Topic: BOUNTY HUNTERS: Don't sweat it. take it easy. you are lucky if you get PAID. (Read 888 times)

Thats whats missing to some bounty hunters, they dont put time even  just a little time to make a research on the bounty where they want to join in. And in the end they will blame managers for not gettingvtjier rewards.

If you want to reduce the risk of getting dust for your work, you need to spend some time researching the project before joining the campaign.
If you do not know how to do it, choose campaigns run by trusted and experienced managers.
Often, managers are very lazy and do not verify users or their work. Then the reward pool is unfairly distributed, because scammers get the most, and honest users only get a small part.

So why not change the terms and move on from bounty hunting? There are a lot of different things that bounty hunters can change to. Look for the bitcoin paying campaigns happening in the forum. We have new ones coming up every week and if you are working to develop your writing skills and have a flair for it join them. Of course earned merits become a obstacle here but one should take it as challenge.

Eh not every investor comes to this forum to check whether something is a scam or not. When some known close friend tells you to buy something to get rich these people end up sending their money there. Of course they are not professional investors because to be so you need to be cunning and clever before risking your money.

Bounty hunters will need to open their eyes and accept that all projects are like that only.

No don't just accept it report them in the scam section so people become aware of their wrong doing and no bounty hunters will trust them again if ever they do another round of campaign, and investors will also not trust them, if they scam their bounty hunters they will likely scam their investors, so don't be just quiet make a noise.

That is the saddest part that will happen to us bounty hunters, after working for 2 to 3 months on a campaign they wont paid us. The only thing that we could do is to accept it,  because once we join in a bounty we accept to whatever happens on the project.

But its not fair if i get $2 or $3 after spend my time to promote a project for several months.Even some project reach to succesufull goal, got full support from hunters but they refuse to payment or reduce the amount or stopped project suddenly with lame excuse.that's also cause frustration & disappointing.but nothing to do without accept the fact that usually happening to us

Decreasing rewards is actually the identity of the cheater and many such projects they refuse to give tokens to hunters even after success. Every day they set new times to distribute tokens. This way they reduce the tokens and again there are many projects they can catch the era and fake promising every time.

I dont why bounty these days, some of them do not pay even the project was successful. Some bounties you will have to wait for months, then they reduce the bounty until it wont paid.

Joining in bounty altcoin has higher risk to don't get any payment since it's unpredictable, whatever the coin/token will be listed or reached their initial price. But it also can make you earn decent profit if the coin/token listed on big exchange and it will pump. All people who want to join in altcoin bounty should be ready for those risks once the bounty ended.

POOLZ is a good one actually i wanted to join but hardly can't post everyday in the forum already. i'm too busy running my online business as well. i hope bounty hunters will not just put all their time on hunting that you depend to it. there are other opportunities where you can earn also.

before joining you should be asking whether they are real project. i also have joined a scam project, its not good. and i can't just take it easy.    good days are coming bounty hunters, just hold on to your old coins that you think will pump when bullrun comes.

that's true.but bassically it is not a new thing for bounty when a project get extended by team & then hunters can not but obey to work for that project, keep promoting that months after months.but at the end of bounty period, many project truned into scam or team members got disappeared without giving hunters anything. That's really painful & still don't have any solution for this issue

Managers with good experience and rating in handling bounties are good bounties to join in. Like my current bounty it is manage by reputable member and has good rating in handling campaigns.

Most bounty hunters don't spend time checking even the basic information about the rules of the campaign, so there's no chance to talk about researching the project itself.
Sometimes there are projects that are really well prepared and difficult to distinguish from the real ones.
However, if someone does not want to waste time (often it is several weeks or even months), he should spend an hour or two checking at least basic information about the project.
Unfortunately, most behave like robots, and scammers take advantage of this and have a free promotion.

I do usually look upon the manager, and research of his recent project. Most hunters avoid research that gives negative impact over the crypto space. They somehow heard that bounty campaign and airdrops are the best way to make money. I made also money through it. Newcomers set their full attention on this money, that's why most times they were unlucky.

Thats the right thing to do but the problem is most hunters dont give time to research about the project if they see good bounty allocation they just dive in without any knowledge abiut the project.

