Topic: 90% Of Project Bounties Are Scams - page 18. (Read 1791 times)
People of course should carefully analyze projects in which bounties they participate because many projects don`t pay for their campaings or don`t develop their project, but just try to get money from inexperienced investors
Some projects start with genuine intentions but the condition of the market make them lose their passion towards developing the ideas they had in mind when launching their project into reality. Some projects are also quite good in disguising themselves as legitimate projects just to get the approval of a professional manager and later scam the community therefore don't put all the work on managers.
Market conditions do have a big effect, so the targets and strategies that have been planned to become messy because the targets have not been achieved.We must also be able to adapt to the current bounty campaign conditions. Understand the risks and don't expect to be too high. Stop comparing the current situation with 2017, it will only make you weaker and less adaptable. Try to be wiser in choosing a campaign, do a maximum analysis, do the maximum effort but still be rational.
Also I hope that bounty hunter try to analyst first about the ins and out of the project before they start to join bounty. All I know most of bounty manager are use newbie account or the project make a copper member account which is mean they aren't choose someone else to promote their project. If they do that, will you blame bounty manager? Cause bounty manager is part of team. I will agree if the project's developer choose reputable manager like yahoo or Hhampuz because they will learn for the ins and out of the project. And in this case, you have to emphasize as well for those bounty hunter.
Not every bounty manager has the competence to distinguish a good project from a bad one.
I do not agree that 90% of the bounty scam companies are more likely that most of these projects are not already solvent at the stage of idea and marketing.
The bounty manager only does the work of his superiors so when there is a scam bounty it is not the fault of the bounty manager but the error of the developer who cannot be trusted and does not value the bounty hunter participants by not paying or when paid but the price is given on the market there is no support from the developer so that the price rises, so most of this is the fault of the developer. I do not agree that 90% of the bounty scam companies are more likely that most of these projects are not already solvent at the stage of idea and marketing.
Do they not think that we spend a lot of time campaigning for their projects.
They do but don't care. 
It is ironic but bounty hunters can do nothing. Something that hunters can do is taking some learning from that condition. Then, don't join in the shit-bounties anymore.I hope the bounty manager can check each project before it is managed, and for cheat managers, stop cheating.
Some bounty managers did it but unfortunately, they were also deceived by the projects. While a few of bounty managers may be careless and not doing enough efforts to check/analyze the projects. We are better to choose bounties managed by trusted bounty managers. They must be more thoroughly and apply good procedures to check the projects.

A good manager doesn't always mean if that will be getting legit project. I have already participated in so many bounties and it doesn't even give guarantee. what gives more guarantee to the hunters was listing. When a coin already listed on the exchange site and the hunters can get a very good guarantee for their payment. I do not agree that 90% of the bounty scam companies are more likely that most of these projects are not already solvent at the stage of idea and marketing.
You should not expect a lot when the token is not yet listed and it's running by legit bounty manager.

As a bounty participants you should make the security of your fund and time as your number one priority and not to rely on others to do that for you. Carry-out personal research on selecting quality projects to promote and not associating yourself with any project you see out there especially those with "too good to be true" promises.
It's really sad bounties are not worth spending time on these days. I remember those days back in 2017 when you could make $3K out of one single bounty. Currently, I would not advised anybody to out his heart much in bounty because you are likely not going to get paid or the project will turn out to be scam.
That's what happened and with a lot of bad experiences that have been experienced in the past at least make me myself no longer have an interest in bounties projects, something is different when they are old projects and then they make advanced promotions and even make airdrops programs that at least they will be easy to succeed because they already have a good reputation in this market. So with this incident at least we have to be more careful when trying to promote them, because even most managers do not have full control over the main objectives of the project itself.
Yes, most bounties are a scam, this was why I ran away from bountyhives and choose to participate in a single bounty per time and most cases just the signature because I don't want to stress myself where I won't find any gain. Time is very precious.

