Have zero clue about these bounty campaigns but how much money could you realistically earn a month doing this now? What about back then when it was popular?

I've read a lot of peoples comments on here and I see that many are rich that's why they are saying bounty isn't rewarding as before, that's a big lie, a project from Cryptopreneurbrainboss named sphere gives people over 400$ for a 4weeks campaign, I believe this is the first I've seen this year that paid that much, not all projects will bring money but some are fine with even 100$ per month.

Those that earn up to $400 from sphere bounty should be signature participants with the rank of senior member and above if am not mistaken. You can't be a social media bounty hunter and expect to earn big no matter how much money is allocated for bounty hunters.

Having said that, bounty is a complete waste of time. The only bounty that is worth doing is the one the project decides to pay in bitcoin, not with their tokens. Only but few bounty campaigns have offered to pay in BTC

Some of the member here or newbie want to create an account just to be part of the bounty campaign because some of them having a hard time to earn merits so they take the bounty than having a takes a lot of effort to earn merit. Nothing wrong to participate in these but make sure the one who manage is already reputable to make sure there's no scam might happen in the future. For me still ideal is with the campaign of signature and btc payment because it is already have a good value and not wait to the alt to have valuable or not.

Any member that understands the essence of growth as a gradual process and not just an immediate gratification means will in no way get themselves involved in bounty hunt.
Or just maybe they don't have any good ideas to bring to the table, perhaps, they don't know the benefits that comes with growing throw the ranks how it outweighs any bounty pay both in knowledge and financially.

It is true that you can earn money from bounties if it is legit but as you have known that most bounties are scam. You can't stop them from joining bounties if they want and I do understand your advice which is to stop newbies waste their time on scam bounties. Anyway, it's not just bounties that you can participate to earn money. I have tried participating in bug bounties which if you can find one then you will get rewarded. I also tried testing casino, lottery which I earn money but that was before.

99% of all bounties are wasting a time for both sides, hunters and owners.
About bounty worthless, I would rather say that it is due to the poor quality of the project itself. on top of all that the whole project starts without start-up capital or with a very small amount, no wonder the prizes are worthless.

I have taken a very long break participating in bounties (except the one I have in my signature who is paying consistently and steadily). But of course, bounties are the reason why it kickstarted my crypto career years ago, so I'll never forget where I actually came from. A bounty hunter.

Gone are the glory days of 2017 where any bounty gives us huge money to cashout. But it doesn't mean that all bounties are trash, but most of them are. We just have to dig deeper and find a gem there despite the risks for both time and money.

Bounty is not waste of time, there are still some bounty's that pays the hunters but due to much participants in the campaign could end up gain little amount of payments which some managers like bounty detective, Brainboss kept limiting their participants from participating to avoid waste of time an energy. I can only encourage most bounty hunters to participate on those bounty's that would pays in BTC or Usdt and even BNB. Any other campaign with their local currencies should be take off from their budgets, although it depends on the campaign if is already listed on exchange then they might enroll.

Thats depend on you how to become active here and used your time. Yes there are bounty hunters whom wasted time on posting just for sake to earn money but not all hunters are like that. There are some whose still remains as human and talk like one and were able to continue a good standing here. It does not mean that if you are bounty hunter your only purpose is to interact due to monetization alone but become an active member too contributing to this forum.

The bounty hunters on the forums are a lot like the people on Twitter, it's a huge army. The purpose is simple - to make money.

I don't think they will understand. They just come to the forum only to hunt bounties. They don't think what the benefits of the forum. They just watch a video or read a blog and come to the forum and just start hunting the bounties.

Bounty hunter only look at the news bounties. And you will see that they don't read about project and apply for the bounty.

They think if they get one good bounty out of 10 they are successful. (This is my point of view others may disagree)

There are some bounty manager who are doing good job and always run real bounties.

@BountyDetective this bounty manager mostly give reward in stable coins. And I think this is better than to get bounty coins/tokens.

What is "real bounties" ? Not a single bounty manager can guarantee a good outcome. Even managers that you have mentioned have bounties that has ended with nothing. All of them have bounties that ended well, and bounties that has ended with "waiting for distribution from the team". There is only one thing you can be sure with them - the management of campaign will be on top level.

My point is - join bounties just for fun and dont expect much from it. If you get a reward, you should be happy, if this altcoins is traded, you should be double happy.

The era of bounties is far gone. Bounty is a complete waste of time. If you had noticed recently, bounties are not forthcoming and some reputable bounty managers like Yahoo62278, Hhampuz and CryptopreneurBrainboss have put a hold on managing bounties. Based on the market conditions and the scam project that is on the rise in the crypto space.

a waste of time for those who carelessly follow the campaign. I guess some bounty managers don't delay their bounty campaigns. but they think more about doing due diligence on the project before launching it.
the launched campaign must be really good and will not disappoint the participants.
I still believe not all bounty campaigns are bad. there are times when serious projects with sufficient capital can make bounty participants happy.

It's quite funny that a good number of bounty hunters are dependent on bounty projects for survival and they don't care to research the projects they are promoting.

not something funny because we've seen it now. it is real. and that's what makes bounty hunters manage more of their farm accounts to join the bounty campaign and get more results from the bounty.
if they participate with one account, it does seem funny to survive. but if they join dozens of accounts, of course, it won't be funny anymore.

OP you are currently promoting the Roobet project why are you telling others to avoid all bounties? Roobet is a gambling platform and you are paid in BTC 🤷‍♀️, the account you are referring to took things too far by submitting links to Twitter posts only, meaning they don't give a damn about contributing and engaging in discussions on the forum but saying people should avoid bounties is wrong.

