I heard that what most bounty managers do is to conduct the bounty project and later submit to projects teams for distribution, is this not why some projects never paid bounty hunters?
+The job of a bounty manager should be the guide standing between bounty hunters and project teams
+ Bounty managers should be the ones to hold on to the project tokens and distribute after bounty ends
Avoid these and teams might decide not to pay or send out half payments to half of the hunters, it should be more like how IEO is where exchange stands between investors and team
Well, It is all your decision. There are many bounties out there that use escrow, like the bounties of yahoo62278. But it is a very small number. Most bounties have terms and conditions as the project team makes the final decision, and when you participate you have to agree with it. So you can not ask for the above.
My preferred bounty hunting campaign is the ones which is escrowed and held by a reputable member of this forum, a hunter will be on a safer side ie the possibility of cheating a hunter if the fund is held by the manager is zero, the decision must be made by the hunter thus by doing so is at the hunter's risk,
its sad to hear touching stories of bounty hunters not being paid after many days and months of promoting a project this is some of the risk involved in bounty campaigns.