There is also something that happens with changes to the wallet payment to the platform in a short duration, so we did not know there was a change. And when we ask easily they answer the distribution period is over. Really we are like dealing with extraterrestrials.
Well, related to changes in rules, as far as I know, every bounty manager always gives a warning that changes to rules can happen at any time, so as a bounty hunter we cannot blame the bounty manager and dev because that is the rule that we must understand and accept.There is also something that happens with changes to the wallet payment to the platform in a short duration, so we did not know there was a change. And when we ask easily they answer the distribution period is over. Really we are like dealing with extraterrestrials.
We also have to update information, don't miss out on info so that we don't lose the opportunity to claim rewards. Don't just focus on quantity, support and work on campaigns according to your capacity. Be an educated bounty hunter.
Any reputed found involving in shady activities will get exposed sooner or later by the community so they will never risk their account's reputation for some bucks but when a bounty is managed by newbie or copper member then they have nothing to lose so choose wisely when you start with, there is no use of crying at the end.
Bounty participants also have their roles to play. You have to be selective when it comes to what project to promote and the bounty manager to work with. A lot of things have been ongoing. Some bounty managers cheat, but there are some that are very sincere with their jobs. Which is why I select the bounty managers to work with. If you are still new in the system, I might not participate in the project you are managing, except I am sure that some measures have been put in place, to check that.
Although, sometimes, you can still find good projects, managed by newbies and pay bounty hunters with meaningful rewards. There have been some in the past, but they are not so many.

This makes me remember an interesting topic I read in the past which describe perfectly why 99% of ico are 'absolute garbage' because they are giving a good percentage of their total allocation to random people doing specific advertising tasks like Facebook and twitter campaign with most of them full of bots accounts thus they are not generating any revenue and the bigger problem is that even legit bounty doesn't apply any form of tracking to evaluate the effectiveness of each participant.
Also, not having maximum numbers of participants lead to a hard dump on tokens price after launch as know hunters tend to sell their reward immediately when received.

All they have to know is that the services of campaign participants are very large towards the success of a project.
False.
Altho they do play some part, 75% of modern bounty hunters do 20-30 bounties at a time, making their accounts a spam fest which most of the funnels ignore.
Besides, usually when a hunter has 10k followers on twitter, those are inactive bad accounts,
Only thing that could get some traction is a well written article (less than 1% of them) or a good youtube video that goes viral.
Having said that, i do stand by hunters in a way that projects should pay up for their efforts. But the reality is, most BM's can't do shit about it.
And even if the project does distribute, who's to say those tokens are worth anything. Even promising projects fail, or don't get listed
I agree that it'd be a great thing for everyone if the campaign managers looked more thoroughly into the campaigns they're managing (most of the more popular one we see on the forum do), but unfortunately there's so many people out there willing to manage campaigns right now that even the scammiest campaigns are likely to find someone who's able to do the basics of a manager.
As for whether or not these will continue to pop up, I don't think we'll ever see the creation of scam bounty campaigns stop until it's unprofitable to do so. It's been happening even before 2018, and though it can be tough, you'll be able to figure out which ones are likely scams and which ones aren't in time if you're new.

If I see a project that appeared in 2018 until now has experienced a very significant setback.

This tread very useful if you give more valid data, if you provide evidence just not a statement. To say a scam also has a difference of opinion. So I think the scam here should be interpreted.
Even now there are bounties that do pay but you have to be now more careful and vigilant before selecting a new campaign to promote, you should now research each and every aspect of the project before promoting it just to make sure that you will not be scammed, this way your percentage of finding scam bounties will decrease.
I know how it feels to be part of a bounty campaign where we work so carefully everyday and then submit the report of work done every week and this continues mostly for 2 to 3 months on average and then when you are deprived of the reward it kinds of kills the worker/hunter from inside, i just condemn such people who do this to hunters and do not pay their right, the solution can be escrow reward to a reliable third party that will distribute reward after the campaign ends.
