Topic: Bitcointalk Bounty Hunters' Union? (Read 241 times)

The admin usually does not care about these things and he cannot monitor all the bounties started too, having an union for bounty hunters is a good dream that will not be fulfilled, expect to see regulations being implemented by government that could cripple fraud in this market, other than that there is nothing you could do unless you personally investigate every project and start reviewing.

It does not sound that it is going to be successful, even though it is a good idea. There are so many nuances that you got to analyze and solve them.

Good luck, but I think you will have to exert a lot of effort to get people to join. I have tried organising people after we as a group were scammed. I was successful in organising a campaign to get Axpire to pay what they owed but have had less success so far organising all the people who were scammed by Dylan Sharkey and IUNGO.  I think you should concentrate your activity on creating of a core group of activists that are prepared to use social shaming against ICO's that cheat bounty hunters out of their rewards.

Man, I do not really thing that it's gotta be sucseed. Better to make other project, this one will not boom for sure.

The idea is pretty good, but I'm not sure that it will work in practice. Perhaps, such an alliance will need to simply work more closely with the administration of this forum. After all, you can put a number of conditions in the relationship of bounty hunters before such ICO teams will be able to provide on this forum their information about the opening of the ICO campaign. At the same time, it will also be possible to discuss other problems of bounty hunters, such as the current merit system, which was good in theory, but in practice proved to be completely inoperative.

It’s sounds like really awesome my concern here goes for Bounty managers also . Recent days there is lots of new bies allowed to participate in blog and media and also social media campaign. But finally these people were getting huge part of distribution. Even some bounty portals not having any transparency neither they support for project nor for bounty hunters.
My question is here
If any ico project team can’t able to handle bounty campaign how they will finish the project
Bounty managers are taking advantage and getting huge part of the distribution

For above mentioned everything forum has to make strict rules for these bounty managers . As far I am seeing big corruption is happening . So please any one in forum admin group please make some rules for bounty manger . Atleas ask them to put some escrow amount for announcing any bounty.
So that they will pick only genuine participants because thier money at risk.

With crypto world being a world of uncertainty where even the investors are at risk of their interest, It won't make any difference for bounty hunters who abide by any terms the issuer of bounty makes before, during or even after the campaign. Though the forum itself can make some changes to make the bounty campaign relatively homogeneous in terms.

Let me share this precious Air drop and bounty info with you guys!!

There is the KStarCoin which is from Korea.
They already have 8million users! Feel like it’s legit.
They say they are gonna crowdfund to hold K-pop concerts all over the world.
I saw their white paper.I think they have clear vision for themselves.
It was easy for me to make coins from there. You can just join the chat room(https://t.me/joinchat/GeOUSUZPyVpuOHvUMHmKkQ)
until the pre-sale is over and that’s it.
Another way was signing up for the website and share it on SNS.(http://k-co.in/uYDImJcT)
If your friends join, you gain more. The more the better, guys!! I already got some.
Good luck guys!

Your suggestion is really good. The hunters already experienced many scam of ICO and an irresponsible managers.
The escrowed reward suggestion is one of the important thing. it is ensure that ICO dev will pay hunters.

Bounty hunters come from all over the world and have different cultural backgrounds!

Maybe some people like to be alone, others like a group!

Many reward managers also have their own telegraph group, with many bounty hunters in it!

The idea of a bounty alliance is great, but there may be some problems with it!

Yeah, I do agree, I'm one of them I hate centralized stuff, too, especially countries and their taxation policies. That's why I was thinking more about some sort of a "people's union" that would be run by people, with functions and tasks as the primary means of running the whole thing - something like a "blockchain union". For example members could pick tasks that they would like to do, or verify those that have been already done: docs verification, calls to employers, writing the emails, investigations about complains, or anything else. Kill me, if I know how to pull it out, ha, ha
  

Yep, that would be a problem. Here's what I think, and you can call me romantic or enthusiast but I actually believe that people can manage to pull it out without money. First, I believe that the representatives from all the language communities must be present in the "top management", and the system must function in such a way that they can be replaceable - so, kind of a system with "top functions" instead of the "top people".

