Wrong, just wrong. They are called private keys for a reason  Grin - They might as well ask their users for the keys to their houses and permission to rob them whenever it pleases them. It could be they are looking for other ways to earn money seeing that running bounties isn't what it used to be. All speculation on my part off-course, but this is very shady.

Maybe not intended scam, but definitely it is a bad practice!
Better keep away from such things!

Make no mistake it is a scam. Saying its bad practice is sugar - coating it.

The only reason to require users to give out their private keys will be to save fees,

This is not true. You are mistaken, having ones private keys does not reduce gas/fees.

Got this from bountyhunters channel
" About private keys. We are now implementing the option to create new wallet right on our platform. After you receive tokens to the integrated  wallet, you can transfer them to any wallet you wish (NO private keys will be needed). The function will become available this week. Thanks for your feedback!"

I think we have morons running bountyhunters they think it is safe asking for private keys no amount of explanation is needed they think we are stupid.

Looks like an attempt at deflecting some of the flak coming their way.


Nonsense.
