Topic: A bounty telegram channel that do not update is a warning sign (Read 444 times)
for a similar experience, it seems, but the incident was not telegram, but in the forum, the bounty manager concerned did not calculate stake of participants and left it just for reasons that did not want to contact him via telegram but he did not have it
January 20, 2019, 07:53:44 PM
I just got out of Excolony bounty campaign I don't know if they will still pay bounty hunters, but if the bounty channel have no one on the team or the bounty manager is not login anymore in this forum this is a warning sign for bounty hunters to consider, do you have similar experience like this.
Thatis posible a scam project manager not login nor not giving update in their fellow participants specially to their investors I think the project obviously a scam.
So many bounty campaign are same scenario base on the participant share their complaints involve to participate in fake project this a sad for all because this has have bad effect into cryptocurrency side.
January 20, 2019, 07:50:29 PM
I have not yet seen to nebylo absolutely no leadership. May have been created by another branch in the telegram. If not, then you did the right thing.
January 20, 2019, 07:46:22 PM
Don't keep asking the same questions in the telegram group and that makes managers tired and bored, be a smart bounty hunter. if the manager / admin isn't online for 3 weeks, I think it's natural and I experience it.

Seriously this have become the order of the day on Participating in Bounty Programs. This days they hardly pay or careless about those who help in participating in their products. Project like Elysian till date haven't distributed token to hunters and it's over 7 months now after Participating. Well one still have to carry out research before Participating but still we can't tell how the Bounty Manager or the project manager will act thereafter. January 20, 2019, 01:51:59 PM

Most campaigns like this are fake. Especially when they don't even update their bounty spreadsheets weeks after week. The earlier you quit such bounties the better. January 20, 2019, 01:43:46 PM
Good day! I always check bounty channel members after joining. If I see a lot of dummy accounts, I would doubt then but I observe if the channel is active or not. Its important that the Admins and moderators there interact with the bounty hunters because we hunters are also investors. Once we see that the campaign and ICO is a good one, we also invest in it. Seeing a dead channel is already a warning.
January 20, 2019, 01:32:34 PM
If the bounty cqmpaign is not responsive you could say that it is already a scam but that's not the only factor as well because you should also look at their team especially their partners. Bounty hunters must always be cautious and wise in joining a bounty campaign.
January 20, 2019, 01:09:34 PM
I often experience that even there are also bounty channels they are only filled with spam message messages. But the peak in 2018 is that it is estimated that the ICO average is not good enough to abandon bounty hunters and without certainty that they will receive rewards or not.
January 20, 2019, 12:25:12 PM
if in 1 day they are not active, that is normal, because they are human and need rest or vacation. when they exceed 1 day of inactivity, it needs to be suspect. IMO
for me personally, communication on the telegram is very important, because there is a gathering place for investors and teams directly. So, if there is no communication, how will we know the development of the project? if that happens, then just leave them.

January 20, 2019, 11:47:48 AM
I also experienced it because there was no update from the bounty manager or the team from the ICO, so I made a decision to leave and did not expect payment from the bounty because the official telegram chat group also had no good progress
Nah. That is the best choice because we really won't get anything from a bounty that has such a problem. So, it's better to leave the project although without the payment. And I think almost all bounty participants have experienced this problem. Although there were some participants who realized it and or ignored it. January 20, 2019, 09:53:18 AM
I can't understand why you were the bounty hunter on this project. If you stop working with the community it gives hints that the project scam. I have already said many times that it is necessary to analyze the project constructively.
January 18, 2019, 12:42:45 AM
Yes, this will be a warning for bounty hunters. This is like what happened on the ECTV project a few days ago, that many Bounty participants complained because the team disappeared. And in the end, this project is a SCAM and I hope we must be careful about participating in the ICO project.
January 18, 2019, 12:30:24 AM
It is true that many of the bounties which have telegram but is not active, then it could be a harbinger of a scam. It is already a lot going on and if it can be thorough in this then at least will be able to avoid a scam. the renewal should be always there to inform the development of projects that are carried out so as to make the investor and participant bounty satisfied look. and when it's not there then leave it out.
January 17, 2019, 06:30:44 PM
I think most times, what the bounty manager does is to leave a pinned post addressing the silence in the group
And the spreadsheet is attended to especially the signatures campaigns
Except bad bounty manager
It is not enough reason for alarm

Once you realize people have started spamming the group and the team is silent about it, it means they are gone. When there is no information about the progress of the project and no one is responding to member's questions, you don't need to be told that the project is dead.
January 17, 2019, 06:09:50 PM
This is more reason I ensure that u tasks my time to know about any project, whose bounty I want to participate in, because some things like this are inevitable, most especially in scam projects.
Based on what you have said, it is very much possible its a scam project. Although, there are also some scam projects, whose team will are very active. After getting what they needed, it is them you will notice they no more exist.

