It's called bounty hunting for a reason and that's because there is no guarantee of getting anything in return, if you can't accept this you have no place in bounty hunting space, quit and leave already, taking the task of a bounty hunter without knowing what's all about is wrong

1. Before promoting any bounty try to accept the fact that not all bounties will keep their promises.
2. Your research skills will bring you closer to new promising project, so don't choose bounties randomly or because of their allocations
3. It's better and safer to find bounties from high reputable bounty managers, they mostly keep their promises
You really noticed and told everything very accurately. But I can make a small amendment to your word. The Bounty manager can not always be a guarantee of the decency of the project developers. I personally encountered a problem when the TenTum project team deceived Not only the bounty hunters, but also the bounty manager.
I knew about temtum bounty campaign, I heard the team decide to implement and force bounty hunters to do KYC, those who failed to submit ID are left out, this isn't bounty managers fault, it's the project team fault for not staying true to their words

You can't keep getting positive results from every bounties you join, some will do you right and some will be so mean, you just have to accept the pain and keep trying, if you are looking for a solution to this you are wasting your time, bounties is all about luck now even if you are too good at doing research

I have experienced many things while hunting for bounty prizes, when I joined one of the bounty projects I supported it for almost two months and when the distribution of the project was a scam I was very disappointed.
lots of people here already experienced that kind of scenario, you are lucky enough that you just participated for 2 months, unlike me I experience joining bounty program for almost 5 months and in the end I got nothing. I also experienced that I joined for a couple of months but the reward is not that much.
It's not always about how long the bounty duration lasted for, I've joined a bounty for months and still end up with few dollars, I think 12$ maybe, and there are bounties that will just take you for 4 weeks and you will get a surprising reward in the end

This is not new when scammers using my profile but their ether Addrees! Sometimes they get paid cause manager fail to catch them but if found, then reject both user from the project, which is painful. Sometimes team force manager to create new bounty rules! Like "user must leave comment on telegram & annonucment thread" that's totally illegal and crime of thread bumping. User get red trust for follow those rules.

Some very basic precautions can prevent this type of scamming. Experienced campaign managers always ask the users to put their ERC-20 address on the "Location" section of the Bitcointalk profile. This measure takes just 2 seconds and it surprises me that there are campaign managers who don't bother about it. Anyway, imposing a blanket ban is always time saving than identifying the potential cheaters.

but if users have to leave comments on telegram & announcement threads, I think this is too good in order to prevent scammers who often steal data from other bounty participants.
I think it's not just to catch scammers, but to make the group look active so it can attract lots of investors,
and actually the number of participants is not the reason BM fail in managing as long as the team that is holding the campaign anticipates every bad thing that will happen, this is something that must be done for the project to be successful.

Bounty hunters spend their time to promote the project. Time also costs money.
Bounty hunters should not agree to work for tokens of new projects that are not yet traded on the exchanges. Because they do not cost anything and quite often it turns out that bounty hunters work for free.
As soon as bounty hunters start to appreciate their time and stop working for tokens, they will be valued much better.

The problem is that 95 % of the bounties do offer tokens that are not listed on major exchanges. In 2017-2018, I participated in more than 30 bounties, only 1 got listed on binance ...
These days, interesting and good bounties are rarely found...

That's why so many good posters prefer to participate in bounty campaigns where payment is made in bitcoins. Payment in tokens is always a risk, primarily the risk that the tokens of the project will cost cheap. However, sometimes there are really big rewards among such projects.
Personally, I prefer not to risk working for those who pay with promises.

blamed bounty hunters for the dumping of any coins is not reasonable for me
Most times when there's a huge token allocation to the bounty campaign, I think bounty hunters can dump the price of the token a little after their tokens are been distributed and they sell, but I feel it's not the fault of bounty hunters, cus most times the team behind the project just don't give enough to the project to make it a success,and it's really sad how most bounty hunters are treated, I think only a few number of bounty managers actually care about the participants, some bounty managers just go ahead to manage any project that comes their way, not minding if its going to be profitable for the bounty hunters or not.

Bounty is full of uncertainty so it's best you keep doing because the one you neglect today maybe the one to give you what you want and theost anticipated one to pay well may end up not helping out. So I always tell people to keep trying and also check group because some bounties do close without anyone's knowledge. It's kinda painful though.

Participating in bounties is like doing a volunteer job or doing worj just to get experience or knowledge. You dont sign any contracts, no one forces you to participate, no one makes a 100% promise to pay and you can leave when ever you want.

It is weard to read posts from hunters, that they demand something from project/project must pay/they work hard/every work must be rewarded, while all they do is join telegram channel and subscribe projects medium account or have done few click in twitter.

As time has shown, there is no perfect algorithm for everyone to be happy: bounty hunters, BM and the project. And in these conditions, the only way out for us is a strict approach to the analysis of the project, although it does not give a 100% guarantee

There should be rules and regulations that will be fair to both the hunters and thee managers. Most times the managers are the ones taking most of the heat while he hunters are at the receiving end.

Take it or leave it, most times the projects you promote will have a bad ending, I meant it's not every time you will get rewards from the projects you promote, most of them won't give you anything in return so take bounties as side hustle, don't take it serious like a real job
It isn't a real job, the person pursuing it probably won't have the money to cover living expenses. Most bounty hunters probably only work in their freetime because they may not get anything after a few months of work.

I think everyone must be fair and respectful to all parties including the bounty hunter, bounty manager, project owner, we know that currently the situation is very difficult for bounty hunters and bounty managers, and bounty managers only obey the orders of the project owner, we also cannot judge bounty manager, and I think the bounty manager must innovate in distributing payments such as the DIA and CTSI bounty managers in the next 3 months, if they don't want to dump the tokens

Of course, I would like something to start to change for the better, but, unfortunately, this does not happen at our desire. The bounty manager does not decide how to distribute tokens. When and how much to distribute in DIA and CTSI projects was up to the project managers, not bubbalex.

Its only logical the Bounty Hunters deserve respect since everybody needs respect BUT it would be hard for Bounty Hunters to be respected if they are labeled to not be trusted. That is why we have our Trust System which is effective for most Bounty Managers to manage the hunters properly. These platforms should also start being examined by a legitimate group of reviewers so most Bounty Hunters can look for which project is to be trusted.

When discussing the pain of a bounty hunter, of course, payment has no value at all in the market,
that's what makes me disappointed, but now I'm sure the bounty will grow better,
It's a risk, but if it's like that then it's useless to be a bounty hunter, that's what bounty hunter pain.
every job, of course, has a risk. And I think every bounty hunter knows all that. the risk is known and remains a bounty hunter I think it is a thought that has been done deeply. when we join the campaign we must be prepared for the risks. In fact, when there are ups and downs of projects that can be worked on, bounty campaigns are always there and are an option for those who are loyal.

Abundance trackers are left powerless by numerous ventures and their missions since they need to work ahead of time and following quite a while of work the group can essentially deny trackers, some will play deferring strategies. Now and then the sentiment of disillusionment is available when the undertaking we are dealing with encounters disappointment and extortion, this is a danger we should confront and from that we should be more cautious in picking an abundance venture for us to chip away at to evade misrepresentation.

2 Months?my first Bounty engagement lasts for 6 months meaning that is half a year mate.

But what happened?after reaching the HardCap?lol the team runs away and even the Bounty Manager did not receive His payments,thats why I stay away from bouties and focus here in Bitcoin paying bounties.
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.
