Bounties are long term working model we see benefits of bounties only when bitcoin bull run and alt coin season meantime we should select and work for best projects
this year this did not happen when bitcoin grew from 3 to 10 thousand dollars. the problem is that bounty campaigns will make a profit when the entire cryptocurrency market shows positive dynamics but not just bitcoin Bounties are taking more sudden turns than ever,now I don't realize what to accept anymore,i need to pass on a message to all bounty hunters on here that bounties with working items can turn scam,yes it transpired already,bounties with genuine use life cases or working products can go to be trick directly before your eye.
Regardless of whether the groups or teams are professionals or they have great previous chronicles doesn't mean they can't trick individuals,they are just feeding investors with fake use cases to lure them

Well, you cannot eliminate the human factor, but in most cases, if a team has good and clean records with several successful projects, they are more likely to continue to maintain that status quo and not want to tarnish or destroy the reputation that they have been working for.
Also, a working product can be in different forms. There might have an MVP, which sometimes might not worth considering for investment and there might be a complete working product. So when you have this, choose what to invest in.
This is more or less the same reason why genuine projects failed to raise substantial funds to pursue their development. Investors are very careful and you can't blame them. So many bad actors had ruined everything. Once projects are not doing or turning to scam, bounties are being seriously affected too. Hard to make penny in bounty these days.
I don't think I can participate in any bounty again till bull run come , cos many are just here to waste pple precious time and cast away with their money with the token tradable but no distribution will be done which is big scam in town now.
Only very few projects are worth a hunter's timw and effort these days. After spending hours and days promoting projects, some delay payments, some don't pay and in many cases the rewards are terrible. It's sad that it's becoming more difficult to make a reasinable amount from bounty hunting. Even platforms like bounty0x and bountyhive are feeling the impact also.
In the crypto world the occasions can be good, but they last very little and you have to take them when they are there.
The bounty had a moment - two years ago - in which they earned very well. Then everything collapsed and now it's just a waste of time.

You just have to accept it. Bounty hunters are the lowest rung of the crypto social ladder. No cares about your predicament. That's why you shouldn't think of bounties as a source of income. Think of it as a way to pass the time.
I completely agree with your statement. Unfortunately, the participants in the bounty campaigns aren't protected in any way, and any campaign it is a roulette game. It's very sad that many are decided to leave this sphere, on which they had high hopes.

unlike previous year ago, where bounty hunter still make money from bounty campaign, today is too difficult where more and more hunters are coming to join and many projects that fail, or when can be exchanged only get a few dollars (we can say it's useless token/coin)
Now the biggest problem is not the number of participants but the small amount of normal and honest campaigns. few campaigns pay rewards and few honest managers

Interesting. So what was the project with a working product that tricked you? Maybe you can also open a topic in the scam accusation board and provide evidence. We can have a better understanding if we can see more information.
You know what Sir, the author of this topic was telling the truth, there are many of the bounty campaign projects are abusing the bounty hunters. Where mostly in the end they took advantage the majority of their participants. It is really hard or difficult so far to find the legit project campaign. And project campaign, can be a tools for the scammer to scam the community here in the forum.
Projects with working products can't stoop so low to trick hunters what they do best is not pay at the end but they don't turn scam as they have their projects known and developers known as well court case can be served to them. The only way we can prevent is we are not joining with them, so they don't have any participants to their project, and they cannot continue the project itself.

I like your last sentence "feeding investors with fake use cases to lure them" and that's what really happens, have you heard the project IronX and Bitmillex, after getting funded they create their exchange platform and list it to low exchange then leave it just like that, and create the now famous alibi the market condition is bad.
As some said, the best thing to do right now is probably to pick renowned bounty mangagers and chose a campaign from them. But even then you cannot be completely sure that the project doesn't screw bountyhunters over. For example it happened with MenaPay where Bounty0x couldn't make sure that all bounty hunters get paid.
actually it is not surprising because when ico is popular in 2017/2018 some of us in this forum will definitely have an idea under this kind of project (ico), going forward it will deteriorate and of course this will affect the bounty activities because maybe the earnings we can get will certainly It really changes if it is likened and I certainly have time to think about this and it turns out to be true and I don't think there is a solution especially for the bounty campaign problem, the choice is to give up or keep following it.
I was out of Bounty Hunting for a while and just got back in again, as I was really dismayed with the lack of decent projects throughout the most of 2018 and the earlier part of 2019. I have come back to try to work hard again in this area, but am wondering if the situation is gettign any better or not. Time will tell and I am only selecting at least good Bounty Manager's projects, where at least I have a better chance of earning a little decent amount of Crypto. I have lost a lot in the last bear market so starting literally from 0 all over again. I am not sure if I will be afforded the luck I had in 2016-2017 but you never know, even if one out of five projects I am involved in, for example, pay me out a decent reward, I will be happy with that. Our time though is passing very fast and is very precious and I feel at my age, I am running out fas tof this precious asset we have, TIME, that is. I hope I can choose decent bounty jobs so that my time is valuable enough to stay on the Internet.
Bounties, beside social media (twitter or facebook reposts) takes plethora of time and creativity and could be considered as real job. Translating, writing quality articles and reviews takes time, investigations and knowledge and when the projects fail or even worth - turns out to be scam it can really turn you into a an investor that lost his funds.
Bounties will be becoming dead soon if developers keep doing stupidity plans which they only care of their own but not with the investors. How many times that we've been fooled these developers but some of us are trying to promote their questionable projects. Though not all of them seems to be like that but most of them. If we could imagine in 100 projects, I don't know how many we're able to give their promise, 3-5 project? Will it hope so.

Bounty hunters in my opinion should be like investors in choosing a project because a scam project only consumes our time and we don't get any results from promoting the project. Therefore, in my opinion it is important to choose a bounty that is managed by a good bounty manager because a good bounty manager will not be arbitrary in choosing projects
