Topic: Have You Made Anything from Bounties? (Read 1105 times)

Yes, there was a time bounty was invoke like the way telegram not mining is now. I think bounty campaigns can reinstate their trust in people if they properly set up their campaign and pay people, because there are people losing trust in it when they are done completing the task, and have to wait for two weeks or more before they are paid. Then sometimes you don't get your payment again because of all this Telegram bot mining, people have channeled their focus there, even companies that run bounty campaigns have started building Telegram projects reducing the number of  bounty campaigns.

But there are still some bounties that people can earn with now, just that it is not as rampant as before, they are not so plentiful. There was a time when bounty was invoked and almost everybody were bounty hunters and everything, but now it has reduced. So it did pay when it was invoked, but if companies can reinstate it and build trust by actually paying people and maintaining the campaigns for a long time then it's going to work.

That is right and I think it is smart move that some bounty hunters have switched to signature campaigns which we can say BTC paying campaigns. And you are right after 2017 cryptocurrency bounty hunting became less profitable due to scams and decreased investment. Even good projects offered low rewards making it tough to earn living. It was wise to exit bounty hunting then. Now adapting to changing market conditions is good and exploring alternative opportunities like signature campaigns may provide more stability and rewards.

Base what I've read before here in community I guess last four or six years before one of the biggest earning can be is the bounty campaign and I didn't even experience that way. Bounty can be good to gain money and not at the same time why because if you found a poor project possible you are just promoting them to nothing and the value of their coin is not much have a value at all but of course the opposite of it is you chance to get good project and pay really well. I didn't join bounties once I join here I just came across into BTC signature campaign. So join at your own risk.

From the little time I have spent on this platform, I was able to access the bounty thread to see for myself and i realized that it was another place of activities on this platform. This thread if I am  not mistaken is an alt publicity department where projects launch their campaign and pay in their own local token to the partakers who took part in the exercise. Most at times these project does not really come out as they are supposed to be and the participants can not be compensated but time and efforts all gone.

These bounty campaign projects most times are not guaranteed as no one knows what would be the outcome of them taking part in the campaign unless the token  is escrowed in the custody of the campaign manager and even at then some still do not see the light of  the day  not to talk of distributing the token to them.

Some of the bounty hunters from before have already switched to joining signature campaigns or campaigns that pay in BTC. I was a bounty hunter too, but I stopped after the 2017 bull run. It slowed down because altcoins were hit hard by the number of scams at that time, so fewer people were investing. Even if there was a good project, the rewards weren’t that great, so overall, it became really tough to earn from bounties.

I am not talking about bounties but I joined a review campaign in market place section but they have not paid me ofcource to all, wasted my time. So before joining think twice
and check reputation of campaign managers and funds escrowed or not. We are all struggling to earn money.

Yes there was a time Bounty department was very busy people used to earn a lot of money from it.  But currently the bounty department has reached such a position that people are no longer able to earn any money from it.  But in the future, I don't think the bounty section will be good.  Currently any project running Telegram Tap Tap Bot campaign is getting viral and success in no time.  If telegram tap tap every campaign is successful like this then I don't think bounty section will be good next time.

Maybe a few years ago the bounty section was much more crowded and important but nowadays the bounty section is not that important. Due to various reasons especially cheating, lack of projects, telegram bot facilities etc. currently the bounty section has become unimportant. It is also doubtful whether the bounty section will be the same in the distant future.

To be frank I didn't do bounty and stuff , the reason is that is not all bounties that will actually pay , some will just endup wasting your time, while some may be legit but won't worth much . So when I came to this forum at first , I got to point that I was planning to engage in bounties a d start earning through it . But at the end, I  endup not doing it . Rather I focus on building my account so that I will be able to participate on campaigns like the other snr members. So I focus on learning first because without learning you won't be able to understand how this space and this forum work , and without proper knowledge you won't be able to build your account.

But now it all worth it so I advice you to focus on the learning so that you can post your account also , and as time goes yoh will see it all worth it.

Bounties was one of the cheapest way to make money in the crypto market then without any investment. Many of us participated in bounty which gave us a hedge over signature campaigns. Now the era of bounty is fading aways just like when NFT was trending with lots of projects to invest in. Now the era of bounty is faded away and we are now seeing different forms of airdrops in the market. Many crypto projects are not participating in bounties again which can be expensive and can only last for few weeks depending on the project type. We are now seeing crypto projects creating their apps, linking their site to telegram making it easier for investors and users to participate without stress.

You can't tell. Sometimes, you might earn good money from a bounty campaign but sometimes it's just dust amounts. So it's like gambling with your time because all you have to do is spend some time to complete the tasks and get rewarded for it, they say time is money, but in this case, the value of your time is unknown.

The reason why it takes long for participants to get rewarded is that bounty campaigns are paid with native tokens of the projects, and tokens are only available after the TGE (Token Generation Event), so they ask participants to promote the project and in return get tokens as a reward when the project reaches the TGE and listing stage.


Let me tell you why. The Services section is only for services/campaigns that pay their participants in Bitcoin. If a campaign or a service has its payment in an altcoin, it doesn't belong there. That is the reason why signature campaigns that are paying their participants in USDT are posted in Bounties (Altcoin) section because it's not about being a signature campaign or a bounty campaign, it's about the payment method being used. If a bounty campaign decides to pay its participants with Bitcoin, it can be posted in Services section.

