Will it be wise if this forum put up a request that ALL NEW PROJECTS EXPECTING TO RUN BOUNTIES SHOULD PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY BOUNTY OR run an ESCROW.
Most of them are unable to. That's because they don't have such in prior or are insufficient to handle the whole marketing expense alone. Also there are other things for which they also need funds to in other operations which they give more priority over marketing expense. Reason being they can't settle payments with tokens in such operations. It has to be done in stable currency or some other form of payment which has a value at that point.
