Why don't you stop rushing to promote bounty from a scammed bounty manager

[The Cryptovator]

I quite agree with OP, this should be the first duty for a bounty hunter to choose a reputed manager. That's how you can save your time. I have seen few bounty managers who have been promoting multiple scam projects and eventually hunters got nothing to except a waste of time. I have remembered we have punished such managers previously. But lately, we haven't seen many accusations against bounty managers. Perhaps hunters become tired or they don't care if a project turns into a scam.

Also, a hunter is the same responsible if a project turns into a scam. Because before choosing a project hunters should do their own diligence. So we can prevent at least some scam projects. All the peoples aren't the same intelligent on the forum. If all hunters spend their time researching projects, then I believe someone would detect if something wrong there. Hunters spreading words about projects and investors notice a project from hunters advertisements. So hunters can't just simply skip since investors following them and lost fund.

So if hunters and managers do their own diligence before taking a project then we can reduce scams although it wouldn't possible to prevent 100%.

Because they believe they will get paid. Little do they know they are going to be scammed (they aren't scammed directly. They do get paid, but the amount they receive is just worth nothing). They still think that they can make the same amount of profit like some were able to do three years ago. They spend a lots of months promoting them. In the end the result is them receiving nothing worth the time they spent behind those bounty program and all they did was promote a scam project!
We can stop them from "rushing". There is no way we can control dimwits.

Because they don't have any other choice for now.

Any reputed manager still looking to promote a shit coin project? I don't think so that is why newbie accounts or random high ranked account started to promote projects with less knowledge about analysis so at the end both get fucked up and investors lose their money to fake and shit projects.

Well, when you spent 2 months by promoting some campaign and they at the end changed their rules, would you give up everything just because they changed rules? No! You will do as much as possible to see your desired reward!

Unfortunately many hunters are too desperate some of them even almost appear like they are beggers ^{sorry to say} but the truth, hunters are the reason why project team treating hunters as irrelevant once the bounty campaign is over, despite the unusual rules from some project, many people will rush in without reading or carrying.

Majorities of these hunters are newbies who accept whatever was thrown to them hook, line and sinker, some of them enters as many bounty campaigns as possible especially social media campaign irrespective of whether they are going to get paid or not thus look like being treated like beggars as you rightly said 'a beggar has no choice' who will caution them against promoting scam bounty campaigns? of course nobody their projection is that participating in like 50 campaigns perhaps they might get half paid while the rest might be scams they wouldn't bother.

The last project of bubbalex is DIA, which campaign already broke one promise "first distribution". The first distribution has already been postponed for 2 weeks, let's see the next date. As op said KYC problem, the popular manager bountydetective campaign is a "Clipx" bounty. Clipx bounty didn't mention KYC but now they need the KYC process. Even the "injection protocol" campaign is doing several processes to reject more hunters.

Basically, if I were to be among the hunters on the bounty I will quit the promotion with immediate effects. There should be a trust between the project team and the manager, also, there should equally be an iota of truth from the bounty managers to bounty hunters. Some of the bounties they extend their promotion sometimes end in scam, waiting for desire rewards while others trapped your reward is meaningless in my opinion.

They will keep coming in like moths to a flame just like people keep sending money to ponzis even when they know what they are.

As long as boyntry hunters will keep promoting scammers these scammers will continue to exploit others.

Bubbalex is a good manager but had not gone to take the role of escrow in bounty management, I think if he had the token with him he will distribute in due time but How does he handle the terrible transaction fee in the market now, some manager face this problem now. Bubbalex do not request for KYC but the way I see him he could demand for it if the team request. Injective protocol is over, Eth and USDT were given as reward and they team had poor management in reward distribution.

More is that, the reasons bounty has been paying shit is because you rushing over it and they decide to list below, compare it with 2017 coins.

You can't blame bounty hunters when it comes to rushing things. They are expecting their rewards and bounty hunters know that they deserve to be paid and sell it on time because of their own reasons. Maybe rushing into things will really make their payment as shit but the project itself should be the one to make a move if they really want to increase the value of their coin or product.

[livingfree]

Other bounty hunters wouldn't care for this. As long as that they are hoping that there's something that's waiting for them for projects that they join, they will continue to join even if they know the reputation of the bounty manager.

No matter how good or bad the reputation, they will come and join. It's because if they see the project that can potential make them money, they will join so that's no reason for them. If the efforts are worthless, they wouldn't mind as long as they have tried.

So if hunters and managers do their own diligence before taking a project then we can reduce scams although it wouldn't possible to prevent 100%.

at least, by reading and analyzing the project in depth can reduce losses.
~

1) a responsible bounty manager will definitely carry out an in-depth analysis of the project that will be handled, 2) a trusted bounty manager will definitely try to make rules that can prevent potential fraud, both manipulation by bounty hunters, and project owners. with the right strategy, everyone will benefit, 3) we all have to know that being a bounty hunter is also risky, our hard work in supporting the project can not be appreciated at all, either because of a scam or irresponsible management. thus we will be more energetic when our expectations are not as expected. And remember, the manager's bounty is not the main guarantee that the project "will" be a success, there are many factors that influence it, so dwyor.

Almost all of hunters know that but remember so many times hunters have been complaining or try to boycott the campaign but the final decision will be on the team as the team itself is a party who was holding the payment. The different situation can happen when the funds have already escrowed by in fact we rarely seen the campaign that escrowed the payments before.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

I think that most bounty hunters have already accepted those risk as being "part of the game", so usually they dont get overly disappointing or upset when it happens. But this cannot be avoided completely, even if all bounty managers implement the escrow system, you can still receive worthless tokens or even the fake ones as the team behind the project can create multiple tokens with different contracts.

[semobo]

Sometimes even the project managed by reputed manager had issues with paying the rewards and even many of them didn't have any value when token got distributed to bounty participants but still people are okay to accept any of their terms and start promoting the bounties without any knowledge about that project.

What you can do if you like the project and you are not sure of the promises

Save up to buy if you don't have money, you can wait for it when it is listed and dumped, you buy cheap.

Some bounty participants like the project but don't have the money to invest, so instead of investing their money, they will invest their time in participating bounty campaign.

I think some of them aware of what is the risk of joining. And some of them just joining and hoping their time will be paid off.

those participants in the bounty campaign will only provide full support for the project provided, while for investment sometimes there are several bounty participants who invest in the project depending on whether the project has good development or not, because usually only good projects get such supporters.

[SquallLeonhart]

Bounty is usually something free, I know that you may not get paid and that is still scam because your efforts do have a cost and that is why you should be paid, but in reality since you do not spend any money on it, people rush to it. There are too many people in the world that doesn't get a lot of money, few dollars is few dollars for them and they will do anything to make that income, I wouldn't bother with it for few bucks but they do and that is why they are quite easy to get scammed this way as well.

If they had to spend money on it, you will see that they will stop rushing, but since it is free and only requires effort they find their efforts to be something to risk and when they risk their efforts sometimes they get paid but sometimes they get scammed, as long as they do not get scammed out of money, they are fine with it.

[MadeMen]

The wholesome truth is that most bounty manager end up getting scammed just like the bounty hunters and they are as vulnerable as everyone else. The fact that one is a senior member and bounty manager does not make him immune to deceptions. It feels really bad for the bounty managers because it seems like they laid so many persons to be slaughtered.