In the past when this Bounty was very widespread on the forum it gave a reward that was quite worth it in my opinion, just a few years now it is not so worth it if the reward given is their coin, especially if it has no conversion to other currency values, it will only be a waste of time and it is much better that you participate in other events that have a history of providing optimal results for you, now the most worth it is the Signature Champaign on the economy board, rather than the Bounty it is much better. IMO

People participated in bounties back then like how airdrops work currently — do this and that, and we'll give you something.

Way the current trend is — the amounts of tasks you are asked to do to be eligible for rewards, there is only bounties remaining, it's just for some reason we are still calling them airdrops.

Most people have only seen bounty as a waste of time because majority of them all were nothing than a waste of time, if we are going for bounties, then we must be able to know that it's really worth it, we shouldn't invest much of our resources on them, especially when we are just starting, there is need for having more understanding on what bounties are and the way many of them turned a scam project, but nevertheless, some are still profitable nevertheless.

I don't know how people participated in bounties in the past but with the way it is discussed, I don't think it's as difficult as these TG bots and airdrops. I'm not saying airdrops are difficult to participate either but these TG bots are full of various projects that end up being scams or dust projects and it would have already consumed a lot of time and energy from the users or participants. Since this isn't an airdrops topic,so  I won't say much regarding airdrops or even mention examples but I suppose these airdrops projects are not as reliable and profitable as bounties are because I'm pretty an active user of airdrops too.

Years ago bounties were promising since many participants got paid when accepted to the bounty. Years later due to bounties being trending, scammers use it to scam people and that's the time bounties trend died down and you can hardly find bounties that pays. During that time, I only made $23 within 1 month and $130+ from a bounty of same duration while the rest is that I didn't even get a single.

Haha, nice topic anyway I'm not sure if this topic is already discussed by me or not but yup I will comment on it from a different perspective if I already did a reply, TBH I did make a few bucks, but now the trend has changed the marking got a new way, the airdrop point system which is much more effective for both participants and team as well, even though rewards are super duper low haha I'm not sure why I'm using this duper, anyway sticking to topic OP try TG bots and other Airdrop opportunities.

This is not a lie as there are third-party platforms out there that are attractive to new projects instead of this forum, for example Galxe and Zealy, if you aren't lazy you will surely make some money through these two, I have junior brothers that are using these platforms andand their feedback have been so good so far.

I really hope that something can be done so that new projects can come back on here for social campaigns and others, the stories of past bounties on this forum is so exciting, you will feel like going back in time and join.

Someone told me he was able to finish up his house because of the ICO race in 2017, he said he made a lot of money just from one single project, I don't think that such will ever happen again since there are too many options now.

As many have already mentioned above, the current state of bounty campaigns is very bad. Participating in bounty campaigns will only waste your time, most projects are scams these days. But if the bounty is managed by a professional manager then you can participate in those bounty projects.

I heard that bounty campaigns were good a few years ago, everyone was able to earn a lot of money. But I have never made any money from bounty campaigns. But nowadays airdrop has become very popular, everyone is now paying attention to airdrop. I also participated in an airdrop a few days ago and got paid. A few airdrops are going to be successful within a few days.

Many have earned money from here by working on bounty campaigns. I earned like $80 working from here. There was a time when people could earn fairly good money from bounty campaigns but now a very small amount can be earned. Actually currently Bounty section is being neglected especially Bounty section is almost neglected in telegram hope of tap tap campaign. Working on bounty campaigns requires patience as many campaigns get here before the presale starts, making it too late to distribute tokens or USDT according to their roadmap.

I've heard my senior friends discuss about bounties and they also attest the projects were highly profitable as they made more than they do with campaigns now but they also mentioned the time was within the range you mentioned and has passed. They said bounties are not as trustworthy and profitable in the past.

Gone are those days when bounties where a good deal for anyone that gets to participate in them. As time evolves, they don’t pay as before and members are not more taking it serious again. For those that joined bounties in the early days, they certainly made a lot of money because by then the crypto market is yet to be saturated as it is now. Big job, few participants and big allocations are common then. I don’t know if those days will be coming again, but it seems the narratives have now shifted to the telegram based mini app games and the TON network.

The market is changing, we might see another transgression in the next cycle and may be nothing compared to this again. One thing with bounty, don’t expect much and hope they don’t scam participants and not pay them their money because that is common in bounty. If you’re lucky enough, only one payment will conver for all the time you’ve put in to do all the bounties. It’s all a game of luck luck. You may be profitable and may not, just make up your mind to accept whatever outcome you get from them.

Despite everything happening in the cryptocurrency market, I am also expecting one or two bounties that will give its participants good and responsible amount of money; but it seems like crypto space has diverted to another way of bringing up new projects. Telegram and TON network is the new trend, and most bounty projects are on BSC chain, and I also think that new project owners find another ways to advertise their projects easily than this forum.

There are bounties going in the bounty section, but most of them will not pay big amount of money because there allocations are small and the number of participants are much and most of the projects do turn out to be scam.

I made some money from it, also from claiming Coinbase rewards and such, but you had to be smart about it to make any money.

