To all crypto bounty hunters who can hardly relate:

Situation: ICO started their main sale and will last 2 months and offers bounty program. ICO price was $0.5.
Bounty Hunter: I will join their signature campaign! Let’s do this!

After 1 month....

Admin: We decided to pause the campaign because our legal advisor suggests for our product to be fully compliant with the country’s regulations.
Bounty Hunter: (facepalm)

After 1 month....

Admin: Good news bounty hunters! We will now resume our bounty campaign. Since ICO was extended for a month, the same goes to our bounty campaign. Happy bounty hunting!
Bounty Hunter: Yippee!!!

After 1 month (one day before the ICO ends)....

Admin edits the ICO countdown timer and replied: Due to overwhelming demand, we decided to extend the ICO to another 2 months!
Bounty Hunter: Whaaaaat??? (But decides to continue the signature campaign).

After 2 months....

Admin: Congrats bounty hunters! Our ICO is successful! Here’s the final spreadsheet!
Bounty hunter looks at the spreadsheet and replied: 1,000 stakes for me! Yippee! I’m excited for my tokens to be distributed.
Admin: Good for you! We will distribute the tokens within 2 weeks!
Bounty Hunter: All right! My hardwork finally pays off in 2 weeks! Can’t wait!

After 2 weeks....

Admin: I received an advise from our legal advisor that bounty hunters must complete KYC process. Since we have an influx of bounty hunters, approving your KYC might take days to weeks.
Bounty Hunter: (sigh) Oh well, it’s better than nothing. I’ll just do it anyway. (Logs in to site and submits KYC verification).

After 3 weeks....

Bounty Hunter receives an email that his KYC was approved and was excited, however.....
Admin: We would like to congratulate those bounty hunters who have passed their KYC. Unfortunately, we had a meeting with the development team. It has come to a conclusion that our team voted for bounty hunter tokens to be locked and will be distributed after 6 months to avoid massive dumping in the exchange.
Bounty Hunter: Admin I HATE YOU!!!!

After 6 months....

Admin: Bounty hunter tokens are now unlocked. You can now transfer your tokens from the dashboard to your ETH wallet. Thank you!

Bounty hunter transfers his tokens to his ETH wallet. After successfully transferred, he goes to Etherdelta exchange where he can trade his token to BTC or ETH. Unfortunately, the token’s buying orders are empty. Only selling orders appear with the lowest bid at $0.001 per token.

Bounty hunter: F*** you admin!!!!! My efforts are wasted coz’ they’re worth shitcoins!!!!
Admin: (blocks bounty hunter from Telegram channel).

Trust me guys, I’ve been here before. Are you too? 😂🤣😅

You are really on point. This and more we face everyday, there is a bounty that is currently in it's 48th or 52nd week I think (name withheld). I can only imagine what the hunters are going through and how dey will feel if the project doesn't end well. I'm glad I joined just d content campaign. I'm not that patient.

The most annoying aspect is how hunters are being evicted from their groups without any second thought. I happened to me just last week after waiting for 6 months

Take my merit, dude Grin

It's just a wonderful, the most exact, widespread, short and true story about an average bounty campaign. I experienced it a few times in the beginning of 2018 and I've decided to quit for a while. We'll see what we'll get now in 2019))

Thank you for that dude. Appreciated it much.

It would be a lot of worse when a bounty program has Phase 2, Phase 3, etc., that would make us wait for a very, very, very, very, very long time. Just another common delaying tactic and I've experienced that before.

It hurts us a lot after spending months of hardwork and in the end we get zero to a few bucks for all tokens that we get.

I'm not a bounty hunter but it's for sure the problem of most when you have felt each others frustration. After waiting for a long time and wanted to see on how much you made with that token, in the end you'll just say nothing because you are tired already.

