Topic: Cheating in bounty programs - page 2. (Read 2272 times)
I did not get anything like that. But need time to get the bounty rewards. After 1-2 months of ending a Bounty program, the rewards will be given. But who does not? After the ICO and they scam, Normally they will not give you rewards. Hope you got your answer
Yeah we encounter sometimes this kind of ICO or Camp manager that are cheating or not paying the respective stake or tokens into the participants. If they really dont pay or give you the worth of your work you can submit a scam accusations to the team and manager in this very forum so the admins and moderator see what will do in this kind of situations
Actually sometimes I think about this.
Like the bounty managers that ask KYC, sometimes they ask. Passport for the KYC, and how if we don't have passport??
Or sometimes I think, How if the bounty manager cut the pay? How do we know?? Like an issue that I've heard about a bounty campaign, The developer team told to the bounty participant, that they provide 12% of total token sold, while the BM says only 5% have provided.
But, what can we do

There are some bounties who are only after the ICO money they gather and just focus on the investors investing on their project, and if they think it is not enough they then will not pay the people helping them spread the ICO which are the bounty hunters joining campaigns. And this had happened a lot of times already or sometimes they just disappear and never hear anything from them again.
I've already experienced joining bounty program and at the end they didn't pay the bounty participants. Another one at the beginning of the campaign the rules are clear that's why many hunters participated but after bounty program finished they changed the rules when they start distributing the tokens for their members. Members not received the amount stated at the beginning of the program. I think we can't avoid those things to happen because the program manager is the one who rule over it. We are lucky if the manager in the program we joined is good,honest,responsible and not cheating the budget for the participants.
If something like that happens to you then open a scam accusation against the developers of that coin, if they promise to give you a certain amount of tokens under certain rules and then at the end they change everything you have some grounds to open an accusation against them, after all that is very unethical because they got all of that advertising and now they do not want to pay.
There are many projects that have a bounty scam! Under their rules we wear their heads and signatures. Hard work for them, but they always delay the bounty of the table update, and then in the absence of notice, change the rules, only after bargaining with them will recalculate. For this kind of behavior, we can only stop to negotiate this step, there is no other way! I hope someone can come up with a post on BBS to report on these fraudulent projects.
That is a tough question, because it is stupid to lie to people if you want to get your tokens into masses. Their reputation will be affected so badly, or that is just scam.
Yes it will happen sometimes but most bounty programs paid their applicants according to their effort and honesty in working during the campaign period.
I dont want to tell the name of campaign now, but one ico in which i participated in bounty start to tell that most of posts and reposts of participants are low quality etc. But stakes were given, why they gave stakes for low quality work? As i see they just dont want to pay. I feel the smell of cheating, but we'll see.
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.
if I think it's a natural thing because they have tried as much as possible to achieve it, but concept of the team may not attract the attention of investors so that investors do not join and the bounty was not paid because the project is less demanded
They are cheating because of the reason you have said. They are offering new rules that will say something different, or they even can low down the price. Or, they are afraid of that someone is cheating on them.
I made a spreadsheet of the last bounties from managers, the interaction with which was positive and successful:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B4sMp4rDeYjPn3Lkbxn6Ot5KLQFERPXloIl5lUbTVBg/edit?usp=sharing
The table will be update, it will be possible to follow the appearance of new companies from these managers and to fit into the project on time.
I think it can be useful to many people, I personally did not have enough of this information in due time.
Use with pleasure!
Good luck in the projects!
If you consider it necessary to add managers or what information, write.

Sometime it will happen in Bounty campaign because once they become familiar they will start reducing the pool which allocated to the bounty. These type of thing happen many times in the bounty, they have the right to change the allocated pool anytime they want.
This is very rampant with bounties that are not so strong or untrue with their ideas. They change the rule of the game as soon as they see that many participants are making real progress with their task and they know they will not be able to reward every participant, then they find excuses or even disqualify some participant because they do no want to loss. They should always state all necessary conditions before hunters begin to join the campaign as this would make them aware of the conditions and be sure to participate and get reward not completing a task and then you give an excuse.
This is why I don't really choose up those Bounty Programs that do have 3-4% on overall supply or do have claims 2m-4m in usd rewards because chances of these kind of bounties turns out to be scam in the end if not then high tendency that they would changed allocation percentage in the end which it turns out to be a deceiving move made by them. Worst case on here is that some of them now do announce or ask KYC in the end of the campaign for its bounty hunters. Wtf?
Most of the bounty programs won't cheat users by not paying them at the end of the campaign but normally they would reduce bounty rewards per user if they didn't raise enough money in the ICO. I've seen many bounty campaigns doing this at the end.
You should be careful. Just like in daily life there is also people who want to make their works for free. But in this forum I haven't found anyone that cheats so far.

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.
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.
have a nice days everyone

gift managers who do not pay or cheat by cutting the allocation of funds to participants usually do not include token allocations for participants,
and at the end of the campaign, the amount received is a bit unsuitable for the work we do.
even working for nearly six months,

even working for nearly six months,
I ever, have not paid according to my work in the spreadsheet and this is whether cheating is done by the gift manager or done by the company developer
because I do not know who distributes tokens when a bounty program is done