January 17, 2019, 05:57:24 PM
I have a lot of such dead chats nad channels. Usually a group with no activiry is a scam. It's better to forget about these tokens and try to be more lucky next time with projects.
January 17, 2019, 05:20:30 PM
I agree, since telegram is one of the most important social networks for the project, since it is there that active discussions are conducted and without the participation of managers, such projects do not inspire confidence.
January 17, 2019, 04:35:51 PM
If the team from the project and bounty manager has not been updating or answering message on their channel then there is only two reason, first they might busy developing the project or bounty manager is still not finish with the work and don't want to answer until its done, second the project turn to be scam and the team is hiding.
January 17, 2019, 04:32:07 PM
Constant communication with the community is a great sign of commitment and transparency. I have joined many bounty campaigns and already have encountered many projects that failed and began to quietly abandoning their telegram group. In your case they might be busy and you must wait for them to have an update.
January 17, 2019, 04:25:16 PM
I think the biggest warning sign is main telegram channel without updates.
But as for bounty channel, probably it is abandoned, because bounty is finished and this is the case. Don't you think so, mate?

January 17, 2019, 04:24:59 PM
I think that if a team is interested in the development of a project, then it will definitely not allow at least one of the social networks to be updated with it
January 17, 2019, 04:12:49 PM
Yeah that is one of the warning signs of a scam project but you shouldn't conclude just like that. You try your maximum best to do your research on the project and ask why there is no update on the project, if know relevant answer comes out then you are right. There is no need to join such project.
January 17, 2019, 02:42:51 PM
As a rule, this is the first sign that something is wrong with the project. I can also say in my experience that additional alarming signals can be called: a very long count of stakes, gross errors in the calculation, ignoring questions from the bounty manager.
I completely agree with you, because such reasons are very obvious for a fraudulent project, Or maybe for a less demanded project in the market. But if we take into account the current market connector, then the majority of projects today suffer from just such indicators. January 17, 2019, 02:40:30 PM
I also experienced it because there was no update from the bounty manager or the team from the ICO, so I made a decision to leave and did not expect payment from the bounty because the official telegram chat group also had no good progress

January 17, 2019, 02:32:52 PM
In crypto area the project is a community. The lack of community and/or any social media activity is a huge red flag for me to follow the project. Whatever it is - bounty, ICO or any others.
January 17, 2019, 02:05:16 PM
I just got out of Excolony bounty campaign I don't know if they will still pay bounty hunters, but if the bounty channel have no one on the team or the bounty manager is not login anymore in this forum this is a warning sign for bounty hunters to consider, do you have similar experience like this.
Now there are many similar cases, because project developers are in no hurry to distribute their tokens, and some of them are scammers. I had a similar experience and I am still waiting for tokens from the project, their telegrams are also filled with spam and there are no updates, but I do not lose hope that the team is waiting for favorable conditions. So do not be discouraged ahead of time. 
January 17, 2019, 01:28:55 PM
if there isn't any activity there don't expect payment you should forget about the Excolony bounty campaign. there are still many projects out there. maybe the Excolony team has run away with investor money.
January 17, 2019, 01:24:39 PM
These days, groups or channels of most ICOs did not respond when the sale completed, most ICOs just sell their tokens and run away with the collected money and group become shit group where nobody has no restriction to post anything, which is indication that ICO is no more or giving rewards to participants, and if they give reward in tokens, there is high chance these days that it will not launch on any exchange making tokens of no worth at all. I have participated in some of them Datareum, Parlaychain, in which ICO run away in such a manner with collected money.
January 17, 2019, 01:00:13 PM
When the only one active admin in a telegram groups is a bot, then it is probably time to say goodbye because there is less than 1% chance that the project will be active again.
January 17, 2019, 12:59:20 PM
for bounty telegram chanel 
ever i know, telegram campaign is not really good.
OK every project have an official of Telegram and we as bounty hunter need to make a good respon of that project.
before is worth it but now, it is not too good again for me as a person.