Quote from: meanwords on February 08, 2019, 10:32:38 AM

Those projects are getting free advertisement by paying us tokens that don't have any value that they've created from the air at all. The humor here is good mate. Super relatable. Grin

That's what they really do, they advertise and will pay the people with their tokens. And from the beginning they had plan to delay all of those payments and lock the BH's tokens so it won't be dumped quickly.

This ain't shit man. The worst bounty I participated in was opporty. Bounty run for 6 months and it took them a year to complete ico--but not exactly. The team decided to just list the token in an unknown exchange with an unreasonably strict kyc. Moreover, the bounty tokens are locked for a year.

dude i read your whole story and can't stop laughing, it's a true fact that all of thoose happened to mostly hunter here and i was one of them, after a few month waiting then they said token will be distributed every three month and it was 4 phase so 1 year in total. and it's like you said the token become worthless when it come to my wallet.
to prevent this from hapening BM should clarify to ICO dev about KYC is it needed for hunter or not and if needed then made it in the start of bounty.
also budget for bounty hunter must be put on trusted escrow agent and be released after bounty finished.

Hahaha, that's exactly what bounty hunters are experiencing in the cryptocurrency sphere,sometimes even when the token is trading a good price in an exchange bounty hunters tokens will be locked for sometimes to be release when the price is down.Too bad!

That's why i quit from bounty activities few months ago. I understand that the situation is not so ideal for everyone but i just demand that our rights to be fullfilled as we fullfilled our tasks. Please dear developers, be fair. Everytime you pending the payment to the people who helped you promote your project, you just killed your project and your own credibilities. It would be a lot better if u pay in btc, eth, or other coins if you can't put your own on. Whatever your efforts but just be respectful upon the efforts people did to you.

Most of the time, they don't care about the welfare of the bounty hunters. It is also the reason why I stopped joining those programs. Up until now, I have eth tokens sitting in my MEW, without any of value at the moment. One perfect example in my case, joined for a sig campaign for 22 weeks last year (don't want to mention the project) and now I can't sell the tokens that I received because it's worthless. I will pay the gas fee for getting not even $2 . . That's terrible! Roll Eyes

Better earn a lil bit, at least you know you have something at hand at the end of the week. I hope people will stop joining such campaigns because these projects made us fool of ourselves.

Wow, exactly the way it does plan out, bounties in most cases are not worth the stress now. They keep blaming bounty hunters for dumping a project, why won't they dump when they are treated badly.
Respect for this write up.

Let me make it clear to you. Never ever believe that tokens are been dump by bounty hunters and airdrop owners. it is a big fact lie.

This is true story for most of the ICOs now a days, they keep on extending their token sales date as many ICOs are not able to reach even softcap within a given time frame.Investors are not investing in ICOs due to lots of scams, after launch on an exchange prices of most of the tokens decreases rapidly now a days even when bounty tokens are not distributed. Bounty hunters need to study project whitepaper thoroughly before joining any project, only a good project can payoff good amount.

I really believe many bounty hunter has ever experience this kind of thing. I had ever experience too. it's truly painful, but i have to forget about it and move forward, regretting things won't solve any problem, i prefer to focus on what in the future.

This is a true and exciting story for bounty hunters. I went through all the stages in your story, and I feel funny instead of angry again. I think the newbie after reading this story will give up participating in new campaigns

Yeah i have experienced the same especially last year or so has been exactly like this for most of the campaigns and i think it is unethical because teams are just exploiting the bounty hunters i have even seen bounty hunters being insulted by the team members after the ico and bounty campiagn is over which is condemnable act.

Good report. I can personally relate to this as I been a very avid bounty campaign participant. It is frustrating that after all those hard work you exerted in a bounty campaign, you realized you won't be receiving rewards. That is why I have limited myself in joining bounty and concentrated in a more rewarding crypto activity like trading.

Yes, indeed, the last time everything is happening like this. For almost the whole of 2018, I could not get anything for the signature (postponement, cancellation of the project, etc.).
