You won't trust them again if they did something bad to you and I am pretty sure that not everyone could've seen it coming because there weren't any active accusations about Student Coin before they did the dirty deed. That's why a lot of people have been staying away from Bounties lately, there is only a few good left bounty campaign anymore.

Before joining any bounty, it is the responsibility of the participants to find out the details of that bounty project. Because, most of the bounties fail and without paying the bounty hunters, those projects remain in the market without any hassle.

The bounties that a reputed manager brings are little more guaranteed to get paid for those bounties payment. So these things should be kept in mind before joining any bounty.
The problem with that though is that not everyone has the time to research plus most bounties look promising and legitimate at first so it's really hard to find if it is a legitimate bountry or not.

I participated in student coin bounty and they really disappointed they scammed bounty hunters by not paying the amount which they promised to pay us. We bounty hunters did our work by marketing for the coin and they ended up paying hunters little amount which is very bad. For the team to scam bounty hunters definitely I don't really trust the team and I don't trust the project so everyone have to be careful with the coin.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Social media bounty campaigns is not really waste of time but selection of participants should not be first come first serve but moderated just like the ways signature campaigns are run by choosing the most active and responsible participants. Cheats and spammy posts are always found on bounty campaigns which should not be so. Also penalty should be given to people that failed to adhere to the rules of a bounty campaigns not just deciding not paying them.

I understand Bakasabo's point is from the project side. In addition to wasting marketing time, of course, a waste of funds. I'm not sure even 1% of the hundreds to thousands of bountydetective's social media bounty participant accounts have caught the attention of their followers.
Social media has turned into a space for scammers, people are starting to doubt investment requests from others on social media.
Social media only moderates advertisements (and even then it is doubtful), but does not moderate posts.

I agree with the members above that if a project wants to pay for good quality promotion, avoid social media campaigns. Unless they just want quantity, or basically want to avoid paying like this is the case.

Nobody should be hiring Bounty Detective to run their bounties, unless they want low-quality work with the chance of being extorted.

Projects simply should stop running social media bounty campaign, because it is total waste of money. All the information is shared among one and the same people. Most of twitter followers are fake and #followback accounts, all facebook friends are fake/bounty hunters/those who will never invest. LinkedIn - I think this is not even a place for bounty. It just just combines same lazy and greedy hunters from facebook and twitter campaigns.

Instead of social media bounties, projects would better use same budget to add an article on popular news platform or put a banner for a week somewhere.

You can't generalized it, it could still attract investors as not all participants are doing that, taking that away is a bad idea, maybe just decreasing the reward would help as the job is too easy, some projects just require a once-a-week tweet and share the task.

Signature campaign might help a lot as some investors are here in the forum looking for projects to invest.

Never seen social media campaign, that asks to do retweet/tweet/share/post once a week.
Perhaps you are right, maybe some social media campaign hunters could attract someone, but I really doubt that. Check any social media hunters account for his followers and friends - hard to see "not a hunter" among them. I havent seen a single bounty hunter buying projects altcoin. I will stress on bounty manager must be more selective while choosing participants to the campaign. Take first 200-400 is not the best option to select participants.

We bounty hunters did our work by marketing for the coin and they ended up paying hunters little amount which is very bad. For the team to scam bounty hunters definitely I don't really trust the team and I don't trust the project so everyone have to be careful with the coin.

It is always funny to read how hunters that just add hashtags while doing 5 weekly retweets complain more than others or say “we work hard and must be paid”.
Oh yeah, that standard story about "hard work" which in reality consists of 5 minutes per week for tweets, and a little bit longer than that for paraphrased or text spinned article. That of course doesn't mean that they shouldn't be paid for the work done, but they should stop kidding themselves that what they do is hard, or that is crucial for project's success.

