Is Base protocol trying to rip bounty hunters

[Beparanf]

Is this the bounty campaign you are pertaining in the OP(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284450.0)?

The bounty manager is from the team itself so there is no chance that the DT in the forum to make appeal on there campaign for there lapses on handling bounty campaign. This is the risk that the bounty participants taking everytime they participate on campaign that managed by user outside the forum.

The admin that managed the bounty program have promised to pay all participants in the next 48hrs, I'm guessing this time isn't up yet so why the complains? Let's wait for the time and see if the team will keep their promise or not before we start calling the project scam, all I can guess is the team have no time to update spreadsheet, if they can pay as promised then no problem

[maartenhaha]

The base protocol bounty manager didn't update the bounty spreadsheet for 7 weeks that the bounty was on and started to do so after the bounty ended.

Some bounty managers only update the spreadsheet once when the bounty is over and that's not bad, specifically for the signature of the participant who has to ensure 15 posts per week to get the bet. Stay positive because the bounty manager is managed by the project team it will take a little time so please wait for the latest information from BM.

Im participated so many bounty campaign and I am experience of what you said in these thread locked the spreadsheet and lock the bounty group chat so that no one can ask the question that we can to tell them and if you ask in the main group you will banned and we do not know of whats going on of the bounty. So all we gonna do is quietly waiting the news of the project on when the distributing will be started even know that would not happen and sometimes even we ask from the BM they dont know of whats going on because they are only updated spreadsheet and manage the bounty campaign and the one could send ask a bounty rewards are the team project.

The fact that the manager of base protocol didn't even update the spreadsheet and they were closing it and they didn't let the hunters to take a look at how much they have got. BTW you should watch the case before try to commenting about that. It seems like that you didn't know about the situation that happened with the base protocol bounty hunters.

I don't want to protect this project, but as far as I know about bounty Base Dylan shared that he is focusing more on the project than spending his time calculating the bounty campaign. Okay and everyone can sympathize with that since he belongs to the dev, but there are new suggestions for finding BM but not being approved.

But the problem is that for the spreadsheet, I can see that they have done multiple calculations for the Tw, Trans, Contents campaigns and the only thing left is that they haven't calculated it yet and have closed it. I am really confused about their actions when they say they will pay again and I am skeptical that the sig campaign will be difficult to calculate accurately.

There are a lot of problems with base protocol  !!!

This is very unpleasant for all bounty participants of the project, feel sorry.
When the spreadsheet does not update for more than 3 weeks the bounty participant must have the courage to take the decision leave the bounty because BM is very unprofessional.
From some replies it is clear that BM is from the team project itself, so maybe they have planned it all to get a free promotion.

Strange to see that you complain about Base bounty campaign only now. If the spreadsheet was not filled for 7 weeks it is obvious that this is a scam. When you see that spreadsheets are not filled for 2-4 weeks and bounty managers cant give reasonable explanation, that must be the first  call to drop this bounty and stop wasting time on them.

As a bounty hunter (or future one) you should feel normal about being scammed or not receiving rewards. In fact, you did not sign any contract with the project and they can do what ever they want with rewards. No one forced you to participate. It is like a promotional charity.

[bounceback]

How many days spreadsheet locked? usually when bounty campaign finish need one week and bounty manager will locked spreadsheet about 7 days later and open again after finish and completed with counting token reward, maybe if still few days after locking with spreadsheet better waiting and give chance for bounty manager, but do you try to contact on telegram bounty campaign for getting more information? almost bounty campaign manager have telegram channel and they will update all about bounty distribution and reason why spreadsheet locked, hope you get your reward as base protocol bounty campaign reward.

This is one of the reasons why I don't trust new projects that are managed by the team themselves, this is what happened with ez365 too, after bounty ends the tokens aren't distributed since 2019 now, the project failed to launch, it's better to promote projects that are introduced by popular bounty managers instead

I'm not buying this sir, I joined alchemypay bounty last December 2019 and the bounty manager failed to update the spreadsheet until the bounty is finally over, many left because of this and they later regret because the spreadsheet was completed and the tokens was sent to all participants

Yes, promoting a project introduced by a popular prize manager is better, because it will hurt a lot if the bounty participants are always being played with by the project team itself, especially when the participants are made to wait for more than one year, this is very costly time.

