Topic: My wish for bounty projects that seem impossible - page 5. (Read 1209 times)
In Ergo we have many issues in GitHub labelled with bounties (in Ergs), e.g. issues with 100-Erg bounty attached https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22B-100+Erg%22
Alot of people want the forum to let Bounty hold in btc or stable coin, but I have a different view.
I think bounty managers have to get Bounty tokens escrowed before announcing the Bounties , either native token, or bitcoin or eth, get it escrowed.

This is just a wish, I hoped for it and asked around but yet it seem impossible, the best thing in ever wished for on this forum is bounty projects should start paying in bitcoin or stable coins to bounty hunters, doing this will avoid dumping their tokens buh .... I guess its not going to work since most new projects have no money to do so. they are better off paying hunters in their very own token, damn!
Some already do and some have been for a while. But as long as there are people willing to give zero-quality and zero value shilling and spamming, then there's always going to be token hunters. And come on, you'd be dumping it all if you can as well if you could, wouldn't you?
Alternative: get a job, but bitcoin;)
that's not a bad hope, I personally have something in common or hope that it can happen to bounty hunters and in that way we will no longer worry about falling tokens after being listed on their exchanges. but if all projects make payments using btc & stable then it will not be an ICO project anymore, because the aim of each ICO project is to develop their own coins and offer them to the public.
Well there are some campaigns that pay BTC. If you wish to be paid in BTC, its your best option. Somehow though altcoins are the only they can afford to pay since its the one they created. I guess its just a matter of treating the tokens we receive as investment for long term than BTC that can be traded right there and then.
My wish is that the team who will now start creating to become real ones with real project and has plans to make it in the future.
If every bounties keep paying bounty hunters on bitcoin then what is the meaning of the promotion? doesn't make sense, the bounties that deserves to pay bounty hunters in bitcoin are old project bounties that are already trading on multiple exchanges
If we can have a bounty campaign paying in btc and ETH then it will be lovely because it will be certain that after every campaign there will be a reward

There is an altcoin sometime that pay bitcoin are you familiar with XXcoin? This altcoin ICO have their bounty cmapaign paid in btc but unfortunately you cannot join this cause your rank is low and only senior rank and above can participate with it. Yes I know that frustrating but altcoin projects rarely do this cause as you know their just raising their funds yet and hunters cant expect them to pay in bitcoin.
This is impossible few projects pay in Bitcoin and stable coins but they're signature campaigns which has limit of rank. Most projects are scams and as such they will not pay in stable coins.

You already answered and tell on whats the reality of most projects.They dont have the money to spend on for marketing thats
why they do pay up for useless tokens in the end of the day.
Its really impossible for majority to take that course, there were some who do pay eth or btc but finding them are very difficult or simply
does come out on unusual cases.
That was a problem until in the end the bounty hunter did not get a decent value with the tokens received and even most of the others did not get paid. Indeed, it is not something that can be expected anymore on this issue and although the industry continues to grow but it still will not have a good impact for the bounty project to use bitcoin as payment, because the reason developers don't use bitcoin as payment is about how they support tokens which they will release.
There were bounty projects that paid in bitcoin in the past and it's with a reputable manager. Yeah, might be a budget thing why they are not paying now with btc.
This is their possible mindset = No need to pull out money of their pockets to pay people if they can simply pay out of their own tokens and depend on chances with its value depending on its sale.

Actually the wish of yours is very different and i have never seen a post like this so this also attracts me, but brother the problem if a bounty project wants to promote itself they must offer their own coins, if they offer BTC what is point of their project promotion ? although this is a very good idea but i dont think any project will adopt this.

It's really impossible to happen mate simply because it's non sense at all. How ironic that you are promoting a particular token and then use different coin for the payment, isn't it 
? Here's my advice, if you really want to earn a valuable coin (which is btc of course) then go to the Services section and look for signature campaigns there. Actually, there are ICO promotions there before but now I noticed that most of the campaigns there are now related to gambling sites. Good luck 
. 
You got it right, they don't have fund to pay for their participants specially the number of the participants increased from time to time and if they serious about having a good advertisement they would consider running a campaign that pays in cryptocurrency.
But the things is that most of the projects today are worthless just like their coin and most of them are frauds which are trying their best in order for someone to invest to them and scam them, we should be careful on the bounty projects we are joining most of them are worthless so choose what's worth working for.

For bitcoin payments isn't it been there a long time? , but usually only bounty signatures that hold this kind of thing and the rest are only contests for stablecoin payments also exist, but it's outside of bitcointalk and also I observe the allocation is small, but if you expect projects from ico, ieo, sto do bounty using btc or stablecoin apart from in the signature campaign, do not ever expect because it looks like this hope is difficult to achieve.

We can conclude that the project is legit and serious if they start paying their bounty hunters in Bitcoin and ethereum, but unfortunately like what you've mentioned they do not have the funds or the money to start with, all they have is the IOU token, that will took months or even years to have value or not all, this is the risk bounty hunters are facing.
If you perfectly understand that your hopes are not destined to come true why then you voice them. As you have already correctly noted, the project needs funds to pay for your work.
Reading the fact that the fundraising can go just awful, as a result of which the project will not even enter the market,
what is the point for developers to allocate funds from their own pocket to pay for an advertising campaign that may not to bear fruit?

Really it is great idea to get a payment in btc or any other stable coins because it will be safer side for all bounty hunters but in reality 99 % bounty campaign will pay their own tokens or coins in that 80 % tokens are shitcoins after they hit exchange also. so better to understand and check any bounty campaigns is genuine or not then we can promote them.

This was one of the proposals put forward by many senior members a few years ago. The bounties would be much more attractive, if 10% or 20% of the payout is made in either Bitcoin or Ethereum. But the proposal was rejected saying that it will have a negative impact on the financial health of the project. Anyway, bounties are getting obsolete nowadays and only the most inexperienced members are joining them.
