Topic: BEWARE OF HUNTER'S SYNDROME.... (Read 415 times)
Bounty hunters in most cases do their job well. It’s just that their work has become not so highly paid. Sometimes even completely free. All these tightening measures were taken mainly to reduce the number of participants.
I am one of the bounty hunters too, but i often decide to not joining the campaign that requiring KYC to receive the reward.
If i couldn't find any good project, i would not participating on the campaign, that would be only wasting time.
We should decide with clear thinking before we joining any campaign so our efforts wont go vain.
same and in my opinion, kyc is just nonsense because it seems like the ones who are suitable for doing kyc are investors who have quite a large amount of funds, and because I have been following the bounty since 2017 I have always been principled to avoid kyc as much as possible, but at the moment the bounty that I follow doesn't apply kyc but there are rules which enforces kyc if I am deemed to be suspicious but I hope it will not happen. If i couldn't find any good project, i would not participating on the campaign, that would be only wasting time.

Honestly, bounty hunters are to be blame in some case while the project team are responsible for managing the project and make it prosper rather than quench in a thin air.
I beg to disagree with you on this. I have participated in bounties where the project teams were the ones who massively dumped the coins on exchanges before releasing the coins to hunters. How do you judge such? Do you still blame hunters for the collapse of such projects? Wow you're wrong. Every hunters aim is not to make gains through any means possible out here. People carry out their tasks faithfully till the end of a campaign. Every worker deserves their pay. Hunters are paid promoters no need hating souch on them.
That is not true, mostt of hunters back in the are so so greedy that they would want to create more accounts in order to get more rewards that is why KYC has been implemented by some projects which was not supossed to be and other kind of anti cheat program to eliminate cheaters. 
Why do we blame hunters and not the project teams for some initiatives taken by them. But also many thinks crypto hunters are greedy and cheaters but I see it as smartness, they always find loop holes to get their way through. Some finish a project and are richer than most investors(Hunter's Syndrome) 
. So I always say don't feel sorry for a hunter since as their name suggest they could easily kill a project with one shot lolx. Sometimes I just follow project campaigns rules and laugh:
* Some years ago many project had no KYC
*Now various project are doing all sort of KYC from ID's, passport, videos, audios etc yet still HUNTER will Always be a HUNTER
All that a HUNTER want is to make his or her lifetime MONEY from a single project through any fair and foul means.
I know a time will come we will have to follow up in person's to company's office for our reward to curb this behavior.
How can we cure or tame this Hunters Syndrome?

Smartness? Nah, that's greediness.
Please explain to me those people who got red trusted and worse got banned because of account farming and forum spamming.
Please do visit the "Reputation" section under the sub board of Trading discussion regularly so you will know why some bounty hunters are labeled as greedy and cheaters.

Complying the KYC for the tokens coming from bounty campaign ain't worth it.

I do not know what do you really mean by the term hunters syndrome, i am clear in this regard, because if someone has followed the rules and completed tasks everyday for months then he definitely deserves good reward and if this reward ends up in more tokens than even the highest investor, who cares? It is his rightful reward after putting in months of time and effort in promoting the project and spreading the word out and making it a success. Just get out of your narrow thinking and try to learn to appreciate and respect other people's work.
He means about some hunters are able getting more coins than the investors of the project itself.
Im also thinking about that too. We must remember if there was a maximum cap for the reward to be achieved by the hunters even in the majority of the cases, the hunters have got only small amount of money from their effort.

Don't judge all hunter like that. Yes people working as a hunter here because of good payment but that not means they are all greedy and selfish. KYC is totally personal opinion that you want to do it for bounty reward or not. And i also disagree that not maximum project but few projects ask for KYC (in my experience, and maximum time those are good projects). Honestly as a bounty hunter people are not going through in good time, day by day it's going hard to earn from a bounty project but all we have is hope. So yeah wait and be patience for the right time.

