Its hard to find good project and you can't predit what happen that project in future.
So, before you want to join Bounty, you must check it carefully and don't forget to always check it every time.
Because only check 1 time is not enough to trust that project.

Checking is not the matter, there are some projects that looks cool with strong team, but failed to deliver, nearly 80% of bounties are scam, they end up sending worthless tokens to participants, one of the best way is to join a campaign that is being handled by a reputable manager,

Yes, now I see that not only investors who are less interested in a project, but also bounty hunters. it is due to working long months, and when the token list is on the market, the price is so low. Even though it has done enough research, there are still many projects like that. Well, I can't say much about this, because the decision to participate or not return to each of us

it's sad to be a bounty hunter for now, I miss 2016-2017. The last coin from the good bounty is MB8coin, after that I got nothing but junk tokens. but for now I am not desperate and remain a bounty hunter, because I am sure that among the 1000 projects there must be one of them that is real / paying later on. That's all I based on the analysis to minimize the bounty scam and investors trapped in it.

------------
my suggestion for this lately is to follow the IEO bounty, because in my opinion it is more secure than ICO.

You're right, mate. In observing the development and growth of the project we must be willing to do periodic checks to find out the latest news about their progress and verify it, because in some cases there are projects that only spread the word without doing anything, what I mean here is that they do not work according to what they said. So, make sure they really do it.

Avoid any token pool less than $1m .they are worthless at the end.
Be careful of newbie bounty manager.

I have millions of worthless token in my wallet I worked hard for it, don't waste your time be careful.. I love you Son

Thats why some reputed Manager don't accept token payments. They only accept btc as a payments.this is true nowdays its really hard to find good bounty. Sometimes bounty Manager scamed people. So next time before joining any bounty campaign check the Manager.yahoo is one of the reputed manager in bitcointalk and i love to join his bounty campaign but it's really hard to take a space in his bounty.

Yahoo now handles a lot of gambling bounties with BTC paid and no longer manages ICO bounties.
And absolutely we have to really avoid allocating with a $ 1 million bounty reward that is the same as there is no price, Seeing the bounty manager is also very important because the Manager has his own analysis before launching the bounty.

Yeah $1 million is not enough if the coin price is lower than ico price. I saw many ico whou reserved more tha that but finally they can't even reach the ico price. I have so many coins,if i calculate with ico price then it will be thousand of dollars but in reality the price is lesd than 20$.i got a coin which ico price is 0.01$ but now the coin is not traded any exchangers.

Apart from doing our own research and verification about the development team we also need to consider who is managing the bounty as there are some of the seasoned bounty managers like Yahoo who don't randomly accept to work for a project without surety that it's legit. But sometime we fall for the marketing tactics wherein they mention millions as rewards. I think we should blame our self if we still make mistake while selecting bounty projects as we have a bitter experience from the past.

Things like that can not be avoided, we can be deceived by them because their project is truly original but the fact is fraud, therefore if you want to join such a project you must first analyze from the whitepaper, team and roadmap, so You are not fooled again.

There are so many approaches where you can avoid scam bug bounty-

If someone is asking money for bounty while joining then just ignore it because your money can't be refunded once it has left from your wallet.
If the bounty project isn't fake they never ask you your wallet private key.
It is good to use some other email while joining bounty not the original one and also provide some unique password for that.
Use the crypto wallet which has no balance so that if someone wants to hack they can't do.
Do research about the website who is behind the bug bounty program.
So always research from your side so that your crypto will be safe.

What is the purpose of checking the project continously? Because usually problems arise when ICO is over and bounty hunters have finished their work.

That's true, even we are checking their telegram every day and their team very active it's not enough to judge if this project will pay bounty hunter. Example, Aitheon, their team very active on the telegram, but until today they are not paying bounty hunters. Most dev teams refuse to use escrow services to pay bounty hunter, or bounty manager doesn't care about it. So, bounty hunter always meets same problem, dev team late to pay bounty hunter or even scamming bounty hunter.