C'mon man

It is always funny to read how hunters that just add hashtags while doing 5 weekly retweets complain more than others or say “we work hard and must be paid”. If you ask that kind of hunters what is the project about that he promotes, with 99,99% probability he wont answer instantly and say “lets me check wp or give me 5min”. How long was that bounty? 12 weeks? 12 week * 5 retweet * 1min max for task to be done = “we worked hard”

As with everything else in this accusation, the $70 million figure is out of context. $70 million is the peak value of the ICO proceeds at ETH's highest price.
I see, thanks for explanation. So he picked up the number that fits his little narrative the best Cheesy



Regardless, without posting the contract contents between the coin team and the bounty manager, this just looks like an extortion attempt to cash in on a successful project.

Clearly Bounty Detective was hoping to use sympathy from the Bitcointalk community as leverage (that idea already sounds stupid as I type it) for what appears to be an extortion scheme.
This part of the conversation (in the screenshot below) says much about bounty manager, and that his client's interest is very low on his priority list. Despite huge amount of bounty hunter's work being rejected, he insists that bounty pool is fixed and that it shouldn't be adjusted. To me that doesn't make any sense, and generally this stake system is seriously flawed unless bounty pool is can be adjusted, depending on the amount of bounty hunters that did proper work. Unless you adjust it, you end up with someone getting 10k USD for a lousy article and that is just wrong, imho.





Coin teams need to pay more attention to the quality of work that precedes the bounty manager's reputation if they want to avoid issues like this.
Those altcoin teams obviously have no clue about bounty campaigns, since they are willing to allocate such a huge amount for bounty campaign. Bounty managers probably promise them thousands of quality bounty hunters and that's how they persuade them to allocate unrealistically high amount.

The ICO had a hard cap of $21 million which was raised well ahead of deadline. It concluded on April 23 or 24, but then the team extended "bonus funding rounds" which apparently brought the total raised to "above $50 million" by May 1st. The price of ETH (most of the funds were raised in ETH) went up almost a thousand dollars between May 1st and May 8th.

https://micky.com.au/student-coin-ico-hits-50-million-in-70-days-what-is-behind-the-hype/

On May 25th, the day this thread was opened, ETH had retraced back to its May 1st price. That means the ICO amount was $70 million only at ETHs peak.

Regardless, without posting the contract contents between the coin team and the bounty manager, this just looks like an extortion attempt to cash in on a successful project.

Hah yeah, you are probably right. It still baffles me how bounty hunters (and Dave here is not an exception but a rule, I saw that before ) think that they are somehow crucial for  altcoin project's success while in reality their reach is almost non existent. I can't imagine anyone reading some poorly written Medium article and then deciding to invest.

Bounty Detectives promoters diligently engaged in this exercise and raised $70 million for the Student Coin Company, again the promoters’ efforts attracted more than Twenty Eight Thousand Community members to the Student Coin Community group. These members were investors.
C'mon man, you really think that because of bounty hunters activity Student Coin managed to raise $70 million? Out of curiosity, I decided to check your Twitter and work that you done for Student Coin Bounty, so here are few examples of your tweets:
https://twitter.com/okocha_chika?s=08



Your whole Twitter history consists of similar tweets; few tags and link of the original tweet. Despite having more than 10,000 followers, the only likes you were getting for these tweets are your own (LOL), so what kind of reach are we talking about here? No one liked/retweeted/commented on your tweets, yet you claim that bounty hunters like you had  main role in Student Coin raising $70M. For that work you were supposed to get ~64,000 tokens that are currently worth ~$960. Insane amount of money for such subpar work and non existent reach.

For that amount of money (200 million STC currently worth $3M) Student Coin could have hired some top tier Twitter/YouTube influencers and pay for professionals writers with the real reach, so no wonder that when they saw the work, they dramatically reduced the bounty pool.

Don't get me wrong, it sucks that bounty hunters keep getting scammed over and over again, but you should really consider some due diligence before joining bounty campaign. You see campaign with inflated bounty pool like in this case? Instant red flag, as simple as that!

A HIDEOUS CRIME CARRIED OUT BY A CRYPTOCURRENCY COMPANY CALLED STUDENT COIN

On the 29th of January 2021, the core team of Student Coin reached out to a promotion agency called Bounty Detective to carry out a promotional campaign on their behalf. The Student Coin core team agreed to pay 200 million STC tokens worth then $1 million to the Bounty Promoters two weeks after the promotional exercise ended. The exercise was designed to last for 12 weeks and spanned across various campaigns such as Social Media Campaigns, Translation Campaigns and Video Campaigns to mention a few.



