Topic: Pain of bounty hunters - page 17. (Read 156889 times)

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

The respect aspect can be achieved as far the hunters are willing to respect themselves to command respect to themselves. But when you say they shouldn't be judge that can't be made possible. Judgement is needed in their line of business as those judgements are what makes them better in promoting the project they have enrolled to promote. You don't expect a manager seeing things not be done right and don't expect immediate judgement on that users and possibly correct him.

They make up their own rules and policy to handle the bounty hunter. If they want to maintain their reputation and credibility as a new project, they should be more careful in keeping their promises. The injustice they do to their promoters will have a major impact on public trust.

But it can't be helped, because there are no rules governing it so we can't do anything but be more careful in choosing projects. 

I'm used to it, as a bounty hunter always blamed when the price drops, and in the end the tokens / coins I get are worthless. But it's still better than a project that delays distribution for a long time and when the token will be distributed suddenly we are required to KYC.

I totally agree with what OP had said. Most of the time bounty hunters are blamed for why projects die, but the truth is bounty hunters are the ones who promoted and exposed the project which helped during the pre-sale. They are always blamed, most of the time they are paid lower or even none for their hard work. Bounty hunting is a gamble since there is no assurance if your effort will be rewarded justly by the end of the campaign.

Bounty hunting is on a sad state right now because bounty hunting always got the blame whenever there is a dump, the latest is the YOUC project, where some people are blaming bounty hunters for the dump, if the project is good it will eventually recover it's price now YOUC is fast recovering it's price, the project is promising it's only a matter of time before it recover it's highest price.
