To which address you sent 20 BTC?

Escrow address for BQT Signature Campaign -> 14cJEUeGm157ok88ouskfDGwbSmzf2Kgcr - Total 0.7 BTC

Escrow address for IOU Signature Campaign -> 17wW3y8HgcRACw6e8wjB5bkuc1CFJzvRQM - Total 0.7615475 BTC

In total = 1.4615475 BTC, which means Zapo is stole 18,54 BTC from you and you did not react until today?

---

I was one of the participants in BQT signature campaign, feel free to check my posts and show me where is my part of spam? Now it is easy to say that all participants in signature campaigns are bots and spammers and that most bounty participants are also bad and fakes.

Please answer my question above: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52535974

Putting up the sheets and getting the distribution info shortly

Thanks all for keeping enough patience about BQT and IOU bounty payment related issue. Yesterday team confirms me about the bounty rewards distribution. Congrats to them who have successfully got their token. From the beginning i tried my best to bring a faster solution for this issue and honestly it wasn't so easy. I wanna give special thanks to team for their positive approach and the real participants who did their best during campaign time.

Most interesting part is that because of their bounty manager zapo's inactivity and unprofessional behavior distribution process got stuck. There is no way to deny that after opening this thread team feels it necessary to start the bounty rewards distribution. Although i believe zapo is responsible for all this things and team wasn't enough caring about their project bounty promoters. Team told me that they have paid 20 btc to zapo for running their signature campaign on bitcointalk but got nothing but bot and spamming. I think all this happened due to their lack of experience about this forum and proper bounty management. I don't wanna waste my time for digging their personal relationship with zapo or any other alt. Maybe It was their mistake to choose reliable campaign manager for their campaign.

Still there is some issues about final selection where total participants on facebook was 13411 and in twitter it was 15867 but in current spreadsheet audit team selected only 951 for facebook and 1189 for twitter. I will request team to provide their final spreadsheet here and hope they will solve any kinda distribution related issue from their telegram channel. Team confirmed me that one of this forum user named sonny will handle all distribution related issue from their official telegram channel.

After having our community members valuable suggestion here i will lock this topic to get rid off unnecessary replies. Till then stay alert, stay safe.

Well yea Zapo is the cause of all the problems. Kudos to the team for coming through for the community. Nevertheless I think the spreadsheet and parameters used to determine the payout should be provided since we all have come this far.

I really commend the team for been true to their words. Now that's hard to come by.

Make the whole thing public ,how payment was made , which bounty or tasks has been paid, how many token per stake e.t.c And let's get over with it.

No intention to split hair, but apparently, startups are never the victim it seems. We relied on Zapo to interface with BTT community since he claimed it was his thing (and we've now realized that the faux air of mysticism his types tend to exude regarding BTT activities is basically bait and switch). Should anybody be held responsible? Zapo, of course. But then, who's going to hold him responsible?

Might as well argue that he's a product of this community and the activities of his kinds have greatly sullied the reputation (at least the outsider's perception) of what this place stands for. We've been made to understand that the community polices its own, but being a public forum, the policing can only go that far.
However, it kind of stings being told: "That's not our business how much you have paid Zapo...".

OK, we got dumped.
OK, we have nothing to show for it.
OK, we are trying to maintain our integrity by resolving the mess and paying the tokens allocated to those who upheld their end of the bargain too.
What is not OK, is we paying to accounts that have been flagged as scams or cheat.

We draw the line there.

The spreadsheet by Zapo is still accessible for anybody that feels they are capable of auditing it better.

If the community insist on making the audited sheet available, we will do so and explain the parameters involved. However, we do not have the bandwidth to answer why this person or that didn't make the list. Would have been easier for us to just jump ship, but it's best to be the change you want to see and there's no bigger change we want to see now more than crypto community going back to its roots of integrity.

Thanks, eventually you have created your own account.
That's not our business how much you have paid to Zapo. Your money you could spend it anywhere. It doesn't make any sense for us even you paid 100BTC to zapo. your bounty budget was 500,000 BQTX and you should distribute it among the participants. That's all.
I don't think bounty budget has been decided by Zapo, obviously team is aware about budget.

You have to, your final spreadsheet should be on public. I am willing to see how much token has been distributed among participants. Also I am curious about your filtering of final spreadsheet. You should not hide it from public in order to fair distribution. 

Thank you TalkStar for starting this thread.
I participated in IOU bounty campaign a year ago and totally forgot about it.
One of the reasons for which I decided to stop participating in bounty campaigns is not getting paid and you never know whom to blame. BM tells you that he delivered the final spread sheet to project manager, and PM tells you that he didn't receive anything.

Anyway, I just want to confirm that I finally received my bounty reward.

Following up our conversation with Talkstar, we've decided to come set the record straight summarily.

About 20 BTC was paid to Zapo for the signature campaign and we got zero KPI off that. Similar results with the token bounty, and while we can still blame Zapo for not completing the data collection, the fact that the event was rife with scams and cheats.
We could have stuck to our guns - if we're playing by some hard set rules - about the bounty manager not delivering and let it die a natural death, after all, who's getting negged? It's the BM. The incomplete data was there alongside the numerous messages we sent that was never responded to.

But we didn't.

