Email address exposure in spreadsheet

[Lavander]

Bounty managers please kindly start hiding emails in your spreadsheet because I always like using new email for bounty participation and I surprised that there are many offer mails in my email account, some are free airdrop some are affiliate marketing offers, I still remember that some people are selling email addresses online, it will be easier for such people to go through bounty spreadsheet and pack the whole email address

I think you should use different email when you are joining the bounty campaigns I think you can't avoid it and maybe some of the managers are selling this information to some companies so they would send you offers so to avoid it just use alternate email address just for bounty purposes.

Bounty manager can simply hide that email address column or reduce column size so showcase only one or two words of your mails. I think this is better solution instead of putting a stop on asking for emails.

I think the best solution is to stop asking for email addresses from bounty participants, because the email address for bounties is not really necessary, unless the manager requires bounty participants to register their website for bounty purposes.

I completely agree with the author, just recently an airdrop Uniswap came to the mail, which turned out to be a scam and I saw a couple of guys who got caught.

I think those bounty managers were new to handling the bounty campaign. They should not expose our email in the bounty spreadsheet, we really get spam emails even we use secondary account for the bounty, it's still annoys me with the spam email trying to lure me in their fake site and offering high ROI platforms.

I am not sure why many bounty managers ask for the email addresses of the hunters when most of the time they don't have any real use with the bounty campaign. Many scammers try to use those mail to scam others. Like in the Injective Protocol bounty campaign one scammer changed my wallet address by telling BM amount my email address which was hidden in that campaign. He must have collected that from any other campaign.

Those who come via email are almost all Scams, so it's better to just ignore them, because a good project doesn't need to send a letter to everyone to participate in it, because the good ones will always be sought after and in demand by many people.

They should not ask your email if it is bounty campaign, I have never participated on bounty campaign that ask for emails because they don't need that they only need your telegram username for update and to make sure you are participating in their chat and your wallet address where to send your rewards and of course the validation post, if they ask more something fishy is going on.

I get these emails, almost every day I receive these messages, it's hard for me to stop them from sending Airdrop messages to me, as long as I receive these messages my email is like junk, even every day I have to delete these messages from my email inbox ..

Never use the main email to follow an airdrop or bounty. Make a special email, because if our email is just exposed in a spreadsheet, there will be a lot of spam coming in. Many people use spamming techniques like this because it works, I have also done it 

[Warkop]

Email crypto spam is the big problem. Only special email address for crypto could solve this problem more or less

This will solve the issue, Bounty hunter should not use there personal email when joining in bounty campaign. Always expect the worst that there details will be exposed in public.

Yes, I totally agree with you, indeed bounty hunters are not allowed to use personal email addresses when participating in bounty campaigns, but not everyone who does this uses a fake email address or changes email addresses, because according to them changing email will be confusing if they forget to save it, then after distribution is complete and have to open the email in the dashboard, because they distribute it via registered email.

[Reid]

Yeah, my problem with my e-mail too after joining one bounty before.
Now, I got airdrop mail and a lot of trash.
Well, I have seen managers that are doing good hiding these things.
Most of them are the good ones which also puts projects at higher success rates.
Maybe you just joined the wrong project and manager. I did. Put them all in my spam lists. 

[kodtycoon]

I've never had that experience it's better to use another email to input your data into spreadsheets, hunting for bounty and looking for on easy task bounty and without including email address is a lot bounty. don't be rapacious to pick everything that in there, pick it up what you think is good for your own convenience.

It's not only airdrop but the scammers were also doing so many things like create fake ethereum 2.0 and then they also used paid advertise on google to promote the scam or fake metamask.
There are some awareness about this. Email should never be exposed as it will be included into the privacy of the participants.
The scammers will always steal it to spread the small and malware.

It's a good thing that there are also bounty managers who are concerned about our details and they're responsibly hiding it. It's really annoying to receive emails from scammers especially when we're also using our personal email accounts for our jobs and businesses. Since we can't control it, the best thing that we can do is to report those emails and block them.

[layoutph]

So many irresponsible bounty managers who gathers email address but knowledgeable in spreadsheet to hide participants email address. Anyone could simply snatch the email and sell it to other. Or may be send affiliate links to take advantage of emails.

This step I did every joining with bounty campaign and airdrop project never give and use my personal email address, only use new email address where not connected with exchange account, social media account and never use email for joining to but to create something most important, I know although our email is hidden maybe still have chance for bounty manager later will show our email to public because they wanna try to promote with their project.

I don't know the reasons why some bounties ask for email when you aren't really going to sign up for an account with your email address but yet inside the bounty registration form you are asked to drop your email address, very wrong IMO, what is the email address asked for? I'm curious

[mrongoz22]

I think it is not a very important problem because the email can be replaced and not too dangerous, because in my opinion the email sent to us can be filtered, so maybe it has a bad influence because it is no longer anonymous.

[soetikno]

In my email there is the same thing, lots of spam airdrops whether it's from UNI or something else, I think it's scammers and I don't care about it, but some bounty managers have hidden a lot of email addresses in spreadsheets

They actually hide our emails on the spreadsheet, but sadly they sell our email information to some necessary organizations
My experience is that once participating in bounty campaigns, only use bounty emails. It will help us avoid annoying spam emails and in particular we will not have to encounter any email scam. This is a way for us to protect our own money as well as to prevent hackers from breaking into our computers.
