Topic: Bounties managed by team themselves (Read 830 times)
For a successful bounty management, experienced.bounty managers should be employed but it’s rather unfortunate that some projects want to manage their own bounty campaigns. A few of them are able to that successfully but the a great number of them do not do well. To me, professionals should be allowed to carry out bounty campaigns whiles project team itself focuses on administrative aspects of the project.
That is true, when a team becomes the sole manager of their bounty, that gives them the total control to implement and change any rule the way they want and also the way it will suit them, without putting into consideration the bounty hunters. The painful part of it all is that, changes to the rules won't be implemented until the bounty is over, then changes will be implemented, and the Bounty hunters who contest too much will likely end up losing their rewards, thus the Importance of a bounty manager who is not among the project team. Also, there have been bounties managed by a separate bounty manager where the team also enforces their rules, but most times it isn't that bad like when the team fully manages it.
@aemma. buddy next time you should really read up first or try to check at least on whats the date of the last responses of this thread and if you do try to look up this had been already inactive for 5 months nowand you had just necrobumped it which is really a violation of this forum. Be careful next time with this.
In topic reply about bounties managed up by the team themselves, it isnt really had to have this one as long they would really be paying in the end of the bounty.
Most cases here when they are the ones who do managed is that they can really have the full control neither they would just simply
ignore payments later on.
Thing here with those bounties handled out by known managers of this community is that you can at least have the confidence yet you know that they do
find out the best project out there plus theyve been choosing in projects which seems to be legit and worthy.

I dont see any problem if a team will manage the bounty as long as there is one member from the team that knows how to handle bounty campaign its ok. It will lessen thier expenses if they manage the bounty rather than hiring a bounty manager.
It is ok if this person from team is responsible only for bounty and some minor tasks. If he is a lead programer, then managing bounty campaign will be his least favorite task. I dont remember bounty campaign name, but their manager was part of the team and he devote time to bounty only when he had free time at work. That was awful, he might not fill spreadsheet for weeks and then just fill it with same info from previous period, without even checking if the work was done.
The manager is very active updating the participants and that's what we have needed before.

I have the same thoughts as you. frankly, I will skip a crypto project that does not use a trusted BM here.The trusted Bounty Manager on this forum has the full power to stop any ongoing project that turns out to be a scam.
75% of scam projects that don't pay hunters at all in this forum, are handled by bounty managers who come from their own team.

theyre doing that would really just mess up everything.Im not really that much convinced about lessening the expense yet hiring wont really be that costly if they do really matter with the campaigns outcome if its been
handled well and organized via those experienced managers if they dont care then they would probably handle by there own but we can actually tell the difference to those people who does have experience
and to those who doesnt have.

There are many bounty managers who are more motivated to get money for their actions and i don't respect them. Also everyone knows that hunters work hard to promote a project from the beginning so it is important to send them money at the right time. If a project makes bad rules for hunters, then the manager can't do anything by protesting alone so we all need to protest together.
You are right, managers can't do much alone, they need support from all participants, and only together we can do something. Bounty management is important for the project, it's how the project can get attention from many investors, but the project has to have a good team and unique idea, only the bounty is not enough for the project to be developed and to become successful in long term.

Even if a bounty manager manages the bounty campaign this still doesn't guarantee the payment to every participants, escrow is the answer but still if the project ends up a failure the escrowed token won't be of any use again
no one is immune from this, I also participated in companies that are managed by the company itself, and everything went well, but sometimes it was not good, but it also happens with trusted managers, one company is successful, the second is not
I see many bounties nowadays that are manage by thier team member and its fine with, and with the rules being change as long as it was stated on the first place that there changes in bounty theres no problem , but if they change the rules after the bounty campaign its not good.
your fine with it because you may not be a victim yet but for others including op , thats what they feel . they feel really bad about it . im not a fan of bounties myself but im with the op and i feel that its better to see bounties that are managed under a seperate manager that is already well known on this forum . this isnt only for the op or for the other users that prefer it but its for the whole comunity , we can lessen the scams that way and we can lessen the reputation of cryptos from becoming bad .

I'm not here to discourage you about bounty campaigns that are managed by the project team themselves, I'm here to tell you that you need to be extremely cautious, I've noticed that team managing campaigns themselves is not good
1. They have all the freedom of doing any how with your rewards
2. They can change certain rules that aren't reasonable, just because it's their project and they are handling the distribution they are free to do some bad things
3. Bounty Managers are very very important, you can get them nailed for not facing the team to force them to do distribution but you can't fight the team yourself
I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees things this way, or am I?

i do not agree with your post, i have also worked on campaigns managed by the team members themselves and things went smoothly as they would with a bounty manager, all this rules you mention can also be altered by a bm because this are the rules apply to almost all bounty campaign manged by team or not,
to me, bm's are just like middlemen between the hunters and team, whereas the bm have less power over the campaign because they are subjected to all the directives of the project team. so basically it is the same thing.
You should mention that reputed bounty managers. There's a lot of bad history that bounty managers scammed bounty managers but team paid the managers. Like yahoo, Julerz, Murat, etc. They maximum time hold the bounty coins for hunters. I think if they are legit and think this project will work in the future then they should pay the hunters. If they scammed their coins they they will get a negative reputation. which is not a good sign for the project.

I think if a bounty is really legit and the dev team is concern on the name of their project they will pay bounty hunters on their work to protect their name for scam accusations1. They have all the freedom of doing any how with your rewards

I was announce a scam bounty but letter them i see many newbies hunter promote in scam bounty. So they should analysis more about a bounty then going on participating. Basically i would like participate those bounty where they have confirmed listing exchange.