The essence of a promotional exercise is to create awareness and to orientate investors on the intricacies, activities and objectives of a cryptocurrency project. Upon the successful orientation, the investors can decide to participate in the Initial Exchange Offering for the purpose of financially supporting the project. The Investors are rewarded with tokens at an affordable rate with the intention of reaping profit when the token gets listed in a stock exchange and appreciates in value.



Bounty Detectives promoters diligently engaged in this exercise and raised $70 million for the Student Coin Company, again the promoters’ efforts attracted more than Twenty Eight Thousand Community members to the Student Coin Community group. These members were investors.



Bounty Detective is a medium scale company that is global in nature. Its core team has less than ten staff but more than Two Hundred thousand active promoters. The team is predominantly based in Europe and Asia. Bounty Detective receives promotional offers from accredited Cryptocurrency Companies. Upon the conclusion of a contract; the team presents the job to its community members who apply to work for a stipulated duration of time. The team is compassionate, diligent and truthful to its community members and prioritises their welfare and safety above anything else.



Student Coin on the other hand is a project that comprises of more than 500 Universities under its umbrella. These universities consist of Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Warsaw, New York University, Imperial College University and Kozminski Universities to list a few. They are also available in 36 countries. The genuine purpose of the Student coin project was to enlighten undergraduate and graduate students on the essence and intricacies of the Cryptocurrency market, Cryptocurrency exchanges, Decentralized Finance and Blockchain technology. Student coin also aimed to teach students about personal finance, allowing them to trade, invest and learn about digital assets. The Student Coin core team proposed to build the globe’s largest educational database.

 

THE PROBLEM

The Student Coin core team approached the Bounty Detective Company to execute a promotional exercise on their behalf. This was the second campaign the Bounty Detective (BD) core team was conducting for Student Coin. The first Campaign was conducted last year and upon the successful completion of the first campaign and the tremendous result achieved, the Student Coin Core team decided to run a round two promotional campaign which was grand in nature. The payment for the first campaign was successfully distributed to the Bounty Detective’s participants in their respective wallets and there was no cause for alarm; everyone went home smiling.

 

During the aggressive promotion for the round two promotional exercise, the STC digital asset appreciated from $0.005 per token to around $0.07 per token. It was clear that the promotional exercise was yielding tremendous results coupled with the acceleration of the cryptocurrency market by the present Bull Run. The promoters were happy and continued working hard. The total payment was expected to be above $10 million or the initially agreed 200 million STC tokens. But upon the completion of the project, the Student Coin Core team realized that they would have to pay “so much money” to the Bounty Detective Promoters and devised a scheme to trick them.



Firstly, the team said they would offer the promoters the options of receiving their payment in the initially agreed STC or in Ethereum. The purpose of this option was to preserve the price of the STC token from promoters who would want to sell immediately after their payment. The promoters saw this as an excellent offer. Some decided to get the ETH digital asset payment and some still decided to receive their work payment in STC form. We all filled out a form to this effect.



Couple of hours later, the Student Coin core team sent a message to the Bounty Detective team that all payment would be made in Ethereum form in total estimation of the current price of the 200 million STC digital assets. A lot of people still welcomed the idea, but some started speculating in their minds. The Student Coin core team restricted access to write in their Bounty Telegram group and left the view only option available. Not less than 1500 Bounty Detective promoters participated in the Campaigns and they were all shut out by the Student Coin core team.

 

On the 23rd of May 2021, a Sunday to be precise, the Student Coin core team distributed less than 5% of the total agreed payment. I myself was expecting to receive $10,500 in Ethereum or approximately 420,000 STC tokens for my work performed across Twitter, Linkedin and Publication Campaigns but I was paid $220 for them all. It was like a mirage, the entire 1500 promoters stormed into the Bounty Detective group since they received similar treatments and the commotion began.

 

STUDENT COIN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER VS BOUNTY DETECTIVE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.

