It's becoming more harder for new projects team to keep their promises to bounty hunters, some even said bounty hunters are getting free tokens for free, meaning bounty hunters aren't recognized for their work, I suggest all bounty managers to start using ESCROW.
I believe with escrow payment will be guaranteed, team won't be able to go back on their words, bitwings for example, after a complete year of waiting for payment they decide to do another audit on spreadsheet and they falsely accused bounty hunters without any proof.
Bounty Detective is the only bounty manager using escrow, if many bounty managers start using escrow it will be better.
Escrow is indeed a way to keep participants guaranteed payment for their work. However, if the Escrow comes from the project manager, there is also no guarantee that participants will get work wages. Because project managers often throw tantrums after the bounty is over. I think Escrow is a third party would be better suited than a project manager.
