1. Many bounties won't pay
It is true that many bounties don't pay the bounty hunters for several crucial reasons. But they are not the bounties paid in BTC, but mostly bounties paid in new altcoins. Some reasons that make no payments are:
1. Failed to reach softcap/hardcap, so the team members stop the project. (less interest from investors)
2. The projects are scams, so the team members suddenly disappeared.
3. The token values of the new projects have almost zero values on the exchanges. This is also the same as no payment for me.
You are absolutely right with the point you have dropped there. There are really lots of problems that the project can encounter before, during and after the development or producing it. It is true that there are still many projects that are intentionally scamming other people making some promises that they will not do in the future. Some projects don't really want the project to fail, because sometimes they are doing their part but when the token sale starts, there are no investors want to give some support even if that particular project is good, maybe they have their own reason for that.
To all newbies or new comers, here are few advice for you guys if you want to start promoting bounties
1. Many bounties won't pay
Its a real fact that some might not want to accept for one reason or the other, new projects aren't that attractive to investors anymore so be ready for the worst.
2. Bounties are still Profitable
Ignore whatever bounty hunters are saying, yes many projects aren't paying but still some are paying, experience of a bounty hunter is different from one another, some bounty hunters still find it hard to learn from their mistakes
Remember that even good projects that looks promising can still fail but here is what I want you to hold on to, a single bounty project can cover for all your losses, what I meant is 1 project can give you biggest profits even when you've promoted 10 projects that gives nothing, this is why its called BOUNTY.
I agree. So we must stop generalizing that all bounties are failure and not worthy because there are still existing bounty projects that are good and payable for the promotion works you did for them. It is also true that we bounty hunters do have different experiences on bounty projects we got engaged with so it will still be best to discover it by your ownself and do not always believe into the sayings of other bounty hunters. But still always get into precautionary measures to avoid unexpected experience to come when you are into working with any bounty projects. Bounties are still that worthy this days, you just need to seek and work hard for you to be able to get into a profitable and worthy bounty.
Indeed, as of now, there are still bounty campaigns that are being produced but if you think of it, the market is not that good, maybe that is the reason why investors are not risking their money even if that particular project is awesome, there are some things that investors will consider because they are risking their own money. Maybe we, as a bounty hunter, we should still support upcoming project to gain more investors.
