Topic: Bounty Hunters Please Explain This ? (Read 341 times)

If you compare bounty campaign that ran before 2017 and the bounty campaign that run currently you will find the answer. I'll be agree if the first factor were scams project, because the scammet have a simple way to attract many investors. Moreover when the hype came you'll forget what should be done before you choose the project you just have a good predict to the project and just store your money on it.

And the second thing is sentiment market itself, you won't ever see the price token/new token went down a lot when it has launched on the exchange. You may see at 2017 ago, almost cryptocurrencies were increasing although the altcoin doesn't have something that can be sold even there was an altcoin who made based on jokes but it was interested by many people.

Since it is very risky to take to participate, Always bounty tokens almost dumped since it will list on exchanges and the main problem is they can't follow the price what they tell at the start of the campaign.

Even if we analyze everything carefully and the project is not fake, unfortunately the current situation on the cryptocurrency market is terrible and there is no certainty that funds for development will be collected. Even if the softcap will be reached, it may turn out that the project will fail. Long story short, the risk that our support will be gratuitous is very high.

Yes, itt do keeps launching in spite of the current market condition for ICO's which had been already known and been not supported
by many already since people already switched up to ieo since they do know that projects will be directly listed and be traded into a certain exchange
unlike on ICO which everything doesnt have the guarantees. I dont see a point why people should continue on dealing with ico nowadays.

there are still new bounties that rise everyday and most of them are fake projects, pretending to be a good project just to steal money from investors.  Its your job to find legit projectst for good rewards after the campaign.

even though they have good funds and are able to pay, sometimes it is difficult to exchange the coin into money, because they are usually difficult to listing in large markets.
most of them also difficult to get a soft cap, because again and again, the matter of trust has declined. some IEOs are pretty good, but they do sell directly in the market, and there is no bounty. so the best option is if there is a bounty that pays directly with bitcoin.

Glory days? More like shitposting days if you had seen the forum in those times. No wonder theymos came up with merit system to stop these people from ranking up with just posting twitter reports all day.

Would you waste time on doing that or develop some skills and get a proper job which pays you?

Because "good projects" dont exist. If they would, then they would not come for crypto as investment method. They would go for the stock market and give out their shares to investors willing to pay for them. Every initial blah blah offering is a cashgrab now.

True, many projects dont even have an MVP (minimum viable product) to develop on. They start projects on what they feel good about without testing if that project really has a market or not.

It all boils down to the decrease in number of ICO launched.  If the number of project conducting ICO or IEO decreases then the number of new bounties will also decrease since is mostly new project that holds bounty.  In response to project not paying hunters timely, i will say that it largely depends on the project financial strength.  Some projects with good funding can pay bought hunters and help buy back at exchange when hunters sell to avoid price dump.  Such project treats hunters well and they pay timely and accordingly, i will advice you devote your time on projevt bounties with good funding

That's because bounty ain't in its glory days anymore. There are still a few successful bounties, but we don't know which one unless we've tried them one by one.
Despite our research about the projects, it's such a hard thing to find a good one. It's all due to too much scammed and failed projects the past years that makes investors kinda hesitant to invest their money in some projects. With lack of ideas, copycat of other projects and all. Even if you found a good bounty, it doesn't mean that the end result will have a good price.

To answer your question is very simple, OP. Investors already lazy about new ICO/IEO since there were lot of ICO/IEO scammed their money even though the project looks so legit. This is not like 2017 where there were been only few projects ICO/IEO, investors are likley prefer to invest their money on some old coins (bitcoin, eth, etc...)

We are within a bear market on the verge of becoming a bull (my belief). There are a lot of variables one has to consider. There was a period of time where the ICO movement was thriving, but only because regulation hadn't quite reached it yet. It was like a wild west, whereas companies were operating within the legal gray area of the laws. On top of all of that the price of Bitcoin was nearing it's all time high, it was a pump like never seen before. All tokens and coins were gradually following Bitcoin's price movement up, so Bounty Campaigns paid much higher then.
  Then the regulatory bodies like the SEC started moving in pretty heavy against cryptocurrency based companies who raised capitol through means of ICO types of fundraising. The claim being made was that many startup companies who sold tokens may have encroached upon the securities laws, in-which if a company wants to raise capitol through crowdfunding, it must check with the SEC first to ensure they're not violating any securities laws by their creation of "so-called" utility tokens. These tokens may have utility but may behave like securities. To prove so, companies are responsible to practice their Due Diligence by observing the statues of the "Howey Test", a test designed to recognize whether or not the tokens being offered constitute as utility only tokens or securities. see "SEC v. W. J. Howey Co" for further detail

In short, it isnt really worthy to deal with bounties nowadays or shall we say it isnt even feasible on the start of 2018.
There are still some few projects that do had some ICO now but sadly even how legit those are, they still failed yet we cant really
deny that ico is almost completely dead.Heck, IEO is the new trend now.Finding other alternative ways on how to earn is the best thing
to be done.

Really hard time to all bounty hunters now because of bounty campaign are becoming scam or not going to play at end of bounty campaigns n due to not successful in their ico or tokens sales because the investors are not trusting new ico or tokens sales if that is legit also due to there are 90 % of ico are going end with scam.

So my opinion is best way to find alternatives to earn crypto currencies due to bounty campaign are almost  died now.

I think that ICOs will start to appear after thr price of bitcoin rise up to $15,000 and we know that there is still people who will entertain this kind of investment and thinking that they will sell it after it after it get listed on exchange but they don't realize that they already take the bait and they've already been scammed.

For me, ICOs are really a bad image for a cryptocurrency and and most of them are 100% scam.

You should expect such since market is not in a good shape presently, the best you can do is keep looking for solid projects, some will still withstand the market and have good value still.

   There are new bounty campaigns, bounty sections is full with new bounties. Many of them are looks bad, in a way that their topic
looks like some amateur try. Which is a normal thing, when you check bounty managers and see brand new accounts.
   I will agree with you Shoreno, low price is better then 0 price. Is it even possible for price to be higher when supply of some new
tokens is measured in billions of tokens. With that kind supply and almost zero demand how can someone expect some higher price?!

no new campaign is coming ? but you also said some project came but not good at all ?  that simply means that there are still bounty campaigns ( ico ) but the good ones are only limited and hard to find nowadays because many project are created bad or some are not bad but its only hard to get investors it maybe because of the status of crypto market and other issues like banning on other countries  .   projects that have low price are more better than projets that dont have a price at all   .

many investors lack confidence in ICO projects because many ICO projects have become scams.
the market situation is also one of the factors that investors lack more confidence in the ICO project.

Even the IEO does not guarantee that the project will succeed. The fact that the project will be listed on exchanges only helps to confirm that real people are behind the project and (probably) have good intentions. It just helps to confirm the credibility of the project. The most important problem is investor confidence. Bounty hunters just have to wait until the market stabilizes and investors return.

In fact, any campaign that you see now should be seen as a childish developer except the it is being released through IEO platform because that is the platform that investors still trust for now to get them a genuine project. Investors became less interested in ICO ever since they released that virtually all projects that they out in their money ended up in the pocket of those that are not serious about the project or really have anything to offer to the public and you and I know that there is no market without these investors.

I think these projects have really bitten hard on the tail of the finger that feeds them and now, they are lacking the interest of investor that is needed to generate money for the project and moreover, hunters too are being so skeptical about projects too now.