The Bounty Detective Chief Executive Officer quickly communicated with the Studen Coin CEO and his real hideous intentions were revealed. He claimed that our work did not generate any traffic to his site and that our work was totally useless. The Bounty Detective CEO tried to remind him of their initial agreement and that breaking the agreement was not allowed. Multiple companies pay the promoters their full wages whether the fund raising exercise were successful or not.  It was an initial agreement that was reached before a promotional exercise was initiated.



The CEO of Bounty Detective pleaded with the CEO of the Student Coin Company not to do what he was proposing to do. We raised $ 70 million for them. Promotional exercises are conducted to let investors know that sales are going on for a particular project. Upon an internal deliberation from an investor, he or she can decide to head to a website and make a worthy purchase to support a project. It is never mandatory that a purchase must be made from a promoter’s link. Infact, from the Student Coin’s core team, this would attract a 20% bonus for any promoter that successfully sells through his or her referral link. But primarily, our work is to orientate investors on the need to partake in a project through various selling points.



The Bounty Promoters have reported to the officials of Coinmarketcap, Kucoin and other numerous exchanges Student Coin’s digital asset STC is listed on, Bitcointalk high ranking officers and to other investors in Twitter platform have also been notified by the Bounty Participants. The promoters have been depressed since the heinous crime was performed.

 

A HUMBLE GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION

I humbly request the Polish authorities to step into this matter. The Student coin Head Quarter registered as Student Coin Edu Chain Limited and is located in Malchowski Square 4, 00-066 Warsaw Poland. The name of their Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is Wojciech Podobas and his personal number is +48694458409.



I am reporting to the Polish Police Authorities, Security and Exchange Commission and Internet Crime and Complaint centre, a division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for their thoughtful intervention.



These kinds of actions are unthoughtful and uncalled for. Labourers should be rewarded their wages.

I humbly request that the Polish Police authorities order Mr. Wojciech Podobas, the CEO of Student Coin to pay us our complete funds.



Attachments, regarding proof of the events would be attached.

I hope justice is served and that International Labourers are paid their wages from Polish Companies.

I anticipate your swift positive action,

I agree that low quality work should be paid, but this should be discussed before bounty campaign started. And quality control team should involve on several bounty stages, but not month after campaign is ended. But saying like "you know, months has passed since you've done your work, and we decided to check if it was useful for us or not" is an act of cheating.

If you promise me to deliver a cow three months from now, I will not pay if you deliver a goat. And I shouldn't need a "quality control team" to check if you have a cow, if you're milking it on time, and if you're hiring responsible employees who aren't gonna eat the cow for dinner one day.

The question is whether BountyDetective promised a cow, a goat, or a dead squirrel. They seem to have delivered the latter but I doubt that was the deal.

That's how a scam project works, they seemed to make it complicated for bounty hunters so they can qualify their scams.

According to the bounty manager, the team had already said that they will not pay the bounty hunters, there's nothing we can do now to collect the real amount of bounty, we can only conclude that they deceive the bounty hunters to raise more funds.

Thanks for all the support of the DT members here, I really appreciate your comments, you've done your job very well guys, keep it up.

We are a group of investors and we hold a decent amount of Student Coin so we are concerned about this situation. We don't know who is right and who is wrong simply because neither STC Team or Bounty Hunters are willing to reveal the agreement contract. We find it very weird and shady when both sides claim to be right but no one is willing to provide the contract with all the rules and requirements. Please provide us the full information of the contract to make things clear. Thank you.
The investors and the bounty hunters are the ones that is on the pinch in this situation, the team can just abandon everyone and make it a scam but I have high hopes that the team is going to do the work that is needed to clear all this problem.
Haha, if you are thinking that the student coin team are going to turn around now and decide to make another round of payment to bounty hunters all in the name of clearing all this problem, then think again mate, this isn't even a problem to student coin team, I mean they have all the money to drive stc to success even amid all the fud and anger from bounty hunters, am also participated in student coin bounty myself, and it's not like am happy with the way the whole payment process went, but then, there isn't much I can do, so I've just decided to forget about all the fud and move on, even to prove to myself that I have forgiven student coin team, I decide to invest some good amount of money on stc which I bought yesterday, so I advice everyone of us to forget about all this fud on student coin and move on, all this fud won't make or break student coin.

