Looking at the situation at hand now in cryptocurrency bounty hunting case, we could all see that bounty hunter has turn to a cage of war between dev and hunter these days and that really gives me concern.
Doing bounty does mean that bounty hunters are useless or something cause the way and manner developers are handling hunters now gives a very wrong signal and I see this technology as a way forward for all not a mix to scam people or get rich over night.
Though the technology is decentralized and more why we are having issue as the developer can't be sue or sue , so any bounty that hunters participate in is not a contract as we do have a clause in the terms which says " the team can change the rules any anytime " which make the whole contract useless and not legal as both party have right to decide what is good for the project after the first agreement is sign and if there must be a change them there must be an agreement between the two party not that one party will just decide on what he think will favour him alone and will now point out to the clause that say " they can change the rules anytime"
Imagine a project who lock bounty reward for 90days base on agreement and even after that time they never release it and keep posting the hunters.
Imagine a project that assign 3% of the total supply to hunters and only used 1% and after the hard work of the hunters completing the task stipulated in the rules , the team change the rules and reduce the reward from 1% to 0.07% , like the real reward is 1M and was reduce to 70,000 for all bounty hunters .
Allowing this type of things happening and going Scott free is dmagi g the image of this great technology and making it look to newbies as a scam when many are still agitating and we that are in this space still give them chance to bad mouth our great community which I think need a very urgent attention to curb all scam project .
I totally agree with you. When joining an ICO generosity campaign, there should be no indication that they have the right to change any rules at any time at their discretion. This makes it completely meaningless then to join, because at any time they can write that they simply don’t want to pay out the tokens earned by the participants of the ICO generosity campaign and will proceed according to the terms of the connection. This should not be. From a legal point of view, such a document is illegal.
In this case, the forum administration should establish general rules for the ICO teams in order to exclude the use of actually slave labor of bounty hunters.
