Correct, in addition to add more work by Menapay after everything was ended I see this as blackmailing the users to leave a five-star-rating (the best one) for the app, otherwise they don't get their bounty tokens. That's similar to buy reputation for Menapay and has nothing to do with ratings left for a legitimate reason because the users are forced to do it and if they won't do it, they don't receive rewards for their work.

The word "blackmailing" is what i missed in the OP, this is exactly what this whole thing is about , if you read the chat between the bounty manager and the ICO team, the ICO team's excuse was that they wanted to verify the existence of the bounty hunters, assuming that many of them could have been bots or what he refers to as "dead people".

Yes, looks like Menapay isn't very interested in a healthy communication. Sad

Maybe it's a little bit confusing how Menapay managed their ICO marketing, they had 2 different bounties:

- one of them was managed by bounty0x, a special bounty website for managing various bounties (third party, not related to Menapay) (here (tasks not visible because bounty is ended))
- the other one was managed on Bitcointalk in-house by Menapay (here)

And Menapay is responsible to sent the funds for both bounties. bounty0x has checked the work for the bounty0x part and of that checked part Menapay wants only to pay 3% of the bounty hunters (111 from 3000 participants).
The result of the bounty on Bitcointalk is not known yet.
For both campaigns the extra-work was added.

the funny thing is, downloading an app is an easy task for a bot, if they wanted to confirm the existence of the hunters there could have been better ways of doing this, but your theory makes sense, they want those "fake/forced/bought" 5 stars rating on their worthless piece of shit app.

It's getting ridiculous how projects are trying to cheat the most helpless people to save costs...
