Well its not easy to be a bounty manager even for altcoins or paid in weekly. By doing so, you need some skills and patience and also knowledge herr on forum. For example in signature campaign, how would you check if the participants are well versed or not spamming. Or on social media if they are real or legit users. Many things are needed in order to be at that position. So Im sure they well deserved those. For joining campaign with little budget or small compensation, I think it will depend on the user if he wanted to join or not so its not mandatory.

Bounty hunting is not an occupation, any one who sees bounty hunting as a job opportunity will get disappointed several times because they will not get paid up to their expectations, and they can even get paid with some shitcoins that will never be listed on any exchange. Although the Signature Campaign is paying participants in Bitcoin up to $300 per week, which is three times the amount of the minimum wage in some countries, that should not still give the impression that the Signature Campaign is a full-time occupation. Most of this campaign can end any day, or the person can even get kicked out of Signature at any time, and if they are only relying on the Signature Campaign, things are really going to be difficult for them.


About this, bounty managers cannot really tell if a project can be successful or not; sometimes it's even the kind of exposure that bounty hunters give some of those projects that makes them successful, unless for a project the team is very slow with the thought to scamming investors.

Don't be one sided.

Managers are also taking the risk and pain if the project runs away after being successful or if they become unsuccessful. There could be a mutual agreement from them, who knows.. we don't know.

But don't say that it's just only them that making money out of the projects that they manage. We don't even know if they're paid upfront and the management just wants to ask them for their patience but they'll pay them later on.

If you think bounty is just a waste of time, just don't do it and find something else to work where your time is valued.

Sad thing is those hunters are underpaid but instead of not participating in it to show a protest, they in fact are using multiple accounts to cope with the low payment that they can potentially receive. It is the same from all other freelancing jobs in the internet, projects always want to get the cheapest as they are offering the same services. They are obviously being exploited but yeah we can't blame them since it's a repeated job and the money they can get maybe big enough depending on their country.

Don't let yourself be undervalued, just my 2cents.

It's not even the budget, so many bounty projects now are a total waste of time, The project for you to receive their token should reach their soft cap if they cannot they will abandon the project or stop it, Some projects keep accepting participants because the more participants, they can fully maximize the promotion so you end getting pennies and the worse that I experience is it took me months before I received my shares and by that time the token has no value anymore.

Bounty today is very different from the one we had several years ago, there are good and innovative projects that reward their participants handsomely and the token when it hits the market has a good price, I earned $1k alone on one bounty for a month of campaign.

If you think it's a wasting time to join a bounty, why you're still participating in one of bounty? take a look with the signature you wore.

If you think it's a wasting time to become a bounty hunter, why you're not start to become a campaign manager?

I really hate when people are complaining about their jobs, government etc that you can't control, if you get paid less, then learn a new skill that will make you able to get paid higher.

No matter how good a bounty manager is, the outcome of the project is not on his hands.

This is why when they are posting a bounty program on behalf of the company or project, they would always disclose about the risks as well as not being associated with them by any means necessary.

It is already a done deal where bounty managers get compensated from the project in running a bounty program. To be honest, being a bounty manager is very stressful work especially in handling multiple projects.

However, I think the bounty managers must also exercise due diligence in accepting projects (especially with ANON teams, faulty smat contracts, low rating audits, etc.) because it clearly affects their reputation and integrity.

I was a bounty hunter before and all I could say is that good projects are like finding a needle in a stack of hay.
I've actually earned good money during the ICO days and that's because that was the hype at that time. I made like let's say $4000 or somewhere higher than that number. But, out of like 20-30 projects that I joined in, only 3 or 4 paid well enough to say bounty hunting is profitable.
True, that's there's less work but when you have the feeling that they might not pay makes it stressful and gives you the idea to quit it. The only problem is, that they won't pay unless you finish the soft cap or the hard cap timeline.
As of today, I don't join such projects anymore because of that inconsistency in paying up. The good thing is I earned money from my last bounty job which I think was years ago.

Now look at the performance of trusted Bounty Managers such as Hhampuz, Roysee, Yahoo, etc. which I cannot mention one by one. They have done their job well and provided the best campaign that they have researched. There are many other bounty campaigns that are held by their own project managers. Most of them are social media bounties, videos and articles. But I prefer to write articles because the allocation is bigger and the task is done only once. Compared to having to do social media bounty work that has to be done every day and has a small allocation. Moreover, it will affect the reputation of our account because there is a lot of spam being carried out. The higher the reputation and account level, there will be more decent jobs with commensurate pay, so increase the quality of the account to get work that is worth it.

Then sometimes they are valuating the bounty in terms of token sale price, yet the presale price is -90%, or fraction that's given away to dump is just too large for markets to handle.
And always check how high they are valuating the tokensale in terms of marketcap.
It doesn't make any sense to work with something that already has too high marketcap from the start. Value can only drop.

