Topic: Newbies: Stay away and avoid all bounties! - page 2. (Read 903 times)

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.

Are you sure the bounty hunter left the campaign? even after being cheated by the bounty team with allocation cuts or by fraudulent projects. You can still see in the bounty thread the new project and so many participants there too. even most do not hesitate to participate with their many accounts which are clearly against the rules of the campaign.
resuscitating bounty hunters will be difficult. because their goal is to create an account on the forum to follow the bounty. do not discuss and increase knowledge.
if any bounty hunter complains about a project not paying them or an unprofessional bounty team. better ignore it. not many will listen.

For this reason most bounty hunters prefer to leave the bounty because there is nothing more to hope for there, almost everything is trash and participating there will only be a waste of time.
In addition, there are also several successful bounties, in this position the Hunter is always a victim of the greed of the bounty team, they choose to run away with the entire bounty allocation because the price is getting higher. Truly tragic in my opinion.

Bounties are not generally wrong but the fact that most of them scam or defraud others is what makes it completely wrong.

In addition to my above-mentioned statement, bounties generally accept any posts regardless of its quality. This contributes wholly to the overall quality of the forum as a whole- in which these bounties are not properly regulated and checked by their manager.

Unlike bounties, campaign signatures (to which you are referring to OP's act), are heavily regulated and checked by trusted managers. In addition to that, there is proper screening to which only some few are chosen to represent a campaign.

This is, sure enough, moreover if you are still newbies, joining bounties only waste your time because the reward is commonly very small, even worthless compared with the tasks that you are regularly doing every week. Here, we may not be able to compare it with the members with high ranks, they may be worthier to join certain bounties, but if you are still newbies, it is not recommended to join the bounties especially the signature campaign.
However, if you may analyze more about bounties, there may be certain campaigns that may be worthy even if you are newbie or in the lower ranks, such as joining social media with high followers, Content, and other types of social media. But, of course, the result may be different depending on the project itself. Sometimes, the result is very worthy, but mostly again, the results will be very small and worthless.

So, I think that newbies need to learn more again and keep giving contributions to this forum. So, along side that, they can be able to rise up based on merits. So, this will be easier for them to join the signature campaign paid in BTC which is worthier enough for members in this forum.
but once more, never only expect for income from this forum, this forum needs us to always make certain contributuion, not only make us to get the money.

Indeed, not all bounties end tragically. Newbies and old members need to pay attention to which campaign to follow. One thing to remember is to analyze the project before joining the campaign. because this is very important to do. Choosing a campaign that is handled by the top CM is necessary, but project analysis is the priority over everything. Then, avoiding too many bounties is a great point, at least give a time to have a good discussion with other members, who knows from discussion it can bring user to get merit and up in rank to get a chance to join a campaign that is paid with bitcoin in the future.

It's because of users like those above that I still believe some how that the merit system is the best feature theymos has successfully implemented on the forum. So, those users would've ranked up to legendary by default of post counts and activities if it weren't for merit where they haven't been able to earn a single one. More than four years on the forum and active yet they haven't earned just one merit. It's appalling. Perhaps they may be bots.

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.

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.

Why a person should avoid token based bounty campaigns? Not every project that runs a bounty is a trash. There are a lot of promising ideas, interesting background and use cases. The problem of such campaigns is in bad marketing or lack of finances. A person can join a bounty campaign to get knowledge about crypto, its possibilities and etc.


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.

I can't recall how and why I was involved in two bounty campaigns in the past. It wasn't a signature nor a social media campaign; I honestly don't remember, but if I am not mistaken, I was assisting them with something, and in exchange, I'd receive their tokens as a reward. The result? These tokens were never listed on an exchange and were practically of zero value. There goes my time. If I remember correctly, it was somewhere in 2017.

I guess my case sounds slightly worse, I guess, if you take into account that I couldn't even sell them? Sucks either way.

Social media bounties are indeed trash as they are too saturated and easy to farm followers. Regarding traderjoe it's well known avalanche dex — most bounty tokens are bound to get listed on such dexes as they don't require any fee.

How you use your time and become involved in the community depends on you. Although some bounty hunters spend their time posting only to get money, not all hunters are like that. There are some who still act and speak like humans and have maintained their good standing here. It does not imply that if you are a bounty hunter, your only goal is to interact for financial gain; instead, become an active participant in this community by contributing.

avoid token payment bounty campaigns. what the OP is promoting is a signature BTC payout campaign. he is paid weekly. unlike the token payment bounty campaign which has a long duration, but the payment is not clear whether it can be used as money or not.
Participating in a bounty campaign is risky. but anyway for those who want to compete in the signature campaign paid BTC, it's quite difficult.

all back again to yourself. already know the risks of the token payment bounty campaign. so if you insist on following, don't ever complain if in the future you will get losses, such as scam campaigns, payments that don't match the initial allocation, or allocation reductions. even token payments that will have no price.

Agree it was lost already three years ago. I remember that before, only a few would enter the BTC signature campaign because bounties were way more profitable, and you can earn more than in a BTC signature campaign that is in weekly payment, and I was one of them. I migrated from BTC sig camps and joined the bounties. It's because, at that time, I hadn't seen any scams, and it's worth it; your only problem with that is if the token will be listed for a month or the value is too low.

But for today, bounties are a waste of time unless you are willing to waste them; there are still successful bounties, but only a few, and difficult to find them now as they will only last for a while.

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.

Scammers are everywhere and newbies must be able to gauge how genuine these websites may be. One wrong move and you put yourself at risk. The right knowledge and insight will help gain skills that help protect your funds and make you stay one step ahead of everyone. Read all you can to avoid such situations.

You are right, there was Vulcan Forged, Alchemy Pay, HEX, LATTICE, Base Protocol, Amepay, StoBoX and so on, the thing is bounties this days aren't for the lazy, you need to participate in many projects unless they are bad after looking into them from your research perspective, oh I remember Sovryn as well. Do good research and you will have positive results.

I have seen very few projects that run their bounties in BTT and go top in CMC and do something really amazing. I can still remember some big token name that held bounties in the forum. DIA, CARTS, Radix, and Injective Protocol are some of them. There could be more but I can remember only these projects till now. Though most of the projects are worthless forum got a few projects every year that gives hunters really something which motivates them not to leave the work. 

Bounty hunting has lost its golden days and will never be profitable again. The reason why most of the bounty hunters stay away from bounties as there is no decent income that we can get in exchange of our time and efforts. However, if things get back and owners will start to pay us in bitcoin, then why not? Bitcoin will never be useless and won't lose its value in time.