The management decided to rescue the situation and uphold its end of the bargain by taking on the extra financial responsibility of hiring auditors to complete and audit the sheet after months of waiting on Zapo to no avail. However, completing and auditing a bounty that ended almost six months prior proved to be a daunting task especially with bounty hunters shifting allegiance and the hard-nosed attitude of social media platform resulting in dead links and missing data. We also created a new telegram group to directly address participants, only to find out that out of the roughly 900+ members in the original group, only 100+ were actually "human".

With no measurable KPI and less than 10% of the deliverables promised, we had to critically evaluate the situation. Yes, hard work should be rewarded and goodwill fostered with the community. However, when community participation is rife with scams, cheats, and zero engagement, something has to give.

Yes, crypto has its own fair share of scams and cheats and the good work/goodwill of the community being exploited by nefarious actors. However, it seems most are overlooking the fact that we are also the victim here, sinking manpower and operational costs into doing right by the community.

And therein lies the problem. Doing right.

It will be unfair to not reward those who diligently took their time to support the project. However, we will not be empowering scammers and cheaters by giving them what they never sowed. Accountability works both ends and so does the responsibility. We took on the responsibility of accepting the fact that someone took us for a ride and we still have an obligation to fulfil to the community. However, the community too has to accept the fact that is was "one of their own too". Hence, the "meet-me-half-way" approach we've taken to resolving the situation.

We are now distributing tokens to those who passed the audit (and we're already getting "which exchange list" and "how much price" queries in. Awesome support). For the sake of sanity, we wouldn't be making the spreadsheet public (Talkstar and xtraelv have seen it though) because not everyone is going to make the cut and translating that into several languages 24/7 is beyond our abilities. However, if someone feels they can audit the original sheet, they are welcome to try. It's still in the bounty thread created by Zapo.
We recognize the fact that there's no marketing strategy that can trump community goodwill, hence the reason why we've implemented a 5-tier referral reward system that is based on the number of BQTX tokens held. We will also be rolling out other bonuses and engagements for those who have grown to become a part of our ecosystem.

Our purpose on this thread is to set the record straight. Yes, some blockchain startups have been less than honourable to bounty hunters and a few bad eggs have spoilt the basket. Is it possible that not everyone will be happy with this outcome? Yes, it's true. Sadly, this is the best we can do without committing seppuku.

We'd like to acknowledge the effort of Talkstar to stand up for the community and xtraelv for his mediation and willingness to hear us out. The community can certain do with more folks like you

It seems like the new gift from Facebook has just been paid.

Can we get clarity about this distribution ? Because the telegram group for bounty , the Admins there Sonny and Chris said they don't know the task that was paid today .

Is that the total amount each participant will receive or should we expect other payments for other tasks.

Providing a spreadsheet will be best at this moment so everybody will know what is going on.

According to the spreadsheet, I have to get 2352 BQTX for Facebook 184.8 BQTX for Twitter and 34 BQTX for Telegram. But received only 269.2 BQTX now.
Why? When will the rest be paid?

Is it possible to see the final spreadsheet? so participants won't be underpaid...

That means bounty manager (Zapo) didn't do his job in the right way, or team does not believe in the correctness of what they had in their possession? I see no reason that something is checked three times (Zapo - BQT&IOU team - now you), and then probably them again.

I think the most important thing is that in the end, everyone gets what they earned. But given the time that has already passed, the value of those tokens decreases with each new day.

It is to notify everyone that BQT and IOU team have already sent their final spreadsheet to me. I am verifying both spreadsheets from my end. As you all know that there were lots of participant on their campaign and normally its not an easy task complete the proper scrutiny works just in one or two days. I am trying my best to figure out all the issues and continiously holding my conversation with the team for starting the distribution process as soon as possible.

After detecting all the issues i will handover final spreedsheets to them and hopefully they will reconsider all these things before starting their distribution.

I hope everyone will keep their patience until all the process complete smoothly.

I see! I was almost forgot about that issue. Thanks for bump this thread. I was wondering @xtraelv and @Talkstar working on that since they have contact with team. But it's sad that even they have not bother to update thread. How we believe they are friendly enough with bounty hunter since no respond from them? It's their responsibility to convince bounty hunters. Hunters worked for project, not for manager. So project team should resolve issue when a problem has been accured.

Mid September already passed. Look like team not interested about bounty distribution. 

Seems OP & xtraelv trying their best to resolve issue about BQT/IOU. Since I was participant of their signature campaign so from my heart want that all bounty participants should be paid. Its true this process has been started due to open this thread I believe. And seems team friendly enough to resolve this issue. We can't deny that team has not scam with their investors. So I believe they will paid to bounty participants as well.

However, since a problem has been occurred so it will take a little bit time to get resolved. And I believe participants will wait until resolve issue. At least participants will get their payment.

It is to notify everyone that BQT team is showing enough professional behavior about this issue. They are continuously giving me updates about their work and i hope very soon bounty participants will receive their payment. I believe every project owners are very much careful about their reputation and it should be. Because of their previous bounty manager's alt account issue and inactivity they were facing this unwanted situation. They have promised me that they will resolve it as soon as possible. From my entire conversation i realized that they have deep respect about our forum and the participant who joined them.

They don't wanna lose bitcointalk users support for them and they want to continue this for a long time. Currently they are working with spreadsheet and after a complete scrutiny i will verify it from my side for a fair distribution. I personally wanna give thanks to xtraelv for his great support and others who keep their patience until now. Hope we will be able to resolve it very soon.
