Topic: How to know a good bounty - page 16. (Read 10393 times)
This year the bounties are better, bro. Many bounties really pay the participants with a good amount of money. Even if not all bounties resulted good payments, but as a whole the bounties this year are much better (the same as you said). I am sure the bounties will be good as long as in the bullish trend.
There is many problems in running bounties if you join escrow there is big chances that creater will change their contract adress when payment time comes. Bounty present by big members has some good news about distribution. Sometimes it can happens a year for distribution but not solved any problem. So bounty can be scam or not paid or anything can happens so don't do bounty as full time do part-time with a big job then this thank you.
Experience is great teacher, just go on join some bounty, eventually you should be able to judge better.
I think things are more complex than that, your time is valuable, your effort is valuable too and even more importantly you need to make sure that you are not promoting a scam, and the only way you can make sure that you are not wasting your time is by doing a very deep research about the bounty that you want to join, it is true that it is time consuming and you will need to do this process several times before you find a bounty worth your time, but you have to do it or you risk joining a bounty which will make you work for nothing and you will never get paid. 
For me, you should go first to make research within the project. Identify first the project, research about them if they are legit project like they are using information that is real, their whitepaper, the team behind it, and after that, you can also use bounty manager as the basis, is the bounty manager reputable? history is good and that's the time you can decide.
What you have written is true, but going through whitepaper and team is enough to create a first impression of a project. This is my personal and I always recommend to follow own criteria when selecting bounty, but for me it is enough to check if there is no plagiarism in WP or webpage, look if the page was not created in a rush and make a decision to participate or not. I dont expect much from bounties, so I dont plan to spend hours doing research. Because sometimes time spend on research is more than time spent doing social media bounty tasks through all campaign.

Since 2018 I have not heard of any project with a good promotion by holding a Bounty. Until now, on average, most projects are not very well-known, and are not worth the results obtained. Because many new projects fail and many do not have a price for the rewards given as gifts from bounty. Although it is not all, but I think there are many bad things at the moment. Maybe bounty is similar to gambling, because we don't know their future. Analysis is sometimes also wrong. IMO
2016-2017 was the greatest time of bounties - many people and hunters got rich during that time but after that, the rest of the coming bounties seem worthless and scams. That I think the next generation of bounties could be worse. Thus, if we are into participating in them or having a plan, we better not continue as it was only a slim chance to find good bounties and pays decent rewards to the participants.
if you have higher rank in this forum, better go to BTC-paying campaigns. most of these bounties will just waste your time and resources.
but if you have lower rank, instead of chasing these bounties, why not look for other activities that will give you better income like look for valuable coins that you can stake with or trade with. or offer your expertise that you think the community here would require.
Perhaps, this was a big problem now as we don't have any tool to help us know if that particular bounty is legit or a scam (exit scam). Even doing deep research on the project/bounty can't give us 100% assurance that it will become successful and make payment to all promoters. Now, it was really hard to trust them as even the Bounty Manager has been experiencing difficulties to determine it until it come to such point of knowing it was a scam when they are not active anymore
This is indeed a trying time and difficult period for bounty hunters, there isn't any yardstick to determine a scam or genuine bounty campaign, some of these campaigns are well hyped such that it looks legitimate in early stage, however after promoting them for a long period of time it's developers will abandon the project or the token will be worthless after listing in an exchange thus rendering the work and efforts of bounty hunters fruitless, of non regulations of crypto projects give room for scam projects to thrive, bounty hunters have to be diligent and carefully select projects to promote.

However bounty managers still can play a small role and be a guarantee of distribution or success. Managers than escrow rewards have a bit higher success rate, yet escrow is not a real solution, as projects are ready to send reward to bounty manager, but often dont send him funds for distribution.
That is perhaps what they are doing and they report projects that are likely to scam (any members can do as well). Their participation is very important knowing that they know more about the developer before deciding to run and manage the campaign.Quote
I would suggest not expect much from bounty participation. Consider it as getting a food sample in shop before buying a product. You can try, but you cant beat hunger with food samples. Participate, but dont expect a tiny reward.
Bounty is likely a dying market promotion, only a few people and most newbies are participating in this which is not really effective. Just like the other said that participating bounties are just a waste of time and you have no assurance of getting rewards after. Of if there is but unfortunately, it just got stuck on your wallet because it can't be traded.

