Topic: Pain of bounty hunters (Read 156897 times)

I like it when projects write "listed on coinmarketcap" or used to write "listed on etherdelta". This instantly triggers that there is something wrong with them. I dont think that it is hard to get listed on coinmarketcap. All you have to do is to fill the form properly, be honest, be real. And imo, those who display that "they are listed on coinmarketcap", they somehow display that they already cheated somehow. Like look, we are so shady, but we managed to get a place on coinmarketcap and now we are cool.

Few bounty campaign title as X token/coins are already listed. You may think positive about the bounty program but as soon as rewards starts distributing tokens are getting dump. This is old method, so the hunters also get sense not to join such bounties to avoid further losses. Hunters must be more aware, won't join any campaigns without reading the instructions and also calculate the reward whether it would be profitable or not.

I think all things we experienced in joning bounty campaign is natural nature of life , in this world having difficulties in life is part of being human, that's why we don't need to be upset because of what happen to day, just remember if you put many tomatoes in one basket few of them are not good just like bounties campaign here in this forum.

this thread somehow comforts my wound a Lil bit. Thank you for your thoughtful words and your willingness to see to bounty hunter's side even if you're not one of them anymore. I really really appreciate it. As a real bounty hunter, I only have 1 account of social media for doing each project, I try to do my task right and I try my best to communicate with the bounty manager or developers well. However, many obstacles I faced, from banned accounts to unpaid bounties, I've learned my lesson so hard it was tiring me so much. I decided to be more chill, if not it will affect my sanity. 

Indeed its not the manager's fault why there's a delayed on distribution or if the project turn out to be a shit project or a scam.

Because the bounty manager is also doing his part to manage the bounty and should not be held liable for any problem when it comes to payment and the progress of the project.

The dev is the one responsible. Thats why we need to be more wise when choosing where to participate because many projects are really not worth for our time and effort.

I do not think that bounty manager ignore the bounty hunters. The bounty managers want to pay all the bounty hunters on time and also wish the project to succeed but all the delay in token distribution is from the Project team. In most cases, bounty managers have no control over the project as they are only doing the job as bounty manager.

Its true that hunters often have to suffers lot. Many project owners deny to gives reward without any reason. But at first every project making noise loudly, do promises & giving positive hope to hunters and inspire lot to promote their project. After raise targeted money though token sale by using hunters, they forget everything and start making excuses for not giving reward to hunters. It's okey if scam project and don't pay but top project brake theirs promise, that isn't expected from them

I would like to make it clear that I have been a bounty hunter, bounty manager, and part of project management for various projects and this is not to support the bounty hunters but rather to show the reality how bounty hunters and what they go through in this forum.

I know it's not easy to manage a bounty campaign as you will receive thousands of messages from irritating users, there will be hundreds of fake entries in the spreadsheet then you real users disputing that they didn't receive stakes because some imposters have entered their address against the real user's name and sometimes bounty managers or dev team's response would not be the politest one.

But at the same time there are hundreds of hardworking bounty hunters who work really hard in the hope that their efforts would be rewarded but all the efforts are shadowed by the wrongdoings of few cheap users with fake accounts who bombard, spam the bounty groups and harass bounty managers as a result whole bounty hunter community is looked with suspicious and selfish.

Bounty tokens contribute a very small portion of the total supply if we look at the percentage of tokens which are traded but still bounty hunters are blamed for dumping the market with cheap price, regardless of the price bounty hunters sell the tokens if the project is good then the price will not be affected or even if it's affected it will eventually recover without much loss but they are blamed for dump wherein it's sometimes investors who dump the token for quick profit.

The worst part is when tokens are locked for bounty hunters and only distributed to them when the market is already broken by investors, after their efforts and ill-treatment in the hands of such bounties they finally receive worthless tokens which would be a loss even if they trade as the tokens will not even worth the GAS fee charged in MEW wallet to transfer it.

I urge all the management and bounty managers to treat bounty hunters with respect and they shouldn't be judged.


I have made a similar article about the pain of bounty managers and here is the link you may read it and understand I have seen both the phases

Most members and bounty managers ignore bounty hunters. I saw you to give respect to bounty hunters. Bounty hunters are blamed if a project fails. But if successful, no one talks about the contribution of bounty hunters. Bounty hunters work hard for a little reward. And everyone seems to be trying very hard to deprive them of that reward.

True, but for Escrow it has long been applied to campaigns that have payments in the form of BTC, USD and ETH, but it would be better if this was applied to all new bounties whose payments were in the form of the project token itself.

there was dump then blaming the bounty hunter has become a common thing for me and it will continue to experience such insults forever because it is  trick investors are trying to make a dump and they are trying to make buyback

some people will get irritated if they recall what they have missed, for example promoting a project for a long time but getting paid very little or maybe not getting paid at all. That's what makes most bounty hunters grumpy and don't always think calmly. if you fail on a project you can try another project, of course, with a failure analysis of the previous project.