You can't compare a signature campaign that pays out it's participants in BTC and a bounty campaign that pays with a token that even hasn't been listed yet. And the chance of it ever been listed isn't great.
Though I'm not saying that all bounty are waste of time but the fact that bounty hunter ain't even ready to research a project before taking part in it and later end up wasting their time.
And if the project eventually turns out to be legit, imagine a campaign that's willing to pay $5000 for a Twitter campaign that will run for 8 weeks having more than a thousand participants, and at the end each participants will receive at most $6 for their eight weeks work.

I don't support the idea that all newbies should avoid bounties. Why should they? Bounties are also part of what is keeping the forum going. Only advice them to be smart and research so that they will not promote scam companies.
Talking about the pay, some new companies don't have money to fund their promotion. It will not be totally wrong to help promote a genuine project without being paid for it. Some people are promoting bitcoin clean up for free. Everything is not about money.

Bounty is now an outdated means of earnings on this forum, but in the last couple of year's back quite a good number of old members here can attest to the fact that there was an altcoin boom that lead to the rise of bounty hunting, I know a good number of reputable managers on this forum that have launched bounty campaign that pays users huge return.

But lately, the altcoin market has become more or less a Ponzi scheme that only promises 10x profits that may never come.

We shouldn't compare reputable signature campaigns with some random bounty campaign for the numerous tokens that pop up every day. Unfortunately, the large majority of users participating in such bounty campaigns do not actually care if they're promoting a legit service or token. They are only in it for some quick bucks in case the token explodes in price. Although, we've also seen the exact same pattern with 1xBit's users. As Lucius already pointed out, thanks to the introduction of the merit system, these users will never rank up, prohibiting them from even applying for a decent signature campaign and spamming other sections of the forum as well.

Market condition that's the major reason why quality campaign has seize to to come to the forum. Atleast for me those contacting aren't giving me enough reason to accept their projects especially as they aren't willing to escrow well established coins like Bitcoin or stablecoin for their campaign. My last profitable campaign was 👉 {Paid} Seasonal Tokens Campaign | Budget: $50k ~ BTC | 8 weeks. ESCROWED. Profitable because the hunters got the reward worth their investment into making the campaign a success. The campaign was a success because after the end of the first campaign, the project came asking for another promotion which was later (close to the bear market) closed as the results weren't as decent as the first time.

In time like this (Bear market) those that participate in bounties should seize promotions of campaign or better still do your research before engaging with any project. No monetary opportunity on the forum should be consider a full time working job as you'll be disappointed, consider them a privilege and don't abuse them. Instead make good use of the skills you have to make a career for yourself in the industry. And if you don't have any useful skills, make good use of the bear season to go learn something that can be useful to the industry and you won't regret it.

My hope is that bounty hunters, instead of blindly doing bounty tasks, will at least read few lines of a project they are promoting. Instead of click-click-click-repeat, they would read something, memorize or try to analyze what is in the market right now. Then it will be easier to select a project they would promote. Instead of promoting already a 1000th dex exchange, move-to-earn game, meme token or marketplace, they would focus on really something new.

It's not always as easy as it seems, it can take a long time to be accepted into a good bounty campaign, so in order to get results now, many decide to start clicking right now around where there is such an opportunity, so that at least some part of their clicks will bring some result. Everyone has their own working strategy.

Risky? I would say it is not risky, bounty hunter only spends time and in exchange he gets knowledge, experience. Hunter creates his own vision of what is demanded, and what is useless based on projects he has taken part. And next time, when he sees a new token on a presale, by knowing that decentralized blockchains are in demand (just an example), he would invest there, but not in new move-2-earn project.

Are you sure today's bounty hunters will listen to your words? what they are doing now is registering a bounty campaign blindly without knowing the project they are in.

I agree that not all projects of token payout bounty campaigns should be avoided. some pay well and even give big payouts.
I just wish bounty hunters were more selective in choosing their projects. so they don't waste time.

Instead of promoting already a 1000th dex exchange, move-to-earn game, meme token or marketplace, they would focus on really something new.

That analyzing aspect will gone if they participate on social media campaigns since they can join as many as they want and will not carry much the mindset that they will get paid since mostly they just hit all of them then try to see of which of those projects will pay them. But in signature and other bounty category which can be join by one only maybe they will be choosy to join since there sweat and effort is valuable so they really need to read the introduction of the project as well the whitepaper to see if the project is reliable and if they have chance to get paid by them.

if we look at the current bounty section, especially those who participate in social media campaigns, they don't really care about the projects they participate in, what they know is that when a new project appears they have to join in it.

I do not support 100% for you to prohibit newbies from avoiding all altcoin-paid projects, some projects pay well even though most end up being scams and just a waste of participants' time. what you have to remind to newbies is that they must more selective in choosing the campaigns they participate in because not all new project campaigns pay well.

Being more selective in choosing bounty campaigns will help beginners find bounty projects that actually pay them off. There are many ways to do research on each project and it is important to know about the bounty project. Not all projects that pay altcoins are bad, there are some projects that do pay but they are small, because the allocation for social media campaigns carried out by newbies is very limited and many participants join.
But if the manager doesn't regulate about depositing social media links, then the bounty thread will become a place for link deposit spam and this will also damage the reputation of the account and it will be difficult to develop.

basically follow bounty projects that have been researched in advance, make sure they pay the right amount and don't make the forum a mega spam thread.
