I have been wandering around BitcoinTalk for a while and know the reach of Bounties in the last few cycles. This time I was wondering to do a bounty for a client I am helping.
Things that I noticed here:
1. You need to be a Bounty Manager.
Is that a prerequisite? A new account won't be able to do it?
If you already found a client that will launch a bounty campaign here, and they already assigned you to be their bounty manager then a new account doesn't matter. The only downside though is that, if you're a newbie-ranked user, you can't post any images in your bounty thread, and as you rank up to Jr. Member, you can post images from there.
A new account doesn't matter if you want to be a bounty manager TBH. There are some restrictions, but the trust is something that will be important if you want to be a bounty manager. It will take a long time to build it.
2. I don't see any bounties now.
Has the bounties and hunters phase faded away?
If you will look at the bounties section, there are still new bounty campaigns being launched although it wasn't as many as it was many years ago. You don't see any bounties now? You might want to visit the bounties section for that. As for bounty hunters, they are still here spending their time earning a few bucks. TBH, I don't know if it's worth their time "UNLESS" they're using multiple account which most of the time is the case for most of the bounty hunters.
