Is this even normal?

[iamaruf]

Sad but true, this is normal.  Last two years there are lots of projects that scammed bounty hunters. Even some of them are reputed projects in the crypto industry. Actually, only 10% of the projects paid bounty hunters. After finishing the campaign they start drama. They delete the telegram group. Or they announce that they will pay after 3 months then ran away and scam hunter. Don't be sad and expect from them. move on

[ReliabilityAlert222]

This is so abnormal. That is a sign that they don't even care about their bounty. It only can be closed if the participants have already received their rewards otherwise it is very likely that they don't want to pay. It can be a scam project and I think this project has ended up without paying the bounty hunters.

Unfortunately this happens very often and it is very difficult to solve this problem, of course, if all bounty hunters who participated in this bounty company will get together and if you will start acting together, then of course it will be possible to achieve some result, but unfortunately there is nothing to do one by one, and there were already a lot of such bounty companies like base protocol, and the most annoying thing is that there will be still a lot of such bounty companies in the future.

Guys is any of these normal?

1. Admin close down bounty group after bounty ends

2. Admin failed to update spreadsheet and gives stakes to participants and later block access to the spreadsheet

This is what base protocol team did to their promoters, all those that participate in signature campaign aren't rewarded any stakes and they can't even look at spreadsheet, bounty group is closed too so anyone can't complain and yet the team said they will make distribution in the next 42 hours

1. No it isn't normal because its a shady thing when they suddenly close it out unless if the do announce it some valid reason but I don't really see right on this one.
2. When everything is blocked or closed the spreadsheet without viable reason then that would be shady.

This is the common problem when it comes to bounties where there are lots of projects are shit now and joining bounties isn't something that you can expect for getting paid.
When you do bounty hunting then expect for this thing to happen.

Actually, this is normal. I saw so many campaigns that did the same distribution, even some campaigns didn't open spreadsheet but sent the screenshot of your account with tokens. But I don't find any reason to block bounty groups. The Swapzilla campaign was average but so many fake users were in the final spreadsheet and the telegram group was locked.

[Santri]

I just went to the bounty thread and for the telegram bounty group there is no "https://t.me/basebounty not found", I don't know about this, they have paid participants fairly or not

[lixer]

That looks like a scam to me, they will just keep you guys hoping that you all are going to get paid, and they won’t pay. Maybe you should have done some background check of the project’s team to know who they really are and what other project hey have been into in the past and whether they paid those that participated in the past project. I am already seeing a comment that says that the team that owns the project are scammers and this is is not their first project and the first one they also never paid those that participated. If they are not scammers I don’t see any reason why they would block everyone from having access to their group.

Base protocol isn't a scam, they paid all bounty hunters as they promised, I have a friend that joined their Signature campaign, the problem is the team failed to hire a qualified bounty manager and they decide to manage the w themselves but the project team are limited, to further the project development they have no time to record stakes, lame excuse isn't it? But that was what happened

very lame, there's one comment in here who says that the campaign manager has already been involved in some bounty campaign scam, so it is part of the Base protocol's irresponsibility to find a good and clean manager. I won't call it scam cause Base protocol might be good and legit, but the event says that they should take great responsibility, whether they have a record or not, they should pay the hunters for the promotions.

[Rowenta]

There are few reasons to consider that base protocol is a scam project but it ends up that the team aren't professionals after all, at first I doubted the project but as time goes on I later realized that the project has only 3 members that are focusing more on development, another thing they did wrong is they don't trust any outsider to manage the bounty campaign for them, I personally introduced popular bounty managers to the team yet they refused

[Rowenta]

Every payment is done and only those who failed to contribute at all are left out, even those who participants in just two weeks out of six weeks campaign I guess still got paid, I never expected that they will keep their promises

Even Base Protocol is a legitimate or trusted project; they should be hiring a trusted and good bounty manager to avoid having complaints and able to pay their participants. So I feel sorry for those bounty hunters who have been scam by the Base Protocol's bounty manager because of the bounty campaign scam that they didn't receive their rewards.

[Ryushin]

Base protocol team brings all the blames on themselves, it would have been a different story if they hire a bounty manager for the job, they are too busy is a good excuse but not be able to hire a bounty manager is a stupid excuse, I was surprised they paid bounty hunters because I doubted they will ever pay because of the way they handle everything

admin as the decision maker has left the group and you are still asking is it normal? I think it's definitely a scam and you should get away from that group. because it has become a trash group.
If it is a successful group the admin will not leave or leave but stay and provide information to the members

[Banulit]

I don't that this is normal and I think that the project turns out to be scam project because of the fact that the do not have proper communication to the bounty hunter regarding this kind of situation as well as they did not update their spreadsheet often times and not updating the spreadsheet for staking is one red flag if you are joining bounty campaigns. Suggestion is that do a deep research before participating in a bounty campaign to avoid this kind of circumstances.

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

Bounty participants often game bounty reward systems, so projects stop honoring bounty claims. The same can be said for airdrops.

There are a lot of scams in this industry, it's an unregulated market and everyone will likely get scammed at some point so diversify and do your research.

Doesn't look normal to me but fortunately all bounty hunters that promoted base protocol still get paid, the teams are just too lazy or busy to update spreadsheet themselves, but not just in the right way, all tokens are sent out in their own ways, not actually what hunters earned by hard working

It's not normal so it's probably a scam. I experienced the same thing a lot before actually and it made me so mad but too bad, there's nothing much I can do about it. Bounty campaigns gives good profit before not until plenty of scams started showing up. Ever since, I always made sure that the bounty manager is trustworthy before I join because it is very disappointing whenever you spend lots of time and effort promoting their campaign but in the end you won't recieve any amount of profit from all of your hardwork.

[VDraci]

This topic needs to be closed because base protocol have paid all bounty hunters what they owe them, presently only social media bounty for base protocol is ongoing, the way teams handled the campaign was poor but everything is been settled

In fact, today we are seeing not only fraud on the part of the teams of some projects, but also some managers do not do their job and at the same time they constantly abuse their capabilities. Most likely they work for their own pocket, that is, for their own wallet and do not care about the common good.
