Crypto projects start as trial, mostly. They start a new project with some goals, they raise funds, they create app, dapp. Some get success, some fail to get desired result. Some run away with hard earned money. We invest on new tech, new ideas. We read WP, we observe Roadmap, we try to figure the output, we check the team member's portfolio. Even genious people fail.
So outcome is uncertain. Escrow, prior to ICO/IEO, is quite hard task to run a bounty.

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.
I recall a bounty campaign managed by Bounty detective that turned out to be scam after the bounty payment has been escrowed & guaranteed by the manager, only for the project to pull an exit scam rendering the tokens useless. Similar case with Geoma DAO which is yet to have direction despite reward distributed to hunters. Escrow still doesn't solve the whole problem. Other solutions should be proffered, but can't put the responsibility on the forum administrators.

The idea is a great one but I doubt if it can be implemented. The forum owners also wanna make earning through the traffic on the forum. Making such rule may make projects teams look for other similar forums to run their bounties. No doubt the best any team can get is offered by this forum.
Because many projects fail and many hunter regrets at end of champaign that's why he makes thread like this, also I saw a thread about payments using stablecoin. But as you said "I doubt if it can be implemented" and I think it can't be implemented, so learn more about the project before joining and be prepared for all possibilities The idea is a great one but I doubt if it can be implemented.

No need to make new rules regarding bounties, at this point bounties are still available that's a good thing, rather than not having bounties at all in the forum, indeed we can't control the scammer, all we can do is analyze it before joining in the bounty
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?
Yes, creating a bounty and escrow is something that you don't have to force if the project doesn't need it, but if that is done then there will be a good effect for the project itself, because on a real foundation they will be really strong in the future. if the project can be successful in a timely manner.

That is good idea but it will not be realized here because if the bounty hunters want assurance of the payment from the project they market the project also want it. The better idea is when the project run, this project should set aside some funds for the bounty hunters aside from the coins they receive so that bounty hunters effort will not waste, it is not easy to market a project especially if the project has difficult rules. This is only in my own opinion.

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. asking for tokens first using the escrow service is not the task of the forum admin but it is the responsibility of the bounty manager, the forum only provides a place for promotion and will not interfere with bounty hunter payment problems
Yes, bounty is only a small part of this forum and the administrators will not be held accountable for it. That is why bounty managers appear on this forum, they will manage projects and keep them running smoothly on this forum and attract more people to join the bounty.What will happen if every bounty hunters paid the fee and the promised token still end up been worthless after trading starts on exchanges? Isn't that a big loss for the fact that you still pay an extra fee?
we must not paid even that for fee or anything, bounty campaign never ask us fee to get bounty payment.only fake bounty campaign ,in few months ago we know some airdrop required some eth to get token, its same case with this .real project have their fund to run project and if they need money it will come from investors.

lol, we should report such project, it's just a project that try to scam the hunters by asking fee to send the payment.
Real project should pay their promoter without additional fee, better just leave that kind of project.
Another thing that is important is the guarantee of the payment, like bountydetective, they often guarantee their payment.

And that's very annoying if you fall with this kind of bounty participation, instead of getting something it will only lead you losing
the fees plus the frustrations that the developers will cause you.
It's always best to understand first all the things from the project that you are aiming to participate, even it's just a small fees
to consider the time and the efforts is more worthy.
I think that would be a very good one if it can be put into action but majority of the projects that refused to pay hunters I kind of lay some of the blames on Bounty Manager cos as a BM your reputation is at stake so they should find a way to always have the team transfer if not all but half of the Bounty token to them before they agree to manage Bounty for them

Escrow is good but not all escrowed bounty projects are good, don't promote simply because its escrowed, do your part with research and make sure the project is worth promoting, I still remember what happened with kingcasino months ago, it was escrowed and still end up scamming people

The present solution to payment is using escrow and this is something that only bounty managers can do not admins on this forum, to run this website isn't that easy and taking care or responsibility for bounties is X2 hard work for admins, not a good idea 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.

Well, yeah, I've been in a successful campaign and still they didn't pay us the one who participated their bounty campaign and we should do something to stop that.
The use of Escrow in bounties would go a long way to prevent the issue of unpaid bounty rewards in the forum. I wish it can be made mandatory, both projects and bounty manager should be mandated to comply or loose the bounty thread. This would give bounty hunters a voice and their worth would be appreciated by projects.
I remember managing the bounty julerz, but it seems that he doesn't have an active campaign at the moment, because I see him using the Esrwow system, different from other bounty managers, hopefully in the future it will be tightenedThe use of Escrow in bounties would go a long way to prevent the issue of unpaid bounty rewards in the forum.

It should be like that. Only a few Bounty Managers implement Escrow in each campaign. With the escrow, participants will certainly feel that the payment will be safe. There have been many cases of unpaid participants. it's really very sad. If it's required, then this is a great move for all.

The idea is certainly interesting, but hardly feasible. It would be very tempting to participate in companies knowing in advance that you will receive a reward anyway. This would discipline the bounty executives a little.
