Topic: Cheating in bounty programs - page 9. (Read 2272 times)
This is quite possible. Especially if it's tweeting or facebook campaigns, where the counting of stacks is much more difficult than in the signature campaign. It remains only to count everything yourself or choose campaigns from managers who are trustworthy.
In most cases, the money for the bounty of the company is paid. But the case that indeed can not count your participation, or share of for week. Managers can change the rules at the last moment when you do not expect.
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.
For me cheating bounty programs can make your Project un proven for the best opportunity then less participants plus less opportunity for an investors to invest the project.
yeah i have exxperienced it several times. They dont want to distribute bounty rewards because they are scared of a dump or sometimes they just do it because they are careless. So pity for participants. and most of the times bounty managers can not do anything as well because they are not part of the project team...
Unfortunately there is a lot of unfair treatment in this regard. Some bounty hunters don't want to deal with the hassle of KYC but then they do the work and at the end of a few weeks of work the campaign suddenly requires KYC. I have seen this happen to friends and they have been very upset about it. I think terms should stay as advertised, otherwise campaigns are using people unfairly for their promotion labour.
Look the Official DIW bounty Program ........ ( My bounty campaign

In my experience the bounty managers are just as likely to scam you and try to take away your stakes at the end of the campaign.
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?
Oh My God, how can he even manage a 150 account or even more! Unbelievable
Now i just want every bounty to apply that KYC, That's why we're earning nothing!!
Probably his job is just bounty hunter. I totally agreed, i also suppose to every bounty should want KYC for all participants but not just with passport!!. As one of member said that above, everybody doesn't have passport. Even that if possible they also need to check all participations with MAC based scan, just ip scan is not enough!
First thought it's a bounty hunter wallet but how can he manage this number of accounts like 150 to 200, No one can!!
But a bounty manager can add stakes without reports on his accounts, it's more likely a bounty manager
Just checked some of these addresses on utrust SpreedSheet, none of them reported a thing and there a brand new account between them also!!
I just checked too, and i see on spreadsheet every tries of mine? Im pretty convince that this one is bounty hunter's wallet, maybe not operated just one person but almost every wallet has same tokens. and for utrust, seems he/they join telegram and twitter bounties.
It's social bounties like Facebook and Twitter and these campaigns needs reports on the thread, and the address's i checked never made any reports!
I belive this address 0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471 is part of the scam.
My opinion is that it is used in Telegram bounties and that they use dead Bitcointalk accounts to participate.
You can see, for example, scam bounty participants in Tihosay Telegram bounty. Open table and go to Telegram tab. Scam members are:
redpumk1n, with ETH address
btcguys, with ETH address
BeardedCouncil, with ETH address
You can observe that all three participants sent their tokens to address 0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471.
There are probably much more scam participants in that bounty, but I noticed that three guys by accident.
Bitcointalk accounts redpumk1n and BeardedCouncil were last active in 2014/2015. I belive scam members are using unactive accounts to participate in telegram bounty.
They probably use bots to apply to Telegram bounty channels, and when tokens from bounty come they send them to address 0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471.
This address has over 50.000$ worth of tokens!
Also observe how tokens come in "bursts" - here are token transfers. There are over 200 addresses that send their tokens to that address.
Scammers like that take tokens from other bounty participants, and it is no wonder that on some Telegram bounties there have over 10.000 participants. Wonder how much of this are scam participants.
Things like this can be stopped by using "Proof of authentication post" on every Telegram campaign.

Unfortunately, recently this happens more often. Some companies do not want to pay tokens bounty hunters for their work. But they do not understand that in the end they will only get worse from this. Their reputation will suffer. And they will lose more from this than they will gain.
.
There are many reasons why they cheat, but mostly is because they have not achieved their objectives and then are not willing to pay the promoters. It seems that in this world it has to be someonelses fault always.

My past experience isn't all the bounty campaign pay full reward when campaign closes some of them simply pay half of aggregate reward or less even ICO achieve their objective target bounty seeker can't do anything simply move to other campaign and discount who is the bounty supervisor don't join her oversee campaign once more.
Had a recent bad experience with this. Removed their name now as I'd rather rise above and not just FUD them.Their argument on Telegram was that they "sold out so quickly" that the bounty campaign they commissioned wasn't necessary.
If a company commissioned a print shop to make a bunch of flyers to promote their sale, and then the products sold out before all the flyers got distributed - would the company still have an obligation to pay the print shop? Obviously, they would. Doesn't seem so different to me, although of course Bounty Hunters trade their time and creativity, rather than a product or money - and generally seem to get shat on by a lot of of the crypto community. If they are so worthless and don't get results - then why do the majority of ICOs dedicate a significant budget to them?

I think that's true. There are some cheating bounty programs. Everybody wants to have a free working power, but such teams just undermine confidence to its project by such actions
Lies always have a place, unfortunately. I came across campaigns that did not pay anything at the end of the Bounty. And I could not help it. Now I come closer to choosing.

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 understand I have read a lot of thread with respect to this, but whichever team ends up doing that does not actually want anything good for such project.
I read many complaints on many bounty campaigns, some are postponing the payments over and over again, some giving big moneys to their own guys and more...
I try tobe careful while I'm choosing campaign.

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.

Yes they are some instances that they change the rule and implement KYC because they knew that some participants do now want KYC and they have already part of the campaign for weeks, they should be reported for doing such thing, I have campaign that I left because of this KYc
