It's becoming more harder for new projects team to keep their promises to bounty hunters, some even said bounty hunters are getting free tokens for free, meaning bounty hunters aren't recognized for their work, I suggest all bounty managers to start using ESCROW.
I believe with escrow payment will be guaranteed, team won't be able to go back on their words, bitwings for example, after a complete year of waiting for payment they decide to do another audit on spreadsheet and they falsely accused bounty hunters without any proof.
Bounty Detective is the only bounty manager using escrow, if many bounty managers start using escrow it will be better.
I beg to disagree, Julerz escrowed bounty tokens for bounty hunters and all bounty hunters have received their tokens, some managers are escrowing the bounty token which is good, but if the team is trusted and they show good will it's ok not to do escrow especially if the bounty manager is part of the team, like what Oikos has done.
I've seen him doing that in most of his projects, and that guarantees that reward will be distributed after the bounty.
This is good especially if the project is quite successful, but if not, bounty hunters will still have a hard time selling the reward due to its low price or lack of liquidity. For me, I am okay with no escrow, besides, if the team will not pay, it will be their reputation that will be put at risk and the project will fail.
if the payment is in BTC, USDT, and major coins, then there would be no effect regardless of what they will do on the project.
