People from time to time don't get awarded the cryptos or these are very little yet that's promotion and we should average more in another occasion.

Sincerely speaking it is not really easy to detect what bounty is a scam. But one needs to research about the team, the Road map white paper, etc.

What you really need to look at if a bounty is legit or not is the management behind the bounty campaign. Always look at the manager behind the bounty campaign and stay away from anonymous manager or manager with lesser rank.

This is the easiest, if you want to know which bounty scam and which bounty is real. So you have to get a better idea about the bounty's projects. You should read their whitepaper and know about their team members. If you look at these issues, you can understand which bounty scam and which bounty is real.

How do you know if it is a scam? Because I have encountered a bounty that let me finish all the translations first and didn't respond to me after I have passed it. I hope bounties will not be like this anymore because they demand and we did our part but they didn't do theirs. I hope you could answer my question.

there are many ways to check if the bounty is a scam. An impractical platform, the undisclosed team running the project, poorly created website and whitepaper, poor community support, etc. All of these are red flag to signal you to doubt the campaign. Even the bounty manager can show sign of a scam project.

No way of knowing for sure, just have to take the risk, some will be scams and some pay high. Overall the rewards are down a lot though obviously.

Before participating, you should carefully study the white paper and the information provided on the site. It is necessary to carefully study the team of developers and each participant in the team (you can use Google).

The personal information of the developers is not clear, the project is not feasible. Further information such as the development roadmap, project direction, social channels are very faint,.. These are the issues to be in mind

The only way to find out is to look there website, there dev team and the project itself. Sometimes project claims of giving $200+ worth of tokens in bounties, I highly doubt those kind of claims. It's not like there's not any ICO who can give this much in bounties, but still making those kind of claims even before listing is sounds fake

I have one project I joined before that's always asking to invest in their project and asking to buy some of their tokens. One of the scammers' attitude is always asking money and invest in their project. Then to determine if the projects are ok, I look for their members, moderator and admin which I think those who are successful in cryptoworld. Lastly, to their project itself if their project is near reality. I think these things may help to determine which are scammers.

First of all, you must always carefully consider the evaluation and selection of a suitable project. Including study information on the site, project documentation, members of the development team for a general idea of the project and its prospects for further development.

In the first look , you can't determine a bounty campaigns whether it is a scam or not. Most bounties have a much allocated amount of rewards to their programs but I don't usually participate on those bounties because most of the time, too big rewards is commonly an attraction on the bounty hunters' eyes, they goal is to promote their projects and gain investors but at the end they will turned out a scam. This is only my opinions about this issues and no need to be triggered of.

it's easy to figure out if a bounty scam can only be viewed on the website if they have a partner with their website or if their admins are legit and if their company's address is true and if so many supporters and many people join their groups Such research is legit a bounty and sure to pay it after ico so also take into account the bounty so you are not threatened.

We are few bounties that do result in scam but not all of them are scams.  There are many credible bounties.
I also think that there were only few bounties In future which turned as scam otherwise there are thousands of bounties programs and most of them are legit and I hope that they will fulfill their promises. Still we need to be careful and to choose a good place for working there.

Simulators are those projects that usually do not have links to the project team's profile information, or those who are not currently working on the project. It is a lie and cheat investors

Personally, I did not know how to know what bounties are scam and not. However, to avoid being scammed I usually do is read all of the information of bounty in their white paper and also read all of the posted in their annoucement thread and usually alt coins campaigns has a scam bounties. well, you can avoid to scammed if you are aware of the environment of the bounty.

I believe that in order to minimize your risks when selecting a suitable project, you must carefully consider the choice of an appropriate option for work. In particular, it is necessary to study the project documentation, information about the development team, the finished product and plans for further development.

Tips on how I see when a bounty is a scam:

1. If bitcointalk thread seems empty and does not have a lot of details or relevant information about the bounty campaign
2. If bitcointalk thread original poster has red trust or newbie rank, most probably, it's a scam bounty.
3. If there is no spreadsheet to track participant progress.
4. If whitepaper does not exist does not have enough information about the token, developers, and future plans.
5. If the campaign rewards seem to good to be true.