I often experience things like this, sometimes telegram groups mostly bots and their admin seldom update information about the project, finally I leave the group and also the bounty.bounty campaign which like this is mostly fraud.
January 17, 2019, 12:24:49 PM
Of course it is a warning sign.
Or rather, it is a sign the project is already dead.
I would say that last year, the vast majority of these kinds of projects were not out to scam people.
They just failed miserably due to market conditions and poor management.
Some of them just bail, they will literally disappear. They are cutting their losses and moving on.
Some of them get desperate and try to do another round of funding.
Whatever the case is, it is a losing situation.
The best thing for you to do is to move on.
Even if you do get paid, the coin will be worthless, so no point in stressing over it.

if that's happen you better exit from that bounty, that's a sign that BM didn't even consider hunter as a team, BM without bounty hunter was like a car without it's enggine so it's imposible to work, bounty hunter was the one who promote the project and BM the one who connect hunter with project dev. if there's no one who connect bounty participant with project dev, then whose gonna reward bounty hunter work?you do the right choice by quitting those bounty.
January 17, 2019, 11:10:06 AM
If the telegram group chat isn't engaging like it supposed to where investors and bounty hunters communicate with the devs and bounty managers, then something is wrong and that something might be that the project is not real because if it's real the team will be feeding the community with latest information, updates and the progress of the project
January 17, 2019, 10:57:29 AM
The update of the information, progress, and also communication in the telegram is one of the way for us as the investors or the other participants to be communicated. However, if there is no update, I think that we must ask them, and encourage them to make better and better communication and news about their progress. If none changing, leave it.
January 17, 2019, 10:37:59 AM
I agree with this. telegram is one of the most used community channel for all project community, for the team, developer, investors, bounty and airdrop hunters, and more. And if there is no update, it is very important for us to warn about this, update always about the projects.
Not in all countries, the telegram is the most popular source of communication. as far as I know, a discussion in discord is very popular now

A dead social media platform of project signal dead team/project continue with such bounty campaign is absolute waste of time and energy, it is better to quit and search for another project, you have taken the right decision to stop working for the project.

Yes, of course. For example Swiss alps mining or Xera bounty are silent after the end of bounty. Bounty hunters do not know if they could change their signatures, if they receive payment or what? January 17, 2019, 09:52:39 AM

You should've known it at the first place.
Arent they updating you all in telegram while the bounty is ongoing?
The very least you could do is save yourself from wastimg time and effort doing the job they require. A week or a month of no update is good enough to consider they are a scam.
Also by checking how much funds they have accumulated is a must. If it is low or impossible to reach the soft cap then get out of it.

I have experienced this. I once joined a bounty campaign and a gift telegraph channel they could not access anymore. and it turned out that the campaign was a gift of a scam.
January 17, 2019, 09:25:41 AM
Well thats true if the telegram group is quite its a sign that the project is a fraud. Active member or admin is a good sign the project growing bigger better then ever before. Just dont miss any good information from the group.
January 17, 2019, 09:01:14 AM
If the channel is not gonna actively handle that means the team behind the project is not actively handling the project. And nowadays most of the similar cases have already come out.
January 16, 2019, 10:53:17 AM
Try to ask for help in official telegram channel, sometimes just the bounty manager don't talk to much but he have complete the spreadsheet, tokens distribution events date is control by project owner, I don't care the bounty channel, just make sure the official channel is active.
January 16, 2019, 10:24:07 AM
if the telegram channel is no longer active, I'm not sure the project is still running, indeed we often find projects like that lately. if the project is so, you better go out or contact the developers directly.
January 16, 2019, 10:10:20 AM

You are just talking about one of the obvious sign of future scam. There are many similar things are available to identify that who are all going to pay you and who are all may run away by keep on informing you that "ICO is just extended and keep working for some more time". In an ICO, everything should be as per plan and should be informed well in advance otherwise we can go for suspecting them. The exception should be like this, the changes to already planned things should be announced in right time with proper reason.Maybe it is major part that can destroy the project or in other hand every one if the team leave the project. No update means no progress.
Yes, it will lead to destroy the project like it will be leading for earning bad reputation among the crypto community. Twitter for announcing own updates whereas telegram/discord channels are for interactive platform for having update. If they are silent, that will end up in scam in 99% of the cases. January 16, 2019, 09:52:32 AM
The behavior of the team of being irresponsible to update the community in the project is really a sign that there is something going wrong that they didn't want to let the community knows. Maybe it is major part that can destroy the project or in other hand every one if the team leave the project. No update means no progress.

