Need some help to Understand Bounty campaign

[Genemind]

There are so many bounty campaign that moderate by newbie with 2/3 activities, is that kind of bounty are safe and believable?

Nobody can tell, account ranking says a lot to other users especially if you are managing a campaign. In my opinion ranking has nothing to do with elegibility or how good a project is. I've been to numerous campaigns that paid well managed by newbies or even new managers, even trusted campaign managers sometimes gets scammed by dev teams and don't get paid. People should stop focusing on the manager's rank, but on the project they are planning to promote. Ranking may give confidence and assurance to bounty participants, but it all falls to the team if they are paying or not.

It's those bounty campaigns that you should watch out for. That doesn't mean they are already a scam to begin with, but they might be new to the forum, and they want to have more reach with the cryptocurrency members everywhere. If they are diligent enough to understand and know the workarounds of Bitcointalk, they would know to hire a campaign manager or let an escrow hold the actual funds of the campaign itself.

If they are legitimate, then it's easy to show that to the public. If not, then be careful about those projects, don't get scammed.

To understand a project it is not seen from the manager but look at the products they carry, actually an account with a newbie rank can still be trusted because some BM with newbie accounts have successfully brought the projects they manage

Even when the project has built a proper product and that doesn't mean the bounty campaign that has been running by the project will be ended smoothly. Do you see that some bounty cases that the manager was locking the spreadsheet and that makes the hunters were not able to see the result of their work?
That proves that if the product didn't guarantee how successful the campaign. More consideration must be taken BTW

You need to make research to know whether a bounty manager is legit or not, but I can say that a newbie bounty manager will still be legit just look at the project and also join their bounty telegram group and see how the bounty manager responds to the participants.

Well Since the merit system a lot of account around here is stuck in Newbie Account.
Unlike before the merit system. an account could rank due to count of its post.
Like you, with the heck of a number of post but still at Newbie Account.

However it doesnt matter, some bounty manager is still has a newbie account but has a good track record on successful bounties.
so its better to check the bounty manager's past projects and secondly you could actually check if the project itself is legit.

Have you been watching all of the scam projects that happened since the first quarter of this year? the majority of the scam projects have been running by the newbie campaign manager and i can mention some like swaphub and various scam defi projects. Their project didn't guarantee if that will be a legit project or not. As far as i can see that depends on whether the project already traded or not. Even some legit projects can refuse to pay the hunters.

If you want to believe, I don't think so,
there are still many people who are worthy to be followed, but if you have a team that is well known and can be trusted even though my newbie account can join, but I prefer BM who is experienced and has good Trust

Yes, that's right, but the campaign project that you are participating in, BM does not have trust even though she is no longer a newbie at this time, actually this is very simple to understand, because everyone comes from newbie to become big within a certain period of time, now because at this time many scammers create newbie accounts to trick other people, so that's where people start to distrust BM whose rank is still Newbie.

No bounty is guaranteed, you might work for a whole month and end up not getting paid, it's not really about the newbie account, some projects can't afford to pay a good campaign/bounty manager in this forum that's why they prefer to bring someone from their own team to help them manage the bounty, I don't usually participate in such bounties though, cuz most times they don't calculate the stakes well or they end up not paying, that's why the best bounties to participate in are the ones moderated by reputable bounty managers in this forum  .

They are not safe. Around 99% of those bounty program are just a scam. Even those that pay you. They make those shit projects that they know will fail. You promote those shit projects for them and once they get enough people buying their scam tokens, the developers dump those tokens and takes their profit. The tokens that pay you will eventually have zero value. So yeah, even if they paid you, they actually scammed you by making you promote a scam and waste your time.
Don't waste your time in those bounty campaign. You would be earning more by doing other productive tasks.

its conditional case dev team create newbie account to manage their campaign. but mostly campaign from newbie account failed and attract few participants.

This is due to those who do not have experience in managing bounty campaigns and do not have great trust in this forum, so that most of those who are still newbies are failing when holding projects, and many scammers deliberately create new accounts to deceive many people through the bounty campaign, they mainly targeted new investors.

[MCobian]

To determine a safe and reliable bounty campaign, it's best to avoid bounty managers with newbie rankings. Because a bounty manager
with a high ranking must have experience that we can check his track record. If he/she have a good track record, it is certain that the bounty
campaign is safe to join. Unfortunately, project owners now prefer to be led by their own team, rather than hiring a bounty manager who
already has a good reputation. So don't be surprised if there are so many bounty campaigns currently circulating that are scams.

[hannahB4]

I will not go for it because I will be skeptical about the manager but if possible I will review past campaigns and review of the manager but only if I don't have any other better options. Though notwithstanding we will have some of this campaign that will not be a scam and will pay off thereafter.

[Cling18]

It would sound doubtful to me. I'm not saying that newbies can't be trusted but it's still important that we'll look for a legit and trusted manager with a good history and background if we want assurance. It would be a risk to trust a manager without any record. It's also important that you'll check the legitimacy of a project that you're joining so you'll know how to get rid of scam project these days.

It's unpredictable, I've joined a bounty campaign moderated by a newbie and was successful, but I've also joined a bounty campaign moderated by a well-known manager and it's a scam. So in my opinion, it's not from who moderates, but rather the project team that determines the bounty campaign is successful or not

Before you take part in any bounty campaign, do a background check of the project(Defi, ICO, IEO).
And find out that the thing that you are promoting is a legit one or not.
Moreover if you want to be on be safer side, always go for bounties managed by reputable members here in the forum.
At last Be wise and select the best campaign according to your preference.
Hope this helps you mate.

I'm sure those newbies were old members here in bitcointalk forum. They don't want to use their old accounts to handle the bounty maybe they afraid of getting negative reputation if the project turned scam, that's why many newbies handling the campaigns but I don't care the rank of bounty manager, I care the project, if it is not scammy then I will participate the bounty campaign.

It's a risk, OP. It's an investment for you to give time for finding out about the project dev's reputation.
Newbie is surely a red flag, and there might be some purchasing copper membership just to prove that they're willing to buy and support forum and not just pop out of here screw with people. That's just the tip of an iceberg though.

It could be like this, but the reputation of the manager is also very important to add value to our trust in the project where he is managing.  For beginners, it may be very difficult to judge this project as good or just a scam.  It can be seen easily whether the manager is experienced or not.

campaigns handled by famous BMs or newbies alike cannot guarantee that the hunters will be paid...
You can skip every campaign a newbie is running if you don't want to bet getting involved. the risk is balanced because the projects that appeared today only want to raise funds without wanting to develop it.

[Yatsan]

The safeness and legibility of the bounty campaign does not momentarily relies on the rank of the account of the bounty manager for the team behind the project is the one being responsible for the payments and the run of the entire project. But if you are having doubts about projects being moderated or run by newbies account, then you can avoid them for that is the initial reaction of anyone since there are certainly trust issues with regards to bounty campaigns due to recent scams that involves many bounties in the past. But you could still reconsider trusting those projects even they are being run by newbies account for the project itself must be the first reliable second the manager for he is taking over the responsibility of handling the bounty.
