This is an issue that should be attended to . Bounty managers should always have it that they need to assist hunters to get what their reward is. Some developers have taken from hunters what their benefits are.
There are some points that should be tackled about this...
1. Ensure that rewards are distributed before they go into exchange. This is because when the coin goes into exchange and starts performing and increase, developers find it difficult to redeem the promise. Dego bounty is an example on that.
2. Always have a good bargain protection for hunters so that no matter what, the reward will go to the hunter after the bounty.
3. Suggest payment in valuable altccoins because protection of workers should be important to any company.
Bounty Managers should protect bounty hunters, but they should protect the companies they work for as well, that is just the truth. I mean think about it, we are talking about a person who gets paid by the companies and you are expecting them to protect the hunters first? That is not going to happen, they will always keep the companies happy and cheering for them so that they would get good references and make a lot more profit that way, if you keep both hunters and companies happy that would be even better.
I personally like a few people in here, brainboss, hhampuz all those people are great at what they do, but they didn't became great by just declining what companies request and only listening to hunters, they became great by finding more and more companies to keep them happy and eventually reach to a level where all companies know them and can trust them.