CEO of Student Coin in telegram channel pinned post says that bounty hunters generated almost nothing, said that bounty hunters made low quality content and did not help to promote project at all. That can be true, sometimes bounty hunters share retweet post info only among each other, sometimes work they do are useless. But that does not mean they must not be paid what they were promised. It was Student Coin fault not to follow how bounty was doing and if it brings any success. They should have stopped bounty as soon as they saw it brings no result. It is completely Student Coin fault that such situation appeared.
I am not surprised that CEO of Student Coin said that about inefficiency of bounty hunters, and bounty campaigns in general. Bounty hunters follow each other, make copy/pasted articles and generally have  no reach. Can you imagine someone buying coin just because someone with questionable English level wrote some useless article on the completely irrelevant blogging platform that only other bounty hunters use.

As you said, all this doesn't mean that bounty hunters shouldn't be paid for their work, unless they set some metrics on which the bounty payment depends on.





it is difficult but that's the fact I have also seen a collection of articles that are exactly the same as done by some of the campaign participants.
yes, there must be regulations, but this cannot be certain because being a worker on a project like this cannot entail a definite payment guarantee, unless they do an early esrow.

I agree that there is no quality control from BM side. They just select "first X participants" in campaign and check if they done weekly campaign tasks.

On the other side, how can quality be checked, when twitter of facebook campaign have rules "retweet with hashtag". How could the team separate redirect made to projects webpage from their tweet from same tweet with hashtag?

Low quality work might be applicable for other types of campaign, but for the signature campaign, it's more on the post characters requirement most of the time and not spamming the forum, and you are right, there seems to be no quality control at all, and all of that is still useless as they will not pay the bounty hunters anyway.

But saying like "you know, months has passed since you've done your work, and we decided to check if it was useful for us or not" is an act of cheating.

I agree that there is no quality control from BM side. They just select "first X participants" in campaign and check if they done weekly campaign tasks.

On the other side, how can quality be checked, when twitter of facebook campaign have rules "retweet with hashtag". How could the team separate redirect made to projects webpage from their tweet from same tweet with hashtag?

There seems to be absolutely no quality control in Bounty Detective's campaigns whatsoever.

I think that's more of a rule than exception when it comes to bounty campaign. Thing is, quality control is not in anyone's interest (sometimes maybe not even client's) because if it was, 90% of bounty hunters wouldn't be able to join any campaign and bounty managers are  mostly interested in number of participants that they can show to their clients.

I think its in the interest of the campaign and the honest participants in the campaign that tokens not be paid for low-quality work that would result in zero meaningful traffic being directed to the project website regardless of what the project itself was. It cheapens the value of the token for everyone if the project is basically just performing airdrops under the guise of a bounty.

Regardless, we still don't know the details of the arrangement.

Everyone should report Student coin all social media account.This is huge scam with bounty hunters.Thanks bounty detective for posting about scam about Student coin.

There should be an organized group to do that so the effect will be big.

STC let everyone down, we never know they will scam us since they raise a good amount of money and they can afford to get listed in big exchanges.
It's not they don't care about their project, they just don't think that bounty hunters can destroy their reputation.

Same old trick, and again victims are poor bounty hunters.

Don't call them poor, but call them stupid. How many times have we written here, that you need to check all the flags of the companies that hunters are going to support? Instead of creating telegram groups to create lists of new bounty programs, it is high time to create a group for training and recognition for scams. The forum often warns of bounty scams, but bounty hunters only show up here when they are being deceived again. The rest of the time they have no time to write here.
But with the emergence of new projects and the promise of big money, the hunters do not learn from their old mistakes, and again begin to "work day and night" to advertise scams.
It is useless to write warnings, it is useless to feel sorry for them. Anyone who is smarter leaves these activities, but for everyone who remains it is not enough that they are so often fooled.
That's right, however there is a psychological game around the corner and only few can go through it successfully. Bounty Detective introduced two rounds of Student Coin Campaign. First round bounty rewards have been successfully distributed to participants but STC CEO introduced his drama right after 3 month long bounty program, however STC SEO have no issue on first round. STC team not only reduced the bounty pool but disrespect to all the STC supporters. So, hunters have no clue STC team could play with them their dirty game.

