Topic: List of bounty projects that end in a scam or void bounty agreement - page 2. (Read 1185 times)

Hi there I received your PM. Im aware of the allegation on blockburn, it was indeed listed on my thread but as far as you know, the issue resurface after the campaign was ended. But prior to that or in the middle grounds there is no such issue during that time. I dont know what you want me to do, since its done already should I removed that considering its on the ended list already? Making a note would be fine but as my latest update, they delay the payment for hunters which is not good but until proven that they will really not pay is probably a signed of scam. They are still trading on the market right but with a very low volume.

Thanks for quoting me. I dont find any good new campaign to add, but just updated some extension on my list. I'm not sure why some people complaining about my list campaign, which I already put a disclaimer that is not a 100% safe but at least they should do their own due diligence. Having a compile list of 100% legit is not attainable, Im not a super genius to offer them that. Anyways, she already pm me about the thing regarding blockburn. Honestly, I dont like the theme or concept of this thread. Better to report each and any discovery scam on an approriate section than making a shitlist that cant help. A warning about a new altcoin project is better than a proven scam which everybody late to realized that but its good as done. Money gone!

May be they are not sharing the truth, may be they are. I have seen in their telegram group that the company behind the project is bankrupted. They are now trying to collect fund for starting the project. The required gas fee is not big. I wonder why julerz12 did not escrow the fee too. Anyway the project seems dying soon.

Essentia is actually not a scam because in the past the tokens were valuable and some of participants got paid from bounty campaign, only that the project is now on the verge of death due to loss of volume and price decline which is quite severe and also many of their roadmaps are delayed.

As far as I know, Blockburn only delayed payments for 3 months from the schedule it was supposed to. If they keep their promises, the distribution will be done in June, we just wait, whether it will be real or there will be other delays.

At least we can learn that not all bounty campaigns are legitimate. Even though the product is good, a good team, already traded in the market, has the potential to be a scam. So, we must do an analysis and be prepared to face all risks gracefully.

I don't know the purpose of this thread that discusses the bounty that ended SCAM because discussing projects that ended scam will not do any good, it is better to discuss projects that have just been launched but have indications of scam. it is like prevention and can help many people

Thankks for the explanation and i also want others to understand that most bounty that turn out to be scam are not usually the fault of the bounty manager. However, i need you to mame it clear so i can understand you about the Geoma project, does they pay the bounty hunters? Is the project scam ? Cause i need to update the OP page.

Thank you for bring this up and I will inform the OP of the thread you mentioned. With that been said, if you read the OP page of this thread you should know that the 9 projects listed is just the beginning so dont jump into conclusion.

Yes, that's right, and I see there are still a number of bounty campaign projects that haven't made payments to bounty participants to date, one of which is swapzilla, even though the team has set a date for its distribution, but that can be changed again.

Why do you think that, they are Africans but maybe they are good people and try to create a good project. I checked this project, they implemented IEO at shit exchange and now they have paused it. Hopefully in the future they can implement IEO in better exchange

Leadwallet? I don't like that bounty projects because the team aren't professionals to me, the website is junkie too, they are Africans looking for money is all I see, I'm not so sure about insure but blockburn was confirmed scam by many bounty hunters, it's really a shame what bounties are becoming

Blockburn, Insure, Leadwallet ... These are campaigns that have failed recently and don't make payments to bounty hunter. Obviously we have too many scam projects and it's impossible to list them all

There are new scam/shitcoin projects presented everyday, a list or thread of this scam projects wouldn't cover all this projects, there will still be so much more not included In the list that'll be a scam project. You can just stop investing in them, or you can DYOR, though even after a research many times, you could feel they are legit, but they turn out not to be, the former may just be the only option imo.
If you do not know anything about a project, you haven't done a research to get information on the team or if they have any shady history with investors or bounty hunters, then you should not join such campaign, only if you don't mind either wasting your money/time.

Never waste time on such campaigns, they look very shady and they will definitely scam bounty hunters and investors. Participate in the projects listed in this market exchange, you will definitely have a higher chance to receive rewards.

If you are planning of making a list of scam bounty projects or bounty campaigns, it should be a long list because there are a lot of people here in bitcointalk forum who are ranting about scam projects. Also, you should be posting this list in the Scam Accusations section to be more accurate and it will be easy for them to look fo this kind of list.

There are too many scam projects in this market, so you don't need to create lists listing them here. It doesn't help everyone, it is better to create a list with good bounty and make payment for bounty hunter.

Hitmex had a conflict against its Bounty Manager, Hitmex accusing their BM of overcharging of payments because they(Kakutoa) will create their own project even their different bounty campaigns have been in jeopardy because of scam accusations towards the bounty magager team. For Digitabits they firmly believe that the hunters did nothing to promote the project and I don't know anything about blockburn but I joined in their campaign though.

It is sad that there are many projects that ended up as a scam. Many people are making efforts and wasting their time just to end up being scammed by such projects. I also participated in scam projects and the  recent project I participated was Emirex. I can't say it is a scam because IEO is still on going and we already received tokens but it's still locked, althouhh it has been months now since we finished campaign. I may say it's a sleeping project for now but hopefully it will not end up as a scam just like those mentioned above.

Damn, I'm almost thinking of participating in Karatcoin but now see this thread. Thank you for saving my time or else it would be waste. I wish we could have a master list kinda like this thread so newbie can check-up before wasting their time.

Probably @cryptoaddictchie is not updating the thread, last update is on May 6, 2020. But, that's just a recommendation for bounty hunters, not always 100% safe. I have tell many newbies/newcomer to avoid bounties, and they always said "No problem, since we know the risk before join a bounty". Then, it's their problem... so listing a potential scam or ended as scam bounty is useless because they're know it before.

Even if you think the blockburn is scam/fake project and should be excluded from safe bounties, why not post it in that's thread, explaining about your opinion and proof or you can send him PM rather than creating useless thread?. As I said before... you need to lists all scam, potential scam, and void agreement project from bounties section, not only 9 project.

I am noticing that more and more fraudulent projects appear in the bitcointalk forum. Most bounty hunters fall into these people's traps, so what should we do to avoid labor exploitation?
If everyone does not have the ability to check the project, I recommend everyone to join the project of the prestigious bounty manager. These include Artezy, Wapinter and Bounty Detective. They are all very reputable groups and management, never run scam projects.

Gas fee! How big is the gas fee to send participants reward that the project owners can't afford! This is really an excuse like you said, if the project is that trustworthy,  I don't think gas fee can be the barrier to send reward, except intentionally they don't want to do it, which ofcourse is no longer news with bounty campaigns and reward payment.