1% of the total supply is only for the bounty do you think it can affect the price once they distribute the rewards?  Some legit projects distrubute the rewards on exact date, it only means that once a bounty never given in exact date 3 times, the bounty is scam.

Seem like that is a strategy for them to avoid the token price dump, it is not about good and bad of the project itself but I'll do the same way if I got a token from bounty campaign and the token has been traded on the exchange I'll sell them if the price go up. This is what has happened in most bounty hunter, they need profit because they have worked. So, the team behind the project will looking for the strategy to make the token price doesn't fall drastically. We can find many project out there who distribute the token partly or even I ever seen there is a project who distribute all the token but they make a rule for all bounty hunter to set the limitation to sell the amount of the token.

That means if we must do a deep research again to the project. Remember any project that didn't look like a scam project can be a scam project anytime.

I have experienced that so many times when there's a legit project turned into a scam project. Just use this as a funny thing for me. I didn't take it seriously.
That actually depends on how lucky we are. Anything in the bounty is still abstract.

If a project never try scam then investors can sell but if a project team don't want distribution bounty token then we can't do anything for it. Although a smart investors don't invest in shitcoin but many hunter work in shitcoins bounty were without more analysis. By the way we should avoid a shitcoins bounty if we will found it.

Bounty hunters shouldn't promote any project if they found it as shitcoin.its not important that, we are lucky cause we can sell!! Its about investors, who invest on project and make it successful. If bounty hunters continue promoting shitcoin, that will be the reason loss for investors.then investors will be reduced & good project will be unsuccessful

Really wanting to withdraw my mind from the bounty when i see a project team did not distribute bounty token and try to cheat. In fact, just as it takes a lot of time to work on a bounty, we also get lot of hard work of complete  a bounty program. Anyway i finish few good bounty recently and i hope they will paid token for all hunter.

And even if they know, many people just don't care about it, they just got what they wanted, the project promotion, and that's it, they continue their development

I do also joined on bounties that are not still distributing bounty tokens even the bounty already ended 4 months ago, hopefully they know the hardwork of bounty hubters to promote thier project

But honestly speaking even after checking the project may fail. The project is an attempt to raise money and failure will mean they will just snowball it for some private funding and even if they dont get any, they are going to stop developing followed by ghosting on social media and deletion of their telegram accounts. Does that sound familiar? Truely 99.99% of the projects are just like that. So it is better to accept that any bounty that one wishes to enter will be a scam or a failure.

The only thing needed is bitcoin, not some shitcoin. So stop going for those.

Even if you check the project yourself, the chances of being deceived are still very high, but there are cases when the project is really good, and they immediately write that the pool is very small, but people still enter it, realizing that they will get a penny, and then they start complaining about why there are so few, I don't understand such people

Most of the hunters were not that interested in checking before participating. Even though they had gotten a legit project, they didn't know what project they were promoting at the time.

The real reason is that there are many good projects that do not want to evaluate hunters and refuse to give tokens. Also i feel lucky because in 2020 some projects gave me tokens. During this covid-19 bad time i joined some bounties and some of them projects have not yet started the work of token distribution and maybe they are continuing to try to cheat a bit.

Right, we dont know what project will be a legit one and a scam. Ive joined in many bounties  before and i thought that all the bounties i joined  were good but only few of them paid the rest are scam.

I've seen thread like this so many time, we all know we should never join bounty blindly without knowing the detail of the project, you can do that in 2017-2018 but not anymore. The truth is nobody really know which project is legit or good, sometimes we learn about the project and you thought it was good project but in reality it's a scam, and sometimes it doesn't reach the softcap, or the price is too low, i can't even pay my internet with it. i personally spend more times on finding the project rather than join blindly and spending more times doing all the task.

Even how supportive a bounty hunter into a project if the team not doing thier promises, like bounty distribution delay again and again thier patience will do go down.

hunters also need to learn how to be patient and be supportive to a project which they campiagn for, some hunters are just too desperate and sometimes can trigger the ill-treatment from the project team, take dia campaign as an example, i understand there was a little delay with the payment stated date but the way some hunters where already calling names was very disappointing, i have been in bounty that paid after 1 year, but they still paid, patient they say is a virtue that not many possess.

