That time will come and now that many more people are joining bounties it's the best time to start using escrow and limited participants, I will definitely follow such bounty managers that take this more serious, I hope bubbalex start using escrow in near future just like bounty detective
For Bubbalex managers, they will definitely consider this, because he is a manager who is very thorough and on time doing his work when holding a bounty, so be calm for that because everything will be answered over time.

Bounty Detective is the only bounty manager using escrow, if many bounty managers start using escrow it will be better.
Some people will disagree with you on this. I for one. I participated in the AMZ bounty managed by Bounty Detective. But the whole thing was reorganised by the AMZ team after bounty was over as they started asking for KYC. I refused to submit my KYC because I smelt something fishy. The team burnt my 3771 tokens. BD was helpless and couldn't do anything on that. If BD had escrowed the rewards all that wouldn't have happened because my conclusion is that AMZ never wanted to pay participants from the beginning. Otherwise why distribute and then lock the tokens up on their site in the first place when it wasn't originally in the bounty OP? So, I don't think BD is exceptional when it comes to the escrow thing.I think hunters who don't want to do a KYC should always avoid any bounty that has this as caveat: KYC is not required for the bounty campaign. However, the project team has the right to require KYC for suspicious cases. It's a subtle way of telling you they will definitely ask for KYC.
maybe the method you mentioned will be applied if it is effective in the future.
it's just that now there are still many who don't because they think they can handle it, no problem as long as the project you are participating in pays and is managed by a reliable manager.
there was such thing happening in bounty when the manager holds the reserved fund for bounty or promotion as an escrow but I don't know why the practice stopped since then. It's still a good thing if the manager hold the fund as escrow so that there won't be some parties that feels unfair. need to note though, the person handling escrow should be really trusted, because we are not talking about small money. it's just that now there are still many who don't because they think they can handle it, no problem as long as the project you are participating in pays and is managed by a reliable manager.

As far as I know the bounty detective was not handle the distribution but the distribution has been doing by the team itself, CMIIW. Escrow is a must as it will give more guarantee to the promoters of the project. In fact so many times hunters were getting fooled by the scam project.

It's up to bounty hunters to demand and support projects that escrow their bounty, bounty hunters are more than willing to work on longer projects and with whatever rules manager will implement as long as their bounty is guaranteed, we all want to receive what we've worked for, for a long time.
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.

Exactly, some new project team Act like our work promoting very easy, and they even angry with us but they forget our hard work, as You say Bounty Detective is the manager using escrow but participant is too much, so need to think about limitation rules. 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.

I also think it's the safest and best option for bounty hunters like us. I have been going through 8 months of continuous work but don't get any coins. all due to no deposit or some Covid 19 issues, I am very sad that my income has been much worse than 2 years ago. If there are no good bounty campaigns and no benefits guaranteed for bounty hunters, I will quit my job.
8 months is alot but there is a user before that done over 1 year of working and not getting paid .i feel the pain on it . your income is affected but your recieving a payment , not bad and why planning to quit ? do you know what will happen to you when you quit your job . what if you have people depend on you , if not your going to depend on other people which looks more unpleasant . lets only hope for the best on bounty , who knows they will consider this proposal of using an escrow

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.
Correct.
I saw that too.
Even with the most trusted member doing escrow, it ends there.
The project can still fail and that coin will just be another trash in your wallet.
It's difficult to make arrangement on how bounty hunters could be assured to be paid.
It had always been a risk when you join those bounties. You cannot assume it will always end up better.
Best thing you could do is filter what project you will join in.

Escrow is good. But we cant force some projects to give off their tokens to manager especially if the manager is not trusted or known to have reputation. I think there are some manager who can do escrow like julerz12 also aside from BountyDetective. This is the difference from bitcoin paid campaign since the manager are paying in btc and easily can be escrow to them like Hhampuz. But we can only see rare managers like that most dont do that and turn into scam.
The importance of escrow service can not be overemphaiszed as it gives to an extent some degree of insurance to avoid unforseen challenges that may occur mostly as it conceerns the services rendered by individuals with no corperate entity backings. escrow servie has helped a lot in its own way and should be applauded.
actually your intention is good, but if you have received the token from the bounty there is no exchange to trade the token do you like it ??
for bounty now it is not as beautiful as its heyday as in 2017, so it's already too complex the problems that are in it, it's better to use your free time is not too focused just one bounty.

This will be a game changer if every single bounty managers start using escrow, team will be completely powerless over bounty allocations, it's just going to be bounty managers and their fellow bounty hunters, honestly I don't like the interference on project teams in bounty hunters stuff, most times they cheat 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.

You are right that all bounty managers ask for escrow so that payments can be guaranteed, but out there are also bounty managers who are selfish. If he manages a project he is paid but does not care about the participants.
bounty with escrow does guarantee payment to the bounty at the right time, and can also increase the trust and enthusiasm for bounty hunters to work harder. to be honest, now there are already several bounty managers who implement it, it's just that it all depends on the project as well, if it looks potential, then many people will be attracted to it. well, it's just beyond that, the team also needs to develop the project so that the tokens they make can have a worth price. 
Bounty Detective is the only bounty manager using escrow, if many bounty managers start using escrow it will be better.
no, he is a new manager and not the only one who uses escrow services because the previous manager already used escrow. This is only a message for all bounty managers to use Escrow before starting a campaign 
You are right that all bounty managers ask for escrow so that payments can be guaranteed, but out there are also bounty managers who are selfish. If he manages a project he is paid but does not care about the participants.
So the fund that should be escrow is should be for the participants to guarantee the payment of the participant, bounty managers will be paid but if they will not let his participants get their rewards or payment, the result will be negative on his side since he will be tagged as bounty manager who didn't pay, before when ICO became too popular there are plenty of bounty manager but since it's not on their control whether the team will really play they are to blame, sadly that times escrow were not yet popular so we must find now projects that really do provide escrow, especially if they are set to pay only after the success of ICO.
So are you guys saying that having an escrow is not a #1 rule when it comes to conducting bounties 
? I'm surprised to be honest (sorry if I'm not familiar how things in the bounty section works) because I thought it was necessary even when when we are only talking about not so valuable tokens. Because money is money — every drop counts. All bounties should have escrow from now on like the sig campaigns. It is essential because it doesn't only protects the hunters against scam but also strengthens the reputation of the project.

Dude there are lots of escrow services to choose from. Here is the list: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recommended-bitcointalk-escrow-services-2439910 . Though not updated or maybe others are not yet included, I can guarantee you will feel secured if you have them on your bounty campaign . 
This is already happening. There are some bounty managers who accept only projects which have good potential.
But there are so many bounty participants that all the good bounty campaigns gets filled quickly hence people have to move towards bounty campaigns which have less potential and are often scam. So it's the bounty participants who have to stop participating in less potential bounty projects.
unfortunately there is no bounty campaign that can provide a guarantee of success because so far as I know many bounty campaigns are finished until the end but they are developers who do not pay bounty campaign participants so that is what causes the bounty campaign is no longer valuable. But there are so many bounty participants that all the good bounty campaigns gets filled quickly hence people have to move towards bounty campaigns which have less potential and are often scam. So it's the bounty participants who have to stop participating in less potential bounty projects.
