Unacceptable attitudes from new project teams

[MWesterweele]

Currently the best way to avoid scam projects is to try to get to know the project well before making a decision to participate in its bounty program.

Even if you know the project well, there is no guarantee that you will get pay, lets assume the project is successful, what happens if the team of the project decides to not pay hunters?? I totally agree with OP, Escrow is the solution to unacceptable attitudes of the teams. Escrow also one of many signs the project is serious

Whether we may find a legit project or not if we can't get ou compensation correctly then it will be useless. That's why more of this concern should be answered and shouldered by the bounty managers. They should compensate us correctly depend upon the work or effort that we exert in the project. Well im not saying that all bounty managers were have this attitude, but some of them.

If the campaign manager starts escrowing the campaign rewards, then that would be a real game-changer. I mean we won't have to wait for months to get our rewards. I have participated in many bounty detective escrowed campaigns and, each time, they have sent the rewards without hiccups. The one they don't escrow can something create trouble lol

[New_order]

I've heard projects with Escrow would be better and pay off. I ended up following one of the escrow projects and it ended up being the same. I think things are really tough and this situation can't be fixed, even by the bounty manager.

Escrow only fix the issue of team evading distribution, escrow projects aren't scam free, you still need to do your own research on every projects, many escrowed bounties from bounty detective team turned scam or dead and I glad I ignore the projects then, honestly those projects are purely bad and bounty detective team can't smell it

The funds being hold by the escrow and the team will have paid the hunters. That's why so many hunters are in demand to use more campaign to use escrow to make sure the hunters will be receiving their tokens.
The only party that can fix this problem should be the manager as it can be the escrow at the same time.

you can see some campaigns that used escrow and the hunters have gotten their payments.

Bounty managers of this forum it's time to wisen up, I know few bounty managers are already doing this but majority aren't,  top rated crypto projects that raised millions of dollars successfully are finding it very very hard to pay Bounty Hunters their tokens after all the hardwork talkless of med rated crypto projects, they feel reluctant to pay bounty hunters reward so I'm begging you guys to start compulsory Escrow, if every bounty managers they seek ask for Escrow they won't have any choice but to comply

You are right and I'm not happy about it either, you work for new projects and when bounty ends it will look like bounty hunters are begging the team to pay up, it will be a good move if all bounty managers start having their own rules, this nonsense have to stop somehow, I believe that ESCROW will have good impact

[culuuton]

The projects promise to pay soon when the campaign starts, but they are very reluctant or cheat when the campaign ends even though they get millions of dollars, lots of such projects. It is time for the bounty managers to find an effective way to limit risk, Escrow service for the bounty is necessary.

Of course, the bonus program has a deposit is a great thing, then hunters and managers are assured of working without fear of scams.
However it is very unlikely, most projects want to use their coins as rewards. And keeping the project's coins as escrow doesn't bring anything, if the project is cheated then everyone will end up getting a bunch of trash.

Even without this information,
Bounty hunters should always research a particular project before participating. The bounty managers are also humans like us that are prone to make mistakes so in order to avoid working for free a bounty hunter should properly research before working.

before you join the bounty, you must look at the bounty manager first, because good bounty managers affect the distribution of payments,
we know that many projects do not pay because of a scam or they forget the bounty hunter, yes many cases like that have happened,
but if we follow the professional bounty manager, then you will avoid things like that, or maybe minimize like that case.

[icekohl]

It will still work as it has been. No one forces you to join those bounties, and once you do you agree to their terms and conditions. If the project doesn't want to adversely affect their reputation they will pay the hunters in full.

[Reid]

Calculating it, the bounty rewards are not even that large.
I don't really understand why owners of DeFi or ICO are still trying to pay them with their coins in the end.
Why not pay with USD or USDT?
Maybe that will help boost the hunter's energy to do the job in the right way or better, like sharing it with other people/investors.

Assured that it will be escrowed. Just for insurance.
If it fails, then cut the hunters prize meaning they didn't do much of the advertising job.

This kind of practice should be stopped I have seen a lot of projects that's locking tokens or not giving at the right time, escrow is the right thing to do but even if they distributed the token the developers can still lock the token from the wallet smart contract so we are left at the mercy of the developers, just do not support this kind of projects.

[xZork]

they feel reluctant to pay bounty hunters reward

I was facing the same situation, I joined Markaccy's bonus program. The Markaccy team says they will pay out in September, but we don't yet know when they'll pay the bounty hunters.
Currently Markaccy's bounty chat is closed and the main team says to find managers to ask about bounties.

When people started participating in the bounty program, they said they would pay in September. At the end of the bounty program they said they would pay by the end of October. Today they told everyone that they will pay by December.
I think bounty hunters should be prepared for the worst

[flyeers309]

I think many people have discussed this issue and I am also sure that the top bounty manager must have offered escrow first.  However, as we know, the team has more power to make rules.  I don't know how long it will be like this and personally I now mostly avoid bounty managers who are irresponsible and not fast response. I prefer a clever bounty manager to urge the project team to always keep their promises.  Bubbalex is still the best for me

[semobo]

To be honest we can't enforce the bounty managers to make escrow a compulsory option while they are managing bounties and begging to them will make them feel more superior and they are not going to change anything. When you have the power in your hand they why you are begging?

 Just stop promoting any bounties which don't have escrow and other hunters also should do the same so mass avoidance will make them to enforce escrow.

[qomariah95]

Bounty Managers who use the escrow system are definitely a good move. I know, BM would want to be like that. But unfortunately the BM cannot enforce this, because if it has to oblige the project must use escrow. So there will be many projects that refuse and BM will not get their work. So this is indeed difficult to implement, because we have to think about the situation of BM.

They are afraid of the dump which is baseless because they allocate only 3 to 5% of their token even if half of the token is dump by the bounty hunters I don't think it will not have an impact on the price if the project has a good potential in the market but they are afraid because the token has no potential in the market and they are afraid that the bounty hunters will compete them when they dump their token.

[Mighty_crypt]

Who wouldn't agree with escrow? Every bounty hunters want to get paid even if the project doesn't live up to its expectations, not getting paid at all is the worst case scenario here, if project team are afraid of dumps they should only give up what they can afford, this is their fault so I accept the fact that escrows guaranteed bounty payments, it's the only way forward

[Hasan905]

Escrowing the bounty budget will maybe helpful for both hunters and manager. Hunters won't have to lose their rewards after working hard for a project promotion, and manager don't have to face a lot of questions from hunters about their payment. But still it won't solve the problem, because escrowing the payment doesn't mean that they will pay it at the time that they promised. No one can start the distribution till the team confirm it.

Escrow is the best choice for bounty campaigns. I don't know why managers don't implement this system, whether they are lazy to send payments or give up on the project team's decisions, they are only selfish and don't care about the participants.
