There is going to be another problem for bounty hunters soon, now that ethereum is over 1900$ finally the gas fee keeps increasing and majority of bounties are smart contract, team can easily say the gas fee is too high so they can't send tokens to bounty hunters, I think it's the right time for bounties to start paying bounty hunters in USDT Tron or BTC, what do you say?
It might be selfish but here's my own answer: their campaign, their money, their rules. They can pay hunters in any currency as they want, as long they are honest and keep what they have promised at the beginning. If you think you are not suitable with bounties that pay in erc20 then don't participate in it, just ignore them and move to bounties that pay in USDT (trc20) or BTC like you want (if any)
Actually, it is simple, it you can't carry the burden of receiving those erc20 tokens, you can opt not to participate. I have read somewhere, one project, stating that the payment is already ready but it will commence once the gas fees are lower as they set it to certain value. So once the gas fee meets their set fee, it will start sending to the participants. Now, if such fee will not happen, then, it means, the participants will not receive their tokens. Such disappointing plan for those who participated in their program. Anyway, if you don't have that patience, better join btc-paying campaigns.