The deal is they're hoping you'll hold these tokens hoping for a pump. Usually it's best to dump everything as soon as you can and avoid tokens that trade on shady exchanges only. I wouldn't bother to register and do KYC on some new exchange just co claim $10 of a token that I may or may not be able to sell there.

Most new altcoins eventually die and out of those that survive only a handful goes through a FOMO phase. You either hold them all in hope that you can profit from that one lucky coin, or you safely dump them all and make a few bucks consistently. Your choice.

Just to add to this one, there's a thing called "Galxe" already that launches social tasks for a project if they want to give a share of their tokens to the participants and for me, this is by far more efficient, and better compared to the current bounty campaigns here.

I'm not against those bounty campaigns that are paying altcoin here, but there are other ways to earn outside the forum already. I don't know, but the number of bounty campaigns that are being launched here decreased by a lot since it's hype a few years ago because there are some that are way better than it already. As for the USDT-paying bounty campaigns, yes there are some and most are being launched by julerz12 and the current Stake Signature campaign which is currently paying USDT but nevertheless, I will not join in any bounty campaigns here that are paying altcoins because I don't find it profitable at least for me.

If you want to hunt for altcoins, you can find outside the forum. There's plenty of them.

I'm not totally sure as I'm not active in bounties anymore since ages, but from what I read, it seems to me like venture capital, but with time i stead of money: most bounties won't pay you well (or pay you at all) but perhaps if just a few are successful payment could compensate for all the effort.

Like we use to say about money in risky investments, when it comes to bounties invest only the time you can afford to lose...

With so much time spent on trying to figure out which altcoin is worth the risk and which is a bad investment, I don't see any bounties in the altcoin section that's worth promoting, apart from the ones paying in USDT every week from BM like Julerz12, although the payment seems small but far reliable than those shit tokens on there right now.

I don't think that good altcoins will come on here for promotions this time around, it seems hunting for altcoins are more profitable now than looking for alt bounties, it is highly likely to watse your precious time.

---

In the past there are so many good projects that used this forum for advertisements, some are still doing very well till date, I just don't understand what went wrong, during this period we should already be seeing new promising altcoins coming in with bounty promotions, I think that testnets are the new bounties.

Bounty boards are still busy, although there are not many new projects, but every day there are still quite a lot of active members there.
to avoid scam bounty campaigns that result in participants not receiving anything, there are bounty campaigns that pay their participants with USDT. that's quite better than paying tokens that can't be traded yet, and it takes a long time to be listed on the exchange. that's also if the project is successfully launched.
some bounty campaigns have even done escrow for payments. so it's quite calm for participants. even though the results may be very small, and may be beyond the participants' expectations.

It is not entirely unprofitable this days, because bounties have a lot of up and down, and for sure there are some project's that rewards their bounty participants bountifully with so e making up to $1k or even More depending on their activities and level of token accumulations during the bounty period, but sometimes the only bounty campaign that becomes profiting for theirs participants are the one's that are introduced by few reputable members of the Forum such as Hhampuz, Yahoo and a few other bounty manager.


And to show how decline bounty rewards and quality have been lately, you see how all the reputable bounty managers mentioned above have abandoned bounty, and the reason is not far from the fact that bounty has become a total waste of time lately.

Well I don't really know much about bounty, but I guess those bounties was doing well before that was at the early stage but now I don't really know how those bounties is going anymore, bounty of nowadays is very different from the bounty we use to know before. most of those bounties you see today is scam, though it depends on the kind of bounty campaign you participate, because most people are still going in search of those bounty campaign, so I think most of those bounty can still Worth something.

Participating in bounties is actually a choice. I will not advise you anyone to join or not to join but the truth is it hardly pays nowadays, hence, it's assume as wasting of time. If you notice the bounties section you would discovered there's a significant decrease in terms of people participating and of course in terms of projects coming to advertise in the section.

 Some of these people you see participating know nothing about this space and they do anything doable since it doesn't require them to deposit money but it requires their time and data while they end up with bunch of coins that'll take forever to get listed. Some people were lucky in the past to earn a decent amount from bounties but it's a complete trash now unless you're willing to sacrifice to see whatever the outcome of it will be.

Bounty was said to be the cryptocurrency money making machine in the past, but with time, the that section of the cryptocurrency industry become highly infiltrated with scams and all manner of fake projects, that took tons of bounty hunters time in promotion but never pay them or even make it to the exchange.

This made many bounty hunters to give up on bounty and at the same time bounty become so unpopular and unattractive, also we need to no that the global economic State is changing and there is no much free money any where.

Attention has been shifted from bounty to airdrops. People are being paid for airdrops because I saw that some people participated in the Dogs airdrop, which got listed today, and they were paid. So for now, bounty is not really paying, and the amount which some of them pay doesn’t really worth it. So since attention has been shifted to airdrops, anyone planning to make money can just participate in them, even as we know that most of them won’t be paying, but at least a few will, and anyone that participates in it will be able to benefit from it.

It became less rewarding indeed from what info I've got from there and everywhere else alike, unfortunately.
You are right.

Bounties are time consuming and it's hard to make money from it.
On top of that many bounty tokens don't even get us decent returns.
We need to be really luck to make hefty returns from bounty because only a few of them make it big.
If you don't have any other means to make money then you can try your luck with them but just that don't end up spamming the forum in the process.

If there is no profits in the bounty campaign, I don't think participants will be there looking for campaign to join to earn some tokens in the future.