Learn what sustainable tokenomics have been in the past and always check tokenomics.

Sometimes they are even saying that they pay in ETH, BUSD or USDT, but only if after the sale after they collect the money. Which is a blatant obvious lie to anyone who has been here before.

Because:
A: bounty managers don't have the escrow money that token sale hasn't raised yet. And we should trust that team would pay if they raised enough money.
B: By doing this, team is treating you as a gullible fool. That doesn't give a good sign about the company values or future in general.
C: They most likely don't raise enough and you end up working for nothing.

And obviously, always choose a reputable bounty manager.

If everyone stops advertising at $10-$50 for the Bounty campaigns, then project owners will be forced to increase the money allocated to the advertising campaign, but I see that everyone is motivated to advertise either by creating more alternative accounts or being satisfied with less than what your posts/tweets/posts deserve, so it is illogical to accuse them of greed. There are many people who are able to perform the same work at half the price. Imagine yourself in the market and finding two products, one of which is good and priced at $10, and the other is acceptable and priced at $5, so you will pay for the acceptable one. The beginning of the solution to this problem comes from people who want to join the advertisement. They must know that they are being exploited.

The first lines of the post caused me some bewilderment; I thought that the OP decided to do advertising to participate in the bounty. But then I realized what the OP was leading to. Another point is important: Bounty hunters read only the first lines. "Earn a bounty." Many people still believe in it. But don't call what hunters do work. And also, do not expect that today there are people participating in such bounties with a single account. Imagine what kind of millionaires the hunters would be if they were paid the promised amounts.
What can be said in summary? Many hunters are not sure that they will be paid what they were promised; nevertheless, they participate in groups almost everywhere. Hope for quantity without quality lives to this day.
Why blame managers for getting their money because no one forces people to advertise different shitcoins? Give them freedom of choice, and do not defend or pity them. If there are no brains in the head, then they will not appear. Some people just need these lessons.

I would say it's not the fault of a bounty manager it depends on the bounty hunter whether to take on a bounty or not. As we all know, there's no obligation to do so, and nowadays, bounties tend to offer relatively low rewards. In some bounties, they may advertise a substantial amount for distribution, but when the coin is listed, it becomes evident that only a small amount has been received. The budgets mentioned for bounties are often deceptive because, in reality, they don't hold that much value until the listing occurs. However, if you actively participate in activities like article writing, creating YouTube videos, or engaging in signature campaigns, you can hope for a more substantial reward. Otherwise, there's no point in pursuing them and lastly, we can not compare ourselves with the bounty manager as we know our role is different from the BM.

You can add research on how many bounty participants participate in that type of bounty. Then you can calculate the total budget allocation and divide it by the number of participants. So from the start you can consider whether to participate in the bounty or not.

As @Adbitco has said, you can try your luck in bounty campaigns that are paid with BTC. Even though it is very difficult to get accepted, you can try to find merit and improve the quality of your post.

Most times is not the cause of the bounty managers but the cause of their clients because when they promised to allocate a huge amount of their tokens to the campaign with some certain amount. Let say project owners decided to give out $50k worth of their tokens using their listing price and when they list lower than it should be then the price will surely drop 50k to either 10k or 15k meanwhile participants already hoped to be paid about 50k worth in dollars.

What do you do at this point, they distributes peanuts to the hunters which at the beginning was said to paid some certain amount but leaving them with just $5 after having to spend 4 weeks or 8 weeks of their consistent hard works., That's why you are as a participant you must learn to chose some part of the campaign you wished to enroll instead of wasting your time to participate all. Let say you can get involved with their signature and content creation I think these allocations are mostly higher than the rest.

Between, there are some sets of rules given by bounty managers which you have to decide within yourself before joining the campaign, by abiding to those rules you have agreed to accept any changes be it low budget and low payment, the bounty manager doesn't have the Will power to increase allocation in their description all less they write to their clients for increase in allocation due to the significant dropped in their token prices (this is only possible if the rewards are not yet distributed to participants), any rewards that is already sent out can not be requested for increase at any point.

However, why not build yourself to participate in btc paid signature campaign and leave bounty since they are not reliable. I won't encourage you to keep doing bounty hunter rather put more efforts in your contribution to enable you enough merits to apply in btc paid signature campaign.

I think this question has been before, so if you don't mind I would want you to lock this thread because there are series of topics that relates to bounty hunting and low payment etc.

Why need to participate bounty:
Because working from bounty you can earn money. Here you can participate in signature, social media all different sectors but all these jobs are not easily available. So you have to work here with time and pain.

You should research in Bounty section where there are many bounties who are running bounties of $500, $1000, $5000, $10000, $15000 dollars. This is not logical at all because it is a very small amount where unlimited hunter can work. So after a few months of work you get $2, $5, $10, $30, $50.

A manager is getting good money as his remuneration but a hunter is just wasting time. So make yourself experts to work on bounty and abandon the bounty of such a budget.
