I know that scam bounty projects still shows up on this forum from time to time but after managing to promote the bounty that's not a scam you end up with very low bounty reward, why ? I think the problem about bounties is we have too few bounty campaigns and too many bounty hunters
I don't think that's the problem. Its all about the intent. Contrary to above, I can give you many examples where the bounty campaigns with low participants failed to provide a stage for the project to attract investors.
Just if bounty managers and project teams can start limiting bounty hunters the reward will still be fair enough, how can 500 participants share 3000$ bounty allocation?
That will be fair for the bounty hunters but will it for the project? Why would they choose to limit participants when they can get more hunters into room to participate? We could but they also need to promotion to work properly and with higher no. of participants they can get some good marketing and buzz.
Where are the bounties with fixed bounty allocations? After doing some digging on past bounty campaigns I noticed many of them have fixed rewards, this is good or limited participants
Fixed bounty rewards are good if the project is willing to spend some extra or are willing to pour some good money into marketing. Fixed bounty is little risky for the projects since there is possibility that the expense could go out of hand if no of. participants go higher.
In this case, I would say limiting participants along with fixed bounty could do the work.
