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?

What' you've said are all possibilities that their team will do but some of the points you presented has been done by even independent bounty managers, the developers are the ones giving bounty managers orders on how the project will proceed, even independent bounty manager cannot break their agreement, it lies on the trustworthiness of the project.

I think it all depends on the project itself and not entirely on who will manage the campaign.

I have experience joining in a campaign managed by member of the team but it turn out well.

Nevertheless a trusted manager is still better to have a high chance the rewards will be given accordingly.

The opportunities for the project become to scam is widely open. They use newbie copper member account and they can buy it cheaply through this forum so as they are free to post anything and promote anything without worrying that the account he uses is banned.

That will be different for the project who uses legendary or reputable/trusted account in this forum. They will be very carefull to choose a project that will be promoted. They will always try to build up a positive trust in this forum in order to they have another project in the other day there will be many bounty hunter who will promote it.

Well, its all just be the same because neither the manager is part of the team or they hire one then it doesnt make a difference because if they do intently wouldnt pay since from the start they wont pay up until the end but somehow you do have points that bounty managers that had been hired would really able to make some follow-ups in regards of payments unless if the bm itself is a fraud then he wouldnt care at all.

Overall, bounty hunting becomes a shit activity thing to be done nowadays.Its never been worth for our time but there are still people who do keep hoping on making big money on this one

but to tell that those golden days of bounty hunting is already over since that last bull run.

No, you are not only person, i think many hunters also saw that in many times. I won't say that every bounty projects are bad which are managed by team themselves cause i did work some good bounty projects which also managed by team themselves. But it's true that now days it's rare to see that. I agree that BM is important because MB work like 3rd party between Team and Hunters. So they can trust each other but i also found some bounty projects that they cheat hunters after finished their campaign (but they hired a MB though). DigitalBits one of them. So hunters should choose legit projects and work with under legit MB.

I agree with you, i personally don't prefer part of the team managing the bounty campaign because they always seems to be too restrictive when it comes to awarding proper stakes for work done. Again, i noticed that it is always more easier for teams to default and delay payments when it's one of them managing the campaign.

When it was managing by the trusted team and the payment will be caused by it has direct cooperation to the team. You must take a look at oikos and it was getting handled by the internal (a team member) and everything can be done instantly. The communication is much easier too. there will always pros and cons.

Yes they have freedom to do it but if you trust the team why afraid? You don't need to be afraid as you can see many bounty manager show the allocation for the bounty hunter if you have doubt you can compute it so you can be satisfied that's why you are part of a hunter to react of they do wrong and manager give you satisfied answer.

Are you sure that you have noticed all team managing campaigns themselves are not good? All of them? or only some of them? Please do more research about it.
And please see on my signature. It is Bestchange. You know, Bestchange team does their own campaign managing and they are really profesional, legit, pay all of the participants very well, provide trusted and also professional participant selections. In fact, Bestchange (self-campaign managing) pay me with BTC, it is legit, isn't it? Can it be said that this is not good? That is why you must do more reaserch on it before judging all of them. You should say "several" or "most".

Yeah, bounty manager is good enough and they alos help us and the team to manage with professional ways. I also appreciate them because thye have worked very well and hardly.
The most important thing is not only on the BM but on the project itself. We must be careful in choosing a bounty of new projects.

Most of your points apply to all bounties, not just the ones that are managed by the team.

Very few bounty managers take control of the rewards before they begin the bounty. Therefore the team can simply do whatever they like at any point, and the bounty manager will have little to no say in the matter since they don't hold the coins.

The only way you can effectively avoid these issues is if you only participate in bounties where the rewards are escrowed by the manager or someone else impartial.

This is not necessary the case, sometimes even if a member of the team manages a bounty that bounty can still come out great depending on the project, I think there are few successful campaigns managed by team, between, if you look at it from the bm perspective, the bm only managed the bounty and has nothing to do with reward distribution so if a team will behave bad they can still do it even if the campaign was managed by a bm.

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

There are some of their bounty projects they don't have total control, like Basic Finance project they promoted last time, bounty hunters made several complaints against the distribution by the team and Bounty Detective said they can't do anything aside the issue because the team project were the ones in charge of distribution, some hunters completed their KYC and were denied access to their login into their account.

To be honest, bounty managers are not some kind of god that you should completely trust them just because they ain't from the team. Maybe only the good and trusted bounty managers could really make sure your profit but I put not very well-know bounty managers on the same level of bounty project managed team themselves.

I can understand what you mean, and all of them are actually true, but ofcourse only for some of bounties. I have been experienced the same thing so many times, and the worst case is the project are not paying out the participant and acting like the bounty are never happened. The best scenario of bounty are it's being managed by high-trusted bounty managers, and the bounty funds are already being escrowed.

I think it's a project to project-based there are projects where the manager belongs to their team and able to satisfy the needs of all participants, like Oikos there was an issue in the past, but they managed to resolved it and they have distributed the token to their participants like they've promised, if the team is reputable I don't think there will be an issue at all.

There will be problem if the project failed to raise softcap and they want to proceed in launch, meaning the team will never release the exact amount they promised or have already on spreadsheet, it's what's happening with bitwings project presently

There are pros and cons if the bounty campaign is managed by projects team member:

Cons - he might be not as professional and experienced as bounty managers from the forum.
Pros - he is on short leg with the project. If hunter does not understand something, he might quickly receive a help (in case there is no ANN topic).

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

I agree on all your points between an independent manager and a project by their team I always prefer independent manager, because they will always serve the cause and interest of the project, they will never guaranty anything, they can always change the rules to favor them, so beware of projects like this that are managed by the project.

Not all of them are like that but many of them are.

You have all the means to choose the bounty you are going to join. You're the ones that will decide which bounty you'll be facing and joining with your participation.

In the beginning, if you see that they are no good in managing, you are free to leave and join another.
