Scams and rewards will never end because scams will always be in the cryptocurrency market.  Scammers will scam new people with little information about cryptography.  When it comes to money, people will pursue it by any means, and they will not check the credibility of the project.

Distribute reward with btc or ether, is already available since years ago.but those are very few & can't help preventing bounty scam. If we have a look at bounty thread, most of them are scam, some are totally garbage. good projects are a few.i notice, some newbie manager with 1 activity post scam bounties to scam our fund.even though newbie hunter continuously joining with them & promoting scams, that should be stopped. Using escrow might be helpful to solve this problem
This year in altcoin section, I have only just seen Injective as the only project that pays ETH for bounty in a relatively decent amount (30k USDT). But it seems like we have only seen such a project this year. Very few projects use escrow, we don't have many options, so it is necessary to DYOR.

Bounty Detective

Just recently we are beginning to have some Twitter campaign giving hunters reward in btc in the service section. This is one sure way to take off this muster that seem like a cancer called bounty scam.

I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in  both bounty section and service. I'm sure that hunters will prefer social media signature than the scam going on in the board.

I guess one reason that we are seeing that Twitter campaign is because of the audit which takes care of non real followers of an account. So if your Twitter account isn't made of real followers, you stand no chance of being selected. The audit is surely to check out accounts with fake followers and that is also good to stop scamming.
In my opinion, I doubt it will be gone soon. People potential be wronged and even though at the start they are very diligent and organized in managing an ICO which supposed to be legitimate, one wrong miscalculation and it can turn to a scam right away. Legitimacy of an ICO project depends on the continuous use of the tokens supported by the project. It is also needed to be listed to some exchanges to have some value and be traded into circulation If these parts was being miscalculated, in the future if it has no user anymore, it ls price will go low, reducing its value and eventually deleted in the exchange it was listed

that will be good if there are some social media campaign that will be paid with bitcoins, but of course with a new rules and conditions. because if it's not, i believe there will be so many participants abuse it. but it's not a solution to make bounty scam disappeared. also, maybe most of the projects become scam in the end becuse they didn't know that their projects will be successful or not in the end of their sale even after their create a bounty campaign. so, to avoid some loss they paid the bounty participants with their tokens, not with bitcoin or other tradeable coins/token.

I am not sure about the disappearance of bounty fraud because this kind of thing has been around since long ago during the ICO to IEO and until recently, I think fraud,
the gift will never be lost we just have to be careful and clever at analyzing at least we can avoid it
disappeared is definitely not possible because this is a profitable business especially for con artists...
after ICO / IEO ended with a lot of scams now scammers are following the DeFi trend. many DeFi projects have been scams to date and it's likely the number will increase. I hope we are more careful of this kind of trick, don't be easily tempted and lulled by the hype.

Actually, I doubt that it will gonna go away,

We all know that when it comes to money, there's always be a scammer around. And since the bounty campaign is all about investment, it will be impossible for them to go away.
But what OP is trying to say is, we are starting to see social media campaign running in the services section wherein we can guarantee the payment in btc. In fact, it is a good start for everyone because we can see that it can also happen as no one expected social media camp to be running in that section.

It's unlikely to happen. Even in real life, there are still tons of scammers lurking and planning to make another scam plans to rob our money. They have million of ways to make their plans become smoother no matter what cost it would take. We can avoid to fall on that scammer's hole though, but remove bounty scams from existence is impossible in this world.

Bounty scam will not go away as long as there are hunters that are willing ...
Newbies have no experience so they jump into campaigns they are not very sure of. even older members sometime do not distinguish a scam campaign. So scam campaigns will take a very long time to go away.
I can't see an end to this scam soon because, presently are thousands of project campaigns with no reputation on the forum being promoted and still be promoting. This scam won't just go from the forum because not all projects will be able to pay their participants with top cryptocurrencies. Also, some projects wants their participants hold their tokens for advertisements or towards their adoption. Having a project with token signifies adoption, so, they will always like to pay promoters with their native token.

Wow, it is very nice to have paid in btc by joining and participating on twitter campaign only.
What i know, the signature campaign is only the campaign that pays btc to their participants.
About bounty scam, i think the reward should be escrowed so it will give the guarantee of the payment and won't become scam campaign.
Yes, but if you go to a service place in this forum, you will see a twitter campaign that pays participants with BTC and the manager is also very trusted and many also hold signature campaigns with BTC paid which are always paid on time, meaning that such campaigns always have escrow in terms of the payment.

Bot how many projects will choose this? I bet that it's going to be only a few and most of them will want to save some money and either go the legit way but without escrow and with a cheap new manager or will scam you.

They know they can do it because there's so many people who want to make money on this forum that they will never run out of workforce.

True, scammers are incredibly smart, they know how a legitimate campaign looks like and then they do everything in their power so their campaign looks the same and to the eyes of those that are new to this market there is no difference between coin A and coin B despite the huge difference between the intentions of the developers, this means that for the most part even bounty hunters that only want to promote good projects have no option but to promote bad projects even if that is not their intention and as long as this is the case we are bound to see scam projects being promoted on the forum and on social media.

You should always remember and never forget - the more effort is directed at fighting fraud, the more sophisticated methods of opposing you and conducting such a schemes will appear.
Even 10 years ago, people were led to "letters of happiness" more often than you go to the store. Do you think they're gone now? No, they just became much more cunning, smarter and more diverse.
Do not think that this can be won over a long distance and remember that a small victory over garbage today does not mean victory in the war against fraud forever.

100% agree! Fraud schemes evolve much faster that anti-fraud regulations do)) there will always be a lot of cheating in crypto sphere. We should be very careful about what we do and where we enclose our personal data.

The problem is not even in the speed of development, but in the classic rule "action creates reaction". And also in the fact that in our case, the reaction is always stronger than the action - hence we get that for one revealed and defeated dirty scheme, we get two new ones.
And even more interesting is that even total legalization is unlikely to help. On the contrary, it will open up space for even more cunning and insidious schemes that will already become quite a "relatively honest way" of taking money from the population.

Nowadays people are doing some good research before jumping in any kind of bounties, it's lot of bad projects and we are learning how to avoid it.
How I wish that was true but I do not believe that for a second, bounty hunters for the most part decide to promote as many projects as possible with the idea that at least one of them should provide good profits, this means they do not care about a few of the bounty campaigns in which they participating turning into scams as long as they can make big profits with one single project and as long as that is their mentality then they will keep joining every single bounty they can and waste their time that way.
