Topic: Bounties managed by team themselves - page 2. (Read 864 times)
I've learned the hard way, this is true honestly, few projects that introduced bounty campaigns without using a reputable bounty manager most times cheat bounty hunters, they might sent out half tokens or reduce bounty allocation or no payment at all
I saw so many newbies make mistakes like this, participate in a bounty project without asking who's the bounty manager. They don't know what a bounty manager from the team could do and though every bounties are the same with management. Only when all things crash down hard that they realize it.
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 see the difference who runs the company, if the team wanted to do so, then it will be the same with the hired BM, they decide what rules and changes, the team wanted to reduce the POOL, it will reduce it, and not the bounty Manager, the team wanted to conduct a KYC, it will tell the bounty Manager, so there is no difference 1.

It depends because not all the times bounty managers would really give out that fight that you are expecting on in times where the bounty didnt tend to pay off their participant.
We know that BM's are just their employee too which do expect a salary from them and doesnt have the full control or capability when problems arise when it comes to payments.
You do got some point though but it wont work most of the time.If the project team wont tend to pay in the first place then theres no manager can fight off and force them out.
BM who already has experience at least knows that there will be a scam at the beginning of the project, because it is impossible for him to do the work without in-depth research on the background of the project.
although it does not have full power but at least knows when to stop or continue.
I dont have any problem if a bounty campaign is manage by the team members themselves and not being managed by an unknown member or low rank member without any trust.

I'm sure all the masters here seem to be very careful because they are more aware of this, but even though they are careful, there are still some who are deceived because of less or less complete information, but at least we have to review it first so we can make sure yourself how they work and usually there are certain reasons because they change the rules right 1.

In some cases you are right that bounty manage by team have a little problem.If the price is good after the bounty,they are trying to create a problem.But all the bounty manage by team are not same.Such as Oikos and many other project.
But bounty manage by bounty manger has a problem too.Sometimes bounty manager steal the money and coin which is reserved for the bounty hunters.Recently Morcrypro exchange has arranged a bounty by some bounty mananger but when project gave the Eth and coin,BM decided to steal it rather to distribute.
So before joining the bounty you should check the BM's reputation too .

I think they are the same. I think its just better to look for a bounty manager that has good record on their past bounty sometimes its not the bounty mangers fault when distribution got delayed I think its the dev team fault and who BM would not want to distribute the reward for there hunters? 1.

I prefer the bounty thread to be managed by a paid manager bounty who already hold the coin / token of a project because payment is guaranteed so there is no reason for the team not to pay
And then that project is not listed in exchanges, and you only get useless tokens with no value? I only care about the quality of the project, if they have a good project then I believe their bounty will be the same.
You are true, it is not the best strategy to manage a bounty campaign by itself because it takes a lot of time and effort and after some time they behave to the bounty hunters more angrily.
But for example, Oikos, as I wear in my signature is totally different, they fulfill all promises on time!

I like what bounty detective team are doing presently, there is no going back once a bounty got introduced by bounty detective because they use escrow, they handle the distribution at their own convenient time, you don't have to worry about not getting paid because all tokens are in bounty detective hand
I agree with that, with that it is very certain that the salary will definitely be shared in a while. It is indeed true that this makes it convenient, and I am sure that in the future this way will definitely reduce the scem project as well then to the worries of bounty hunters. will disappear over time 
Well not all bounty that managed by 3rd parties will distribute on time because they are paid managers that paid by project itself to run the bounty on this forum, so when the project ask the manager to extend or postpone the bounty , manager will follow and listen to what they said.
as bounty hunter who participant on their bounty, what we can do is only obey to what they said, we only have 2 options that LEAVE or STAY on that bounty, thats all.

So, how could I trust a project when they fail to hire a bounty manager, that looks like something I wouldn't invest into myself and if there is bounty that they are doing themselves, that means I will not be joining the bounty campaign and work for them neither since I do not trust the project neither.
why would they hire other bounty managers if on their team they got hired people that can manage the bounty with thier bitcointalk account?
When a team manages their own bounty that tells me they do not even have enough money to pay for a bounty manager and they have too much time to spend on bounty managing because they are doing it themselves and when they do it themselves that means its a lot of time spent on it, so instead of spending money they are spending time. That is not a good sign at all, a team should be able to pay for the bounty manager and have enough money but not enough time and need a lot more workers.

To insure themselves many bounty managers write in the rules that they reserve the opportunity to change the conditions of participation in the bounty campaign at any time.In other words, they can enter KYC, cut the amount allocated for the campaign, and so on. So the presence or absence of a bounty Manager involved does not give any guarantees
For me, i think Bounty campaigns managed by the team are always good and easy, if i bring into account pnk tokens; the kleros project, it was a fascinating, easy to do Bounty.
But still it is up to us as individuals to choose which Bounty to join, do your own research and decide
Yea some will say it's good to join bounties that's been managed by team and some will say it's bad, it's all about the difference experience we all had, it's your choice to make a pick and if you choose wrong you don't have to say next time you won't join bounties managed by team again, experience can never be the same. But still it is up to us as individuals to choose which Bounty to join, do your own research and decide
I dont know mate even the bounties run with bounty manager sometimes the payment can be delayed, postponed or never distributed. Imagine the project run by team it self, i think its not a good choice. I thinks this is a one of important bounty manager for us.
Managers act like the point person when in terms of bounty rewards with a legit bounty managers participants have a good chance to receive rewards,
Even in some cases where bounty managers even have a good reputation there are still developers who are not honest and doesn't want to release
the specific fund that allocated for the bounty hunters.

I have been working in bounty companies since 2017 and have already gone through many different companies. I can say that the situations were different. There were such bounties, which were managed as the teams of companies themselves, there were individual managers and that some of them had problems from time to time. I cannot say how and with whom it is better to participate, but during these 3 years many managers and teams have shown themselves and many have discredited themselves. I agree on one thing that it is necessary to choose bounty companies more carefully and pay more attention to proven bounty managers.
This is not entirely blamed by anyone. Sometimes the team that handles the bounty always has the right promise at the time of payment to their septas, if on the contrary they will certainly make rules with them so I think it's better with the bounty manager who has long managed the bounty compared with the team itself
The point is in the assessment of each because not everything you talk about becomes a reality so I think we have to follow our conscience for which is more trusted in handling bounties.
