My assumption is always that most of the bounty spam accounts belong to a small group of people.
Some time ago I talked to one of the team members of one altcoin project that had bounty campaign here and because altcoin was already listed on some solid exchanges there was a lot of interest. After bounty campaign was over they distributed tokens and since they weren't satisfied with the results, he did some blockchain analysis that showed how in reality no more than 10 people grabbed 90% of the tokens, while ~500 people were awarded with tokens. So yeah, its definitely controlled by a small group of people.
As long as they pay in made-up tokens, I'm sure they don't care who spams for them, as long as they get maximum exposure.
That's the thing, they don't get good exposure as all those alt accounts usually follow each other so reach is non existent while I"m sure that bounty managers promise something else.
That will mean the bounty managers will use Newbie accounts for it, so they don't care. Nothing will change, as long as the forum allows it. So I stay away from the bounty spam boards, and when I see their shitposts on other boards, I report them.
From what I noticed, bounty managers usually have their own Telegram groups from where they got all those bounty hunters to join, and joining that group is a must, like for example in this
bounty campaign so i don't think that it would be that hard to identify them even if they use alt accounts.
That's the thing: they don't waste money, they share some of the BS tokens they created out of thin air.
Aren't managers usually paid in BTC or some other already listed currency? Well, at least those with some reputation.
Currently, bounty hunters without understanding the value of the project immediately sell the token at a cheap price in the market, so the project becomes a dead project. In this case, Hundet Persen is responsible for the bounty hunters destroying the project.
Bounty hunters destroying the projects? They usually get tokens when they are completely worthless so if bounty hunters manage so i seriously doubt that.
@yahoo62278 have you ever tried implementing this rule, of no newbies joining the campaign? If not, maybe its worth a try just to see how it will work out and how many participants you would get.
