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 agree with point No. 4
Currently, there are so many bounty managers who only care about themselves and their team, regardless of the safety of their hunters. Therefore doing research first is very important.
View from the easiest such as website views, teams, partners, and white papers
Even how good you are in searching its hard to avoid scam campaign mostly now that there are a lot scam project that we have here . Other problem also is the late announcement of having a KYC which they make it mandatory when the campaign is ended already which is wrong .There are a lot hunters afraid to give thier personal data to a website or project owner so instead of claiming it if the project asked for mandatory kyc they leave and forget about thier payment instead.
