Topic: Bounty hunters are getting axed harder - page 8. (Read 9494 times)

Who guys working hard for a lot of bounty projects then definitely will be benefited. I am here since 2016 and i have seen when i got rewards from randomly though i joined without any research. but now weather is totally changes, getting payment is very difficult even from promising/successful, projects team denied about distribution after end of the promotion.

In my opinion, our work as a bounty hunter began to pay, although not too high, but more stable. Now we have much less problems with KYC checks, agencies such as bounty detective have appeared, which practically guarantee the payment of new tokens. Fraudulent projects also, in my opinion, much less. Problems. of course, there is still, but you can still work.

yes, currently the reward as a bounty hunter aren't worth it, but we must never give up, now most of the rewards don't match our work.
Moreover, the reward program from project based on ethereum, we can't sell it directly because the price of gas is higher than the price of the token.
we just enjoy it, I am sure of the many bounty programs that we participate in, there are those who can give us a huge rewards.

I heard about the distribution issue from Poolz team, this isn't the bounty manager's fault, even if the BM try to use escrow the team might not agreed to it and look for another BM that won't ask them for escrow, joining bounties is like entering the gambling den where you can leave with a smile on your face or leave with unhappiness written over your face

yes before joining any project, of course you have to do a detailed research be it team, developer, product, partner etc. There are all kinds of projects they offer out there that seem real and not easy to find really viable projects. So it's no wonder, if most of the social media bounty slot hunters follow every new project that comes up and don't even care even though they know that the project they are participating in turns out to have a red reputation.

Yes, I agree and all we want to get is to get paid after many weeks of promoting their project. There's some times that you can't really paid by the team. Good to know that there are some bounty managers that try to get the payment first before managing the campaign. Its also good for their end before of sure payment that they get. I salute for those managers that have good feedback about them because of sure payment once they been get the opportunity to manage. If they really paid the bounty hunters, I'm sure bounty hunters will also promote their goals after the campaing.

It's a risk for bounty hunters,it takes time to complete tasks..
the main key is just being patient and always trying hard to get results that don't necessarily pay off.

I agree that this is irresponsible. But what should Fatemablabla do or how can influence on the situation? Fatemablabla is the same hired person do to tasks. She/he cant force Poolz to distribute rewards, nor dictate own terms of distribution. It is even impossible to write an ultimatum that will cause Poolz have a negative reputation, as Fatemablabla is the projects representative here...

There is no certain of getting paid that's why you shouldn't put all hopes on a project you promote, diversify your chance of getting something out of bounties by promoting promising projects only, since anything can happen I advice not to get too attached

Bounty campaigns and the last fifth point, participation in many giveaways, will be the easiest ways to earn cryptocurrency. But, in the distribution, the chance is much less to get tokens, because many projects simply do not pay, and in the bounty, you can still somehow earn money.

This is really some kind of degradation, people should not stop at one thing and not look for new ways to earn money, not develop in any way. I also do not want to support this, we need to show people that you can make money not only on the Bounty, but for this we need to literally change ourselves.

Yes stobox did fulfil their promise and pay hunters at the specified time, something you hardly see I'm bounty of this days, it appears the team of some project are more greedier than some hunters,  all they want is to have free advertisement without any intention for payment,  I have promote more than 4 campaigns that didn't pay, some for selfish reasons why others on the claim the project is still developing, it is quite frustrating to ne in that situation.

Indeed, this should only be used as a side job. some points that I think are taken into consideration if you want to make the bounty your main job

• There is no certainty of payment
• Prone to fraud / Project Fail
• Payment Delayed

There are still quite a lot of risks from this job if it is used as a permanent job. You better find a real job for your needs every month. doing bounty tasks only for the side

The bounty hunters got louder.
This opinion is true, starting from the project rules to the rules in this forum.
the difficulty in my opinion is due to the large number of competitors in the project.

Maybe you're right, I can't know 100%, but that's no excuse, as people who have spent time on their work suffer. And they have to wait a long time for the results, it's irresponsible.  

When will these guys realize that participating in a bounty is not the only way to get your hands on some cryptocurrency? There are dozens of options out there, and all that you need to do is to take out some research. I feel bad when guys claim that they have worked hard for 100-200 hours and even after that the bounty campaign never paid them.. That's how the things work with bounties. Well.. you guys can check these options... in case you don't want to do bounties anymore:

1. Promote advertisements from A-ads or Cointraffic, if you have a website or a blog. If you don't have a blog, then create one. It doesn't take much time.
2. Do freelancing and earn BTC or ETH. Check websites such as Crypto Jobs List or even the services section of Bitcointalk for jobs which are suitable for you
3. To start with very small amounts, you can try microjobs and some PTC websites. adBTC, Coinpayu are examples.
4. If can't find a good job that pays you in BTC, then do freelancing for fiat and then convert the earnings to BTC. You can try Elance or freelancer.com. If you are having very basic skills, then you can try sites such as Mircoworkers and Cloudfactory.
5. The last option is to participate in faucets and giveaways. Check the Micro Earnings section of this forum for more details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0

It took the trouble of posting all this, because I was in a similar position 9 years ago. I want to help the inexperienced users. But if you guys don't have the patience to read all this, then it is of no use.

It has been that way for many years now, that many simply gave up on bounty hunting and gave up cryptocurrency altogether. I have known close people who have made a few dollars over a few months worth of work. The decentralization of crypto ensures that there would be no central authority to govern on crypto, and that includes how companies do bounties. I don't think much will change for a long time, I'm afraid.

It's really unfortunate I must say, cause I know how difficult I find it at times to pick up my phone or turn on my computer to do my tasks, it's really discouraging I must say, from October to December, I participated in about 2 or 3 different bounties and surprisingly, only 1 paid, but the tokens were absolutely shit cus before the bounties were paid, the price of the token has already dumped massively, the other two bounties didn't even pay at all.
But we must not give up cus of this issues, I believe not everyone is bad or greedy, luckily, we will on the way jam a project and will make the bounty participants and investors millionaires.

She or he is not talantless, she is just busy and tries to sit on two chair simultaneously. I've seen somewhere int bounty group, that Fatemablabla has a IRL job and bounty management is her hobby and Fatemablabla could check results and manage campaign only on free time. That is ok with me, Fatemablabla could organize her work as she/he wants. But just dont manage several campaigns simultaneously, concentrate on something one.

I doubt if there is any veteran member here who doesn't understand the way things are with bounty campaigns either from their own direct experiences or lessons from stories told. I have also tasted all that too. The annoying part of all this is that most of these bounties have very stringent rules that make one stay online for a stipulated number of days whether one likes it or not. Otherwise, one loses one's stakes. This has to be looked into by veteran members and I think a measure found to safeguard against projects hoodwinking hunters into working without pay.

USDT payment or escrow is the best process to solve this problem. The Injective protocol was a good campaign and payment was USDT ERC-20 tokens. Injective protocol was charged the rules several times, finally they distributed in the same address as their plans. We can advise that those projects aren't good for investors. Although I think here must be rules about the "changing rules limitations".
