Topic: Cheating in bounty programs - page 19. (Read 2272 times)
Watch the KYC at the end bounties. They get you all nice and juiced up for your reward. You did all the hard work then they ask for the real prize. Your passport. You may end up doing the work, not getting paid and then have your passport or national ID sold on the dark web.
Hi everybody i am new to bounty but i hope they are not cheating because you invet time in it
This seems to now be the norm and the order of the day - change in rules at the end or almost at the end of campaign. This i feel is not fair enough.
State your rules whenever campaign is about to start. Those that cannot comply to the rule will simply draw back, instead of wasting their precious time and efforts on a campaign and at the end of the day, they seem not to get any thing in return.
This should be critically looked into.

Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.
I think it's all bad because we are doing work and have to get money, but dishonest companies want to deceive us, but we need to be together and then they will not be able to do these machinations.
It shouldnt be some,but most of the bounty campaigns are cheating just like what happen to the SAPIEN's network bounty campaign which has caused a lot of problem with the bounty managers,in the official bounty thread they indicated 5% of the total tokens sold will be given to the bounty hunters but it seems the hunters got only .004% that is why most of the bounty hunters got angry and at the end the bounty manager doubled the first stakes,the reason is they didnt mentioned that there will be a lot of bounty phases which is clearly a scam because they should put that in the thread,and they shouldnt put the 5% because it is clearly a clickbait.
I may be naive, but I don't want to think that projects are deliberately deceiving.
I admit that something went wrong as the creators conceived and didnt manage to earn and reward us.

I just read a thread or comments that are stating that bounty campaign manager are one of the cause why ICOs and projects failed due to their very strict qualifications for bounty hunters and strict implementation for rules and guidelines.
I have some bounty campaign managers who don't really performed well because I just noticed that while the campaign is running, most participants are leaving. And that will lessen the promotion of ICO ads because there are too few members who are helping them promote their ICOs and projects.
Yeah that is true,some of the bounty managers are lazy to update the spreadsheet or they are too strict with the qualifications,you need to post quality contents if you dont you will be removed without any warnings,i have a bad experience with some bounty managers here who are too lazy to get the spreadsheet updated,and if you ask them you will be ignored,some of the managers are too strict that is why most of the bounty participants are leaving.

Of course, some campaigns turn into a scam, and not paying for the work to promote the project, however, the community is a force that can influence the project. Btw, what successful ICO was not paid the rewards? And at the same time look at the scam from the side of the participants: https://etherscan.io/address/0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471#tokentxns Do you think you can earn a lot if together with you in a social campaign is multi accounts of 100-200 participants?
i've read a lot about getting familiar with the bounty manager, how do one suggest that?? i've seen often that rules change like anything. i got 20$ worth tokens to promote an ico for a month (not that iam complaining) but asking bounty mangers about the campaign also invites nightmares. i am hoping if someone could suggest a basic filter, if there is any, to identify a legit bounty project.
We cant really avoid these scam bounties,even the bounty manager are getting scammed too,that is why we need to be vigillant,research first before you join any of these bounties so it will give you more chance to get your stakes at the end of the campaign.Few of good manager i have been following was also getting involve with scam projects so that means there are no assurance from the start.

What do you mean: do something at the end of the company? Undoubtedly, the fact that the manager has the right to change the rules during the company, I previously had such a case, but everything worked out and in the end the manager kept his promises.
of course he didn't mean all of them do that but some of them, Not all of them are straight!I encountered one recently, Coinvest. They are not giving stakes if you don't invest in their crowdsale and it wasn't said in the bounty paper. Some guy learned it after talking to admin and he left the bounty group after pointing that...
Moreover, they'll be distributing bounty rewards throughout the year, a part of the bounties each quarter... I mean what the actual f*ck?

I don't think we can call that a bounty! It's more like a bonus after investing lol, why would i even participate in this bounty!!!

It's true. Most bounties don't pay their participants at the end of the day. Some projects after their tokensale, bring out stuffs like KYC knowing fully well most participants are not comfortable sharing their private details due to it being sold. And most times I wonder what they do with the bounty allocation do they share it among themselves or what do they really do with it.

This is the fact that we need to understand,bounty managers will always have the right to change any rules of the program.I know it is unfair but some of these people really doing shady business just to get a lot of money from the bounties,and they will give those hard working bounty hunters pennies in exchanges for promoting the ICO for months.
I took part in a project that did not raise enough money, no one paid anyone (for bounty). I was not dissatisfied with the fact that I did not receive payment, I was more upset by the fact that the team returned the money to investors and remained without funding a good idea. In bounty, I get irritated and angry most of all when the rules, conditions, amounts of payments, etc. change at the end, when everything is over.
See few topics but nobody wants to say names of cheating bounties and bounty managers. I was not paid one time but this ICO was scum. But if ICO isn't scum usually everybody pay tokens.
There are some bounty campaign managers are doing the trick of joining their alt accounts on the campaigns they managed and then they put some strict rules and guidelines so that some members will be expelled out while the end of the campaign is ending. So the bounty stake will become higher.
I don't know, seems to be true.
It's only my opinion and I do hope some members will find it real.
Some campaign do that, dont know why though. For example you need to do some kyc, im fine with kyc if they accept national IDs as well but they only accept passport geez that hard. If they want to do some KYC like that is fine as long they announce it before campaign even start. Not like everyone got passport
Right, why wouldn't they announce that in the start of the bounty, it feels like they do it on purpose!

Yes, I think sometimes the scam is perfected by the companies. At other times, the campaign managers do this so as to garner more profit to themselves by withholding what should be paid out.No doubt, responses on this subject matter are going to be quite understandably subjective with the real victims of this not wanting to share their stories of bounties that ended up scamming their posters out of their rewards. I have had more than two similar experiences here with managers who ended up not paying out. Please, permit me to keep these experiences to myself and not share now. Of course, I don't expect the mangers to own up if shared here.
These people are unavoidable most of the developers are paying the bounty allocations and few are going to fool even the manager,that is why there will be no exception even these manager are gettign scammed but morelikely if the campaign has achieve success they will surely pay you it will take days ,weeks or even months but surely they will,