Its part of the risk when you do engage with bounty but going into the brighter side then you can earn good amounts which is way more better than on joining on campaigns that do pay up with btc
but gone to those years where the golden age of ICO happened where most of projects do really pays up well and thats the time bounty hunting becomes a real trend but now it turns out to be a shit
when the market had flooded out by lots of projects in the market which are totally useless or garbage but there are still people who do like to do bounty hunting and still have the same hopes
that making out big money out of it but overall or being sensible then i dont see for it to be worth for our time and resources.Its better to find another better thing that is feasible for us.

When people know that there is no assurance first about the success of the project unless someone is very sure it is the future and will rise multiple times then can be part of it. Else better to join some projects where  you get paid in the btc or fixed amount in some crypto where you know you will make some money unlike in bounty program where you end up getting peanuts and not worth it.

I don't care anymore about small payments from a small pool...
rule number 1 so not to be disappointed when joining the current bounty program is 'don't expect too big'. and I will not want to follow carelessly the bounty program so as not to waste my time, energy, and thoughts.

yeah, that is practically truth about, we have been trying our best to promote most of this project but at last they came up with many excuses not to pay people that stood there for them. I have ran many (participated) bounties but no meaningful out come from them yet i don't relent or resigned from any of them all i does is that i kept pushing harder hoping one day my lucky will shine too as others do over here, i have heard many testimony so mine is not separate on deferent from others it's only patient that is required to succeed here.

thank you very much for creating this post.

Best regards

I quite agree with this but FYI if the payaccept team was hiring a new bounty manager to calculate the reward that will be received by the hunters.
In fact that the old manager has nothing to do with the reward calculation.

It looks like the story that has already told us by the team  was true.

What do you mean about the website? the payaccept's site is still working perfectly. You should visit that site again to make sure what you were saying was not true at all

Just like you concluded in the end, there is now a new dimension in promoting cryptocurrency which most of the DeFi projects adopt. Although, some of them still do airdrops.
And on the harsh treatment towards the hunters, we caused. How can a bounty pool for 16 weeks just $10,000 and you still see up to 3000 participants struggling for the peanuts offered mostly the social media campaigns.

What if the bounty manager is only hired to run the campaign and funds are on the team. I think to be fair on both sides, the bounty tokens should be in the hands of the bounty manager once the campaign starts.

Already think like this since first i joined bounty campaign, that is why signature campaign that i only can join 1 project each time i will consider lucky if i get paid especially if higher. With that, maybe we wouldn't think deep if not get paid or maybe price of coin/token that we get have cheap price in market.

We need to report the bounty manager of each campaign that doesn't pay to some DT member, like what happened with Payaccept bounty , they rugged the pull and closed their websites and nothing happened to its bounty manager

People would have that kind of perception when a project do rise its price and then that the time they do consider it out that it isnt a shit project but to look up on the other side then you can really tell or able
to see the difference when it comes to relevance compared to those projects whom do have real actual usage compared to these coins which are just being hyped.

Its not something new though but get used to it since people do really enjoy on letting themselves ride with the waves.It isnt something wrong to be done as long you do profit which is the
primary concern of most people who do jump into this market.

We do have our own brains and will on how we do deal with things and we do have past experience then its up to ours if we do apply it on next things that we do engage.

Buddy,,, almost every bounty is for a shit project. I mean people talk about Chainlink like it was magic or sushiswap. But they went x100 or whatever does not make them not shit projects. They paid a lot out does not make them not shit projects. We have to remember, 99.9% of projects are shit. 1 in 100 are not.

Yes these days bounty hunting is not good as before you should be careful on the bounty campaigns that opens. Hard to choose whos the legit and whos the scam project. And most bounty these days dont pay after the bounty, some will pay after 3 months, others in 3 phases tokens will be sent every 3 months.

I will never agreed to promote of a shit project after analysis. However, if they show me the victim of giving usdt, xrp, btc, eth payment, i am still willing to avoid them. Because there i value investors more than bounty hunters, Because if the shit project continues to grow, the number of investors will decrease drastically at some point.

