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?
1. Escrowed bounties are still not that common today
2. Not all escrowed bounty projects are safe, you can still get cheated or scammed
3. The best advice is to follow bounty managers that are very reliable ,high reputations are very important to BMs like Bubbalex, Hhampuz etc
4. The Main problem about bounties are inexperienced bounty managers, they are the right cure standing between promoters and the project team
