Topic: Bounty Hunters being trapped - page 4. (Read 2401 times)
if the problem date or duration is not in accordance with the original plan then I can understand it, but when the gift token or allocation for the prize program does not match what was promised at the beginning, I feel that I am really cheated and trapped, I really ask that's why someone who wants to do that to a bounty hunter who receives only a few percent of the total supply
I would say you are being overly dramatic.
Yes, it is frustrating, but you are making it out as if you are some kind of victim of a terrible scam and are being held prisoner.
Don't like it, then leave.
Maybe you will feel cheated that you won't get paid for past work, but you need to be smart about your time.
If a campaign or ICO is extending (most likely because they haven't made as much as they wanted), then that is a huge red flag.
Chances are, even if you stick with it, the token will end up being worthless.
In the crypto world, it is important to learn when to cut your losses to move on to better opportunities.
The same goes with bounty hunting.
And at the very least, do you feel comfortable working for such a company?

I took part in ingotcoin bounty for about 5 months, as a result, the project attracted $ 40 million, but for the team it was not enough, they decided to return the funds to investors and run ico again, but they will distribute coins for the bounty
Yes, now it really has become much more difficult for bounty hunters to interact with bounty companies. I also have experience of such extension and my bounty company lasts for more than 30 weeks and each time is extended for 2-3 weeks. I can not get out of it, because I do not count all these weeks worked. So my choice is to wait and do everything as described in the company's terms or else all my work will be meaningless.
Please accept my condolences.Also I am a member of the bounty company Zero Carbon (social network). Already and throw a pity, got used to it)) But seriously that such projects are becoming more and more. It's all very depressing.
On the contrary, I was a part of the privcy.io. Received over 15k airdropped coins over the 20 weeks, as promised, and am now free to move onto another project. On top of that Privcy is rewarding it's hodlers with a 1 year continuation of AD for anyone with a balance in their registered wallet of over 10k PRIV. For less than a $100 investment it's more free satoshi in a bear market with a coin that hasn't fallen beneath 150 sats despite the seemingly neverending blood bath. PLUS POS rewards at 10% for another 8 months.

I have observed that most bounty campaigns nowadays are not complying with their tagret end date. No problem with extend the campaign but man, these projects are now imposing hunters to not remove their signature until the end of the campaign. This prevents participants from leaving the campaign. Poor participants cannot break free from this and to look for other productive campaign. They have no choice but get stuck and post for these companies. Did you have the same experience? or Do you observe the same pattern? please enlighten me.
I've been involved in a campaign since February (2018). The project runs for 5 months but then lasts for another 2 months. This really annoys me and loses patience. It's not fair to bounty hunters like us.
Because of the falling market, many investors simply do not want to invest their money in ICO projects. Therefore, many projects can not even collect soft cap and they have to extend the time for sale. and bounty hunters of course suffer because of this. there's nothing you can do and you have to wait. personally I have already 3 bounty extended the deadline and when they will end exactly I do not know
Many bounty hunters now generally do not receive rewards for their work and I can not even imagine how this will end. I believe we could cope with it

If the company is absolutely no and you do not see the point to participate in it, do not worry about your steaks, leave them and find a more worthy company. I think that with a similar situation met many. I go out if I don't like the company. Why be there. I have observed that most bounty campaigns nowadays are not complying with their tagret end date.

Thanks for putting up this post as i am a victim of this too. I really do not understand why they can not keep to the set rules and regulations of the Bounty Campaign. Just image if any Hunters break those rule, such participants will be disqualify. Can we disqualify them? Absolutely No. Bounty hunters are always at the mercy of both the Bounty Manager and the project team coordinator. I participated in EOSex Signature campaign and now they(The Team) instructed the Bounty Manager to extend the Bounty probably because they haven't hit their target yet. Now the bounty that was suppose to end on the 28th of November have been extended to 31st of December and i have to wear this signature till then. I just hop they do not extend this campaign longer than this.
Actually I don't think that its a big problem, to wait one or two weeks till stack will be counted, however probably I just did't meet campaigns when bountyhunters really was trapped. So I can advice you choose more wisely next time.

Yes, I had the same experience.
The rules of participation in most campaigns stipulate that the signature cannot be removed until the end of the campaign.
What did I do? I removed the signature without waiting for the end of the campaign. After all, it is not known how long it can last. Or maybe the project will be completely canceled.
Now many companies are extending the bounty due to the negative situation on the crypto market. Earlier, when the price of BTC was high, there were cases of early termination of the ICO, as well the bounty ended prematurely.
I remember the same situation was with chimera(xaya) people had to wait for a really long time to remove their signatures. And also they got the small profits
Well I have not experienced those kinds of bounties. I am not sure really but I would be able to accept maybe 2 weeks of extention but nothing after that. I would appreciate those companies that are able to take care of their bounty participants and not give them very hard times when it comes to waiting.
There have been many discussions on this issue. This is a very common phenomenon. The main reason for this kind of thing is that the bounty hunter must complete all tasks before he can get the payment, but the payment is usually just a verbal Commitment, there is no binding force for ICO sponsors, because they can modify the rules arbitrarily, can delay payment, or even no pay without any punishment.
In essence, this is an unequal contract at the beginning, and the only choice for bounty hunters is to participate or not to participate.

In fact, this whole cryptocurrency market is related. The large depreciation of the cryptocurrency market has caused the bankruptcy of miners and the stagflation or failure of ICO projects. Therefore, I think the price of Bitcoin is a weather vane affecting all cryptocurrency industries.

what can I do, this is the obstacle for bounty hunters, of course the risks that must be accepted. but if you have capital, especially the altcoin you have, you can trade. and now the market is trying to grow, trade is the best option that can be done
I really doubt the campaign dragging too long, really very time consuming that the value of the return is not worth the effort. I am stuck 3-4 projects ended but can not pay token. Maybe I should give up doing the bounty.
