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.

As mush as your idea may sound good, I don't think forum pays much attention to non btc paying campaigns, hunters should do their necessary research especially when you are doing alts campaign and make their own decisions base on the bounty you want to join,
Too many project are screwing hunters over too many times now, all we can do is try to be careful and only do bounty from trusted bm.

I really and totally agree with what you just said! I participated in a bounty around August 2018 and we were paid weekly but uptill now the coin remain a scam coin. I prefer to participate in a bounty that last very long but at the end I benefit from it as I have do from bounty in the past. However I see all this as luck becouse some of the project we thought are genuine are scam and most time it is at the end of the campaign that we discover this.

I prefer to get paid even though the price of the token dropped dramatically or did not enter the exchange market, than I did not receive the payment, while the token from the project that cheated me turned out to have a high price on the exchange.

You have a good point but at the same time if every projects start paying before bounty it still doesn't stop the fact that those coins can be worthless or scam, you can get paid of a token or coin that won't be useful for anyone,

Secondly the moderators on this forum have enough jobs on their hands, that won't be a easy task for those who look after this forum, moderators are humans like us and not super humans

Yeah, the best idea i think and it would be guaranteed payment for the bounty hunters. Definitely after this rules bounty will be changing but mostly the new projects will be oppose these rule. Even i think a lot of legit projects will go against in such rules. And payment should be stable coins likes BTC,ETH,USDT. But who guys will be escrow?

I strongly agree with the idea that you have about all new projects must pay first and run escrow, it can reduce the scam of a project and reduce the trick of not paying bounty hunters.

Some managers do that.
One example is where I am joined at.
GeomaDao.
The manager is julerz12 which have the funds escrowed already into his account.
All of this depeends on the manager or the ICO company. The forum is not mandated to adjust with all of this payments.
Do it at your own risk.

if some person decides to participate in a bounty campaign, then he must always evaluate and accept all the risks that exist here. in our work, there is always a risk of being left without payment or getting paid after a very long time. I took part even in projects that were already on the coinmarketcap and carried out a bounty campaign and then simply did not pay people. one from such example is DEEX exchange.

That is a good idea. I joined bounties in the past years and some bounty payments were changed before the campaign ends. The sad thing is, it will be smaller. Of course participants will be disappointed especially if there are so many participants ( scammers or not ). Just wanna share to those who has no odea about this, active bounties in services that pays bitcoin are listed and always updated to be able to easily monitor which campaign is open, close, or paused, how much is the payment, etc.

Your suggestion will protect the bounty hunters, however, it would not be possible as most of the projects that are running a bounty does rely only on what they can collect during the crowdsale, if BTC would be the payment, then probably we can make it possible, but most are paying their tokens or coins.

Indeed, bounty projects don't really have enough funds to start their project that's why they are gathering funds by undergoing initial coin offering. That is the only time when they can start to make a progress of their project once they have collected enough funds, that is why it is impossible for them to require to provide money for the security of bounty hunters.

I think it's not so important, we should be concerned that those projects need to be listed at the exchange, and the prices don't fall. From there the bounty hunter can get some money after the campaign ends. We do not need to receive the worthless tokens because it will be of no benefit to hunters

I have been saying this for quite some time now, and unfortunately no one is willing to listen. Thousands (I'm not exaggerating) of bounties have scammed the participants and till now tens of thousands of bounty hunters have gone unpaid. Being a bounty hunter is the most unrewarding role in cryptocurrency market right now. I am glad that I am no longer doing any bounties. Had enough and made the exit in 2018.

Definitely someone needs to come up with a escrow for each and every ico for the airdrop and bounty promised. To be fair I think there can be de centralised escrow service for all ico that are being conducted. That would be an awesome way to give trust on the project and also the bounty hunters.

Indeed at this time the ICO project is very difficult for us to believe fully, and the idea that you explain will be the solution for all of us and I strongly agree because the current bounty hunters are very frustrated with the constantly running Scamer, to In the future, we hope there is a change so that the forum will grow and we as a bounty hunter can get the result of our work.

Escrow is what many wants but not going to happen, there are still trust issues between developers/team and bounty managers, only very few new projects trust bounty managers with their tokens

Because of the lack of trust, the project developer must choose a manager who is truly trusted in managing their project or token, if this is not available, then the best choice is Escrow, not the others.

I think in the forum, it is not Mandatory to use escrow for your Bounties.
but recent occurrences suggest that Bounties in the service section are mostly escrowed (that's where you get btc paying signatures)

For other Bounties, your research activities should guide you

unless they pay in ETH, BTC or other strong coin, things will still be the same. There are some independent bounty platforms such as bountyhive that have adopted this in the past but the result is the same. till date, I have some token on mew that was given to me via bounty hunting and they arent listed in any exchange. It could even be worse than the dev team will give all the bounty hunters token and locked the token or decide to create a new smart contract different from the one that contains hunters' reward. I have experienced this in the past

Bounty payment matters and bounty is already dying,
So I suggest that for the future bounties they should make some payment that the hunter could already use or trade.
For example their bounty allocation should also be split into half of their project crypto and half into BTC,ETH or USDT,
In order to secure the reward of their participants and there should be an escrow for every bounty.

That can work perfectly if the bounty payment is in bitcoin or usdt so the participants will not have to worry if the project will be a scam. But so far, almost the bounty campaign pays the participants with their token/coin, so that makes the participants sad if the project is a scam. Besides that, I don't think that the team will agree to apply for the payment in bitcoin because they need to allocate some bitcoin for their participants. All in all, I think that is a good idea to prevent the scam project in the future.

This largely depends on the bounty managers, as for bitcointalk, I don't see them forcing anymore implementing such policy as regards bounty since the main purpose of this forum is not about bounty but majorly education. The onions are mainly on the manager and people should avoid shitty projects too.