You have a choice to make in bounty campaign because nobody will force you to join the bounty campaign to help the company to promote their products, and there are some managers who will stand to help the company to employ participants and give them rules which the participants must follow to entitle for their reward from the campaign. I can still remember, that I made some tokens from bounty campaign some years ago but some disappeared from my wallet that made me to lose interest on bounty campaign, because I thought I can hodl them like the way i use to hodl BTC from signature campaign, but I regret not to spend much time on bounty campaign.

Currently, most bounty campaigns are not successful, which may make you think so. But at one time there was an opportunity to earn a good amount of money from these bounty campaigns. Currently if someone wants to earn money from bounty he has to join USDT and escrow campaigns to ensure he gets paid.

Due to the lack of payment these days, many have abandoned the bounty and turned to airdrop. Especially Telegram bot projects have gained huge popularity. Even a few airdrops have already been successful. Which includes TON coins which have given people good profits and today DOGS Airdrop has paid among their users so many members have been able to earn money from this airdrop.

I guess airdrops are now getting more attractive than bounties currently. I somehow feel that history is repeating itself as there was a time in the past when airdrops were good. Again we are seeing the same happening with the Solana airdrop earlier and now the TON airdrops. I feel it is better to be part of those as who doesn't want free money.

In those days, which you remember, bounty was the main way to attract investors' attention to the project. Now, other methods are used to obtain investments. But those companies that cannot attract the attention of investors due to the poor quality of the project come here and eventually issue a token that no one needs.

nowadays I don't think there are the same bounties that there were in the past years (ICO era - 2017)

at that time it was not impossible to receive 500-1000 dollars of tokens (at least on the balance sheet...)
in general now apart from some extremely sponsored projects (example hamster kombat) it is really difficult to find activities that can be risk-free.

I have never tried Bounty. Because I never found it interesting. Bounty has always felt like a waste of time to me. But once upon a time bounties were profitable and many could earn from them.

I am trying to answer all of you reply

Yep you are really know that, are you one of the many of bounty hunter like I did haha. Indeed is very hard nowadays to get a new bounty that really pays well since bitcointalk is no longer one-stop place like it used too. Today project usually comes from twitter and other social media like telegram.

and to be honest I do agree with Hypen because Bounty is not really a thing right now especially here in bitcointalk unless you are pro that can found bug in a project and they moved into airdrop which for me is exactly same as a bounty but sometime is more rewarding and usually its happen outside the bitcointalk forum

There is one common talk in the cryptocurrency community which is “Do Your Own Research (DYOR)” is a very popular phrase because it’s a regular reminder that, regardless of whatever information we get, we should always do our own research so as to be responsible for every actions we take.
I still maintain my point that, regardless of what people think about bounties, there are still very good bounties that are still actually profitable and example is the current bounty by royse that offered cash rewards.

Over hype has made a whole lot of altcoins because very useless and this is because most holders of a new coin project already has the mentality of dumping the moment a coin is launched possible after been airdropped or rewarded or maybe bought from presale and this alone explains why most coins and projects become useless even after distributing their coins

I think you are right to wonder if bounties are worth it but we should also recognize that some people are actually making money from them. Just because of it does not work for everyone does not mean we should ignore success of those who have found good bounties. It is hard to tell which bounties are genuine but some people have figured out how to spot good ones. While many bounties and airdrops are scams there are some real ones that have paid out but they have much users so there reward becomes nothing after distribution. To navigate bounties effectively we need to be cautious and do our research.

The era of bounty is gradually fading out and now many airdrops is through project apps and telegram linkage.
Bounty can be very profitable but these days things are not the way they was before. We could make a lot of money from bounty few years ago but now, it is very hard because many of the crypto projects are now creating their own apps and linking their sites with telegram. We have seen so many airdrops on telegram these days both the ones that have launched and the ones that are yet to be launched. There are still few bounties that can be very profitable for us if we know  how to identify them.

I don’t know why I think you’re sounding like someone who is already feed up with bounties even before they start 😂 but regardless, there are people who are doing absolutely well off bounties and as hard it might seem to believe, but it's just the bitter truth and it doesn’t seem profitable to you doesn’t also mean others aren’t combing in some reasonable amounts from bounties by doing the right thing and joking the right bounties.
Some persons might want to ask me, how we they know which bounty is a good one (sorry to say that, I also don’t know because I really don’t do bounties and can’t actually remember doing anyone in recent time) but there are people who know this things.

I think just as other users have already said, currently now, a lot of bounties and airdrops seem like scam but there are also some legit ones that people are already earning very well from it.

Yeah, the risk of that (scam or rug projects) in bounties is much bigger than in sigs, in my opinion, from what I've seen. Thanks for sharing your experience about it!

I have never earned anything from bounties for the simple reason that I did not participate in them, and not only that it all seemed pointless to me at the time, but precisely because I did not want to promote projects that were quite dubious and looked more like a scam but anything else.

I won't say that I'm proud of some projects that I promoted through sig campaigns, which ended up being bad - but as far as I remember, there weren't more than 2 in all this time since I've been on the forum.

Some people will do everything for a little money and I understand to some extent that some don't have much of a choice, but still don't participate in bounties that are an obvious scam, you won't get anything, and you'll also be helping the scammer to do his dirty work.

