Topic: ICO devs should fear bounty hunters!! (Read 920 times)

I've got a better idea, how about you dont' work for terrible companies?
Also, how about you learn from your experiences.

You have a high rank in bitciontalk, it's hard for me to believe that you Don't have experience.
Or perhaps you bought your account?
You should have enough experience to be able to tell which projects are worth promoting and are professional.

If you don't take the time to vet an ico before signing up to work with them, then you have only yourself to blame.
For me personally, I have not seen the pattern of suddenly changing terms, not paying, or sudden kyc in reputable and professional projects.
It is more common in spam icos, shit icos, or scammy ones.

Quality over quantity, it is really important in not just bounty hunting, but in investment as well.

That is something that is very easy to say but it is almost impossible to achieve, you must understand that bounty hunters are also competitors, they want to get in the best bounty campaign they can and every spot that a bounty hunter takes is a spot that another person wants and that now is unable to get, scammers know this and they are capable of maintaining bounty hunters separated so they cannot pressure icos as a group.

They really should, right now the devs are acting as if they have all the power but they are forgetting that the bounty hunters are one of their most efficient ways of promoting their coins and if the bounty hunters decided that they were no longer going to do any bounties that it would greatly affect them. We bounty hunters do not realize the kind of power that we wield

Bounty hunters coming together and uniting against these devs won't be such a bad a idea, because sometimes the bounty managers get affected by the scam attitudes of these devs. Imagine working for months and not getting paid. I once remember the Essentia where the devs of the projects went AWOL on the bounty managers and months of work went down the drain. Bounty hunters should have one voice and fine ways to make these devs accountable.

Bounty hunters likes us are taken lightly by those devs that are full of themselves. Without us, their project won't exists at all nor even succeed. SO they must treat us as important as their project's success lies upon us all. It's sad that these crooks are really giving delaying tactics or even not paying at all even they have reach full capacity of project's success.

This is related to the ICO project. Good ICO project teams will respect the people who do the rewards. They usually need someone to help them. But bad ICO projects will use a lot of things to deceive, so essentially the quality of ICO is declining and many investors have left ICO.

I am strongly with you on this. I share every point and sentiment with you. We have been taken for granted for too long. There should be adequate payment or compensation for every ICO project we the bounty hunters promote.

We are starting a revolution. We will no longers stand for criminals. There is no place for criminal scum in crypto. They the ones that give crypto a bad name and stop your average joe from investing. Scam ICO needs to die.
We must protect the investors and ourselves. Remember the investors basically pay us we need them and they us. Let us join together against this.


Exactly my friend.


The thing about cheating the bounty is crap too. If you have 3 twitter accounts and enter 3x in a bounty you still doing 3x the work and it is still 3x twitter accounts. I would rather have 1 guy who tweets quality to have 10 accounts then 10 separate people that tweet crap all day.


I agree and this irritates me too but so many bounties have such little info. I mean is it so much work just to add the current status of the bounty in bold red on the first page. Some bounty oyu must look through each page for the info and that is crap. All info should be right in your face at all times so nooone has any excuse to complain.





Guys the ICO bounty hunter/investor protector telegram account will be made soon you must all join. We will talk about how we go from there, maybe we need our own website where people can report scams too. Let us try create a community of bountyhunters who pick out the best bounties and most legit projects so we get paid. Maybe as a group we can even offer a private bounty.
I think it is best.

So it is like this.

We form a group and we then approach an ICO we like and offer then our bounty service. Once they accept we ask for an escrow of the tokens and we will paid out using these excrowed tokens. This token pool will be ours  ours only so the risk is very small. Together as a group we can make more money.

If we can get 25 or more bounty hunters together we could do this. We will offer premium bounty service of high quality bounty hunters who do not spam and have high quality content. Of coarse we will be paid extra for this. I believe this is fair since there so many bounty spammers and people who just get paid and dump and don't actually care for the projects.


We plan to enter their telegram groups in swarms. Your support will be appreciated my fellow bounty hunter. xD

Well I already saw some bounty hunters who really did something when they are not being paid. I saw some who made articles that really attacked the coin and spread it to the telegram chat. Acts like this should be done in order for us to be recognized.

Well some Devs are easily irritated in their telegram channels if they see question is being ask repeatedly but I cannot blame them because some bounty participants don't even read the message above them before asking but that is not enough reason for the Devs to be arrogant towards bounty hunters.

These are the only things that we can do which we can spread out the things they have done but eventually its already too late since they do already have the money.
They might ruin their reputation but they don't really care at all because later on they would create another project and repeat the same thing again and as a bounty hunter we should really
be vigilant but sometimes these problems cant really be avoided because such changes is being made after the sale so we wont have any choice either comply or pass.

Unfortunately, this happens lately or most of the time where bounty hunters are being treated like animals. The Devs are short tempered where they will be asked repeatedly where in fact, it is their fault from the beginning for not handling the bounty properly or even posting an update for the hunters effectively. There are many ways to inform us or give us an update like using spreadsheet questionnaires or a pinned post from the telegram group or the main thread. We are also an employee of their project so we better be treated equally and not like a beggars.

I see dev to be a real problem this technology will have for scamming hunters and believe they can go away with it , if they found someone cheating in their campaign then it is the work of the bounty manager to disqualify such participant but not calling all cheater and not paying the reward allocate or asking for kyc after bounty is totally out of it, I think many hunters are hungry one and why they think is the only mix to survive and they are limiting themselves , I participated in a bounty which allocate 8.5mln token and after the end they just change the reward to 500k which is totally scam by asking everyone to join telegram and chat there to get some big reward and so many stop and some have to continue and when I asked they said they have no option than to comply which is very wrong , the dev need to accept our condition not them doing anything they feel .

I've had my fair share of unfortunate incidents of not getting paid, or being underpaid for that matter. Like you, I also dream of having a platform that would police or protect the interest of bounty hunters who dedicate so much of their time to do what they are asked to do. It's very sad that there are some BM who would reduce the pool by 10x and will come up with any reason/excuse they can think of. It's too bad. And very sad.

This is what you guys should actually be doing. Instead of going back to them again after getting scammed (which encourages them more to scam people), just make people aware of their doings. Let people know how irresponsible they are. They will eventually straighten up and this will gradually cause ICO developers to stop scamming people. Take proper steps, once you know they will not pay your rewards, step back and spread the word of their scam.

I think it is a trick for us, at first they don't ask for kyc so that more bounty participant are attracted to the project but then afterward they change it and need kyc to claim the rewards, we don't have a choice and to give what they want because we also losing if we don't follow, I don't know also if we can what we can do about this problem, maybe this forum admin has something to do and make new rules.

There should be a way to do this but i dont know how. I heard some of the people are opening scam accusation thread for the developers and projects which scammed bounty hunters, but i cant recall any good results on that side.

Rightly said, bounty hunter should be more appreciated when it's come to payments, we deserve to be taken as the first priority because we immensely help the project to succeed by advertising them to the public.

it seems like it has become a risk for the bounty hunters, and we must be prepared for the worst results. because there really is no legal rule that protects the bounty hunter role. so my advice is to be more thorough before joining the project

Recently, Bounty Hunters very often cheat and do not pay out earned tokens. In addition, today it is very common to provide personal data for each member of the company's Bounty and fill out a KYC form. This contradicts the logic in general and the very idea of ​​KYC.
