yes, POA makes thing easier for any bounty campaign but it also makes bounty manager work harder. they must double or triple check it everything in every week. so i think they're not stupid but they just tired.

It's their job it's not an easy job but if they will not implement it it will be chaos, bounty managers will never know who submitted what and when, if they are tired then get an assistant or do not apply to be a bounty manager, we need a well organized bounty or the project will lose it's repuation.

This POA thing actually has beenimplemented for like a year or so by some BM to apprehend cheaters from doing unnecessary things, cause cheaters will always cheat and find ways just to get double or triple rewards by using someone's info. And I think it is effective because I don't see any complains from bounty hunters regarding stealing of profile links anymore.

Thanks for the info. I have often noticed in the spreadsheet information that the deceivers from my social networks were using, but with their wallets. The only thing that upset me was that bounty managers didn't always react when I wrote about scammers

I think we should bind the ETH address for the bounty campaign with an account. This will help with two things one is no one can sell a BTT account because a BTT account can have only one ETH address. Also, scammers will not be able to use the BTT profile for bounty registration because participants will only be able to get payments with the ETH wallets that are connected with their accounts.

This is already been done with btc address, many members in this forum already bind their account to their btc wallet address but that doesn't stop some people from engaging in buying and selling of such accounts, if the owner of the account is the one selling then the buyer will receive the key to the binding wallet which they can claim as their original account,
This solution will result to many problem because some hunters will claim they have lost their keys and so on.

but not all bounty managers need this method. Every project has its own rules, if Mnager Bounty doesn't need Proof of Authentication then you don't have to. It's simple, if you don't want to get a negative Trust or be perceived as spam, then you should carefully read every project rule you want to follow.

I rarely seen the managers who didn't put the POA but they will be using the address as the verification to make sure if that has owned by the real user.
Even the bitcoin campaign needs POA to make sure if the manager can clarify the authentication of the its participants.

It's not all but almost all of managers are using this method.

It's very important to always create Proof of Authentication in every bounty campaigns you join even if the bounty manager don't request for it, why? Because this will safe you from unnecessary red trust from DT members, some cheaters go around stealing people's bitcointalk information to fill bounty forms without you noticing, atleast not until you realise you have got a Red Trust on your profile, this is very common in Telegram campaignsand social media campaigns like Twitter and Facebook campaigns, I want to use this opportunity to pass this information to all DT members and BTT Forum managers and admins, please kindly allow POA from all members to avoid undeserving Red Trust, I've heard from people on here that their POA got removed by admins on this forum, this POA is a life savings in this case don't you think ?? Thank You

UPDATE
Please bounty managers start considering POA, as you can see it will help a lot and will get rid of spammers easily, lack of POA is why cheaters spam your campaigns and since BTT admins can remove POA if you don't ask for it ( SPAM ), please start making POA a must.

I'm not participating in other bounty campaign except the signature campaign so I only need to post once in the bounty campaign thread but if BTT admins and moderators are deleting those reports of POA we cannot do anything with it, they have the right to implement their rules how about for every 1 report participants should first make at least 3 posts in the discussion, so the account will not be tagged as spammers you can suggest this.

That's why it called Bounty Manager. They work harder to remove bounty cheaters in their campaign. POA is important to check who is cheat and who is the real.

I don't think so, it is not about the bounty managers who need this method. This is only for the safety of every members to avoid bounty cheaters. Most of the time, the account of other members here are being used to apply in different bounty campaigns even without their knowledge. To avoid this, POA should be done and I think this is also important.

you got it right. this is for bounty hunters safety. if they don't implement the POA, the innocent and honest hunters will get a bad impact from cheaters. and this is not about the project rules, because i believe bounty hunters will read it carefully before join the bounties. it will be good if the bounties have a limited participants and then implement the POA.

POA is very important but few bounty managers are still stupid enough not to implement it on their bounty campaigns, they are the ones complaining about cheaters joining campaigns with many stolen identities/Profiles, POA makes things lot easier and smooth for any bounty campaigns

yes, POA makes thing easier for any bounty campaign but it also makes bounty manager work harder. they must double or triple check it everything in every week. so i think they're not stupid but they just tired. but it is their responsibility, because they were paid. maybe that is one of the reason why there are still so many bounty that didn't use POA.

Cheating is already happening even before. They take advantage the less strict rules to steal the information of bounty hunters to be able to participate even they are not qualified.

Proof of authentication is good for each user. Its a way for them to know that its your work and to prevent other users stealing your info, but not all bounty managers are asking for it thats why cheaters can take advantage the innocent users.

I was a victim of this fraudulent activities in the past when multiple entries under my username enrolled in a campaign and even though i was reporting it to the campaign manager at that time they did not take any action for the longest part and i was fed up and stopped participating in campaigns altogether but now they are asking for proof of authentication in the campaigns i enrolled and that is the only way to counter these scammers.

Evidence of authentication must be standard on every bounty campaign, but don't rely on just one proof. You can do a proof of ownership the address that you owned by signing a message on your address, and don't forget to include your address on your bitcointalk profile.

My Dream Comes True

We all know cheaters or spammers are not new in bounties, we know more about this when managers make easy rules. I once found that the spreadsheet was almost overloaded because spammed by bot. POA is something very important so that rewards are right to the owner, almost 80% of managers require making POAs and some haven't. Hopefully in the future the bounty will more better.

I totally agree with you about the Proof of Authentication post, definitely needed on every single bounty program since it will verify our participation on the bounty program, avoiding people to use our detail information since they will be consider as duplicate and cheaters. The majority of those cheaters are a Newbie Rank in this forum, I hope bounty project will start consider to excluded Newbie Rank in their bounty.

There are times that newbie cannot be excluded in bounty, except in signature that requires jr member atleast, because even the campaign manager has the same rank. I used to get away from the bounty that almost newbie participates. Proof of authentication really helps to protect our own information and not let anybody to get opportunity to scam.

Yea, you are very right about that, proof of authentication can save us from red trust. The forum is full of scammers, every campaign now has got a lot of potential scammers looking out to use someone's account to get a reward and it is very easy to do in a telegram campaign. I just hope bounty managers and DT members will also help out in this area.

Proof of Authentication sometimes don't do the Magic. Cheaters are smart, they think ahead of the manager that's why they used that tactics to cheat in Bounties
There are some similar cases where they even register a bounty before bacuause they know you will surely apply which if care is not taken, you will end up with a negative trust when you dnt always properly scan through the spreadsheet.
The bottom line is, either proof of Authentication or not, always check out your names and social handles on every campaign so don't fall victim of their traps. It's always hard to explaining to DT members when you didn't apply campaign.

If bounty manager didn't ask for Proof of Authentication then you are not supposed to post POA or else it will be considered as spam post.If you are afraid of red trust then don't join into the bounties and if you found someone using your details for bounty rewards then create thread in reputation section to get them deserved rewards.

I do not think it is fair to day people should not participate in bounty just because they are afraid of wrongfully misunderstood for cheating which result in red trust. It will be OK if all the bounty managers make use of the POA approach. Everyone is not posting the same POA so I don't know why that is considered spamming. Cheating bounty is one of the challenges facing bounty hunting and it must be stopped

It shouldn't be a must. Having user obliged to do POA is a bit of a double-edged sword. Whenever I see a user here doing a lot of those, it is a common mindset here and out that they have the possibility of being a spammer because they're for bounties and earning money.
Bounty managers should at least just check the entries because just slapping a Google Form to be filled poses a lot of vulnerabilities to every users here.