You can't compare it with alchemypay as the base protocol team has a bad reputation in the past with its old project and that makes people are feeling doubt with their credibility. Some people may still put their believe on the team but remember if anything can happen. It doesn't mean the result will be the same like your old campaign dude.
People didn't know how much they get from their work and the team didn't even give any update regarding the progress of payment.

Thank you for voicing out. We can't even message the bounty manager himself. There is literally no means of communicating about the bounty. The bounty manager is a fraud, he is trying to get some tokens for himself, because the team tokens is locked. The CEO himself doesn't know what is going on, it is the bounty manager that is responsible for this rip off.

is not it the bounty campaign running by the team itself? I never see that guy managing any bounty campaign before and this team was using the service of a BM in the past.
That's weird if CEO didn't even know what's going on with the bounty campaign.
The worst thing will be those people will be scamming the hunters. It's happening so many times when the developers avoiding the hunters through closing the group and banning the members.

Things like this that I always avoid, following a campaign managed by their own team are not a recommendation. The project team is supposed to focus on developing projects and other matters, their campaign requires a bounty manager who actually has time for the job.

It would be difficult if they had locked lock everything and always blocked people complaining about their rights in their groups. Better to leave the campaign like that.

Im curious, why is the first and second posts from new accounts with two activities? How did you promote this base protocol project with such low activities? Or you are using different accounts? Base protocol already have bad rep in this forum because of their old project, now that they have base protocol I expected them to change their ways but instead they decide to be mean, this project can't be trusted

The OP stated that any attempt to try to talk about the bounty was met with a ban so most likely he is afraid that if he posts from his main account he is going to be banned from the bounty campaign and lose access to his potential profits, I was not aware of this project, as it is impossible to keep with all the altcoins in the market, however if this is true their actions are suspicious at best and accusations like these could be better handled in the scam accusations section of the forum.

I don't know why people seems to be making noise about this, remember Radix bounty when the team decided to just come ou with token distribution and not with the final stake and when the team was asked we were told to just shut up and take it. Until people start demanding that this project be held accountable to their initial agreement there is no way to go around this. If a project can't be trusted with issue like bounty, why would I trust them to do what they promised they wanted to do.

Does this help? Never seen that after demanding something, relationship between hunters and the project become better. It is easy to find out those who “demand” in spreadsheet, kick them first and let others wait or leave free to go.

[vaultman]

Participants of the bounty campaigns received a rewards for participation, but the fact that they closed the spreadsheet and changed the total reward pool from 37,000 tokens to 30,000 raises vague doubts. But, I hope that everything was done honestly and 7000 missing tokens were debited from those participants who participated in the bounty campaign in bad faith. I was personally paid because I also participated in this bounty campaign.

Thats true if the spreadsheet of the bounty campaign has not updated of locked more than 5-7 weeks its obvious that would be come a scam bounty and sometimes the groupchannel in the telegram and discord not active and many ads or bots running of it so must better to leave it early than asking for them about the bounty but no one can reply.

Actually it was not the first time for us being a victim to those bounty campaign, And yes it was being normal for us even if we dont receive any bounty rewards from them.

The base protocol bounty manager didn't update the bounty spreadsheet for 7 weeks that the bounty was on and started to do so after the bounty ended. He purposely locked the bounty spreadsheet so participant can see what they were given and also restricted the bounty group that nobody can ask questions or talk on the group. And if anybody raise a bounty question on the main group, he/she will be immediately banned from the group.

I am hearing more complaints like this in recent times, it was the same situation when the ICO hype for ruling the market and mostly all the managers during that time were tagged because they scammed the users or changed decisions on the fly and i am expecting some tags in this DeFi hype too. I joined some of the hyped groups telegram channel and i used to see complaints and grievances regarding bounty and they do not entertain those in the main channel and hence they usually ban users but if you really think that someone is taking advantage and not responding you can start a reputation thread against the said managers.
