You are wrong because there are many scam bounty processing right now. Recently i have been participate a bounty Elixpad and we got our bounty token but no value. It show me because team now offline even there official telegram group already delete with other social channels inactive so maybe elixpad gone to scam.

One of the major things to consider before doing bounty is to look at the reputation of the bounty manager, has he or she had lots of successful bounty programs before, I believe that any reputable bounty manager on this forum will not want to have a bad project attached to his name, they will do their research before accepting any bounty and moreso bounty program that the team of the project run by themselves mostly do scam only few of them are genuine

There are many professional manager doing promoting scam bounty. Here i would say scam is a special reason that professional managers are using escrow to manage their bounty. Moreover, there is nothing to be surprised about because we are not able to sell the token after receiving it because the token is not getting any exchange.
because you will see in reviewing that all those projects have become inactive so it is a worthless token. Anyway we can get confirm token from professional bounty manager but mostly lot of worthless token.

for now I think the bounty scam has been reduced because there are some bounty managers who have held tokens for participants first to ensure the participants get their rights, so now there are many factors that make it difficult to scam bounty

How do you say so?

If we do see less bounties as of this moment compared into the past then it does signifies that there is indeed some realization out of those scammy devs that they arent getting that much attention
since there are no people who do join up these bounties because they are mostly scams.

I do rather believe that there are even more scam projects in the market as of today even though there are some which are legit or does have potential
but that would really be just like finding a needle on a haystack even though how hard you do make out some research.

There used to be a lot of bounty scams and I decided not to post them since August 2019. I was very disappointed to see the bounty in 2019. A few days ago I met one of my friends who said that if there are fewer bounty scams now, is that true?

You have experience too much in 2019 ? then how come that 2020 and forward will be the good year?

how would you expect that Bounty will improve when year after year the scams increasing here and there.

Lol , Bounty scam reduced? or maybe hunters learn their lessons now and not joining scam projects.

He won't have that conclusion if he didn't experienced it. I don't know if what is the state of bounties during that year but if ever they improved, wouldn't you liked it? Because it seems you prefer the classic bounties where the number of legit bounties are fewer than the scammed ones. You and @Andam76 got a point. In the past, there are less to none managers that escrows the token but later on they are now making it as a practice because scams have become rampant.

This is what the hunters are looking for, they check if there's an "escrow" word before they join. They already learned their lessons. The introduction of stable coins and alts like bnb, matic and similar coins, have also helped reduce the number of scam bounties because they are now being used for payments instead of project tokens.

I agree with you that now the number of scam bounties has decreased. Because now the bounty managers are aware of this and some active members of the forum are doing research on it. But even if the bounty fund is escrow, it can be a scam if the contract address of the escrow token is changed, such as Burst money bounty.

some people run bounty without noticing the bounty is run by scam and many projects do not come to stand only to collect from people and move away it very clear but some people don't understand it that way' i will disagree with you because what you said is true by bounty projects

many bounty scams or not, I don't know but for sure, if you want to join the bounty now choose a trusted Bounty Manager now, in my opinion

I have participated in a lot of bounty of trusted managers at this forum. But not every campaign is successful, sometimes they still manage the scammer projects and waste of bounty hunter time. It is best to do your own research, selecting the campaigns according to your evaluation

good thing you have shared that experience of yours because many people are still blinded by that . they say choose a trusted manager to escape scams but i dont believe this hundred percent and im correct with it because you here also experience it for real while i myself have stop joining a bounty long time ago . scams are still too much till this date so his friend could be lying or only a newbie on this world of bounties because he arent aware of others feedbacks.

Well this year I don't know if the bounty scams are few now because I participated bounties in the past and some of them were not paying yet because the reason is we are on pandemic, some were extended the date of distribution of the reward, it sucks you know.

I cannot really comment as I have not been active in the bounties section for 2 years now,,, but from what I can see online, the bounty portals have either closed down or are very inactive. Even now and then I can see YT videos promoting some bounty for easy money,,, but still I do not think these people actually pay out, because they attract scammers and people who just ask about listing or when can sell or whatever.

We can't tell yet, believe me when I say that not all that glitters are of gold, not all these bounties that looks less scamming in front of everyone of you will end well, some will turn scam and some won't pay you when bounty is over, there is no way to know until bounty is over

Yes because only few of them now succeed and got listed in an exchange, many of the ICO back then are just in it for the money nothing else still today many of the projects are just looking for a quick buck, bounty managers are here to manage bounties but if they do investigate the project they are holding is an added bonus.

no, not yet. because now I still see many scam ICO projects. But now we have the Bounty Detective. They are one of the biggest followers on Telegram and they only choose the best projects to manage. We can say that bounty programs are better now with Bounty detective. Besides, I still see a lot of trash bounty.

The best bounties on the forum right now are managed by good bounty managers, wapinter, julerz12, bubbalex, bounty detective, so yes scam projects are now limited, bounty detective manages many bounties so far, like over 7 projects this year, that's many to get bounty hunters very busy

Currently, It's hard for us to research whether it's a good bounty or not, Because now the Scammers have found a way to convince the Bounty Hunter, They made a project that seemed like a good one with a reliable team, even though it was a fake team. It's better to join Bounty where their tokens are already listed on Exchange.

Not hard as all of us are thinking because there are more scam busters in our forum who are really doing hard work to find out the scammers and report about the scam projects in "Scam Accusations" section, also high rank/DT members flag the bounty manager users to warn the bounty hunters that the project is scam one. Inspite all of this, sometimes many of the scam projects list in the exchanges with a good price and many of the bounty hunters think that it might genuine as the coin's listed in exchange ( sometime i regret for not joining the bounty which has scam accusations flag but listed in exchange) . But it's a wrong thinking because the price of that coin dump in a large scale before the bounty distribution. Mainly, they are the previous scammers who has some funds from the previous scamming and use that funds to list the current project in order to attracting new investors and they left out when they get some new investor's funds. That's the simple tricks to run a scam project even listing in a exchange without any real use-case of blockchain. Grin

that's right. in 2019 it seems 80% of the bounty campaigns are scams and we are the most disadvantaged. But now we're back to legit bounty but the pool is very low. Currently, Wapinter and Bounty Detective are managing many of the most prestigious and quality projects. You can join their bounty group to search for good projects.

True! As a bounty hunter, I recognize that I have been doing a lot of research whenever I want to join a project. You guys are right about scammers! There'll be more and more people who will do bad things for their own behalf, however, we will be wiser and more careful in making any decision in this cryptocurrency world!
