OP, scam isn't moderated on here. All they did to bestchange were to prevent people to get scammed since their pay rates look too high for new campaign. Maybe (few?) of red trust have been removed since they are paying their participants.
While on altcoin bounty, we don't know how to prevent them to scam bounty hunters since they will pay with their own token which still hasn't any value yet, it's very different with btc paid campaign
Topic: Altcoins Bounty Hunters are almost alone! (Read 813 times)
Is seems like bounty hunting is slowly going out in this forum due to almost bounty campaigns are not profitable anymore, maybe they looked for another way to earn money and leave bounty hunting.
Its impossible for forum moderators to tell people on here about which project is good and which one is bad because they don't know themselves, you have to do your own research and have it in your mind that you may never get paid, this is a bounty hunter's risk, you should quit if you can't endure
There are too many alts bounty in the alts section i don't think the moderators can't do that work of checking each and every alt bounty in the forum unlike btc paying campaign that are very limited with less participants,
I guess it is left for participants of this campaign's to do research as much as they can to afford joining a scam bounty, although that not very possible but still better to do so.
All bounty problems will never go away anytime soon, its better to be the one choosing very carefully, the truth is not all bounty projects will be successful, if you are the type expecting every single bounties you joined to pay do not bother, 2017 bounty days are over
Exactly, 2017, bounties are over because at that time we have seen many good companies launched their bounties along with the ICO, now we are seeing something different from the companies but still, they are not surviving in the market. It is impossible for a bounty hunter to expect a bounty payment in every bounty you participate.
Those days are gone and its impossible for us to come back into that particular state when it comes to bounty thing.
Investors trust on projects are already gone due to lots of scams that do happen in the past thats why it do heavily affect
bounty hunters as well yet ICO is almost dead nowadays and been replaced by IEO's.Im even still surprised that there
were still people who do engage on bounty hunting even if they do know the probability on making money is very very slim
or even considered as impossible thing.There were still some or few numbers but i would say it isnt really worth for the time
and effort you spent.

Maybe due to the big number of altcoins bounty that is why not all of them are properly investigated, and you can't blame people for only investigating btc paying campaign as they are more attractive compared to altcoins bounty right now, so there are more eyes looking on it.
This is a community which we are in, if we care for the entire community we should help each other to make this forum a better forum for us, we let people know about the possible risk of a project that will likely to be scam and that would help a lot as a warning. Actually mate, I have been participating in bounty in the past but I loss my time since most of the bounty I participated ends paying tokens that are almost worthless but I understand the situation as the bearish market could also affected the project.

Altcoin bounty hunters aren't going to co-operate because I've raised such thought in the past, new bounty hunters most especially don't care what they get or how they are been treated by developers and bad bounty managers, some bounty hunters are even ready to work for weeks and get pennies like 10$ in return, seem big in their eye
Even 10$ is an exaggeration. Bounty tokens are nothing more than shitcoins. But when we have a bunch of users in this forum willing to get down to their knees and beg with open palms for these shitdrops then nothing can be done about them. They are not even in this section of the forum which is of discussion of services and probably most of them are not even literate enough to read these posts.So it is of no use trying to make them stop. They have to stop by their free will.
This is not always the case with bounties, sometimes the project that was never listed on exchange will be the one to pay good rewards to bounty hunters and some times listed bounty projects will only share a penny of rewards among bounty hunters, you gotta take the risks
Both those scenarios are ending up the same way. Selling the coins which are worth nothing yeilds zero coins for the hunter and not having anywhere to sell is also zero coins. There is no risk/reward talk here. It is a complete scam, so to speak. 
Bounty hunters have to be independent when it comes to choosing where to participate, doing our own research before participating is our responsibility and we cant rely to others help or wait for their judgement in a particular project.
Nowadays its wise to join in btc paying campaign unlike in bounties that pays alts/tokens. There's a big difference because in bounties you have to wait for the campaign to end before you can get the rewards. Aside from that there's no assurance if the tokens you receive has value or can make it to be listed in good exchanges.
Nevertheless the decision is yours on where to participate and whats more beneficial because you have the option.

