Topic: Safe Bounty hunters - page 18. (Read 2369 times)
I do not think forum should do anything with checking the projects if they are legit or not, it is the responsibility of the BM and you as a hunter. This is why we need global regulations and that will help to sort our scam projects and teams like Desico.
I hope Bitcointalk will start caring about its people ,there should be new moderators that can fish out bad projects on here to avoid wasting time of bounty hunters ,and about KYC ive come to think of it as many bounty hunters don't like KYC I'm sure if Bitcointalk is the one asking for KYC so as to limit frauds and multiple accounts bounty hunters won't complain, we will follow the rules ,but first 'SAFE US FROM BAD SCAMMY PROJECTS' ,no matter how wise we investigate a project they end up been scam ,scammers are getting wiser as well.looook at desico for example 
Can anyone tell me if he/she knew Desico is a scam from day one? I guess not
Can anyone tell me if he/she knew Desico is a scam from day one? I guess noti think forum itself only have limited ability to protect us from a scam. The member itself will do the due diligence on any project themselves, usually if something feels scammy happen someone will open an accusation scam on the subforum. After proven scam or not trustworthy enough, the moderator can give them a red trust or delete/lock thread.
Again we are not "official company" or something like that, so we can't do a KYC here, furthermore, if we do KYC, isn't contradict what the spirit of decentralization of bitcoin? the one started this forum itself, bitcointalk.
it is important but we cannot demand because it is very difficult to filter out scam projects, believe that bitcointalk must have thought about this even I am sure they have moved because they must be very concerned about all their members including us who act as bounty hunters
so let's wait
so let's wait
I think you should start to care about yourself and not to wait until some forum moderators will spend their time for us. Just investigate the project by your own and you would be able to avoid scam ICOs on the market.
Some projects can be very deceptive and you might find it hard to easily detect they are scam projects. Sometimes, the project developer or team in general might reveal their identity, but because there is no regulation and they think nobody will be able to get hold of them, they then do whatever they like or feel is okay to them. This is why research should be done from the beginning of a project, till the end of it.
Sounds good for all bounty hunters here. If we have that kind of mod that elliminates or bans fraud projects maybe there will be no fraud projects left to be joined by bounty hunters. And i think bounties and altcoins discussion would be cleared out of fraud and scam projects, i hope for this new development in bitcointalk.
I agree, since bitcointalk forum is the number one source of the news of a upcoming projects, they should initiate a crucial review first before approving its post and that can be seen on public. Because the hunters right now are just wasting time for a scam bounty campaign.
Well if that is the case then how much will give you give as part of your bounty campaign to the forum administrator, it is so hard to analyze a good project and even a good project fail, so if Bitcointalk recommend one ICO and it becomes a scam who would you blame, do not pass obligation to the forum, invest at your own risk.
You should not impose this on the admins of this forum, they have nothing to do with how you make money with these ICO, it's your obligation to pick the right project to join and about KYC you cannot request that because this is a decentralized community it's against the principles.

we cannot blame the forum for this situation. those of you who decide to take part in a project that you believe will run well and successfully, and ultimately if something happens to the project. then who is to blame? isn't that your decision from the beginning?
Indeed, now there are a lot of fraudulent projects. And the problem is that the scammers go unpunished. It got to the point that when the project turns out to be honest and pays a reward, I never cease to be surprised!
I agree that we need regulators who will study the project everywhere, and only after that will they allow the project and the team to enter the arena and take responsibility for the bounty hunters.
And in general, need to create an additional thread on Bitcointalk, where to publish fraudulent projects, display a photo of the team and the manager who led the project.

It's very difficult nowadays to distinguish between a legit and scam project.
Scammers became more knowledgeable, they use good Whitepapers, di a lot of external references, take care if social media activity etc. By participating into bounties we assume the risk of being scammed unfortunately.
Before joining any projects, we must be fully aware of potential success nor potential failures, scammers are also learning from the current trend so aside from deep research we also needs to learn more about the team behinds and not only to speculate but we also needed to make more deeper investigations before we go and work for them. Scammers became more knowledgeable, they use good Whitepapers, di a lot of external references, take care if social media activity etc. By participating into bounties we assume the risk of being scammed unfortunately.
KYC itself does not guarantee that the project is not a scam, and therefore there is no particular desire to pass it from the hunters more than once it happened that after passing the project went into the shadows.

External references were created from fake information so by deep research we can identify most of the scam and lot of social activity also can be fake by paid shills and fake review site so we need to see there is actual discssion in the social platforms.

I think it's personal responsibility to select the project as the bounty hunters and it is why you need to know almost everything about the project including the team behind the project. One thing you miss, then it will lead you to get scam by them, and you cannot complain to anyone. There is a good project with a reliable team in out there, and they do not just prove that they are a legit project, but they also have a great project that continues to develop the next phase. So be careful when you want to join as a bounty hunter and make sure you know the project.

If the person does not want to take care of his safety and money, analyzing the project before he invest in it, why it should make the administration of the forum? Can anyone tell me if he/she knew Desico is a scam from day one? I guess not
Why bitcointalk forum should interfere here in bounty? Can't you save yourself and avoid promoting shitcoins? We people just don't do any homework before joining a campaign. Can we please only promote the good projects managed by a good camoaign manager and have a good idea behind the project? It would be better.

I think this forum already did good job to filter which one is good or bad project with see some respond from member in their ANN thread. But it is all depend to us to pick which bounty is good or not, or maybe we must think like investor so not wrong to pick project. Can anyone tell me if he/she knew Desico is a scam from day one? I guess notI still wanna agree to this. I believe if the moderators can step up their game, there should a way to actually still fish this nonsense projects out. However, the fact still remain that much of the works goes to the bounty manager and probably the bounty team.
mods and reputable members of this forum are already helping to bust those fishy projects whie some bounty managers didnt really care on what will he ended up or on what will the participants end up because some bounty managers only care about thier selves . they sometimes pick up a project even if they knew that it was scam but because the pot money is pretty high . he'd rather risk his reputation because of this .
scam ico's are also hard to combat because they are still growing day by day not only on this forum but also on the entire world wide web .