Not necessarily. Sometimes, a bounty manager creates a new alt to make sure if the project starts exit scamming, it won't spoil their reputation.

If this happens it will be very difficult to choose a manager that can be trusted, there are still mwho can be trusted but only a few.

sad. bad true.
in 2017 i've been caught in the same scum, instead of 300$ I've got around 70$. Lucky for me it was for a month, not for three month as in your case and yet the bounty were 70$ it is still not bad.
I think best way now to see bounty is ready to pay fix payment per post in fiat or btc and payment every week.. if they miss a week, then you can drop this bounty..
best of luck, man!

Well, we can't say it's a totally scam as they already paid you for your work. The thing you must understand is some ICOs these days didn't raised enough fund to compensate all of your hard work. So the result, they cut the amount you were supposed to receive. You're lucky tho. Some scam bounty didn't pay participants at all. About the bounty that pays BTC or Fiat. It's hard to get in to that bounty since they accept only limited participants. But yeah, it's a sure profit. If you compare bounty on Bitcoin marketplace to altcoins marketplace, the altcoins marketplace provides you more opportunities than Bitcoin marketplace. Just a lot of scammers. So join at your own risk.

Poor bounty hunters, they spend a lot of time and effort working for scammers!

The only way for this to stop is if hunters stop participating in shady projects and learn their lesson. Sadly, it's not that easy. I've shared a lot of job opportunities to them, but they still hope they can earn a lot from bounty hunting, so they turned down the offer.

If they don't stop, then garbage projects with whitepaper can have free marketing as many as they want.

Avoid any token pool less than $1m

During my early days on the forum, I participated in bounty campaigns(ICO) with a far higher allocation than the one above and the outcome wasn't any different from the ones with lesser token pool.
I think the campaigns who embellish their projects with all this sort of attractive rewards via their tokens are actually the ones to stay away from, they know people are greedy, and what to earn without even understanding how the tokens would work or be useful, so they can attract them with a large bounty pool, either ending up duping the investors or giving out tokens that would be of no use to all who participated in the campaign.

BTC campaigns with good campaign managers are the sort of campaigns user ought to aim to be in, though this must not derail their purpose for being on the forum.

Bounty pool doesn't describe how much you will got when convert to BTC. Problem that occur because the bounty prize is not in escrow hands, bounty hunters should ask this not just tempted by large bounty pool.

To avoid such waste of time and efforts. Just join bounty projects that are managed by reputable bounty managers here. So you can assure that you're gonna get paid. Bounties here are really hard to tell whether they're scam or good project. Sometimes even it's a good project they are not giving what they're suppose to to give because they didn't raised enough funds to pay bounty participants. You better study the project first before joining. Some concerned members helping us to that but not always. They immediately tag negative trust to them so we will know if the project is just a scam.

It's so similar to what I have been through and hundreds of users like us who have suffered and lost their precious time because of greedy developers and scammers who don't want bounty hunters to earn anything and just look at bounty hunters as a mere marketing tool to advertise the project without any value for our time. It's time people are reluctant to join any bounty because of bad name incurred during last 18 months.

Nobody knows when the altcoin season will start. Been a bounty hunter is never easy but you gat to keep pushing, even though you see no good result

Most of the members of the forum are into having an income, be it looking for tips about how to trade or bounty hunting, they are into the money that they will get. And for them not to be scammed by fake campaigns, they should open their eyes wide open and watch out for red flags that might be seen to every promising campaign that also comes to the point that it was unrealistic. Their common sense will save themselves.

Research hard, keep your eyes on their updates and activities, if everything seems good, then you may join there, not before.

We all now aware and we all know that there were lots of scams, but, some people choose to take risk, so this is the big problem, they believe in flower words that the projects team are promising without analyzing if that will be worth investing, or worth to invest your time. We should be mature enough, we can have everything that we need to investigate if they are worth or not, don't just after the rewards or returns.

