The
ClipX project, another bounty, managed by the Bounty Detectives' team early today let down bounty hunters gently in what seems a soft exit by announcing that it would no longer continue with the project. The announcement was made here:
https://t.me/clipXchannel/13That was after it had cunningly collected KYC documents from hunters (even though that wasn't explicitly on the bounty thread). ClipX insisted it was going to be a passport document for KYC or nothing. It was really a suspicious move but anxious hunters neglected it. Why ask for only a passport for KYC and not any other document.
My advise to bounty hunters:
1. Don't participate in any bounty without escrowed rewards.
2. Don't be in a rush to participate in every bounty that comes up.
3. Follow only trusted Bounty Managers.
4. DYOR on any project and don't rely on BMs. Most of them don't even research a project before going into contract with project team.
Anyone else got any advice for bounty hunters, especially the noobs among them?
I really hate the bounties that require a KYC just to get the reward that hunters work for,
I know it is part of their policy and hunters could always ignore it and they are implementing it to lessen the bounty abuse but I still feel uneasy about it,\
And this is the main reason why I don't trust KYC now what would happen to those personal information that has been sent to them we don't even know where would they use it,
Maybe instead of earning in bounty we might be indebt because they would use our personal information to borrow or scam on other people.