I agree with you. Bounty telegram channels normally provide information about the activities in the bounty campaign. If the channel is not anymore managed, who else would update the participants about information relating their bounty and answers the inquiries of participants? I too joined Excolony but decided to go out as the channel does not update anymore.

I experienced the same thing with you. and it makes it tired to wait until I ignore it. I think we need a regulation that can be a protector for bounty hunters. and paid managers must always update every news about it, so that every effort we have made is not in vain
that's just now bakkt now begin to regulate futures a bit, prices change, then we will see only real projects. And this period just forget.

January 16, 2019, 09:28:43 AM
So the absence of updates and presence is one of the sure sign of failed or scam project, this is something I will always remember I have been to a lot of telegram that is empty and the bounty is running, this is a bad sign indeed and every bounty hunters should take this seriously.

yes, some of the bounties that I have participated in have not been paid until now. there are even more than a year, I don't really hope for all of that, especially in situations like this. so yes we must be careful to look for the truly consistent to pay. especially working with competent managers
January 16, 2019, 09:20:35 AM
I've also experienced the same thing, when we entered the bounty and the main telegram that we followed from the start as a general rule. Apparently the admin was never active and communicating to give further news about the development of the bounty. From this experience, do not repeat it for the next, because it will only waste our time in vain. Let us take this valuable experience and hope it will not happen again when participating in the bounty.
January 16, 2019, 07:58:22 AM
Usually a telegram channel is a place where you can get all the latest news about the project. If there is no activity in the telegram or there has not been anything written for several days, and also if there is a lot of spam that no one removes, then this is always a sign that something is wrong with the project.

I always participate in the bounty of campaigns with well-known managers, so I know that I won't have the same situation as you. But there is another problem that most bounty managers only know the team through Telegram, they do not meet in real life. If the project team cuts in contact with the bounty manager, the bounty hunter will have a big problem
January 16, 2019, 07:37:45 AM
Telegram channel is where people update information. But this is telegram channel for bounty so it doesn't matter. It is a place to solve problems for bounty hunters and managers often operate very little on it. So that is not a warning signal
January 16, 2019, 07:20:11 AM
Yes we can say it is a sign that something is not right in the bounty because when admin is not active there is no use to continue such bounties and we should not work for that bounty because there would be higher chance that you won't get paid in the end.
January 16, 2019, 07:00:26 AM
I usually find a bounty which hosted by popular campaign manager or bounty platform instead.
January 16, 2019, 06:57:11 AM
that was bad, if the "official' doesn't update anything and not giving any heads up about why they so quiet, I think it's better to consider the ICO was dead.

There are similar experiences and worse still is that
Bounty managers who drop updates on a daily basis still end up as scam
We just need more guile patience while doing bounty and be positive too
January 16, 2019, 06:15:51 AM
I have experienced something like this but it was at the beginning of starting the bounty if it wasn't this project called Kairos, for now I have always been careful to choose a bounty better to follow the bounty manager who has proven to pay
January 16, 2019, 06:08:52 AM
If the team do not communicate to the hunters regularly that is a red flag. Their intentions are not good then
towards the hunters ( they are buying time, or do not want to pay the hunters or hiding something etc. )

January 16, 2019, 05:26:07 AM
I definitely agree with you when the project team of even the bounty manager dont update the telegram group for a couple of days or week then there is a project with the ico or the project is a scam, there are even some terrible telegram groups that when you ask anything they dont agree with they ban you from the group and they are not only banning bounty hunters they are also ban investors , is that a sign that the project is scam?

Joining a bounty campaign under a manager who is not good or reputed here, will get you nothing but a waste of your expensive time. If it is true that admin of that telegram channel is not active anymore, I don't think it will be good to still continue with them.
January 16, 2019, 05:13:57 AM
Yes it's true, if the telegram channel that has never updated and does not provide information can be said to be a SCAM. Because Telegram is one of the media that is very important to discuss about the project.
I also chose to leave the project, because the telegram channel was never updated. and i think the project is dead.