Suchmoon brought it up earlier but it would be good to see what the original agreement actually stated.

I would not pay for such low quality work either.
My guess is probably nothing, but bounty managers probably promise miracles in order to get the job and when that doesn't happen, we get situations like this one.

This will keep happening until bounty hunters start avoiding bounty campaigns with clear red flags such as inflated bounty pool. For example, Student Coin bounty pool is 1 million USD worth of tokens. How can anyone in their right mind think that some project willing to give such a huge amount of tokens can be legit or that will honor the deal? Just looking at the spreadsheet, some bounty hunters are supposed to get 400k+ tokens worth almost 9,000 USD (based on ICO price) for a crappy paraphrased or text spinned Medium article. Just ridiculous, but as they say common sense is not so common.

If Bounty Detective was truly interested in solving the problem, they would weed out the dozens of rule-breaking accounts that cheated that bounty, which would raise the size of everybody else's stake. Its ludicrous to expect someone to pay up for everybody if your campaign is riddled with cheaters, which I'm quite certain it is.

CEO of Student Coin in telegram channel pinned post says that bounty hunters generated almost nothing, said that bounty hunters made low quality content and did not help to promote project at all. That can be true, sometimes bounty hunters share retweet post info only among each other, sometimes work they do are useless. But that does not mean they must not be paid what they were promised. It was Student Coin fault not to follow how bounty was doing and if it brings any success. They should have stopped bounty as soon as they saw it brings no result. It is completely Student Coin fault that such situation appeared.
I am not surprised that CEO of Student Coin said that about inefficiency of bounty hunters, and bounty campaigns in general. Bounty hunters follow each other, make copy/pasted articles and generally have  no reach. Can you imagine someone buying coin just because someone with questionable English level wrote some useless article on the completely irrelevant blogging platform that only other bounty hunters use.

In my opinion, even the curse of one person can ruin you. How many people here have cursed this project from the bottom of their hearts. And that's just right all the way. People work hard for their livelihood. And if they don't get the fruits of their labor, it is not right.
The student coin team remembers that if we can give you success, we will keep you out of these crypto industries.

If we let this project ruin you, it will be a lesson for another new project.

It's more likely the fault of the bounty manager who hired shitty participants. The OP didn't provide any proof of what the original agreement was and who broke it. I wouldn't be surprised if BountyDetective lied to both sides (to the "CEO" about the quality of the promotion, and to the bounty participants about why they're not getting paid).

What is 100x Coin? Have you ever asked yourself what that means? It's constantly on the verge of going up 100x? How is that all a sustainable investment or anything other than a complete scam, and why are you supporting it?

You take on bounties for scam projects and then have the nerve to complain when you get scammed.

You have no right to complain if things go bad as you (along with most bounty hunters) have never contributed anything positive here.

You joined this signature just because it gives the btc award. Why most of the bounty rewards are scams. If all of the Bounty rewards were not scamed, would you be stable in this signature? Of course no. What are Bounty and new projects? It means complete error and proper projects at the right time. Until yesterday, everyone called Dogecoin a cryptocurrency that was issued for a joke. Today he pushed almost $ 1 with moves made by elon musk. That's why nobody can call any project a scam. Moreover, the studen coin project mentioned in this regard has collected more than $ 65 million in investment. Even the project was not sure that it would raise so much investment that it should allocate such a budget. Why are people victimized after collecting so much investment?

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
STC team are saying that they don't receive benefits from bounty program and accusing that the participants has a poor quality of work. Why they did not raise it to the bounty manager on the earlier stage of the bounty so that it can be address immediately.

