For some of you asking to wait for a week, what will happen if this project comes out to be a scam with the owner not paying anything after a week? Are enrolled users ready to take red tags and flags for advertising it?
Well, some arguments are a little bit far-fetched here...Why should anyone being tagged when the campaign doesn't pay? Is it new rule? We have seen so many altcoin scams that turned out to be outright scams after ICO was closed, rekt slowly or simply didn't pay, forced users to submit KYC after the bounty was finished and some more shady stuff where the participants suffered and did work without reward. Should we give every participant in their bounty red trust now? - of course not.
Regarding BestChange:
Using Escrow would be the best solution but I can also understand the team. As a big company I would also do it like that. We can't force someone to do xy, they are paying, they are making the rules. We can ask them to do escrow but without valid reasons I wouldn't tag them. Imagine that you have no malicious intention, are new to a forum willing to cooperate and launch a signature campaign there and you are immediately marked as untrustworthy. While I think protecting users is essential, a "preventive" negative feedback isn't useful in that case neither to be fair when there's no proof nor to attract other legit projects doing business here. It's different when Newbies and businesses without any history launch a campaign without escrow, it's clearly looking fishy and we have a proof. No proof = no tag.
If we give out red tags like here for BestChange we have to give out red tags:
- To all shitcoin bounties because
a) they almost never use escrow and are running several months somtimes where users can get scammed for so much more time they invested. BestChange pays after one week and everyone can see if it's scam or not
b) we don't know what will happen to the shitcoin project after coins are paid
- To all new signature campaigns paying the rewards to gambling sites etc. (there's also no escrow)
- To all cases where we have no valid proof and there's a chance of being scammed (new exchange, new mixer etc.)
tl;dr
I would like if they use escrow but I can't force it. Using no escrow does not necessarily mean someone is untrustworthy until there's a valid reason. So I can't give them red trust.
And please: be nice to each other! Accusing someone because their point of view is different is not nice.
Just my 2 sats