Because irresponsible dev teams want to always look right, so the easiest way is to blame the bounty hunter. I have seen a lot of projects that remain successful and can maintain their prices well in the market without a meaningful dump when bounty hunters get their rewards. Logically, if the dev team is afraid of the risk of price damage due to the bounty hunter, why do they hold a bounty campaign? They should know that, considering the right pool and strategy to keep things under control.
Yep some hunters are greedy, this is why the BM must be very strict at the point of application and deplore any instrument that could track cheaters and report same for discipline. It's however wrong to generally insult all hunters, even your username is for hunting.
I know hunters behavior can sometime be awkward but i think it is the team that mostly makes the hunters angry either by not paying rewards, delaying distribution, reducing reward tokens after campaign ends, kyc announcement after campaign ends, announcement of token locking after campaign ends, these are all bad intention moves that can hurt hunters so teams should avoid these situations and rewards should be distributed as soon as stakes are added and everything is checked.
Each time i went through the bounty section all i can see is 90% greedy bounty hunters which barely read project concept and the necessary requirement before participated in a bounty campaign.
Are you bounty hunter or not??I am sorry but after reading your post I can conclude that it is full of hate to bounty hunters. It is like a description of a bad experience from a bounty hunter to others. Sorry but you mustn't blame bounty hunters only. See those shit projects that only polluted this forum!
With that been said, i dont blame bounty hunter but I'm making a statement that will bring change in the system and if bounty hunters are more careful they could spell something fishy about shit project point out right from the get go.
Anyway, not all hunters are careless and stupid. There are many of them who are always selective and don't want to wasting time by participating in random projects. So, do you see the smart hunters only 10%? I don't think so.. lol 
Thats correct. The careless one are many than reasonable one and you'll agree with me on this if you go through some bounty campaign thread will see different kind of bot registration.Why do we blame hunters and not the project teams for some initiatives taken by them.

Only bounty hunter that registered with alt account will be richer as you claimed through bounty even back in the early days when bounty pays well.
KYC is held to meet regulations, besides that it also has reasons to prevent scammers. however, some people always blame the bounty hunter for what happens to the price of a coin. but, if you think about it well, then there will be an oddity from that. Yeah, but that's a risk of a bounty hunter. Even investors who take part in the pre-ICO / IEO can make a dump price because the bonus is too large, or there is no wall in the market.

What you (OP) are saying is damn confusing, hunters don't make money that can last them for eternity, not even in 2017 when many ICO projects were successful, bounty cheaters are been dealt with non stop and 99% bounty projects today pays penny to hunters
At the beginning of the project, they were very supportive of the hunters to complete this work, but after a specified time, the prizes could be shared how much of their reasons for delaying and even cutting the costs they had to incur for the hunters. , of course it's not fair. One larger aspect, they continue to think that hunters damage costs while their tokens or coins start trading in the market
I do not think that this can be fixed. For a year I see that people constantly write about the problems associated with bounty campaigns and I believe that nothing will change. Everything will become harder. I'm afraid that next year the bounty hunters will receive less and less money
New ICO projects will always need good advertising, and bounty hunters generally do it well. I have long been awaiting the regulation of this type of activity by states, which would put an end to the high level of fraudulent projects. In addition, in June, the FATF recommendation that KYC should be applied only if transactions exceed one thousand euros should finally come into effect. Since bounty hunters already receive less than one thousand euros in new tokens for their work, there will generally be no need to require us to pass a KYC check. This check for the bounty hunters played a very bad role, since it allows unscrupulous ICO teams, under various far-fetched pretexts, not to pay us the earned tokens.
Bounty will never cease in this forum and the hatred by investors will just grow even more over time. They just see these people or us, as hindrance to their profting on new projects. I understand that they have the rights to get angry or mad when the price dumps. Of course they did invest their money while hunters are doing a simple task such as social media specifically retweeting a projects tweet is not a hard thing to do and will not eat up their brain cells to that.
But what I am not agree is how they degrade hunters for dumping. How can a small portion of supply might ruin the entire market? There are some part of blamd on other traders too if you check the whole picture.

But in 2020 I doubt any bounty hunter will make such huge amount compared to the investors or the project team because the quality got reduced in a huge amount not the rewards so bounty hunters are not in their golden run and being a bounty hunter will give more mental stress due to lot of scam projects and efforts wasted.
I agree just last year I asked my friends about their bounty rewards and they all answer that rewards are cut by over 50 to 90% and there are campaign in the ICO that pays people with their token that is already in the market and they are paying from 10 to 25 a week equivalent far cry from what they've received back 2016 and 2017.
