The project owner is not responsible to the campaign participants. The manager acts as a guarantor and the participants completely rely on his reputation and his word.
You're correct, but that wouldn't be easy to escrow the tokens
Therefore, any costs that arise must be covered from the manager's own funds.
If the manager has to cover all token payments, then being a bounty manager should be rich, we know that bounty campaigns always allocate quite a lot of their tokens, let's say $50k in tokens. Of course, it would be crazy if you had to risk that much money just to get the weekly fee.
The whole point is if nothing is escrowed and no manager accepts to run the bounty, then the team cannot scam unless they run their own bounty. If that's the case NO bounty hunters should join.
If you join a bounty that has nothing escrowed, no matter who the manager is, you take responsibility for your actions. Don't make a post here crying.
That's a good point
We can't do much with the bounty that has passed, in the future I would agree that there should be additional rules in the bounty section, if the rules have been added there should be no more cases like this, both bounty hunters and managers can take their own risks.
In the end, I did not run away from the Bounty Campaign, I'm still responsible for pursuing the payment to the project marketing.