I'm sorry to tell to you this dude but that is the risk you need to take if you want to earn something in a bounty project. ICO devs are smart and their way to keep the cost down while their project is being marketed in the industry is giving stakes of the project itself to bounty participants like you, they aren't really doing anything illegal here since they didn't really put a dollar value or fixed value onto their tokens before you join in, they just promised you to earn a piece of their project and that's all there is. So the only way to counter this really is by doing a deeper research about the project whether if it has a promising future or not so that you won't waste your time on participating bounties that have worthless coins being offered in the forum.

Alas, this is not news. Many of us have accumulated a lot of trash on our wallets in the form of tokens from the bounty. Most likely they will remain worthless numbers on our wallets.
However, this does not mean that there were no normal projects for which it was not worth wasting your time.
Learn to select and analyze correctly and perhaps this will allow you to get a place in a good project.

Again, this dilemma has been with us since 2018 and I don't know why people still prefer to join bounties. I know that 2017 is a boom, but ever since we enter this bear market, it's a rude awaking for everyone specially for those hunters who think that they can still make a lot of money and didn't understand the business flow of the ecosystem. And then you will hear them bitch around the community, and yes, its sad but true. And besides more than 90% are just scams, so just stay away and look for other ways to earn BTC only.

Lately the payments from the bounty campaign have been rather disappointing. But I'm sure the bounty manager also doesn't want this to happen to bounty hunters. Because the allocation given has been agreed by both parties between the bounty manager and the project representative. However, if the price problems that arise do not match our expectations, it is not their fault. Because if the token is already listed in the market, the market will determine how valuable their tokens are. This can also be seen from how much they succeeded in selling their tokens at the ICO stage.

It's not true, bounty allocation has been settled only from dev side. Bounty manager has nothing to do with the bounty, unless the dev have agreement if BM who will distribute the token later after campaign ends, which rarely happened, ussually the dev who distribute the bounty to all participants. That's why BM can't guarantee the project will be successful or not, since their main job is only maintaining post quality and other jobs from their bounty participants.

Again, this dilemma has been with us since 2018 and I don't know why people still prefer to join bounties. I know that 2017 is a boom, but ever since we enter this bear market, it's a rude awaking for everyone specially for those hunters who think that they can still make a lot of money and didn't understand the business flow of the ecosystem. And then you will hear them bitch around the community, and yes, its sad but true. And besides more than 90% are just scams, so just stay away and look for other ways to earn BTC only.

It is very true. I have been participating in bounties for 3 years but lets say I participated in 100 bounties, only 30-40 of them actually paid. Some paid but not the same amount the promised, some paid but did not even list on exchange. I advice you to join social mining to get the reward you deserve.

majority of bounty are scam they take months of your hard work and give you a worthless token, sometimes you work 3moths just to get 9m token worth $2. They are using you to enrich their selves it's called 21st century slavery.
Avoid any token pool less than $1m .they are worthless at the end.

You are not the one posting this kind of topic it's the same number like when Bitcoin is going up and down, and yet people still joined the bounty campaign, even if they already have hundreds of worthless token in their wallet, the temptation is always there, because we never know what each coin will present after they finish their ICO.

Main reason why i do leave with bounty hunting due on receiving pennies for your how many months work.It isnt really that
easy to find the best project even you thought that they are good neither you are comparing their total allocations it would be just
still the same.There are even projects which you do look legit but in the end they do end up scam and you do able to see some shit projects
but in the end they had been listed on good exchangers thats why you would really had that confusion.

Lately the payments from the bounty campaign have been rather disappointing. But I'm sure the bounty manager also doesn't want this to happen to bounty hunters. Because the allocation given has been agreed by both parties between the bounty manager and the project representative. However, if the price problems that arise do not match our expectations, it is not their fault. Because if the token is already listed in the market, the market will determine how valuable their tokens are. This can also be seen from how much they succeeded in selling their tokens at the ICO stage.