I don't mean to defend the student coin team. But according to the evaluation process in general, the quality of the work will indeed be known after the work has been carried out for some time.
I don't know if "didn't even made 0.01% traffic" that can be proven. In this case, the student coin team refuses full payment for quality excuse, so you (or your manager as a representative) should challenge that excuse from a quality perspective as well, be it the quality of your work or the quality of their project.

I'm sorry for what has happened to you over and over again, biunty hunters. Cry

This is not first time that Bounty hunters are not getting their fair reward or payment. If the project fail to reach their goal and can't survive anymore it another matter. But when successful project like them do such things its really matter of sorrow for hunters who worked hard to help project. I think all the forums like bitcointalkand, altcointalk should take action against this. There should a rule that every team have to escrowed their bounty budget to the forum authority or any specific group or personal.

You are quite right, everyone understand that will not get some reward in case the project did not reached the cap or something else. But this project successfully reached their goal and it looked like soo promising and perspective. Lots of us believed in it. First in my life I feel like a robbed person in such a rude and sophisticated way. Really I personally have not expected this from this project. Despite all my long and successful period in crypto after STC project I was really shocked in a really unpleasant way. In case such kind of things will not be stopped every project's CEO will think that it is normal and will do the same with other hunters and people who promoted them during 12 weeks. And in case they can act with hunters, their will do such things with investors as well. Impunity is a very strong thing. Yes, nowadays I can say loudly that - yes, I am extremely disappointed with the Student Coin project, I regret deeply that I have been promoting and supported them. They are cheaters.

I like it how they say "The work reviewers took into consideration the bounty participant's involvement, devoted time, originality of work, movement generated to the website". These reviewers spend few days to review the data generated by 3 months work of bounty hunters. The time Bounty Detective spend to check only one week of work, they have spend to evaluate whole campaign. If they really done this work, they should present method of evaluation and results.

"BONUS POOL NOTE: Please note that ETH and STC bonuses have been automatically awarded to all users that have been using reflinks in their activity" - it was never mention that reflinks can and should be used. I'm sure that nobody received a bonus.

Be careful of this project. I've heard many complaints regarding this. Some have lost a huge amount of their investment caused by some missing assets during the transaction, STC support was useless saying that they can't do anything about it. And now this issue with the bounty hunters. STC didnt follow the fixed amount of rewards stated on their project. They changed the payment from STC to ETH, delayed the distribution, and then giving just a very.. very low pay to the bounty hunters. Calling the bounty hunters useless and such. They couldve just sticked with advertising the project themselves. Dissapointing and clearly unprofessional

Many bounty hunter students, including myself, participated in the prize money program. They randomly distributed the prizes themselves. Most importantly, while the number of tokens they promised was 200 million, they didn't even send 3/1 themselves. The project has invested more than $ 65 million and the prize just failed to take the necessary action. Did you notice this 1 month after the end of the award program? If such an assumption was made, you would request reports from time to time or regularly. What makes bounty hunters a victim after the bounty runs out?

The Student Coin team has not been responsive to our requests regarding paying additional bounty rewards. We gave them 5 hours to begin the distribution. They will not change their mind, so waiting for 5 hours is unnecessary.

We now have no choice but to raise a vast scam announcement about them.

If the appropriate rewards are not distributed, we will conclude that the Student Coin team is trying to scam our community and us by not keeping their promise to distribute the total bounty rewards.

Screenshots of Conversation with Student Coin's CEO:

First Screenshot

Second Screenshot

Third Screenshot

Fourth Screenshot

Before launching the bounty, they promised that the rewards would be distributed two weeks after the bounty comes to an end. However, they only distributed less than 1/3 of the total allocation yesterday after our persuasion.

Our team reached out to them today on the need to pay additional rewards, but they have bluntly refused.

We're here to support the fair players in the space. Dishonest actors should not be encouraged to affect that with their influence and make the sector unfair for everyone.

To conclude up, we recommend reporting their

Telegram group and channel
Twitter
Facebook
LinkedIn
Reddit
Discord
Instagram, as a scam.


Furthermore, please report them to Telegram Scam Team.

Also, please report them as a scam to CoinMarketCap by this link.

Best regards.