I would say that these days yo most of the time "work for nothing". Too many problems projects face. Either they can't get listed (because no one once to list them, but those who wants are crappy exchanges and with bad reputation), or they dont raise enough funds to continue working on the project (because having only a good idea is not enough now to attract investors), or they dont intend to do anything related project/bounty at all.

It will be a miracle if project distributed rewards. And it will be a double miracle if these rewards have a value.

the problem is how to determine when we have to determine whether the bounty is a scam or not, because obviously no one is working with a bounty scam but it is the result of an irresponsible person so that we are carried away following a bounty scam. even though I have researched everything in such a way, both WP, BM, Team and Dev, but I always get caught in a scam project.

It was not always a gamble when the number of bounties happening was small in number and thus the excitement and outcome of joining one or two was worth it. When the coin offering spam of 2017 happened this died out and in came a lot of low income country users who made a mess of it all.

Thus today they have become a gamble. But even in a gamble there is a chance to make some money. In these bounties you may end up working for nothing.

They've called bounty hunters because they do always look out for that kind of opportunity and im surprised that there are still people whom do recognized on doing bounty hunting in spite on the current success rate of making money or profits with it.In the quoted message above about coins or projects that had been listed out then its true that majority of them didnt really able to organized or having that bounty task
yet to presume out that they do make out their sale or exposure in other means without tending to touch this forum and still able to get successful.Lucky for those guys did able to join if ever
there are task given or into its sole investors itself.

It is just wasting your time, It means you need more time to see and make an analyst against the project to avoid it. I guess the real bounty hunter who didn't just joined the bounty campaign will take a lot of time to make an analyst against the project that will be promoted. His hardwork will start when he find a project not he leaves when has promoted to project.

So as when you decide to join a bounty campaign and you know everything the ins and out of the project you will be calm and at least you are still comfortable. Because one factor that you leave the campain is you are not comfortable, be it the project didn't have a real function and etc. If all bounty hunter doing that, I think there will not any shitcoin in the market.

No it isn't because you didn't need depo on here but on gambling you need to depo a crypto to know if youl win or loose . Bounty can be consider as a suspense game  ,suspense because you don't know if you can get paid or not but you can play it as a game just like the title said , you don't need to sweat .  Bounty today can be a little different now because we only have ico before but now , we have so many kinds .

How to get better value if you participate in a scam bounty? So if you work in a scam bounty they will never pay your token even if they give you token, then the value of that token will not be available in the market. Because investors will never want to invest in a scam project, so your token will make your mind restless.

I guess bounty is just like a gamble sometimes you win (your bounty is a successful project) sometimes you loose (Scam or Didnt make its ICO/IEO). But Bounty now a days they PAY but the allocation for the bounty is a little bit low

Once a bounty hunter joined in a campaign he/ she agreed to whatever happens to the project but if he thinks that bounty doesnt worth it he can leave and joined another project that its really worth his hardwork.

this problem seems to me the most important, many people just think that if they take as many projects as possible, they will get as much profit as possible, I also thought so before, but as we already know, and proven, the main thing is not quantity, but quality, let it be a few or even a couple of projects, but they will be qualitatively checked, and they need to spend more effort on them

Getting paid from a bounty project isn't really luck, it depends on the quality of the bounty project, just because you are a bounty hunter doesn't mean you should promote all bounties available in bounties section on this forum, many are low rated projects but few high quality bounties still shows up

There are even after a good check of the project, when almost no one expects that the project will turn out to be shit, in the end there is something that we are already used to seeing in the future, scammer

Those are some established coins though. Shit projects come up as new stuff, not old stuff, it is easy to see the difference. New projects coming up are almost always a failure without a doubt.

This is a wrong approach to go with. You have to understand that these so called "promises" of big gains by a project are just sweet words to coax you into promoting them and gathering their excess dropping. It is not ever going to come close to bitcoin and let alone any other coin. So you will essentially be holding a bag of poop, a very smelly one in fact, which is going to give you mental distress of not being able to sell them at any exchange.

