Topic: Closings bountyhive? (Read 900 times)

Why are you even wasting time with bounties advertising fake projects that will pay you in their useless tokens that have no market value at the time? You are only given the tokens after a long time in the market, most especially after the dump.

Most of the projects advertised have no future or clear goal, vision, or roadmap.

I have just checked the website of bountyhive. And it seems that they are not accepting new bounty hunters anymore. I believe the reason is some people are doing it as a job, they create multiple social media accounts to do bounties.

So here's an update of what's coming in the next release of HYVE: NEXT RELEASE

Hello guys, I'm not sure if anyone is ever going to read this since it's been more than 3 years but I just found this topic and I genuinely wanted to give a full update on everything that happened since then.

First of all, while we have kept the Bountyhive.io website up and will be keeping it up most likely indefinitely, we have done so as a memory because we had a lot of fun building that and a lot of cool people we've met during our time building the platform. The platform will not be moving forward as it is, but it has been replaced by something which we think is considerably better.

Second of all, to answer some of the comments in this previous thread (I know it's been 3 years but I just saw this). You were right, over time the quality of projects reduced. And honestly you guys have no idea how much we've fought to protect users because of this. If anyone still remembers Kora Network, they literally refused to pay the bounty and we spent about $20K on a PR campaign all over the internet, published all of it, records etc etc and then they tried to pay us less etc and we refused entirely until they paid out the entire bounty and we paid that to users.

Anyway, I'm here to say that while we did wind Bountyhive down, we only did that because we also realised some of the critique that we were often getting and wanted to build something cooler. And we did just that I think. We built HYVE. HYVE was launched in ±Oct 2020. Since then it's been listed on exchanges like Kucoin, Gate, MEXC, Bittrex etc, and we've gone through several platform interactions and are still updating it constantly.

HYVE is as you might have guessed, a better version of Bountyhive. First of all, everything is escrowed through smart-contracts. Second of all, there are no untradeable tokens currently being used on HYVE, nor do we plan on doing so in the future. HYVE only accepts about ±70 tokens as payment methods for tasks/jobs and offers right now but we're trying to quickly add support for all major tokens, i.e. top 500. We also support 4 blockchains: ETH, BSC, Polygon and Fantom. Soon we will add a 5th one. This means you can create a task/job/offer etc on each one of those chains individually as we've deployed our smart-contract infra on all of them.

To be perfectly honest, there's still an incredible amount of work left to be done even with HYVE, we're now working on v3 of the app which should be live in ±6-8 months and will include a ton of new things including POAP certificates and accreditations, reviews, a better chat system, lower fees, more chains, more tokens, a simplified UI and some other stuff as well.

Anyway I honestly just wanted to come here and say I'm really happy that Bountyhive got to help some people and I am genuinely sorry that some of you were disappointed with the quality of the projects towards the end, we were too and that is the reason why we decided to close things down as we figured it was the only reasonable thing to do. But we have built something better, which should at least to a large extent not be plagued by those same type of issues.

For now you cannot do bounties per-se yet on HYVE but we are already working on the implementation for this, it's just that the way a bounty works is slightly harder to achieve on-chain because of the large number of transactions involved & fees, but we'll make it work!

Anyway, check HYVE out and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it: website and app

   I never liked Bountyhive site! I give advantage to managers here on forum, now after so much time we
can say it's a traditional way of doing bounties.
   There are couple sites focused on airdrops! I tried one of them and after two weeks and many airdrops I
decided to not go there anymore! Waste of time and energy is my experience.
   I believe there are people who have profitable experience with these sites, but I am not one of them!

Bounty hive people (or founders rather) seem to still be active and if you see their website it has been recently updated,,, but otherwise I cannot see how they can survive in these days with this kind of market. ICOs are still popular but they do not like the old style of bounty hunters and the bad quality of those who choose bounty hive,,, what do you think?

So any update about Bountyhive?

I tried bountyhive, I tried to participate in social network bounty and after couple months I didn`t get anything for my work. I tried to speak with their support, I send couple mails, I contacted them on telegram. Except their words how they will see what`s there all about they didn`t do nothing to help me. I hate when some service have shitty support, that affect my experience and my opinion about that service. I will never use them again, even they turn to be one of the best services. Maybe some people have good experience with bountyhive, but I`m not one of them, use them at your own risk.

From what i see is they do that because they can accept a lot of platform of ICOs and not only Ethereum token. Maybe with that it is good because there are more option of project and we wouldn't confused anymore on how input wallet after bounty end for other platform beside Ethereum.

Many bounty hunters used their service, not me, it was too populated and I have heard hunters got lower rewards because there have been too many of them. Their thread is not active and I can't find whether they manage new projects and they are accused for scam, maybe they are closing doors.

Well you do have the point though which is valid because if things are slowly trying to pack up like dead links and channels are already unavailable then you can already presume that they are already on the verge of closing up their platform.So far there are still some projects are listed and running so i cant point out if they are actually had the plans or just planning to shut off directly one day without any proper warnings or alerts?

maybe this is a sign that bountyhive will be closing soon, because there is no reason that they closed all their social media and now the telegram chat group is not very active

I can't see the chat group active now and it's not allowed to post messages in the chat group. I couldn't contact Silviu and Andy on telegram too regarding Refine Medium bounty so I contacted them on the website and got a reply so they are active but it's getting fishy to have closed down the chat group. Is bountyhive going to close down soon?

its not rumor i think because you already said that thier social media accounts were closing   . that might be a sign of thier exit  . you know there were other simillar projects that done simillar things were they dont give a proper announcement but they are only quite and never come back  or maybe bounty hive was only busy and cant post updates for a while . who knows  ? best thing you can do is to wait and dont loose hope if you really love and support them

Their medium doesnt have any updates https://medium.com/bountyhive/updates/home Same goes for their Reddit and Facebook and their Twitter account is invalid.
So its still unclear about closure in regards to other new projects.So we do need some clarification to this one and if we dont get any sufficient proofs then this
kind of post is totally basing up with rumors.

I have already asked him about the Official social media closing issue. But did not get any answer yet. That means he did not see my text yet. When I will get a word by him I will update. Plz, Don't ask me again to ask further questions. Thanks

Edit: You guys can find an update on bountyhive telegram channel: https://t.me/bountyhiveio/164

It is just routine, you need those wallets to get tokens that are based on those blockchains. Bountyhive has not been very successful in hosting quality project lately- personal observation and rewards has in many cased be worthless. Hope things turn around pretty soon.

After reading the above whatsApp message i think they made the right decision, bountyhive is a platform that serve a number of project and have quite a number of hunters that do bounty for them, it will be detriment to hunters if they continue to support project that will yield nothing at the end of it all, since there are only few project in the market that are genuine it is better to apply caution while selecting, too bad this high rate of bad project is realy affecting a lot of platforms, i hope things will turn around soon.

hope bountyhive will soon add quality projects again. indeed this year quite a lot of not-so-good projects were added to the bountyhive site. maybe they changed the telegram to avoid anger from the members who wrongly joined the project.

I have participated in several projects of bountyhive, and the results have been really satisfying. so I was calm enough to see this information, and hope that the bountyhive returns.

It is just an update so that more blockchains can work here. Nothing to worry about. Yes, they had a number of failed projects  but this year but, I have heard that they had pretty decent amount of rewards for many bounty hunters. So no need to stress it buddy.
