It is highly unlikely for scams like these will go away. Especially now that there are more hunters out there that are willing to take up job because of the pandemic. Overall i just feel bad for hunters that spent their time on these scams.
Many hunters that will not do research if they are working on scammers and many developers who can create a project that looks like a good project, they have no problem with promoters since they already have a lot fo bounty hunters who will work for them in exchange for free pennies or none at all, in fact, these scammers are scamming bounty hunters and investors.

It's really frustrating that after many months of supporting the project it ended up with nothing. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks before joining in the campaign to make sure that the project are legitimate. We just need to accept the fact that in crypto world we need to be wise and analyze it properly. There's a lot ot scammers and we must do our job to make research about the project. Its good to know that the action like this take place to help eliminate the bounty scam.

Scammers can scam you regardless of payment options. It is yet to be understood that without hunters there is no community, without community there is no successful project.

I fully had a doubt that the bounty scam will not be gone, instead it will always be there where bounty hunters and investors participate in any of the project that will arise in this field of business industry here in cryptocurrency. If there's a new project arise it means there is an opportunity for scammers to find a victim.

The bonus scams are getting smaller and smaller, they will not disappear as ICO projects are becoming more difficult in the fundraising process.
Scams are becoming more and more sophisticated if not a scam project then the bounty manager will scam and not distribute it to everyone. Recently ClipX tricked hunters' KYC passports. The bounty managers and bounty hunt participants are all scams.
If you say that the bounty manager and participants in the bounty hunt are all scams, then you are also a con artist because you are a bounty participant at this time Grin, in fact you have to sort this into two parts, first the project team that committed fraud and the second the project manager who committed fraud, although in general both are deceiving, this is not the same because only a small proportion of bounty managers cheat, while managers who are truly trusted in this forum will not do such stupid things.
That was the situation in previous years when inexperienced projects distributed money to hunters. In the meantime, I need to confirm that they are all mature and that they have the experience to run an efficient bounty project.

Hunters are leave no choice but to pick on these projects offering bounty. Well a lot of people lost their jobs right? And it means no more money income. If they are doing bounty then still there is a chance to get up from this mess. I know some bounty are scams but thats the only thing they can do while being suppressed of out of job.

The bounty scam will be difficult to lose if there are still bounty hunter participants who participate in it, but as time goes by, bounty hunters are now very clever in choosing bounties that will be successful, I hope there will be a special team to select the bounties that will promote this diforum.

I participated in bounty campaigns in 2017 and started participating now. Then it was possible to get several thousand dollars from each campaign, but now it is very difficult to do this, primarily because of scammers.
Theres no permanent in this world, i agree that aidrops and bounties before are really worth it to join in unlike now that most bounties will only waste your time.

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.
Its up really to the manager itself on how he handle or filter out things.When comparing to those twitter or social media campaigns which are posted on services section compared to altcoin marketplace bounty section
then you can really tell the difference.Bounty scam will gradually go away? we cant still say such thing because there are projects will definitely stick out on paying own tokens and there would be still lots of
people or do make use of bots on joining them.The cycle would continue and this had been a problem since from the past.It havent been solved up until now thats why getting rid of it completely
is almost impossible but at least we do make some ways.

I used to take part in bounty campaigns, where I was supposed to receive a well-deserved reward for the work done, but did not receive it. Some projects turned out to be cheating. I see how the cryptocurrency market grows and improves and I have good confidence that over time, bad bounty projects will disappear and there will be no need to fear that the developers will deceive you.

Every bounty must have its advantages and disadvantages, the most important thing is that we can read the opportunities and maximize our ability to get rewards. Social media bounties (twitter / Facebook / etc), article/video bounties, signatures, are all beneficial if we know the right techniques and strategies, obey the rules properly and do them wholeheartedly, you will definitely have fun.
However, the world of crypto and bounties is full of surprises, many projects that are a scam, not only bounty alts, even bounties that promise BTC or eth rewards or other strong coins can potentially be a scam. So we must know that even though there is a small risk of joining a bounty campaign, there is still a risk of scam.

I am not confident that this bounty scam will dissappear anytime soon since there are many gullible investors and also there is a surge of platforms on the internet that these scammers can use to invite people to their false projects. What needs to be done is the acceptance of big finance to crypto so at least we might get some sort of protection from them. We just have to be really really patient and vigilant to these kinds of schemes.
In the internet world, it is difficult to stop scammers because there are many ways they trick investors into getting caught with their tricks, so now many bounties that end up being scams often happen until now because no one knew that the project would become a scam and investors became the victim, then we must be smart in choosing any project and sometimes tokens that are already on the exchange like to end up in uncertainty.

So even large funds are very unsafe if someone already holds that much money, they will be tempted, therefore we are truly trusted in this protection.

Scammer will be out there forever as long as there are hunters that are willing to do anything for profitable rewards especially in BTC. They will exploit every possible way to get money from other people  even if means of dragging someone into it to lure investors. On the brighter side though, It's good to see some project devs giving out opportunities by giving their workers fair salaries for their works.

The current twitter campaign that you've talked about is seemingly fine, it went smooth and orderly. Some applied but just bee rejected due to fake/non-crypto followers. The company itself paid only those related to crypto followers and they have the right as well to decline the applications.

Social media is the fastest way to spread the news, it is just a little bit disappointing to see that some did scam others using fake account hidden by known personalities. But this is not the case that pushes the company to eliminate social media campaigns because it was not all the cases that will happen.

The Twitter campaign that you’re talking about is something that is totally different from the one you’re seeing here, and it’s also not something new, I have known about it for long now and they pay you based on how many followers you have on Twitter, which I know for sure that most of us here don’t even have followers.
this is the best example of how twitter campaign has been paying

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5276327

the more followers is the big payment you can receive .

these days of ours it seems that twitter campaigns are entering the Bitcoin paying service not like in the past that only Bounties are having these campaigns .

So, what makes you think that people will be interested in that one?

Getting followers on Twitter and having engagements is a really difficult thing. The campaign that’s being done in this forum is more easier.
actually it is not only of gathering followers but it is a must that your followers must be involving into crypto and not just random
 people from around the world.