Would you rather do that than seek out other methods of earning?

As time goes on a weak bounty hunter will turn to a experienced bounty hunter, there is no way to learn if you won't make any mistakes, it's all gradual process, I don't need to give advice because mistakes will only make things better unless you don't learn from mistakes

You are right. There are always two sides of a coin. For .e, it was a great learning experience as a bounty hunter. And ihope will continue it. We should always be optimistic about the rewards which we get. Not for very long term but short term holding can also attract great returns if project is legit.

I've joined Oikos DeFi bounty last month and I don't think I'm lucky to join because I'm certain that the project is different, the way we do research is different, I'm now promoting DIA project which is another DeFi project and I belief it will be successful too

What do you mean by enjoy while it last? Coinmarketcap have been listing new projects almost everyday since 2017 that I know about crypto and again what makes you think that all those projects that gets on coinmarketcap are good?

I totally agree with what you explained and really understand what you feel because I've also been, and 3x in a row in the period can not be anything at all just run out of time for something that has no benefit, but it is normal for at this time and well I just hope to be more understanding so I don't experience the same thing in the future.

Participating in bounties has risk that you need to take. I advice just do your own research when choosing a bounty look for project that has use and that they can achieve there goals

How a hunter can take it easy if they spend months of time invested on promoting their projects but gets nothing in the end, they will get frustrated and stat blaming other people but its their ignorance caused them to spend time on bounties these days.Bounty hunters should evolve, just join on the bounties with most reputed managers so you can avoid 90% of shit projects.

Their job is to manage the bounty and if they said that they don't have the funds, they can't do anything about the rewards. If the distribution is going to be done by the project developers themselves, the bounty manager is out of it.

But if they've said that they hold the funds and you know to compute the stakes, you can compute it and ask them about what you think you deserve to receive based from your computation and stakes.

I'd like to refute that even bounty manager is reputed, they won't even give out the rewards even though you thoroughly follow their instructions. It is not an assurance, I would not like to drop names but majority of high ranking bounty managers don't give out the payments that the bounty hunter reserves, instead they reduce it so much that you only receive a chunk of change for months of work.

Because money dont smell  Even participating in reputed bounty manager doesnt mean you will get paid. Also, sometimes shit projects can be profitable. All you need to do is to be among first to dump rewards.

As a bounty hunter, I trust only in bounties that pays in bitcoin or ethereum. I’ve been in campaigns with reputed and newbie managers, the result was almost the same.

at least we can minimize it so that this incident does not happen to ourselves.
there are many ways to avoid bounty that end up with a scam, the simplest way is to just follow BM who has done a lot of projects that most of the projects are successful and paid accordingly.
remember basically bounty is not something that should be expected to be a permanent job to pay for living expenses, make the bounty job just as free time so that you do not expect too high which usually will experience disappointment.

I think it doesn't really matter about the project manager always, sometimes they got deceive, there is a project that one of the reputable manager in this forum coordinated the bounty program, they paid and got listed but ended up being a scam, their Telegram group is no where to be found

I agree,  some upright project don't need bounty to promote their project because already they have targeted the right audience through other means of marketing, such project are willing to spend money to market their product to the right audience because they actually have something to offer, i have seen quite a number of project that have successfully raised funds and launched on top exchange without a single airdrop or bounty,  and they have a very active community as well.

It can't be helped because there are many projects that don't meet their expectations, maybe the only way for some hunters who might already be frustrated is because sometimes the results can be out of line with expectations or maybe the project they are participating in is no longer profitable or even a scam might be one- their only choice is to switch to another such as just following a simple social media project or even airdrop and others,

That is a risk not a perk. A perk is supposed to be an advantage that one has, this is not, rather a risk.

This mentality of making money from a bounty and then moving on to a new one was not the way it was initially supposed to be done. Bounty was supposed to be a rewarding system for people who helped gain attraction to a startup. But from there it went on to bounty hunting since a lot of low income country users started flocking in it leading to a lot of spam. I still consider them to be the cause of their own demise, once they started to use more than one account to abuse the bounties then only the KYC crackdown and worthless projects started to clog the market. I might be wrong though.

