Let the bounty hunters to get paid by established coins if not bitcoin for their work. Managers will not need to worry about allowing newbies because the genuine members will start showing interests. The promoters want free marketing and expect to have massive good things from that marketing? Nothing is free.
2. No neg trusted accounts can join period
Are you sure that most of the DT even deserve to be in the DT network? Forget about the feedback they leave. These days the DT network is filled with vulnerable users who are doing everything to have a place in the network.
1 merit/copper member is needed to make a post on "Bounties (Altcoins)" board. Although i doubt theymos will add such limitation since it has similarity with newbie jail.
All these 382 newbie will find a way to receive 1 merit and will post the proof of authentication. Result is 382 merit used in abuse LOL
In my opinion, stop paying for any service in token/altcoin but accept only bitcoin (it's a bitcoin forum). 1st: Scam projects will not come here and spend cash in advertising. 2nd: Since scam projects will stop coming, the genuine projects will start getting their attention and they will feel encouraged to spend money on marketing. 3rd: Since it will be paid by bitcoin (genuine cash), good users will start joining bounty and managers will not need to worry about having less participants to accept newbies.
Unfortunately this will never happen. As a few have already said, these companies pay in shit tokens which makes it little risk for them. It's done that way deliberately, so they have little to no risk. They lose the cost of making the token ($20-100), the cost of a manager (tokens-$200 or whatever is negotiated, and they risk time to possibly sell a load of worthless tokens. 99.9% of bounties are a scam that never list or if they do they list on a shit exchange with little to no buy support.
So getting them to pay everyone in an established coin will be nearly impossible. Also like others have stated, there are plenty of no named managers who will always take a campaign no matter what their payment method is.
