Topic: Do you trust newbies that starts projects? - page 9. (Read 66145 times)

It depends on the project, there are times that even if the project is being handled by a newbie, the outcome is good or most likely if that newbie is part of the team. Rank is not really the basement if the project is good or not, there are time that even if the project was being handled by a higher rank, the project can still turn out to be a scam project.

The most important factor to consider when choosing a bounty is the integrity of the bounty manager. The rank is not as important as the integrity of the bounty manager, Because what is the point of joining a bounty by a higher rank bounty manger when the project is scam or will refuse to pay. So the bottom line is that your research the project itself before joining the bounty.

There are various possibilities in this, dude. Manager with a newbie rank maybe is an old manager whose account was hacked or got red trust or had other problems,
so the person created a new account.
As long as the project is good I will join the project and always do analysis before joining

did you really trust the projects that using cooper member tag ? newbies is still a newbie. they just created their account some time ago to promote their projects in bitcointalk. they can be a scammer that paid for the cooper member tag. they just cost a little money for doing that and then get a big money for robbing investors money.

I advice you not to base only on that copper mebership. Even with copper membership as long as the one who handles the project is a newbie, it is much risky. Copper membership is only being bought to allow newbie members to post an image for the project. Participating in known or those reputable managers is better than wasting time on possible scam projects.

The real project can't be decided based on their bitcointalk user rank.
Good project might announce their project with their own account or scam project might hiring high rank account to create scam announcement, we don't know. We should trusting the project based on the quality of the project, not on their btctalk account.
But of course, some well known bitcointalk members with high rank are trusted enough, because they are usually doing research into the project before announcing the project.

Yes, I agree with you! The talent and knowledge of a BM is not depends on their rank and the success of the bounty project is depends on the project itself and on their team on how to handle their project properly. There are higher ranks managed a bounty project but at the end it tunred to scam. Much better to check the project very well before promoting it or joining a bounty and don't just rely on the rank.

Do you trust newbies that starts projects?
There are two types of newbies that starts projects.
1. Newbie with "Copper member" tag.
2. Newbie without "Copper member" tag.

When a newbie without "Copper member" tag manage a project then that project is much more likely to be a scam. So I personally don't. participate in that project.

When a newbie with "Copper member" tag manage a project then that project can be trusted somewhat. And you can participate in some such projects after making your own research about it.

I get uncomfortable with bounties that are promoted by new accounts. I feel there's something fishy especially when the reward is in ethereum and the tasks includes social media campaigns. I feel it may be floated to get followers and later change the project account to personal account. I'm more comfortable with a high level account being bounty manager.

Yes, it's true that bounty managed by a ranked manager consider a good project, but it doesn't mean that only ranked managers can bring good quality projects. Sometimes a team member from the project runs the bounty by themselves, so they come with newbie accounts. It doesn't mean that I am recommending bounties from newbie, but I would suggest checking the project quality before joining the bounty. Only by that, you can get a good reward.

Some projects are good but their team will make the project frustrating, for example;
I don't like a project that update their spreadsheet late, I'm would like to know if I need to buckle up on any area as early as possible,
2. Sometimes when it comes to distribution then you begin to see problems from some team,some would have mixed up you address.
3. Some team will not even tell you their is no more distribution, they will silently close the project.....
So, I'm saying the team matters too.

Sometimes the projects that are managed by the entry-level ranks are for the moment very dubious. but if your problem is never getting payment, maybe you missed some news about the distribution of prizes in their telegram group, if the problem is using an experienced bounty manager, do all projects have the initial capital to run the project, surely you already know that all projects They do not have initial capital, therefore they decide not to use the services of an experienced bounty manager, or they may not trust the already higher ranks and it could be that the bounty manager management service fees are too high. that may be one of their constraints, because this year it is very difficult to distinguish which projects are good or not, sometimes managers who have high rankings, often fail to manage the campaign bounty, and all participants do not get payment from managers who have higher rankings. therefore this year is very different from projects in 2017, where many projects from the whole had their own success, even though they did not have initial capital and they did not use the services of managers with higher ranks or those who used the services of managers who had already experienced..

Actually, this is just a matter of our persistence in participating with the prize project, sometimes we forget to make sure more about the project so it won't be in vain in the future ..

I do not really like projects managed by Newbie (bounty manager).  Almost all the projects that I participated in, were managed by the Newbie ended up being a scam.  many developers do not want to spend more money to use the services of a trusted bounty manager as a precaution so that they don't get a red flag if their project fails.  advice from me, be careful if you want to join the project that is handled Newbie..

I certainly not, unless I make sure the bounty really belongs to the project and admin of telegram group confirm that, and I make sure the project is legit and has been added to some exchange or I make sure it is good enough that will go to some exchange after the token sale, participating in some new bounties from some unknown project that running by newbies is just time waisting.

Sometimes there are newbies bounty managers are more reliable than a high rank here in the forum. And there is also some high rank are not reliable as well, in short, whether you are a newbie or high rank here it is still not an assurance to say that the project will become successful in the end, very simple.

What I understand often looking through the bounties managers’ accounts is that the largest part of them resembles fake. No, I cannot yet trust new people that deal with it. I also hope that in future, honest specialists will replace these guys, and we will all feel more protected and safe.

When I see a new project in the bounty section, I don't look at who published it and with what rating.  I start to study the project on my own and decide for myself whether to participate or not. The newbie status does not bother me, everyone was once newbies.

Newbies can't do all of the bounty work. How a new member knows how to manage a campaign. Only experienced members can do it or team members of the project team. We shouldn't trust any rank members campaign, our research is the best. Newbies never bring trust with average project, bounty detective had so many good campaigns but trust is already lost.

Basically, I don't trust it, a newbie should not start the project, they don't have much experience for that. But sometimes I trust it if the project is legit because I see some project using a newbie account, bounty detective is one example, I remember he becomes manager when still a newbie. another example is a new project using a newbie account. So always depends on the project

Guys do not forget that if the project team decides to act dishonestly and refuses to pay bounty hunters tokens for their work then the Manager will not be able to do anything. He is usually in +/- same conditions as we are. And nothing will depend on his rank.