That is the perks of being a bounty hunter. We take the risk of our effort, time and energy in this.
You are lucky if you get paid a decent amount but if not, then move on and find a new bounty.

Dah I also think like that way good campaign manager will be always choose legitimate project because that project we talking about can be consideration for bounty hunter on next project. But sometime people try to think to get more money by cheating on that bounty and make that pool reward so small because that bounty have so many sock puppet, this the reason why I never joined bounty over 2 month (a short time can make sock puppet do not have enough time to enter that bounty).

Bounty hunters must do their own research before joining any bounty campaign. There are many signs from which you can tell if a project is going to succeed or it's just another scam.
From what I can see, bounty hunters don't care about this. They will apply to any new campaign and keep posting their reports without even taking the time to read updates from the manager. You can see some posting reports in campaigns that ended months ago!
You should realize that it's not like the old days anymore.

Lets Not  generalized the situation because we knew that majority of those participants in Bounties are only making their living by bounty hunting,they are joining and joining bounties without checking or finding the right one,as i have observe this attitude towards them.

and i hate the idea that they are making complaints after being not paid when the truth is they should have been used to that for many  project they participated.
I think i am familiar with that project as it was handled by Julerz12 or wapinter? anyway yeah  i have seen many complaints over telegram about this issue.

DOGDATA team didn't even payed. They just used this forum for marketing then leave the users with nothing. Maybe someone could ban them by this.

Most time the worth of reward drops due to price dump and to make it more worse, the bounty hunters are the one blamed even after they sold tons of tokens to investors cheaply during presales.
Good bounties like those only get to come around once in a while. Hhampuz and Yahoo62278 manages good bounties not like some managers that accept every bounty that comes there way.

If you are too hungry to join bounty campaign without checking their legitimate, you will never get a good one. In 2018, yahoo62278 brought mb8coin, in 2019 Hhampuz brought temtum. There were some other good projects too which I can not remember at the moment. If you are patient enough, you will get good campaign for sure.

Wait what three months for only 20 bucks, that was insane my dude I don't means to be ungrateful but after we spend all that times just for keep following bounty and 20 bucks all we get (even in future still like 20 bucks), it is even better if we try something new on our life. Doing some research about the project maybe help us out by not falling on that madness.

Truly speaking, bounty hunters are the most frustrated and disappointed set of hustlers here, airdrop sometime but less work. Hunters participate in campaigns for three months and still end up with rewards of $5, this is crazy. So you are absolutely lucky if you get at least $20 from bounty.

Being selected on the slot of BTC paid campaign is not easy, You can't just apply and wait for you to get accepted. Having a good status in the forum can give you more odds of being on a BTC paid campaign, Maintaining a good post, Being helpful, and gathering some merits greatly boost your chance to be accepted.

Being smart on joining bounty is needed nowadays since the majority of projects are hardly giving a good value with their tokens.

That is why i still believe that Bounty manager has  a special part in  finding good company to  promote so the hunters will
get their payment in reliable way.

though having a reputable manager cannot assure us of winning the battle against scammers because in certain times they are also victim of scam projects.

lol even those promising small amount becomes scam so what more those promising the stars and moon?

I totally agree with you mate. When you know the one is might not get a good result, so there should not promote it. Where if we work on this we might loose our hard work. It means a 50/50 chance to get it. But who have more valuable projects to done they shouldn't try it. Every bounty program should check the profitability to get involved in. This way we can have the experience of which one to work which one not.I think here many of post are really helpful many of not this should be double-checked before you are working on a project.

Bro have you seen the slot in those campaigns in most cases and the number of hunters we have! If all hunters only sit around waiting for a slot in the btc paying campaign then it will take a long time they will not have any promotion and no payment,
Between it is very convenient for those who selected in this campaign to say stuffs like this, if it was the other way around you won't be saying this things, some bounties appears decent until they turn horrible.

Ive been through many scam bounties , and here i am still joining .but i learned so many things on my mistakes , never believe on bounties that has more than 500k to 1m usd bounty pool,  check thier whitepaper,  and lastly the bounty manager should be reputed.