Your opinion is actually right, no escrow after exposing the project to the public. I think it will be good if we can have the rule to be paying all hunters with trading tokens and not a future promise that the dev team might even ignore the road map and failing to deliver the product as expected.
Yes, you have a point, people should stop free promoting! If a bounty campaign gets a trading coin as a payment, then that will be more valuable for the bounty hunters and project owner both! Because people will promote overwhelming and the project will get more reach to investors! Because all the future promises mostly lie nowadays!
Bounty campaign are paying but the token or coins you get are no value after release. Most of the project are not worth it after release they just want to get the quota goal by selling token and coins and after that they will give bounty hunters token and coins with no value or not listed to any exchanges.
They always abuse this just to promote their project and make a profit to sell no value project. they should be relay on the value of token or coin directly from exchanges. If many people wants their project they should relay on exchanges and let people decide if they want to buy. More buyers means it will increase the value of the token or coin. If they accepting early sales of their token/coins well it's 90% sure that the project is not worth it and it's wasting time if you promote them.

You are absolutely right, and that's why bounty hunter should be careful about choosing bounty campaigns. We can't ignore how bounty campaign effects on a new project! Then why thousands of people's work will not be paid, or they get payment by values less coin?The crypto world is being filled by new dishonest people! That's why I think bounty hunter needs to be strong to raise question against the bounty terms!

BTC paying bounties are better as we know it but you are talking about altcoins that will definitely pay bounty hunters in their tokens, they are more risky than the projects that wants to pay bounty hunters in BTC so no one can give you any guarantee how the end of the project will be
He was talking about why some members are putting more of their effort to identify the scam coin on the bitcoin campaign rather than altcoin campaign. it doesn't have a relationship with the payment that has already used by both. It looks like if you have no clue about what already discussed in this thread. Any campaign has no guarantee until it will use escrow or middle party to make sure if that was not a scam campaign.

this is because the altcoin bounty section are more crowded and many bounties are around therfor many people cant foccus on one to investigate , they are confused but look at the services section , only few campaigns are out that pays for btc so people easily notice it and investigate it . but what you say is still wrong , both alts and btc paying campaign are monitored by users here even by moderators . they can flagged it as soon as possible if the campaign is guilty , .

So you expect to be paid something and not nothing at all? Then they may very well pay you some shitcoins of no value after the project has completed its bounty promotions. See there is no difference in hunting for zero value coins and then claiming to be the owner of some must-pay contract. The bounty hunter has to accept the fact that the tokens are useless and thus move on from them. Unless there comes a system of regulation, which is not likely there will be similar projects making a fool of every hunter.Why not go for the bitcoin paying campaigns?
This is sad but true that altcoin bounty hunters are almost alone in this forum! No one is here to help you to find a better project to promote! But look at BTC paying campaign! If a BTC paying campaign launched, many Hero, Legendary member starts investigating hard! When they find anything suspicious they tag the bounty manager and keep suggesting people to not promote project! Even they can't wait even one week! For example, BestChange launched Signature and Social Campaign, I got accepted in Social and received payment, but many high ranked people tagged the manager because he did not go through Escrow! They did not give them even one week. Though Bestcahnge got a couple of red trust because of suspicious activities, I have no problem with that!
But look at the altcoin section, no one is here to support you to find a better project, everyone keeps suggesting research yourself, even if your well researched successful project not paying you, still they won't support you! So, from yesterday, I started thinking that Altcoin bounty hunters are very alone! Some guy is working to catch scammers but no one is here to suggest you a better project!
There should be some requirements in the altcoin bounties as Bitcoin bounties, which will be helpful to fight against scammers. Such as having a some amount kept in escrow. At the end, when there is a issue related to payment, this amount should be distributed to the hunters. But look at the altcoin section, no one is here to support you to find a better project, everyone keeps suggesting research yourself, even if your well researched successful project not paying you, still they won't support you!

The suggestion of researching first is correct. What kind of support do you want from the people in this section? choosing all the way what are the projects that people should join? If relying to someone's opinion is going to be like that, someone is likely to be blamed if the project he has told you to join and supported you with that started not to pay. Actually, there are too many volunteers that are giving their research if they have found out the project is likely to be a scam.
