Escrow is the best strategy, to those saying that it's the team choice well if the team values the work of bounty hunters they will have no choice but to go escrow, only those who want to cheat bounty participants will go against using escrow, using escrow will even give bounty participants more confidence to work at their best
Yes, because the average escrow chosen by the project team is someone who has been completely honest in managing project assets or assets for the bounty, but have you ever imagined that the escrow would divert or run away with everything?

You will probably end up with nothing if you plan to wait for escrow bounties always because not all good projects will use escrow strategy and even not all escrow bounties will bring you positive results
Yes, because there are also many who don't wait for the escrow bounty who don't get anything, so in this case I think both are very much needed, be it escrow in a bounty or a bounty that doesn't have escrow, I think it's almost the same, because Escrow is also a human being who can carry out his responsibilities as an escrow.

You had a very nice idea tho I don't think any project wants to do that unless there is strong pressure from everyone, not just bounty hunters alone. Why paying a fee to conduct bounty aka escrow as long as no one can force them to do that?
they have to do that to actually attract more people and investors to invest on their projects, i would rather to join on those projects that store the coins or bounty rewards to trustworthy escrow, rather than blindly picking the projects as much as you can where the majority of them will reward you nothing. i didn't say that no escrow bounty is bad but it's recommended to choose the great one.
Great idea but it seems difficult to make because it applies its new rules and leave an old habit, i really agree with your assertions but sometimes we will cry for token ashes
If taking risks isn't fun to you then it's not your place to be, do not bother to be a bounty hunter, not all bounty managers and project team will accept escrow and that doesn't mean the projects won't be successful
it is impossible to make big money without risks. the cryptocurrency market provides many opportunities for those people who can risk their money and do the correct analytics of the coins in which they invest

Honestly there is no way I would ever trust a bounty that doesn't use an escrow. Why would an escrow be a problem? Think about it, if they are so legit and will pay why do you think they will not use an escrow? However you should also know that there are sometimes technical stuff in the way, for example there is release date and ICO is on still funding process, that means they are still not giving out money to people who even paid for it, they are still not launched so it totally checks out. Because at the end of the day if you can't give money to anyone, how can you give it to bounty hunters? But if it s a regular one where people have money of, that means they need escrow for sure. I personally never been part of a project myself that early one, but was part of one that was 2 years old and tried to revive and we paid the escrow a hefty amount just so he could help us out, he was both escrow but also bounty manager as well so it came out great.
In addition to what TS offers, I would also exclude the phrase: "the developer team can change the terms of the bounty campaign at any time" and similar wording. Otherwise, it turns out to be a one-sided game in which bounty hunters are always on the losing side.
There have been so many people who have written posts like this before but in fact the forum admin will never listen to hunter complaints because they don't have enough time to take care of it, for bounty payments it is a matter for the bounty manager and the project team
Will it be wise if this forum put up a request that ALL NEW PROJECTS EXPECTING TO RUN BOUNTIES SHOULD PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY BOUNTY OR run an ESCROW.
The fund will be use to settle hunters should incase project owners Refuse to pay hunters Or decides to play tricks with hunters payment after a successful bounty campaign. For over a long period, hunters has been crying and wailing about successful campaigns that has refused to make payment. there are new campaigns on-going and more projects will run bounty campaigns sooner or later. the issue of payment is still a lingering problem here with No solid profound solution. Apart from the fact that some projects has the ANN Thread labelled as SCAMS, it is still do not offer solutions to payments.
the idea above is just a suggestion.. we all hope that a perfect solution will solve this issue of projects refusing to settle hunters here and will promote this platform.
This thread for me is really substantial and I would strongly agreed to what is being said. We, bounty hunters also need to have assurance that once that a bounty campaign/project gets done and become successful we also our partake from what we have work and having settlement with the project developer from the very beginning will help both sides to make a successful project.

A more realistic and do-able suggestion especially to those new projects whose looking for the help of many bounty hunters. It is really good to set that kind of standard, it is a win-win situation in both sides. It can also lessen those projects that turns out to be a fake, bogus or scam project. I would definitely agree to this kind of suggestion.

Bounty promotion is only for the strong, I haven't seen a good project that uses escrow to pay bounty hunters this year and that the token start surging, most escrow projects I see are all nonsense projects, Cartesi bounty don't use escrow, even oikos is the same too
There is a manager name julerz12 who uses escrow for payment. Even its altcoin project he managed to secure the bounty funds. But I read on the service section that he will rest for a while due to busy schedule and personal matter. Oikos and cartesi are good spotted campaigns do hope I participated on those good projects. The only negative aspect for being an escrow for bounty rewards - you need to spend your own funds for distribution and then wait for the project to repay your expenses. This happened exactly with julerz12 last campaign. He managed it perfectly, distributed part of rewards and then he run out of ethereum/gas and waited for Dao Geoma project to send him funds for further distribution. He waited for several months and hunters started to blame him for pausing distribution/not distributing at all/stealing rewards.
Bounty managers that escrows rewards need to have strong guts and steel balls

Of course it is matters. Without payment, the hunters efforts and time will be gone in vain.
That's why it is very important to ensure the bounty campaign will pay you before you joined.
And to make certain of it, bounty manager must be able to show the proof such as escrowed address contain the payment.

there have been so many bounty payment problems from the past until now cut allocations not as written from the beginning besides it the lock token system don't know when it will open The essence of all this, bounty hunter must be careful before joining a bounty checked in detail so that the work is not in vain
Always and a must to do before participating, it's your precious time that you'll going to invest with this job with some efforts tomake the project more attracting from the possible investors.
You need to considered every possible things that might affect you in receiving your rewards. both the team and BM should be note down.
Payment for bounty participants has always been an unsolved problem, there are so many cases that have happened, starting from cutting allocations when the project is successful, payments take so long and some do not pay at all.
To improve bounty quality, forum moderators must set strict rules in bounty campaigns, such as asking for a deposit when the campaign will be released, if the bounty team commits a violation, they will get a penalty from the forum moderator.

Either escrow, limited participants or fixed tokens, all these strategy doesn't mean the project will turn out fine, they are all still risky, escrowed tokens can turn worthless too if the team never had a good plan for the project right from the start, I prefer trusting a reputable bounty manager instead.