Harsh truth! ;( Thanks for sharing some bounty managers, I will have these names in mind when looking through the appropriate board

If you have to promote projects from the altcoin section, make sure its coming from reputable bounty manager, Julerz12 for example or irfanpak, I trust these two more than every other, also make sure you do your own research as few projects from reputable BMs will still underperform or failed to fulfilled their promises, e.g bounty allocation and other.

The best bounties on the forum are Bitcoin bounties no doubt, and I have made some good amount of money promoting online casinos, you just have to meet some criteria to increase your chance of getting selected.

Years ago altcoin bounties are so lucrative, even the worst looking projects of the time still did very well, but things have changed drastically, as there are too many altcoins today.

I wish you well on the campaign you found! I've read that the sheet can be created to save every task you've done previously so that there would be no task underestimated, as you said It's for the convenience, of course.

There was a time when there was a good profit from bounty campaign but nowadays not much profit or money can be made from bounty campaign. But I gained from the bounty campaign. Currently working on bounty campaign hope to earn good money from here too.  It is difficult to tell when a task is not to be underestimated. Maybe many people ignore the bounty campaign and don't want to work, but many people don't know the work that has to be done here to earn money. So let them work, if they work, some money can be earned. But you can't expect to earn money if you don't work. There are still many bounty campaigns for those of you willing to work.

It became a new reality, basically. Harsh, but a reality nonetheless

Even if they do distribution, what you get will be very small in value or no value, useless at all. So it does not worth your time to work with bounties and hope that you will be rewarded, and distributed fairly and good enough in value.

Rather than wasting time to bounties that you know clearly that there is small chance to get good reward, you can use your time for learning, finding jobs, getting salary and using it to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and tokens you like.

Cryptocurrency job list is helpful for people who are looking for jobs in cryptocurrency.

Currently, most bounty projects do not pay, but there is no liquidity to exchange the project's tokens, although some bounty campaigns do.  It is said that most of the current bounty projects are scams and only some USDT paying projects are ok. I haven't received anything from the bounty to mention but have completed several projects which are still not paying.

Not all tokens are worth promoting. Nowadays, I see many Memescoins and tokens linked to fake projects and rug pull tokens, so not everything being promoted now on the Bounties board is worth it. Additionally, many new bounty managers promote nonsense here; they only care about the fees they've received from these project teams and not about maintaining their reputation. Participants may end up with tokens they can't trade or stuck in their wallets with no value in the future.

Although I am one of the people who retired from working in bounties years ago, this does not prevent the fact that there are well-known bounty managers with high-quality projects worth working on. Also, conducting research should be a top priority before joining any bounty.

TBH, you will not know the future of those projects that are launching bounty campaign out there. I mean out of 100 projects, there might be 1 or 2 that might be the next top 100 in terms of market cap. Out of 100 projects that are in the bounty section right now, there might be 1 or 2 that might explode and get hyped in the future. Of course, this isn't a certainty and most of the time, those that are launching their bounty campaigns out there ending up as a failed project or a rug pull at worst.

Will they worth something? Most of them aren't, but if you're lucky, you might get tokens that might have some value in the future. There are times where the managers are taking their time rewarding these bounty hunter for some reasons, but there are some who aren't even paying those who advertised them in various platforms. Have I made anything from bounties? Back in 2017-2018, I made around $400-$500 maybe in different campaigns, but there are some who are getting more than a thousand dollars just by promoting the project for free. Nowadays, that's long gone already because a bounty hunter is considered lucky if they get at least 10$ on one campaign.

Do I found bounty campaign worthless? Kind of and as much as I don't want to say bad things to it, I find bounty campaigns a waste of time already, and I know many will agree with me.

You may not participate in inappropriate bounties because 2017-2021 is still the heyday of high income bounties, I may still actively join bounties in that year with the highest income reaching $ 2k, so we have to learn several things to select bounties of potential projects so you don't waste time participating in bounty scams. However, in 2021 and above there will be many bounties from projects that have no potential, until now there are not many bounty hunters anymore because many bounty projects are scams.

I just think I am among those who joined bounties when it was less rewarding. I can say that almost all the bounties I promoted in the past were time-wasting, and their rewards weren't encouraging to say that you will keep doing to earn big like others who did bounties during the ICO days around 2017-2021. However, I would say I was misinformed about bounties in my early days in the forum as a newbie that bounties pay. All the same, since I learned my lesson that bounties days are far over, I desist from participating in them because they aren't worth someone's time to promote them.

No one can really tell you that, except they're an oracle telling the future. We can only speculate but we can't be certain of what they speculation can be. Sometimes, events can take a twist, shit happens and projects get abandoned even when they aren't planned that way initially. Whenever that happens, people lose money and then tag those projects scam. We see that all the time.

It's for advert' sakes so as to enable them create awareness and get enough patronage for themselves, especially when they've structured it in a way to reward their hunters in their yet-to-be-listed tokens. It's way too economical for them as that saves them cost and they can afford to run their bounties as long as they want. They hardly consider those who hunt and promote such bounties for them. Most times they don't even send reward tokens as promised to bounty hunters at the end of the whole thing.

I can say just once and that was way back then with Cartesi. Others I participated in were either scam or shit tokens.

The conclusion is in the quote below.
That's the main point, to determine whether the gift is going well or has value.

Next thing you need to consider.

