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 that it exist a minority of projects that are cheating, i have participate in a project i don't went to say the name they don't give us any thing i was disappointed from that because i participate for 6 months and after this long time i don't get anything, but it's not the case of all the projects it exist the good one.

The bounty of the company do not cheat. If you were deceived, it was done by the creators of the ICO project, but this does not apply to the bounty of the company. Bounty company engaged managers, which makes no sense to steal your tokens.

This things happens nowadays. In my cases there are lowkey scams happening like you thought the project will work out but after the ICO.
The price value of the coin is a trash and it'll be the constant price. Some of them listing it on a exchange site with a low volume.

    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.

I've heard of bounty programmes where this has happened but never encountered it so not sure how often it occurs. Seems simply way to prevent it in future is with some sort of holding system where tokens are distributed and criteria is independently reviewed by the platform.

Right now the most common way of cheating from bounty campaigns is that at the beginning they do not disclose the fact that they will require that you identify yourself and go through know your customer policies, this means that at the end people will have to choose to either give their documents away or forfeit all the work they have done for the bounty campaign, and to me that is a very dirty move.

 Its unfortunate but it happens, the bounty mangers these days come up with silly rules to be met for rewards to be issued yet the bounty hunters worked tirelessly hard to earn these tokens, its unfortunate these things happen these days yet there is Little that can be done about them, its  the bounty hunters energy time and investment that goes to waste in the long run yet some of the managers reap from it, its very unfortunate, something should be done about this

Saying that they do not what to pay is wrong, they can not pay because they could not raise that much initial funds. It's not always scam but most of the time failure.

There are really projects that are scam and others that even being reliable postpone to the maximum the payment of bounties. But it's part of the business and we will not always be successful on the bounties.

yes and i want to believe the cheating was pre-planned, it wouldn't just happened. after reaching their desired caps in order to keep all to themselves they will come up with excuses and task that is impossible for bounty hunters to fulfill and at the end use this a yardstick for non-payment. i have experienced it several times. and if at all they decide to pay. the token will be too small to use for anything. meaning it is useless

I have not yet encountered changes in the rules of the campaign in the course of its passage. There have been cases when tokens were recalculated, but this usually happened in favor of the community.

I took a part in successful campaigns so far and I do not have a bad experience with bounty managers. Anyway, I am aware of this particular problem. Dishonest bounty managers do not pay participants or they simply do not give them stakes and ignore their frustrated comments. What can we do? Well, just give them negative trust and they will not be able to run other campaigns in the future. The most of serious projects use services of well-known managers though, so we do not have to worry if we join them.

That is possible because they know that many people involved in the campaign can not meet their KYC. So they did it to take over the money that the participants earned.
But there are some management teams that work very seriously. Team Amazix is a typical. They always announce the conditions required to receive bonuses after the end of the project. So I think before joining any project, ask the manager for the necessary information.

I have experience it not once but many times. I have high hopes when the bounty program ends it will pay in 2-3 weeks but not all of it really pays. If you havent receive any rewards on a long period of waiting, maybe you entered the wrong eth receiving address that cause to send the tokens to other users not on you. When you inputted the correct address make sure to pm the bounty manager about it. If no replies receive you can put negative trust on him/her.

yes I see some of them are not paying the participants who have supported their project to succeed, for that I always check and cautious before joining bounty because I don't want to work in vain because it just wasting time and I hope there will be new rules This forum in order to reduce bounty scam

that is already a common problem for bounty ico campaigns and so far the forum has not yet implemented a new rules in order to lessen the scammers. Mods and dt members can only give them a negative trust which is i think really helpful enough .
In fact, once the bounty hunter has deceived the bounty manager, it will be marked by the DT members. But once the bounty managers have deceived the bounty hunters, they have not received any punishment,I think the DT members are biased towards them in this respect.

I hope that admins will soon revised some rules that will greatly re strain those ico's. a small fee or a kyc verification might be a good idea to be required before a bounty can start their own campaign. On that way , we are fully sure that they are legit.

Sometimes other things are out of our control and as much as we would like to avoid these to happen we really don't have any option to check whether this bounty is a scam or not unless we tried it. And yes I agree with you I'm hopeful that there will be some rules and set of securities and regulations as well inorder for these people not to continue doing scams.

That is why before jumping on any bounty, I really put in consideration who the bounty manager is. I like to do bounties with reputable bounty managers that are fair and honest.

That's certainly correct, in this way we can have some guarantee that we are in good hands. Additionally, there are times that some of their ICOs being handled were not successful but at least they will notify the hunters. And we can't really avoid such circumstances that there are times that they really cheated and we can't do nothing but to accept it.
