Many people get angry because there is a merit system which makes it difficult for us to up rank or because of rising bitcoin prices that make everyone want to earn money with dirty (greedy)

According to you?

Merit actually a good thing for Bitcointalk since it was a choke point for the attempt of holding multi-account to farm in bounty campaign.
Of course, a lot low rank like you and me don't like it since it quite hard for us to rank up but I think it still better than above.

There are 3 explains:
1. Ico not reach softcap, than they cancelled ico and no rewards for bounty hunters => They call that bounty scam.
2. Fake Bounty/Airdrop trying to get follow on social network.
3. Scam ico just trying to get people money, make bounty to get free promotion to get more money from investors.

Greed,what drives those scammer. Why many scammer? Because cryptocurrency base ico is not regulated.Anyone can start thier iwn project, raise some funds and gone. Even a high school student can create thier own token. This should be change to protect investors and the public.

I agree, it‘s to easy to create a project out of thin air, create a whitepaper on the basis of already exiting projects and use copy/past instead of creating someting unique. Unfortunately most people don’t do their homework and fall for these scams to easily, which is why they keep going until some regulation makes it too hard for them to continue without facing a high probability being prosecuted.

We can not blame the system because the purpose of system is good, that is to reduce people who have multiple account.
So if for my opinion we better follow the rules that have been made, currently there are many bounty projects that accept participants junior member.

Ico scam is the same as bounty scam, proportion. We can't stop those greedy person to run bounty without paying those participant since start, Part of a scam ICO. Yes it's big problem we have, what if we do task for all most 3 months and project team runaway. All effort paid nothing but pain. We can't cry, no one can help us and get those scammer to full fill their promises. So these experience will push us to be more carefull and responsible for what decision we made in crypto life

Let's get lots of useful information!.

Let's talk about some objection to the questioner.
In the beginning, not all bounties are scams. This is because the probability of a bounty program being scam is significantly lower unless the ICO project is initially scam.
The reason why the bounty program thinks that the questioner thinks that it is a scam is because the number of participants participating in the bounty program is very large while the number of investors in the ICO project is so low that the official sale fails. I apologize to you and immediately terminate the project.
In this case, the bounty program will be abolished and it will be useless.
In other words, we see this as a waste of time for participating programs and we can think of it as a scam. I replied here that I have experienced a lot of cases where several bounty programs have become obsolete.

It is because the bounties that are lack of investors, users, advertisement result and effects, because of those the bounty scams are being mor relevant and always happening, just like what happen to me i have been scam and my bounty reward was not given and i havent recieve any of those bounty, and it is just because of the reason why they didnt give bounty reward, they will not really give the reward because of lack of support and earnings.

Smiles, if i were you, i would have just generalised it by saying why Icos are scam. What i observed is those scammers around the world operating pyramids program back then are shifting to ICO space now, once they observed investors care about ICO. If a project is not a scam itself, i don't think it bounty campaign would be scam in anyway

This is why you need to do as much research on a project you want to do the bounty for as you would for a project you are looking to invest your money in. First of all, you can almost eliminate the chance of a scam if you do your due diligence and turn down 98% of bounty programs like I do. Secondly, you will only be promoting quality projects for your followers on Twitter, YouTube, etc. I do not feel right if I promote a scam or garbage to my followers

Yes, right. Merit system does feel very difficult for us who want to raise the rank to a higher level. However, I think that is not the cause of the emergence of various ICO / bounty scam. The scammer just wants to profit from investors who can be cheated just for personal gain. So I do not think it has anything to do with merit system. However, there may be little to do with the development of bitcoin and the world of cryptocurrency.

You're right. The Merit system limits too many upgrades. It is difficult for new users to upgrade. For old customers, they can make the biggest profit by bounty. For most of the people of the forum. The maximum profit is the reward and signature.

I think that this is due to the fact that more and more people began to understand that for fraud here it is almost impossible to prove something and put a man behind a tails

Some bounty scams, because they have corrupted the way they use the beliefs of investors to accomplish their own personal goals, they are good at doing what they did.and scams in bounty disadvantageous for member and investor, and give adversely affect to others icos, and merit is point from apresiation to your topic/post when what you create is good quality

Well I agree with you. We must now be more careful again. Many of those who play dirty with promising projects that offer great benefits, turn out to be a fraud after arriving in the middle of the road. Tetpi lest it make us despair keep it as an experience for us better future.

Not just bounty but all project becouse i dont think legit project could has scam bounty so if you dont want be scammed then just make more research be informed about bounty you join.

There are many projects that cannot be trusted enough that is why I never joined ICOs but rather joined on bounties and find the manager that manages campaign that become successful until the end and give good earning. Scam sometimes from the site we visited that are suspicious but we enter on it and sometimes save password and email which become a way to enter our own accounts.

I agree with this because the system now is more on the long term member although it is good because there is a lot of people now using this kind of platform and some of them the main goal is only to scam but on us on the middle rank it was unfair because it is hard now to rank up and we are only stagnant in this rank because it is rank to get merit and we feel that we will be on this rank up to the end because of the merit system. Because of this system many people change their mindset to just scam because it is hard to earn money by their low rank.

Because some of them are greedy and want to make a profit without having to pay a fee then therefore they make fake ICO and for us who are in this forum to be careful when investing in ICO. Make sure that they are genuine or fake.

Merit does make it difficult to rank up, and it may not be perfect, but merit or something very similar is needed.
It shouldn't be possible to get to the hero/legendary ranks unless you really contribute a lot of interesting, helpful and insightful posts, but before the change it was possible to just post huge quantities of low quality posts and get to those ranks. Yes it still took time, but it needs to take time plus genuine high quality contributions.

I do feel for those who are putting out good quality posts but not getting merits for them. I suppose I am one of the lucky ones as I got to a decent rank before merit came in, but I have also experienced how difficult it is to gain merit - I've only ever received 6, in addition to a generous starting amount. It must be very daunting for those starting at the bottom. One suggestion might be to contribute in other sections of the forum. I tend to stick to the altcoins section myself, and it can be a bit of a merit desert here.
