Announcement regarding Howdoo's Bounty
Our team at BountyPortals would like to stress a few points in regards to how the bounty distribution for Howdoo is progressing and what our position is.
First of all, we'd like to stress that we always keep trying our best to ensure that both clients and bounty hunters satisfied. We offer our services for bounty campaign management to interested parties only after doing thorough due diligence and Howdoo was no exception. At the time of accepting their project, we came to trust their team through reviewing their papers, website and also by talking to their team.
The howdoo team consisted of real people. To an extent, it was demonstrated to us that they were experienced in their fields. The idea for the project seemed realistic as well and the whitepaper seemed well written to us. More so, communication between us and Howdoo's team was constant and their execs were very active throughout the time that the campaign was running. All of those signs provided reassurance to us and we remained confident in running this campaign.
Sadly or not though, the business of running bounty campaigns requires some level of trust. The distribution of tokens can't be guaranteed by the bounty manager so long as the Token Generation Event happens after the beginning of the bounty. And this appears to be the case with most ICOs nowadays more often than not. The sad reality of this is that we can't take responsibility for payouts to bounty hunters.
The above same case also applies with Howdoo's bounty. While BountyPortals did complete the calculation of tasks taking into account how payments should be completed based on the initial agreement, we weren't the ones responsible for completing the bounty's payments.
In closing, we'd like to emphasize that our team has continuously been in contact directly with the people in charge at Howdoo. Howdoo's response has been and continues being that they're paying bounty hunters one by one after reviewing each hunter's entries.
