I have been doing bounties for some time and I have encountered some bounty effort that are not paid for.
1. Hashcard - scam exit
2. Blackfolio - did not reach softcap
3. BCharity - did not reach softcap
4. Safein - project is cancelled
5. Impressio - scam exit
6. Root blockchain - didn't get enough private investors
I learned a lesson here. I have to be more selective in the future in choosing bounties, as much as choosing an ICO to invest.
Do you have any similar experience? Please share so that others may learn.
Yes I do have similar experience with yours except that its different ICOs or Pre-ICOs. With so many bounties appearing every day, you have a lot to choose from but then maybe more than half of it would not be paying because of the reasons you stated above. I would just advice to choose the projects carefully and even if you are confident that you will be paid, just do not expect too highly because there is a chance that you will be disappointed. There are times that even those reputable managers can handle a bounty that would end up not paying.