Reputable or known managers could really make some impact on bounty's success or payment which they could really able to make up some follow up on project team about on the said paymentI would suggest not expect much from bounty participation.

but if we do speak about value of the coin then its none of their control thats why as a bounty hunter then you should really make out some research on which project does have potential
and would really be worth for your time and effort on advertising them or making out some exposure.No one could really make out some precise point out on which one considering
on how many projects currently in the market and into those who are newly launching or funding then it would be the toughest thing of all.

I heard that some bounties fail to pay participants at the end of work. Considering this senerio, how can one know which bounty is a good to participate in?
It's not just some but most. Most of the bounties this day haven't lived up to expectations. In the past (I know of 2017/18) it wasn't so. Now, it doesn't matter who is managing it as even reputable campaign managers have all had their share of failed and scammed projects. So, you may not even get anything better by simply relying on a manager. I tell you, none of the managers can tell you of a bounty that is credible. Even whole managing these bounties, managers aren't too sure. In the past I used to think BMs could be used as yardsticks for picking and enrolling in bounties. Sadly, this day, exposure has taught veteran members otherwise and that's why you hardly see high ranked constructive users in bounties. Enrolling in bounties is more of an unmitigated risk.

...as mentioned above sometime research doesnot comes with a good suggestion.
I think if we are able to discover good tools than things will be a bit better for searchers.

I don't their is anyway you can know if a bounty will pay or not, the only wey inwhich hunters can be assured of their payment is if the reward is been escrow by bounty manager. I know their are some reputable bounty managers in the forum which always make their research about about a project before they accept to run a bounty for them, but even those managers still fail to get hunters their payment. If you want to participate in bounty campaign always make sure you work with a reputable bounty managers I believe that will help you.
The knowledge of understanding the bounty that is real and the one that is fake bounty can not be easily be detectable by any of the participants. The only person who can detect it is the manager who the contract is been given to manage the contract, because from the deal the manager can sense some atoms of fake management or lack of fund capacity to carry on the campaign. So manager is the person who will voice out the campaign is fake if the fund is been given before launching of the campaign.

I think that's because there are less or no ico's after it. I noticed that most of those ico projects that conducts bounty are high paying compared to now but the only downside is that ico's are also very risky. A bounty hunter can work for 3 to 6 months and sometimes can't get paid because the ico have failed or the project is a scam. Bounty and gambling can be the same in terms of risk but if there are difference, that is bounties are done freely but in gambling you will need a capital to be able to earn.@OP
The only way to know a good bounty is of course by doing some researching and then try to join bounties which are managed by high leveled/reputable members. Goodluck!
I heard that some bounties fail to pay participants at the end of work. Considering this senerio, how can one know which bounty is a good to participate in?
In my opinion the most important factor is the campaign manager, most of those campaigns that do not pay their members are managed by newbie campaign manager or by the owners of the campaigns themselves, so they have nothing to lose if the campaign turns to be a scam, however if the campaign is managed by someone that has spent years trying to do a good job as a campaign manager then they have something to lose and as such they will make their best effort so their participants are paid.team itself if they would really be paying or not in the end of the said bounty.
Even if you are a good manager if they are intending or having changed plans about not paying then including you would really be also on the list on not getting paid but as manager you should
really do your part on introducing good projects but of course due to lots of projects in the market this would really be always the challenge.
AS a bounty hunter then the best thing to be done is to make some in depth research on a project and decide whether its worth or not.

Can't really know for sure. The only thing that's honestly worth the time is signature campaigns, or you get a job instead. Bounties have mostly been a waste of time for a while now.
Bounty don't not really pay like before, most bounties that are run currently are just scam project maybe that's why most reputable bounty managers are not really managing any project currently. We are currently in bear market so most coin won't really want to market their coins now because they believe people won't buy, I believe before you can see few projects that will pay well now is when their is bull run. Also most bounties always pay less because lots of people are now cheating in bounty campaigns, you will see one user with 5 - 10 accounts which is always against the campaign rules. so if you are having just one account you will receive just little amount. I think the best thing the OP should do is just to rank up and join a signature campaign and just forget about bounty.