As we know participating on bounties from new project and pay with their token/coin, usually will wasted our time if their token/coin can't be sold. But, this is part of bounty jobs. If you don't want to waste your times from bounty, make a research about it. Choose any bounty that you think very potential based on your research. If you can't find something wrong, you can join. Or, try to increase your levels for this forum, and join project pay in BTC for their Bounty participants.

You should practice what you preach. At one side you are saying bounty is useless and convincing people to stay away from it but on the other hand you are yourself applying for the bounties.

You applied in two bounties today

Do you think higher allocations will have any difference?

Yeah, even the higher pool bounty will do the same.

They give high stakes reward for each participant but that won't change the fact that they have no assurance that the value will be that much.

but where the problem is, it's in the fact that majority of these ico or IEO projects conducting bounties does not have the money to pay in Btc, they might not meet up to soft or hard cap, so where will they get the money from, instead they send their tokens which is worthless most time to participants

It is the risky part of joining new projects, so we must need to examine whether the project is capable to reach even softcap, but at this rate it's really hard to do even for projects that are convincing since no big investors are willing to risk nowadays. Joining in existing project with names or already listed in an exchange and projects that are able to allot budget weekly or monthly thru btc is much better at this time until the market isn't performing well and until scammy project exist.

Stop joining bounty campaign that promises a huge amount of bounty allocation because they are surely scam. Most of the legit IEO or ICO don't the bounty campaigns anymore since before they start the project. They have already private investors to ensure the project. Sadly when I check the altcoin section. I think I saw on less than project that seems legit bounty campaign which not guarantee that there token value will be high when list on exchange.

For the mean time. Try to avoid joining on bounty campaigns or join only on bounty campaigns that manage by experienced bounty manager. In this way the risk to join on scam project will be minimize.

Well, I also agree with this opinion. sometimes a project runs long enough, and quite a lot of funds are collected. however, the results provided are not the same. Well, this made quite a lot of investors switch from investments like that. however, not all projects are like that. true, by seeing who is the manager can also be an important point.

but the thing to remember is that it is also a risk for bounty hunters who follow bounties on a project.

Thank you for sharing your experience and warning others. But objectively i can't blame ICOs to be scam to explain my waste time promoting an etopic idea, not even a real product. Bounty hunters should have conscience that they are sharing the risk with investors.
A bounty hunter may spend hard efforts but awarded nothing if:
- the project is a scam (most cases)
- the project didn't reach the intended cap.
- they failed to pass KYC
- the token is listed in a restricted centralized exchange
- ...
- ...
And at best case he will sold a million token reward (as promised) for 3 dollars. Just forget about bounty paiements, it was a bubble happened two years ago and we had take the lesson. Stop doing bounties for shitcoins and the number of scams will eventually decrease.

BTC to the MOON in 2019

I do have the same but I still feel happy with what I earn last 2017, but 2nd half of 2018 and onward, there is not good bounty anymore.
Though I was not anymore victim of scams, but due to the rampant scam in the past, the market was fully affected, now ICO can't survive and bounty is just a waste of time.

However, I am not suggesting you to stop because with proper research, you'll surely find a bounty that will pay you a good amount at a good value, and let's hope the market will also recover so the possibility to earn will increase.

Do you think higher allocations will have any difference?

Those prices are based on the project's ICO price and that won't determine its future market price.

Take that experience as a lesson and think of alternative ways to earn. The hype of doing bounties today is over.

I think best way now to see bounty is ready to pay fix payment per post in fiat or btc and payment every week.. if they miss a week, then you can drop this bounty..

This is the best idea if a bounty is ready to pay in Btc payment, but where the problem is, it's in the fact that majority of these ico or IEO projects conducting bounties does not have the money to pay in Btc, they might not meet up to soft or hard cap, so where will they get the money from, instead they send their tokens which is worthless most time to participants

in 2017 i've been caught in the same scum, instead of 300$ I've got around 70$. Lucky for me it was for a month, not for three month as in your case and yet the bounty were 70$ it is still not bad.