Honestly, no matter how good you are at researching, you will not be able to avoid joining a scam campaign .
You will not immediately know that you are participating in  scam  at the beginning of the campaign you will only know that its scam when  campaign is over. So even how good you are at researching That is not enough to avoid joining one of it.

That is right. If they get paid, that's very rare in the times of bounty where most of them are not paying anymore. As being said, it's better to get paid with the little amount rather than won't be paid with any amount that you are expecting.

But as they get paid, I've read some complaints too and that is the division of stakes and the budget allocated for their specific bounty. For example, a social media bounty paid its participants with the budget it said. Because of having too many participants, they get paid with very little amount thus, they complain knowing that kind of bounty will be filled by many bounty hunters.

We already have a lot of campaign and bounties  that will pay you popular crypto like btc,eth,trx and usdt  so why you need to advertise shit tokens ? you just need to always look on the bounties Altcoins section and make sure that you are faster than the other members to join .because there is also a limit with such campaign so you need to be the earliest  to join so you will have the spot.

They don't know. As @Bitstar_coin says, during the campaign, project owners are very servable and likeable. until they raise money and the campaign is over. It is hard for bounty hunters to recognise how serious and honest they are in their intentions. especially when they follow more than one bounty program.
After raising money and ending the campaign, they don't need hunters and trying to reduce the payout as much as they can.

we can not over emphaise the false attitude of these new startups that come rolling on the floor begging for acceptance and fame from the forum and then retun the favor with muted channels and email addresses. it is not an encouraging trend anymore and the loads of hunters i know have dropped drastically. i will urge the forum to have a scrutiny in place for projects coming up with projects and stand as a middle man between the projects and the hunters beyond the trusted and reliable bounty managers.

I can bet with my account here that 90% of the said quality projects NEVER Conduct bounties. i said and i will repeat, most New projects listed on quality exchanges do not conduct bounties. many has failed to conduct COMMON Airdrops. whether you research OR NOT, we are left with campaigns looking for fame here and have little or nothing to offer.

OP forgot to add how hunter should research projects before he joins, with research chances to be paid will be higher, not to jump from one to another bounty without thinking where he is joining. Take it easy, spend some time reading about the project, talk with team members, and find out are they worth your time or not. Few easy steps and you can save yourself from losing time with some crapy project, that will screw you over, or they will pay you in worthless tokens.

Why would you even promote a shit when you know it is a shit? Most of us know that what will happen after a bounty ends but still we promote them. Why not we join campaign only from reputed campaign managers? That would save our hard work a lot and pay us accordingly.

Couldn't agree more, the frustration of being a hunter can't be over emphasis, this is the hunting ground for new startup projects, they come looking innocent and nice, they respond to each questions while the campaign is still ongoing, doing anything they can to gain trust and acceptance,

but immediately the campaign is over, they have manage to gain some little recognition through the help of hunters, they become aggressive and hostile, it is very unfortunate that hunters are being treated this way, and what is sad is there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, but who knows maybe things will turn around eventually.

We can never never stop writing about the tribulation and pains of hunters in this forum. what they passed through the hands of New projects here. some times, we blame bounty managers, other times the project owners. whoever it is, please go ahead and pour out your anger. it is not new here that some new crypto startups wants presence , acceptance and attention. the first place to ask for that is always Here, Next is social Media.
Once such target is achieved, the true identity of some of these projects appeared.
They abandoned the people and platform that gave them such fame. some will ignore questions as about the campaign. Forgetting that it takes time to build a solid ground in anything. when the project dumps, they ran back here creating a ridiculous campaign with peanuts as payment. claimingWE ARE LISTED ON "A" and "B" shit exchange therefore come help us rebuild.

For bounty hunters, Most new projects that got listed on better exchanges HARDLY organize bounties these days. check CMC listing home page and you will be surprised with new projects arriving everyday without any trace of them conducting Airdrops, talk more of Bounties. some will put it out clearly, NOT AIRDROPS.

SO if you happen to join any bounty that pays and you sold out with a favorable price at the market. YOU ARE SO LUCKY. enjoy while it last because some got nothing after the hunt. some got disappointed and frustrated that they abandoned everything.