After you have confirmed everything above, you just need to wait for the prize from the project you are promoting, whether it will have good value in the market or not be worth anything at all.
A prize project is like opening a business, if your business has a lot of interest, your project will progress and vice versa without any selling point, aka a scam.

A lot of people are talking about the bounties and according to them that a bounties is a great project, because so many people benefits from the bounty by earning big rewards, Some bounties take like three to five months before they can distribute there rewards to every users.

But now the bounty is no more functional like before, because the scammers have took over it that’s why you can see a lot of peoples now didn’t have so much interest to participate on bounty, and so many people have worked for them and they refuse pay out the rewards.

Truly, it became much harder to find the gems worth dealing with for ;(

I am impressed with the way you express yourself in this bounty discussion. Many people have earned a lot of money from bounties in the past, the money some people will make in one project is more than what they will earn in weekly payment signature campaigns for five months or more because people were making thousands of dollars from bounties in the past. But now, people hardly make $100 from bounties because the alocaions are smaller than it used to be and the participants are much compared to before and the projects are also not jenue as they used to be.
Now, bounties are worthless, they aren't worth our time anymore, and scammers have taken over the bounty space because 75% of the projects are not paying anything, and even if they do, the tokens are worthless, so don't waste your time on bounties now.

Keep us updated on the project you found! Thanks for the insights and sharing your experience. It became harder, as I understood, to find a worthy bounty (as well as even a worthy project to invest your time in, in general).

its a hit and miss but before you can make profit almost any token since its just getting started but today, mostly you will get nothing from it, if you are looking for bounties you have lots of competition today also , you need to be active, and also do task but don't expect to much, before i can honestly say i earn an amount, but today some are just a few dollars, but hey if you can do more task maybe, but if you really want to earn then you have to double you're efforts money don't just fall on the ground.

you also see when there are many bounties there are also more scams and there are also more greedy people.
Indeed, bounty campaigns have provided an extraordinary attraction for people to join forums with the aim of bounty campaigns.
as you said, some pay, but there are also more that are garbage.
currently, there are still bounty campaigns, not because of the few projects. but bounty managers are also more selective in choosing projects, as well as bounty hunters who will not join carelessly because of the many scam projects.
if many projects launch bounty campaigns but are scams, they will be useless.

Have You Made Anything from Bounties? The last I made from bounties is actually at the end of 2022 and I earn around 1000 USD and before that I joined multiple bounty some of them are rewarding and the other are just trash and ending up nothing and to be honest there is a lot that didn't payme rather than bounty that really pays me.

Im rarely join the altcoin bounty for now but maybe I'm gonna take a look after a while if I found promising project. But to be honest bitcointalk today is not crowded space like used to be so the bounty is not much like it used too.

You really can't tell until you give a try, unless the bounty is trying to pay you in USDT or other stable coins, if they are trying to pay in their native coins then there are risks attached, some will pay and in the end the tokens will worth almost zero, and few will pay and the tokens will worth something, its left for you to do your own research first before promoting any new crypto projects via this forum.

Also, its better you look for something that really pays, like real passive income, bounties are not to be rely on as a source of making some money, especially if they are altcoin bounties that will pay in their native tokens.

Talking about bounties more helpful for us depend on when question asking, almost all bounty campaign participants earn much money when the bounty era around 2016 to 2020 because most of campaign success when listing on the market.
Allocation reward around 2% to 5% based on coins supply make bounty hunter very interested with reward allocated. But difference if OP question asking right now because many campaign just waste our time only from shit reward when distribution until many campaign of bounties not worth yet how difficult reward sending until reward estimation under $10 for one month campaign duration.

I have checked with board of bounty campaign thread and there are many campaign not interested yet with payment method without using escrow until campaign participants not limited exactly for social media campaign.
You can imagine how much reward receiving with small allocation but participants each campaign more than 3k participants, you only waste your time depend on reward receiving with bounty campaign right now.

I haven't looked at this section for ages.

My (only personal) opinion is that these tokens (99.9%) are not worth wasting your time on.

Very unlikely. The times when you could make money on bounty, in my opinion, are a thing of the past.

This question should be addressed to the organizers of the bounty campaigns (bounty manager and the project's team).

I don't know if this has become a modern trend (delays in paying out rewards), but in the past there were no problems with this (as far as I know from observations on selective bounty campaigns).

It seems I got several different candy token wrappers, which, of course, are worth nothing now (as they were then). So, in fact, I wasted my personal time.

For me, I think the time for bounty profitability is way past already, this is because most of the altcoins projects of late are all made up of fake team and who are only after investors funding to run away with it, a d this have resulted into massive rate of scam in the altcoins market, this have a direct impact on the success of altcoins bounties since the mother projects are no longer successful so will the bounty becomes useless.


So in recent time, bounties are not advisable and should be taken same way with gambling, that is, you can lose your money at any point, same for bounty the manager and the project team may promise you high rewards, but at the end you may get nothing, which is why you shouldn't put any hopes on bounty rewards.

I personally have not actually made anything from bounty thou am not hunting but I have friends that are bounty hunters but recently they have been complaining that bounty are no longer paying as it uses to like before where some are making promises and postponement of payments and most times half payment hence I felt discouraged of hunting but however, I might have a change of mind and also give a try and hopefully enough I might get lucky since there is no harm in trying. Bounty are almost having the same issues with airdrops.

