Even everything above is followed correctly, still there's no guarantee that project will be good. However, if someone does enough research it's possible to avoid scam project. I am really bored on bounty and given up participating too.
There is absolutely nothing that can guarantee what the outcome of any bounty could be, even when the tasks are limited, with stakes counted promptly, it's still isn't enough of an indication that the bounty would end, but when bounties by certain managers, you can be rest assured that there is a better possibility of it being successful (or at least) pay it's participants.
Bounty is like gambling only has the luck that can find a good project in this time, so many tentant bounty prevention scamer still cannot be guaranteed because in this era many projects are successful but not on the stock exchange is just the same as a failed project.
But hunters can minimize by doing research and also choosing managers to get the best bounty, if the manager is always filtered on the project he wants to promote.
bounty was like a gambling but only this time right ? because its now hard to catch a good paying one but before bounties were not like a gambling because the chance of catching a good one is verry high , if i can scale it from 1 to 10 it would be 7 over 10 but now its now only 3 to 10 . i like the idea of chosing a bounty manager . its true that there are verry good managers , i know some of them that are picky and doesnt like to risk his reputation for some quick buck but he is also a friendly manager to his participants at the same time .