January 16, 2019, 04:14:31 AM
nowadays there are quite a lot of bounty channels that are indeed unclear and almost fool many people. we really have to be careful in following bounties or ico. never updated social media is also a sign less good for an ico
January 16, 2019, 04:10:43 AM
the team is active in the bounty at least give without that the project runs and develops the better. When there is no news or updates be it on social media or telegrams they indeed become a question. an indication of the scam does exist but not necessarily also it is completely correct. but then too afraid better avoid this sort of thing.
January 16, 2019, 03:40:53 AM
Yes a lot of negative things that will happen because good project better of their channel or group admin and developer to communicate about the project with the community. For 2018 and 2019 a lot of projects like that so don't expect too much high and we have to be more careful.
January 16, 2019, 03:33:49 AM
Yeah no doubt, if the project or bounty campaign has no update on their telegram, there would be a chance that the bounty or project is just a scam. Even bounty manager do not attend or entertain on their members, definitely leave right away that project.
January 16, 2019, 03:33:24 AM
I feel sorry for you. I happen to meet Excolony bounty thread too but luckily I didn’t participate. And I agree with what you said; any bounty project with no updates in telegram or in any medium as they are obliged to is a sign of a scam project.
January 16, 2019, 03:31:23 AM
I sometimes encountered such a situation when admins did not appear on the network and this always resulted in the project dying and always ceasing to participate in such a bounty campaign.
January 16, 2019, 03:28:57 AM
It is possible that the project did not achieve any success, and the manager of the bounty just did not notify anyone!

I agree with you, it seems to be a warning to the bounty hunters when their team or manager doesn't work, which means they don't really care about their project.

This passive behavior of the development team can be caused by heavy workload to implement the project on time. But as a rule they warn that they will be busy for a while. But the fact that the bounty Manager does not get in touch - a symptom is not good, it is worth considering.

I did't experience like you but one of my friends joined similar bounty like you, my friend was also worried because there were no updates on telegram and my friend chose to leave

I just got out of Excolony bounty campaign I don't know if they will still pay bounty hunters, but if the bounty channel have no one on the team or the bounty manager is not login anymore in this forum this is a warning sign for bounty hunters to consider, do you have similar experience like this.
Maybe they have evaporated and your reward will also not have. Joining in bounty campaign that they will pay when ended private or pubic sale is really too risky. I no longer join in projects like that

I experienced that too and your right because inactive admins in telegram means the project is dead and no updates coming from the team. Admins and bounty managers are only following the dev so if there is no updates coming from the dev then that means it is going to die.
I recently did a bounty for and invested in the exchange Sobit. They ran the exchange for about 5 months until they deleted their Telegram accounts and made off with everyone's money.
I usually use the telegram group page of a project to assess the stability of the project. Those that are quick to respond to members' complain and are always feeding the community with updates even after the end of bounty campaign are more possible to be a real projects and not a scam
One more is the pin message a channel without an updated pin message is another warning sign usually this problems occur when the bounty is about to finish about two or three weeks, the ICO have generated funds before they show inactivity this is what I've noticed.
Communication is very important between managers and participants.
If no one communicates and updates your reports and other stuffs, you're just wasting a lot of things with that bounty. They already abandoned and left you guys so it's not really worth it for time to stay.

yeah, i've experienced that.
but i did not follow the bounty for a long time, i did not want to waste time with a bounty that did not have any activities and i also did not want to cheat many investors by becoming their campaign participation.

If there has been no activity on the bounty Telegram channel for more than a week from the program administrators then I would take that as a huge warning sign that the project is dead. Failure to update tables in a reasonable timescale is another red flag. Seen it more than once in the past 12 months and really hoping that things will turn around when the market does.
You absolutely right, when Admin or the Dev is not online for couple days, either in Telegram or in this Forum we can assume that the project is going sideways, or it might just a total scam from the start.
I don't usually join bounties, but I agree with the telegram channel with no activity even coming from the bounty manager that they are a possible scam. Usually telegram are one channel wherein you can converse with a lot of bounty participants and their concern about the project, but if its a dead channel then you need to get out of that bounty so that you won't be sucked in by those scammers.