For example, members from the Croatian section can verify campaigns from Croatia, and members from the Indonesian community can verify ICO employers from their land. If it's completely transparent, people will be able to pick up the different tasks from some kind of a board or something (like verifying the docs, making calls to check the employers, meeting with them in person, checking the work of the escrows, or controlling the work of other members who performed some tasks.) If a certain task get enough confirmations - like on the blockchain - than it is considered done. Just a thought, though

Yeah, the "open club" sounds great, nice thinking. I was thinking more like 70-80% of the bounty workers as the force that will be enough to make some rules.

But what if we can meet with them face to face, in person? If a union have enough members from different lands, we would be able to make every sort of verification you can imagine. Then again, it has to become viral among the bounty hunters if we want anything like this to happen.

I don't know how these companies charge for their services, if anyone knows anything about it, maybe he can share it here. I believe that lots of ICOs with limited or no campaign funds at all would prefer a free labor force on the Bitcointalk. Anyway, they are centralized institutions, companies, and they can make their own rules outside the forum. If the union become large enough, it would be easier for it to dictate rules for the labor force and ICOs on the forum, rules that will protect all of us better. On the other hand, it would be the first union of the sort, so who knows what might happen

Yes, me too I'm a professor of linguistics and a freelance translator, but I really like this crypto stuff and I hate governments. So much that I'm ready to sleep less. I believe that people can manage anything they want if they have the will to do it. If the idea of a "people's union" that would be run by people catch up, who knows, maybe we might all be pleasantly surprised

Nice idea, man! I'd like it become a real Union and will  help all of us to resist better against any scam projects and those tricky Bms who likes to change rules after start of a campaign

Sounds like a brilliant idea for a legitimate organization. I for one think that this will be a daunting task to complete successfully, but nothing is impossible. How would you go about organizing this whole plan? The thought of a union brings to mind the thought of a centralized society. Centralization means one thing, authority!
    Many early adopters of crypto joined the movement for the simple fact that it went against traditional views of the modern day establishment. People around the world felt like it put the financial decisions back into the hands of the people. Though I'm all for regulation, being that it will help stabilize the current price fluctuations within market, many will stand against it, being that many members here are from countries where everything is centralized, and see the blockchain as a divine call for the little guy (your regular average joe).

Not necessarily to have a union,because the only problems with the campaigns where are ,less transparency,no assurance that those people behind the team arent going to runaway,that is why these bounty managers should be asking for some IDs and video call to those team behind the projects that they have accepted to,record the video call for you to be sure that they wont runway.

A collective effort by most bounty hunter, will help to foster this union. It is a good idea to have a union. This made me to remember what i told my friend some times ago, as regards a campaign we participated in , where we were not paid. I said, had it been there is a union, it will help to guide again this mishap. By having a union, project owners will be more be more coordinated and sincere in rewarding bounty hunters at the end of their work for them.

In this case, I agree with ofeefee. I think that this is a good idea, but in a result you have can make that the like an open club, in which will to participate percent 20 man with this forum.

Idea is not bad, although there are few things that I find not catchy for me. First of all who will be behind this union? There must be some hierarchy and thus those people at top that manage it will they manage it for free or will they try to make money out of this somehow.
The idea regarding KYE aka Know Your Employer doesn't guarantee anything. Do you understand that people who plan scam and do it on professional level will fake this details? This is how they managed in the past whenever they've required to give KYC because of their campaigns/partnerships they provided false data.

You will probably have ICOs that still will play outside of this union. For instance you even have websites such as bountyhive and bounty0x which don't go through forum.

People made it possible for bounties as they are ready to work for the chance to get money in the future. Mostly people that take part in bounties use their spare time to do so.

I think this idea needs to be well disseminated so that so many people can be aware of it and by so doing, co!e up with their own ideas in form of contributions from their thoughts. I like to always see ideas like this, which will help to foster proper bounty participations.

This would be better if those bounty manager wont be too lazy to check if the project or the team behind the project is legit! Most of the scam ICOs are came from the bounty managers which is why we need to check these campaigns for use to be sure that we arent joiming scam projects.Suspiciously these scam projects are somehow connected with the bounty managers!
