Sometimes I find myself being added to Telegram groups where they are doing bounty campaigns for new coins but at the end of the day, people will start complaining that the project is dead. In most cases I exited from the groups immediately I find myself there because I feel they are prone to defrauding people.
This makes me to wonder if bounties really pay.
I can't really say that they don't pay totally, maybe you should look out for the bounty manager and sort fit his prior campaign history before shilling heaven and earth for nothing at the end of the day.
Their are bounty managers that once you see them managing a particular project, you just know that they will pay. But the take you be that once you're accepted into a particular bounty, just follow them up in that first week as they are most likely to pay and if they don't pay after then, you know that you've at least gained from them.
