Topic: Pain of bounty hunters - page 10. (Read 156910 times)

Escrow may be safe for bounty hunters but it all depends on the performance of the project itself. It's useless if we receive bounty tokens but the tokens are never traded on the exchange and it's the same we don't get paid for the results of the campaign

The distribution is in batches or after a long period as recently one project Radix bounty ended and now token will be distributed after one year. There must be one platform to solve these problems for hunters.

Absolutely, that is why even if we are not depositing any amount of money and we are earning, we are exerting time and effort for us to make a profit by supporting particular projects at that time. It is one of the lessons that we can use until now that we should consider many things before supporting the particular project because it is indeed true that there are lots of projects out there that are good but still there are scam projects which intend to steal other people's money.

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

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.

Regarding the topic we can say that it's a very interesting subject to discuss but we must go back a little in the past to show some facts. In the last 4 months of 2017 the level of investors and large companies in the crypto has increased absurdly causing many hunters to work insanely (laughs) and I was one of them. However, the amount of account fraud on multiple accounts made many people rich because of the amount of reward they acquired. Another factor that we can analyze is the amount of spam and meaningless messages in the forum so Theymos the administrator of the forum together with the administrative team had the idea to create a system of merit ending once and for all all frauds and greed of the hunters. In season had seen people with 30 accounts and with that.


We see how far human greed goes.

I totally agree with your arguments and suggestions. The golden years for bounty hunter were 2017-2018 then bounty hunter suffering starts and still continue as now the token kept for bounty is very low, The distribution is in batches or after a long period as recently one project Radix bounty ended and now token will be distributed after one year. There must be one platform to solve these problems for hunters.

Only Amepay bounty is paying participants per week in altcoin section, the others are bitcoin paying campaigns and we all know that they accept participants with different rules like

1. If you have no 10 merit since 120 days ago don't join
2. If you haven't been posting in gambling section don't join
3. High ranked members allowed only, no room for members and full members some times

Well, there are still some good bounties though.

Anyway, I have also been used as a Bounty hunter before, and yeah I experience all of that, wherein all the effort I put in was only became in vain after some devs runaway all the funds.

Bitcoin paying bounties was really good however, it is very rare to find one though. I have one strategy on this one, I choose the bounty campaign where to participate depending on the manager who will manage it, if it is handled by a reputable one by then I will definitely join there simply because I don't see any reason to throw their image just for a couple of funds.

Smart hunters won't hesitate to dump their tokens because most bounty projects are not reliable but when they promote quality projects they will want to hold, for example DiA project, some bounty hunters are still holding their tokens because the project isn't a joke

blamed bounty hunters for the dumping of any coins is not reasonable for me
because not all bounty hunters will dump their rewards as soon as possible when the tokens tradeable on exchange
sometimes, the project didn't have enough demands to push the price up and make the price down because more sellers than buyers

When talking about pain of bounty hunters, I sometimes get emotional, because there are so many projects that don't appreciate bounty hunters.
I am most annoyed if the rewards for bounty hunters are postponed or locked, with reason that the sales of tokens have not reached the hard cap.
That's the most annoying excuse in my opinion, but nowadays there are many bounty altcoins that make payments per week. As gambling campaigns
have done, this is good news for bounty hunters.

Professional bounty managers will only handle potential projects and it really analyzes like an investor before investing in one. However, at the moment their current campaign seems inactive and bounty hunters will be willing to quit other campaigns if they have presented a new campaign.
