Topic: Bounty hunters are not beggars - page 12. (Read 28295 times)
This thing happen to me, think I have to change my mindset. Bounty manager denied that I should receive my token just for the fact that I was not able to send the e-mail address but I was able to do the job all in all. It was just the confirmation for the e-mail. I was able to send it on time using different account, mistakenly. but they denied it.
I hate to see bounty hunters beg for tokens, after working to promote a project.
Some people would say that bounty participants are given free tokens and so they feel they should not be treated well and perhaps not be paid.
Even if you do not invest your money directly into a project, you have indirectly invested money.
- The time you spend in promoting a project is much more precious than money, because time spent or wasted cannot be regained, while money can still be regained even if wasted.
- You have spent your energy and effort. As a matter of fact, there are people that sleep so late at night, just because they are trying to promote a project. Except you feel you are not honest enough.
- The electricity used, internet facilities used and other amenities used are paid for. For instance, in my country, there is no free internet facility and i spend so much on browsing data.
All of these if looked into sometimes and the cost implication made, might be much more than the money anyone might have invested directly into a project.
Therefore, you are not to beg for tokens, you are also like any other investor, who has invested his/her money.
If your services are not needed as bounty hunters, there would not have been any token allocated for that.
The right word is claim and not beg.
I totally agree with you. We are spending our time, effort, and money for being a Bounty Hunter. Sometimes we sacrifice our time that should be spent with our families. We often time sacrifice those precious time just to beat all the deadlines and make the project as successful as we spread the word about their project. Well, I don't really say that I beg for it because I have done my part and I am qualified to claim what is really for me. Some people would say that bounty participants are given free tokens and so they feel they should not be treated well and perhaps not be paid.

These are not really free tokens we have worked for it what you said are all right, I could have just promoted my online sites in my signature or watching movies or chatting with my friends but I opted to do these things because I like it here and there are ICO that I want to promote it really causes time and money.
Bounty members are not just beggars; they are hard-working people who want to get the results they deserve. But now there are so many ICO scam projects that make the bounty members waste a lot of time and effort but not wholly get any reward. So worried to talk about this!
I am very much in agreement with you, because indeed for the current situation the bounty members who have worked hard and wasted a lot of time just to be able to finish their work but did not get any reward. so they should have been able to get the hard work they had done, but again what happened was that there were many ICO projects that ended up scamming.
I think the best case is for bounty managers to try and remove those trying to spam the promotions and others just been lazy to pay those who work hard for it

Bounty hunters are not beggars, it is true and in my opinion bounty management team already aware of this. The problem is that bounty hunters are some sort of a scammers nowadays though not all and sad to say it. Applying multiple accounts in a single bounty is a common problem i see and hard to solve. That is why bounty team is doing their best how to combat this fraud and we should do our part as well to solve the issue.
Actually bounty hunters spend a lot of time for advertizing of the ico project and they receive payment in their tokens. At the same time participants I don't know in general their work will be paid or not. All advertizing agencies which do advertizing of this sort take a lot of money and demand payment in hard currency, generally it is dollars. Very much it isn't pleasant to me when all accuse bounty hunters of falling of the price of a coin.
this is a personal matter. Everyone chooses how to dispose of their tokens. I believe that it is better to sell tokens at once, because most of them already sell immediately. in addition, investors also sell. can be to leave part of on possible growth.
We honestly do the work, the conditions of which are registered initially and should not change, and then complain about us when we demand our payments. Unfortunately, bounty hunters have no guarantees on payments.
It is sad that bounty hunters give their efforts in promoting a certain project but it have no assurance of being paid in the end. We don't want such thing happen to us but it happens that some company never give their promises and letting bounty participant got nothing from them. Of course, they will get angry and keep complaining cause that's the only way, besides we can't file case against the project owner.
I am of the opinion that bounty hunters are professional contractors that willingly delivered their services effectively, but got treated badly by some greedy bounty managers and project owners.
The only difference between the services offered by bounty hunters and that offered by google is only on the pricing.

I consider the contribution as work and if I contribute work to a project and the project is a success then I expect to be remunerated for my work. There is no rule that says you have to conduct a bounty and if you don't think it contributes value to your project then don't do it. But if you do decide to conduct a bounty then you need to treat those that take up the challenge with some respect and more importantly honour the terms of your agreement.

Yeah, why beg when it is your reward for the services that you have rendered. Bounty hunters were the one responsible for making a project successful and in return they treat them as beggars though not all bounty managers were doing that. They must remember that bounty hunters are also investors. They just participate in bounties to help promote the project so that they can be assured that their investment would be a success.
You are completely right as bounty hunters invest their time, energy, knowledge and their contacts (friends, network)
and it is as valuable as they invest their capital. Many looks at bounty hunters as beggars and it is a wrong attitude
as bounty hunting is a service like any other marketing activities.

Yes you are 100% right bounty hunters are not beggars. Nothing is free bounty hunters also works hard for the projects they participated. Bounty hunters also put their efforts to promote the projects that's why they get rewards as a coin of the project. Bounty hunters should also be treated like an ICO investors. Because they give their precious time for promotion of any project that is also very important.
Being part of bounty campaign does not mean that you are a beggar, we are just want to take less risk in gaining the coin that we want. Not only money is being invested on it but also the materials you used to join on it, without that you cannot learn to do such things along the internet. Time and effort can be paid of because you work for it. We urgently need government regulation of ICO projects to put an end to this lawlessness and fraud.
Even though I dislike it if a few projects try to scam bounty hunters, but to call for the government to regulate is the last thing we want in the crypto scene.
By the way, which government? All of them? 
Who said that bounty hunters are beggars? At first beggars just wanna get money without doing anything while bounty hunters have to complete work weekly to get stake and token at the end of every bounty campaign, I don't think why there is any guys think that bounty hunters are beggars. LOL. Maybe they said that just because of they were jealous. LOL.
I think bounty hunters should be paid on time and no excuses should be made. Spending time to promote a project and giving your best effort to meet all the requirements is not a joke. I think they should be more considerate about bounty hunters since they have devoted their time.
If we would be beggars, then devs wouldt pay us for promoting their projects. Its all about promotion and marketing these days and projects are using more funds for marketing then development.
TC I totally agree with your words. You are telling the truth. The most expensive is that we have this time, which is impossible to return. It passes. And it's a shame when, after well-deserved work, you have to beg for your payment.
For you time seems to be no issue, 600+ posts of which 200 not yet counted as activity and no merit points. Signature campaign without merit... Don't think you will get any bounty reward.
Without offence, but bounty workers have to provide value for a project, it's not just about doing tasks, then a project could as well program a bot who does all the work.
