I think bounty projects aren't as organized as they used to be because new projects are getting smaller. To organize a bounty program project owners need to pay the manager up front so that they create a bounty campaign theme. They need to consider how fundraising works before organizing such a program. I have observed that bonus schemes are getting lesser nowadays. There was a recent scam project CLIPX stole the hunters' KYC and disappeared. I could not have imagined that they would be able to cheat that way.
So many exit scam happen before especially when Altcoins were too popular, by that time campaigns were managed by different top managers and so what more now that the campaigns are too few and managed sometime by not experienced campaign managers. Bounty can be replace now or lessen into signature campaign and better payable in BTC than their coin that may not have any value in exchanges.

Undoubtedly, if the Bounty Hunters are more attentive, the scammers will stop offering them jobs, since everyone will know about their plans. Today the situation is such that some Bounty companies on the forum are too obviously in doubt, but the Bounty Hunters are still involved in these projects. I believe that if a person is not well versed in how exactly to do research on a specific project, then at least he should pay attention to the bounty manager, since an authoritative Bounty manager can be a certain guarantee.
Yeah, to knockout the scammers, The bounty hunter must be smart when choosing a project. Before deciding to join a project, The main task of the bounty hunter is to check the bounty website, and see if it's transparent or not, such as the number of supply coins and the roadmap on the bounty, usually a good bounty will be transparent at the time of pre-sale and token sale, and of course the role of a manager is very important, usually good projects will always employ the services of a well-known manager.

If you want to be a real bounty hunters start taking some responsibility like doing research and making decisions yourself, when failure occurs you should learn from them and move on, bounties are unpredictable as they can bring good rewards some times, change the way you choose projects to promote to reduce your bounties failure

However, it is acceptable to see that there are presently web-based media crusades that are bitcoin paying. Numerous instances of misuse has been submitted going from not paying their commitment and blaming abundance members for cheating to avoid paying. I imagine that misrepresentation won't be effectively lost, perhaps the abundance mission will gradually vanish due to the expanding number of deceitful missions and members who cheat and literary theft.

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.
OP I believe that your point is mainly talking about bitcoin paying bounties only, what about altcoin bounties? That's where scammers target hunters to promote their scam projects, there isn't scam projects using Bitcoin to pay bounty hunters, scammers will always use bounty hunters that have no research skills

Well it's really are good to have the audit on Twitter to prevent accounts that has a fake followers, but still it's not enough to stop the scammers from scamming. IMO, the current technology does not have the full capability to stop scammers from scamming in bounty projects due to wide aspect of internet. The pandemic have change everything and soon Internet will be the main medium of transaction so better to expect that the government will do it too and soon take some actions to control and reduce the scammers.

bounty fraud will still exist because social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are still a lot of people who sell it and it is sold at a cheap price. Many hunters buy Twitter accounts with thousands of followers and make it all seem easy. the price is cheap and it is an opportunity for bounty hunters to add to their accounts.

There is hugh money in crypto space that's why it's a perfect haven for scammers, if you think that scammers will leave this space its a big lie, it's better to prepare yourself for new projects and do good research on the projects to safe your neck

The bounty scam will never go away. The new projects will keep on coming every day and few of them will always scam the investors and the bounty hunters. What's more sad is that there are few scammers who keep coming up with the new projects to scam people but with new coins and projects every time.

no one can say that scammer will disappear in the next few days or seasons. Because as the crypto world grows and advances so do scam projects. So we just have to be more careful so that we avoid being fooled and deceived by these fraudulent people.

Can you point us to such campaigns. we will gladly join without complain. For the scam bounties. it will never stop. i can not stop as long as this space is not regulated. we can not forget the immense Job of the admins that spots out fake bounties especially those with copied whitepaper, Newly created websites and with former scam projects. Also a reminder that id sales is a huge business in the dark web.
In my opinion it will be very difficult to find such a bounty, because it is very rare to find a social media bounty doing audits, there may be some bounty projects for social media campaigns that do audits, you can find out for yourself but I don't know if the project is a scam or not you can judge for themselves how scammer they are or not.

There are always scammers in every cryptocurrency project. I think the scam in the bounty program cannot be eliminated, because scammers always have new ways to earn profits. Most of the scam victims are beginners who don't understand much about cryptocurrency. Maybe we all should research more in detail about the project we are going to, whether joining the bounty or investment program

it's hard to avoid bounty fraud they have all the great ways to scam bounty hunters such as cut allocations, locking tokens or not paying at all
most scams will occur when the bounty has been completed So the solution to this problem is Escrow if the bounty manager dares to set up an escrow system certainly will avoid bounty fraud
All we can do is try since we can't predict how a project team will behave after bounty ends, not all new projects team will decide not to pay bounty hunters, few still cares about their project and reputation, they will try to avoid any bad credibility

Not all new projects team will accept paying bounty hunters in btc or other popular coins, the choice is on bounty hunters themselves, they are the ones to make the right decision, if you like btc paying campaigns then go for it, if you prefer altcoin bounties instead then why waiting?
we have many choice about bounty payment, for stable earning from campaign  we could find it on services section which is provide many btc campaign. so it should not be problem for us, just work and do all task as best as we can . the problem will occur when campaign didnt paid us .

Scammers will always find new ways to scam investors, so it's not going to be easy for scammers to exit, even if you are smart and know how to do good research you might still fall for scam tricks, quit expecting scammers to quit crypto, it's never going to come true

Scammers aren't going anywhere, they are making money out of newbies that pushed learning away, that's why scammers will always be in crypto space, things can change if every newbies put learning first before investing, once this start happening scammers won't be able to make reasonable money any more and they will slowly go away.
Newbies can't all decide to start learning before anything else, they are always too eager to make some money so they will invest in anything they see without doing proper analysis on the projects first, I believe this is why scammers are still trying hard to create scam projects today

The problem is not even that scammers will never go away - but that many people perceive the fight against them as a new challenge.
Today you have come up with a way to limit the world from scammers and tomorrow these guys will find a way to bypass your system and this will deal an even greater blow to you.
I believe that scammers are peremptory good - because they test the stupidity and greed of newcomers and make it clear to old players that they do not know everything in the world. They make the market less sterile and more risky which allows you to create a certain barrier from completely incompetent and very susceptible people. Fraudsters by their existence allow you to increase the overall level of literacy. In nature, there is a concept of «good predators» - we can say that scammers in the crypto space are the same predators.
