I have to disagree with this. I know we are just minimizing the risks of being scammed but we can't generalized that all new managers are all untrustworthy.
The best thing to do is to look at all sides of the project itself. Try as much as possible to determine if that project is worth to put up an effort. Basically, we feel safe if it will be handled by the best and famous managers around but that's not should be always the basis. It's not an assurance though that the project will be successful whoever handles it. Shit projects might also take advantage of hiring a reputable bounty manager but in the end, they will just use the popularity of the manager here in the forum to attract investors.
For newbies, don't just jump to work at any bounties you see. I know you take risks but try to precious your time spent. Always DYOR before joining a bounty. ICO today is not that hype anymore.
Topic: Do not participate in non reputed bounty managers campaign (Read 713 times)
Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects. They themselves build a website, run bounty here and scam investors money while promoters receive nothing. Kakatua is one of examples. So, it is always better to only participate in campaigns which is managed by reputed campaign managers like Yahoo, Hhampuz. Remember, it is better to join one campaign a year than hundreds in a month.
That is absolutely true but i have joined a few bounty related telegram groups where members are even complaining of bad or scam campaigns even from reputed managers, some have not being given the reward tokens while they did everything right. So bounty hunting has become unpredictable at the moment.
It's safer for new bounty hunters to join projects from popular bounty managers unless you are very confident about your research skills, most new bounty managers don't do deep research on projects before accepting their offers this is why its wrong to depend on any bounty manager

Kakatua shouldn't be compared to other new bounty managers, this kakatua is a big cheater who wants to scam people by creating fake projects, we need to consider new bounty managers, bounty cloud came into the scene in 2019 and they introduce Veil project which I invested in and still holding till date. 
Hi OP you have a point but that's not always the case with Bounties, I've joined few bounties from well known bounty managers only to end up been disappointed in the end, I like the style that bounty detective team are using, taking control of bounty tokens right from the start is game changer for bounty hunters
...And some of their campaigns have failed several times without number. Though some of the good campaign they have promoted before now; that actually went successful which forum members complaints against was the Basic Finance, this campaign was conducted successfully and many bounty campaign participants got not their payment from the team, "not in all bounty campaign they hold tokens for participants". Although, they are good bounty management team compare to others on the forum. If all bounty campaign managers would help to hold tokens for participants will be a plus to bounty hunters. Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects.
Great to see a bought account telling people how to make the forum a better place and improve the bounty hunting experience for everyone 
The advice is good but as long as there's money to be made people will ignore all the warning signs and keep joining scam campaigns if not with main accounts then at least with their alts. Weren't you doing a similar thing with your alts?
The last sentence sounds like truth. I have long stopped investing in ICO projects because of the many scammers who took part of my free money. IEO now doesn't have such a threat as ICO. Now I'm considering several IEO projects.
Be careful, not all IEO are safe, just because IEO is safer than ICO doesn't mean they are scam free, beware of IEO projects on small exchanges like p2pb2b exchange, exmarket, latoken and few others, no single IEO that raise fund on these exchanges did very well.

It's safer to avoid bounty projects introduced by new bounty managers but what about bounties managed by the Project team? Still sometimes it doesn't matter, every old bounty managers with good reputation today starts from somewhere, they are once newbies to Jr members before
Well said, these days, there are alot of shitty project been managed by bounty managers who only care about their own pocket and not about bounty hunters, Is getting worse day by day but funny enough I still don't know why hunters do always rush to join almost all project without doing their findings if is worth joining or not. Is better doing just one bounty in a year and earn a reasonable amount of money from it than working for all projects and have nothing to show for it.
It's better to join bounty projects from reputable bounty managers to avoid bad results because most new bounty managers only cares about money making so they take any bounty job available without proper investigations, I know it can't be all new bounty managers but majority of them don't care
as long as the bounty brought in has a very good concept and consists of a legitimate team then I think it doesn't matter if join the bounty even though handled by manager not well known.
it is better to join one campaign a year than hundreds in a month.
I will not do that because one campaign in a year may not necessarily make a lot of money 
The Bounty is managed by a good and trustworthy Hhampuz. But I see that this project, Hhampuz uses the payment of BTC and they also limit the account level and the number of participants. Even with a full member account, I often can't participate because of the full participant.
For me actually, before joining the Bounty project, we have to do a check, even though it is managed by an experienced manager. There are a few steps we have to go through because a fake project can happen to all managers.

Not all reputable bounty managers do good research on bounties before taking the job, once the money is good enough and the project looks good that's all, the only bounty manager that takes his reputation damn serious is bubbalex, I don't know about many bounty managers yet but bubbalex has better past histories of successful bounties

Believe me a Bounty campaign cannot be judged by who handles the marketing but be judged by the project itself. For example when i joined hybrix, i didn't know the bm to be very popular amongst altcoins bm and it was a good project and i enrolled. Likewise for oikos project, a defi project, tron platform, good project but average bm, we cannot judge a book by its cover because of few bad bm

I know you are trying to safe bounty hunters from wasting time and energy of useless bounty projects but remember that the future of bounties lies with new bounty managers, look at bounty detective, they aren't perfect yet but they now guarantee bounty payments because team send them tokens for the bounty before the bounty campaign begins, how many bounty managers do this on this forum?

Kakatua is just a very bad one, not all new bounty managers are like him, he is a complete cheat, we need more bounty managers in this space don't you think? All I can recognize this year so far are bounty detective and bubbalex, I'm not into BTC paying campaigns though so I can't talk much about Hhampuz and Yahoo

How I wished all bounty hunters are managed by the likes of Hhampuz, Yahoo and Brainboss, we can be sure that it's going to be well managed and the project is well research ensuring it's potential, but dome managers are in house or part of the team so we have no control of their actions, once the bounty is over the job for that manager is also over.
Telling people not to join bounties from others than reputed bounty managers isn't a very good advice, do you know that new bounty managers can beat reputed bounty managers? We have to give new bounty managers some chances too, some are fast learners out there, they can do better but if they are robbed of their chances we will never know what we've missed.