Most of the projects owners gets greedy after the successful promotion of their projects and the project get listed in exchanges and the price is really good. They won't even agree to pay bounty participants. When the campaign is newly lunched you will hear lots of promises that they will pay promptly on or before listing in exchanges, but the moment they get listed, they will change their mouth and say that bounty participants will kill their project by dumping the price. It is very hard to see a bounty that will even pay $50 to it's participants these days. To me any bought that won't pay in usdt and the funds escrowed by the bounty manager is not worth participating.

This question, which the OP asked, has been popular since 2017, and newbies who always believe in such, one might say, easy income, which happened a long time ago, do not lose hope to this day. I was also caught in this illusion at one time, but after staying and participating for a couple of months and not receiving a penny, I realized that my time is more valuable, and I’m not going to waste it on something unknown. But today’s participation in the bounty amazes me with the number of people who are on the forum more than I, but remaining beginners, and of course (I have no doubt) having dozens of alternative accounts, still believe that one day they will be able to make good money. I see such people mistakenly thinking that they have several lives, and they spend one of theirs on bounties, which very rarely pay well. Being a forum bounty hunter for seven years is just crazy to me.

Take it from a campaign manager, they aren't worth participating in anymore. I stop promoting bounty not because I wasn't getting bounty offers but because of the level of scam in the sector. 99% of the bounty their tokens aren't worth your time promoting them. There was a time when bounties were worth promoting because projects that did bounties had some genuine intentions to do proper marketing but right now, it is mostly the scam projects that rely on bounties because they know they won't pay the participants or probably give them worthless tokens (some project migrate to other Blockchain and refuse to pay hunters when campaigns had ended).

There are better methods big projects use to advertise their tokens, they can use airdrop or employ the service of ads on big media platforms and exchanges. Bounties still pay but you have to try your luck on multiple occasions before getting something worth your time and it would had been a better time well spent if you look for other options to use your time to earn some Bitcoin like through signature promotions and participating in review campaigns.

There was a time it would be the year 2017 when the success rate of bounty projects was very high and at that time almost every project paid. And because those tokens were listed on good exchanges, their value was high. Those who worked in Bounty during that time got huge amount of payment. But at present payment from Bounty is not expected because the tokens of the projects which run Bounty campaign are not available in the market.  Even if something comes, it is listed on low-quality exchanges due to which the token has no value.

Gone are those days when bounties use to be good campaigns you’ll earn well in the forum, but I think it is now a lot of scams in them and some not worth the pays that makes people not to engage in them and despise them so much and prefer to join paid signature campaigns in the forum now. In past bull runs, I read that they were amongst the best campaigns you could join here because so many investors invests in projects without them even knowing in detail the prospect of their projects to come. This days, before an investor put their hard earned money into a project, they’re very sceptical and not put into any project they just come across without knowing the prospects of them. I think the bounty glory days are over, but maybe just I’m wrong they might be some coming through but I don’t see them now. Bounties used to be good campaigns to participate in but not anymore.

I made a lot of money from it in the past.
Those golden days are gone. If you get involved now, it's impossible to make a good amount.
Investors used to easily multiply their investments. I'm not telling a fairy-tale, it happened a lot in the past. It's very true few years back many people made decent profits from doing bounties. Those days are gone, so be careful and take precautions before joining a bounty program.

I assume that from some basic things you can guess that a bounty campaign is a scam, for example when someone finds that the white paper is plagiarized, or that the team behind everything is completely fake. Therefore, if you want to increase the chances of participating in something where you have a chance to earn something at the end, you should research each campaign - which is certainly not an easy job.

I would recommend that you instead read more posts and learn from more experienced members, and this will eventually result in you getting a place in some sig campaign that pays in BTC.

You need to be careful about which bounties you join and the quality of the project behind the bounty. Otherwise you are wasting your time and you will not receive any profit in the end...

But with good projects you can make a nice amount of money. Around 100 USD - 1K USD was the norm a few years back. Not so sure about how things are now.

Yep. Those were the days!
The ICO craze a few years back created a perfect storm for bounty programs with big payouts that seemed too good to be true and  basically, you could score hefty rewards just by doing simple promotional stuff like retweeting a post or writing a quick blog article.  It was a bonanza! But then the crypto winter hit, and most of those bounty opportunities dried up real fast. 

But, I dont think bounties themselves are totally useless though.  Maybe its about being more selective now.  Rather than chasing every bounty under the sun, bounty hunters should focus on communities and projects they genuinely believe in for the long haul.  That way they support something meaningful while still getting compensated.  Quality over quantity, right? The key is shifting priorities from quick wins to strategic relationships.

Sure, its not as wildly lucrative as back in 2017.  But if you play it smart and commit to the right networks, bounties can still pay off.  Just require a bit more patience and discernment nowadays.

I was once a bounty hunter, and then people were making some reasonable amount of money from gambling, but seriously, I don’t really think most of the bounties in the bounty section are really worth promoting, most of them are scam tokens, and after promoting some of them, the amount that each participant will be receiving won’t really be encouraging. But some projects might be useless currently, but later in the future, some will have value, and you will be able to make a good amount of money from them.

I don’t think anyone will be able to answer this question, some projects do surprise lots of people.

