The amount of scam ICO's is staggering. At this point I've pretty much given up on new ICOs. I'm sure there will be a few good ones out there but having to deal with fake teams, unrealistic ideas, shady devs, it's too much stress at this point.
OP: A common complaint I've seen from bounty participants is that they never get paid or they receive an amount much smaller to the promised amount. This is quite commonplace at this point and I would be very selective when choosing a bounty to participate in.
