are threads that being discussed about having secure escrows and yet
unable to execute, there are still many bounty offered that being supported by hunters even they are keep experiencing same scams.

It's the hunters that should protect themselves, by doing good and more advanced research
regarding to the project before participating will provide much better chances to be well compensated.

Bounty project scams will not disappear from this cryptoqurrency industry space, every time there are always various types of fraud. The scamers out there already know how to get money in crypto so easily that they will never stop trying to con their victims.

The bounty scam will be difficult to lose if there are still bounty hunter participants who participate in it, but as time goes by, bounty hunters are now very clever in choosing bounties that will be successful, I hope there will be a special team to select the bounties that will promote this diforum.

I participated in bounty campaigns in 2017 and started participating now. Then it was possible to get several thousand dollars from each campaign, but now it is very difficult to do this, primarily because of scammers.

Theres no permanent in this world, i agree that aidrops and bounties before are really worth it to join in unlike now that most bounties will only waste your time.

This was new at the time, and perhaps this is why the bounty campaign rewards were so great. Now everything has become much cheaper. Yes, and it would be cheaper. There are so many scammers around that the share of honest projects among them is no more than 10%.

Actually we lost so many campaigns that distributed BTC payment. Even the same for signature campaign. If you follow some campaigns from now to two years, then you will find that most of them are dead. Although the same projects amount is always high, I'm seeing that continuously coinmarketcap listed coins are increasing 2k, 3k 4k. Some legit projects still survive.

This is all because most of these companies were created only to quickly make money on the hype. Most developers did not set any goals other than to simulate the creation of the project and earn money. The only difference is that someone gave money to investors, and someone cheated everyone and stole other people's money.

There are many ways to cheater a bounty even though the requirements are strict only bounty manager can erase all of it If the manager checks all the participants carefully, the impostor will be caught and an effective solution to avoid cheater on the spreen sheet is POA from there it can distinguish the real account or not

[Memminger]

I also want it to happen but one thing is for sure bounty scam wouldn't really go away as long as there are hunters and investor who would fall on it then they would continue to do it and create more projects.
The only thing that we could do is to educate ourselves so we wouldn't fall or participate on those project.
Sad to say but we are the ones who are to blame for it because we continue to invest and cooperate with them because we are lazy to do a proper checking on projects that we would join or invest.

i insist that the scam bounties will never go away. Rather, hunters should try as much as possible to do away with suspicious projects. easy ways to figure out scam bounties are projects with unknown developers, Newly created accounts. ,medium, twitter, facebook and linkedin. most new campaigns here are fresh projects with little or No background on crypto.

Actually, some devs believe we can't rely on their coins or they don't want to lose the value of their coins. I can't find the difference between BTC payment or coins payment campaign. BTC payment or Ethereum payment project also can scam hunters by changing rules several times. To change the rules every time hunters will gradually decrease.

[Gayong88]

Yes. That's right, Twitter is one of the social media that is generally used by many people and can be used as a campaign activity whatever the name is.

In my opinion, this can be minimized only by experienced managers by asking participants to follow several applicable terms and conditions even though the payment varies using either BTC or other Tokens

I doubt if the bounty scam can fade away hmm, but I presume it can be reduced by erection of certain policies and forum managers, to reduce scam projects and hunters was the reason for KYC but how many projects use that again now, it has even discouraged many from joining those campaign. bounty hunters are to take necessary precautions against falling victim of scam project, they waste one's time energy and resources.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

It wont go away, that is just wishful thinking. People will still join shady bounty campaigns regardless the obvious red flags. The bounty section is a wild west and anyone can open a campaign with fraudulent intentions, which is completely understandable. You just have to learn to live with it, its a part of the game, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, bounty hunting is sort of a lottery.

Yes, it can be reduce but impossible to totally go away. Scammers will always take advantage about the people that have less knowledge about the cryptocurrency. Bounty scam will be avoided if hunters will always conduct some research about the project and help the community to avoid the bounty that possibly another scam. Bounty hunters need to learn about the mistakes that the committed. There's some bounty reviews threads that they can rely on. It will help us to identify which can be trust. 

[Kezacky]

no .. Gift scams cannot be removed if you look at them honestly. Besides, seeing the large number of Bounty hunters, most of the project scams were increasing. regarding Bitcoin payments for social media campaigns then that's fine in one perspective, but that won't stop fake gifts from being promoted.

I think people who are already ranked in this forum will always do research on the bounty that will be promoted but sometimes it is also always subject to a bounty that never pays because scamer always takes advantage of the moment when they are working that's why because every time someone is suspicious it is necessary conduct further research so that the project does not develop.
But the average newbie account doesn't have any viewpoint, they will continue to do their work without doing research.

Yes , the hunters should be the one who need to learn if they will stop advertising scam bounty then no one from them will try to make another scam project .because scammers  know when to stop and find other scheme instead  if the they know they will not get any support from hunters.



The more people chose to join in legit project the more chance that scammers will not get free advertisement.