That’s based on the agreement that the bounty manager has with the team, and some managers don’t pay early because they do take  time to compile the spreadsheet and attend to any complaints.

YES.

Bounties were very profitable several years back, particularly during the time ICOs were a thing. People would easily make hundreds to thousands of dollars when the tokens got listed in popular exchanges.
Forget about bounties, even useless looking airdrops would easily land you a few thousand dollars if you sold off in time. Today, Bounties are completely useless in my opinion. I think they are just a waste of time.

If you look at the section recently, you will notice that no reputable manager is bringing any project for promotion this time, which means that most of the projects there are not too legit which is why the were been introduced by average managers.

Bounties are good back then, but it is a waste of effort and time this days because most of the projects are either shitcoins that will never get listed or scam project that might have copied whitepaper of some projects just to get investors to scam; therefore, avoid bounties if you don't want to waste your time.

The reason why bounty participants don't get paid early is because some of them have to wait until the project get listed, while some will have to wait for the team to see outcome of their promotion before making payment.

Sometimes it can be almost perfect in a way some people will not know. Some can be almost legit but become pump and dump in a way that the amount made will be very low. The risk bounties have is the reason I have not gone for any in the past because I do not want anything that can result to waste effort for me.

Bounties are very good when bounties are still good and very strong many people enjoy them, let me use mine as an example, I earned $200 in a single bounty before and it was a token that was distributed after the token was distributed I made the amount and I liked it, although bounties rewards are being distributed to all the participants after the bounties end and that is what some participants don’t like but according to the rules it is all written that the bounties reward will be distributed at the end of the bounty, you have to be patient in terms of bounties because some bounties will not pay even after you suffer and participate in the bounty, if not now that bounties are not that much again bounties are very good and some pay well that you will be praying for more bounties to come.

So how do we know which bounty is real and which is scam? Is there any way to understand it? Is Maximum Bounty a scam?

Rewards to participants comes with possible promotion and profits stocked. Bounties campaign are vast in numbers but I don't indulged in them because most of them have failed prior to the seasonal changes in the crypto market. It's very complex to deal with bounties but the lucky ones actually make huge profits for themselves at the market launch of a particular pointed projects.

You remind me of my first days on this forum . IDK if you asked this in general or not, but at the moment, it seems difficult to find projects worth promoting there. Why does it take so long to get rewarded? Just an internal project issue, if they had set it up from the start, it shouldn't have taken that long.

Have I made anything from bounties? Yeah, some altcoins were good in their time, one of which was Phore.

There have been several bounties projects ongoing and they've there own potentials and stipulated strategies on how their projects could be liquidated and evaluates the coins values.
It really requires a step to develop a token, so also it takes processes to launched until the coin get listed in the exchange for trades.
So if you participated in any of the bounty projects go on research to satisfy your mind on why your project hasn't rewarded you yet.
Though it could be as a fact of unfinished projects yet or probably you must have run a time wasted projects.
So, always make your research before participating on any free projects.

I joined this forum fully in 2021, my journey to this forum started by doing the bounty from the very beginning. But before I started doing bounties, I had a few known big brothers who used to get payments of $800 to $900 from almost every campaign.

Seeing their way of earning that amount of money, I myself learned from them and then tried but since then I did not get any significant results. I signed a campaign from Altcoinstalk forum and got paid $900 which was the biggest achievement of my life from any campaign. Then I got paid from the few campaigns I worked on, but I didn't get a big payment. There was a time that was considered the golden age of Bounty (Maybe 2017-2020), but that time is no more.

Are you referring before or now?

Since there would be a lot different stories if you try to ask that question here.

Way back before on ICO days year 2017-2019 we are earning pretty good cash came from bounty campaign since lots of project posted their campaigns here are paying. They are good for delivering each rewards to their users.

But 2020 up to the present the bounty scene became shit place for scammers who want to promote their projects for free and there's a lot of project didn't pay their participants and what's worse they are scamming a lot of people. That's why many participants including didn't bother to join in bounty campaign again since it seems everything there is worthless.

I made good amounts back in 2017-2020 from altcoin bounties but nothing much after that, today there is both lack of quantity and quality; you could argue there was quality campaigns even then but at least there was market for tokens with good price in most cases.

I have not actually take time to look at the bounties section. But if you have gone through it, and you see any token worth promotion. You can actually partake in it. I will advise you seize the opportunity and get the reward. It might yield more reward that you can't imagine.

I know someone that told me he made $6000 from a bounty. I saw some that later become profitable. There were many that become useless and no much profit compared to the time spent to promote them on social media. Some are completely scam. I can remember one which was called student coin. It was a scam. People wasted their time and effort.

Bounties are just like how altcoins are. It can be profitable. It may not be profitable. It may turn to scam.

---

Some on bounties board are signature campaigns but payments in altcoins like USDT. I do not know why those are on bounty board because they are signature campaigns. Payment are in altcoins and can be profitable.

There was a time when bounties were very rewarding. As of today they are waste of time unless you join an USDT bounty. I checked thier are a few signature campaign that are offering upto $20 USDT a week. You can give them a try after going through the rules and regulations. $80 is a good amount as an earning in a month without much efforts.

Was looking at the bounties section. Are those tokens worth promoting? Will they really be worth something? Why does it take so long before participants are rewarded? Have you made anything from bounties?
