Topic: Stake vs Fixed bounty allocation - page 2. (Read 7193 times)
Most new projects are misusing bounty hunters this days and after bounty ends no payment will be received, the ball is in your court spend time to choose wisely, as a bounty hunter you can't rely on research alone, sometimes you can find clues from other existing projects too
There's a fundamental mistake being made with the choice given here. Instead of *any* stake, bounty hunters should be demanding that they get paid in bitcoin or some other crypto that isn't going to be worthless once the bounty is over. These project devs are taking advantage of participants in a big way by offering them stakes which cost them absolutely nothing to give out, and it doesn't matter if its a fixed amount or not.
Does anyone actually hold onto their tokens once they're done with the bounty? I highly doubt recipients actually care much for the projects they help to advertise. That being the case, they ought to be paid in another currency as I said. There are a lot of other things that need changing with respect to bounties, but this is a major one.
Escrow would help reduce scams, but that can't be done with tokens that aren't on the market yet. And yep, devs are taking advantage of that fact as well. You bounty hunters need to smarten up to the tricks being played on you.

I think it depends, Fixed bounty allocation is more suitable for campaign types where a lot participants are cheating, like sosial media & article campaign because the honest participant payment stake doesn't cut by them. And the signature campaign is more suitable to use the stake payment method because it's hard to cheat and trick the manager on this campaign. So I think this is the most ideal method.
Most of bounty this days do not pay you, so looking to stable project first, if the project pay fixed value in short time it will be better, instead of waiting long time and get nothing.
I think I prefer to use fixed bounty allocation because with that provision whatever the number of participants the prize will not be reduced and no longer divided because if using the stake method it will make the allocation of bounties for more when many participants and it will make you disappointed because the results are reduced.
Most of bounty hunters prefer fixed bounty, as you said the bounty will not be reduced and it is good for us. Unlike in stake allocation, wherein the bounty allocated for bounty hunters will be defined depends on the funds they can raise during their ICO. Allocated funds will also be divided depends on the number of bounty hunters, your reward may be lower if that happens. 
Stake allocations have higher rewards than fixed allocation but i just prefer fixed allocation, the token or coin will be divide among all participants based of their ranks and as for other campaigns its equal rewards
Both the systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, with the stake system you will be getting higher payouts if the number of participants is low. However, in case too many people signup for the campaign, then the reward per user will be very low and in the end the bounty hunters will be left with a maximum $5 or $15 worth of tokens.
And one more disadvantage with the stake system is that in case the campaign manager fails to weed out the duplicate entries and bots, then the bounty hunters are going to suffer. This has previously happened to a lot many of the campaigns here and left many of the honest bounty hunters angry and frustrated. If you ask me personally, then I prefer a fixed payment system rather than a stake based one.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages. With the stake bounty, there is the likelihood to earn higher reward when you are fortunate and the participants are low. But one disadvantage is that if the number of entries become too high, you might be receiving as little as $1, especially in social media campaign
Every body who keeps asking for btc payment in bounties don't know that the give away is always from the fund they raise and since the fund hasn't been raises successful it will be hard to predict, only projects that are already trading can give bitcoin as reward to bounty hunters
Fixed bounty is fair for all participant, but as i know many bounty with fixed allocation is not pay hunter higher than stakes based bounty.
that's why even i'm prefer to participate in stakes based bounty than fixed allocation

Actually i'm prefer stakes bounty because if we have more effort than the others, we'll receive more rewards.
But nowdays using too much effort on stakes sometimes ended dissapointedly because the token's price will ended bad in the exchanges.
So, i think it's better doing bounty paid with BTC right now
if the investment trend in the project starts to grow, then I think it would be more profitable to get the gift of a bounty token. so I think it depends on the trends for payment problems
It is hard for a team to fund for a BTC payment because it is a bounty campaign it will depends on the fund that they will collect during the sale and after that, that is the funds that will distributed to the participants that is the concept of bounty campaign it is project based fund.
We cannot find BTC payment anymore now as most of the project has no fund at all, they are just hoping and wishing from the money that they will raised in ICO and IEO, so for me, even though a certain project is good, if they don't even invest a portion of their own fund, I won't trust too, if they can't take risk on it, I won't take risk too.
Fixed bounty is fair for all participant, but as i know many bounty with fixed allocation is not pay hunter higher than stakes based bounty.

With stake allocation you can get more tokens based on the stake and how many participants join the bounty but that's that, the reason why I choose fixed allocation over stake is because right from the start you've know how much tokens you will get and the fact is merely looking or comparing bounties from one to another fixed bounty allocation performs better,they pays most times and no single participants is left out,what do you guys say about this?
Not necessary all the time. It depends on the project itself but in my opinion stake bases bounty allocation is better than fixed bounty allocation since in stake allocation, all of the allocated funds for bounty is guaranteed to be distributed; there should be no discrepancy. On the other hand in fixed bounty allocation, there is always unspent or undistributed bounty funds allocation since the allocated funds are not consumed by all participants who joined. Thus, the excess funds doesn't benefit among bounty partcipants. 
Based on my past experiences, I would rather go for a stake allocation rather than a fixed bounty allocation. When it comes to stake allocation, there is a chance for you to get more token equivalent at the end if there will be lesser amount of participant. Fixed bounty is not that attractive since you already have a fixed and there is no chance for you to get more.
But I don't think right now, it is worth your effort to join these bounty programs paying their tokens or coins. Most of them are going to be abandoned if they haven't raised their targets. Very rare that you can see a project that their bounty participants are satisfied with their share. But in case you find a good one, I think stake allocation is a better deal than fixed bounty allocation.

Personally i have earned better with stakes based bounty, obviously if they have allocated good enough reward for bounty campaigns while fixed tokens campaigns are usually not much rewarding as they pay certain amount of tokens per week which is fixed and i have not yet seen some good reward fixed bounty yet so i prefer stake based campaigns.
The truth is that we all have different experiences with bounties, whether stake based or fixed reward allocations. Stake bounties paid off well in the past but presently things changed. I've done some stake campaigns whereby the total allocation is reduced drastically for some reasons like : few number of people in the campaign or hardcap not met. Lately, fixed reward allocation paid me well since I already know the amount of tokens to expect when I put in the required energy to the bounty. Both are OK, depends on the bounty manager.
There is none of the campaign I cannot join. Inasmuch as the team and the bounty manager are sincere with what they are doing. Stakes most times are more favourable with those that are able to earn more, most especially those with higher ranks,. Also this is what happens to the ones that are fixed.

Fixed allocation is good if the task has the same difficulty all throughout the campaign. Stake is better if you can exceed your qouta. I like stake more because of course I could earn a lot more and exceeding your quota sounds kind of very good to me. At least, it gets to pay you the more you work.
Well it depends. Higher the no. of participants lower will be your stake and that obviously bounty hunters won't like it. Also in case of lower no. of participants their will be higher stake resulting in unevenly high rate of payout which obviously team would resist to pay so many would payout by changing some rules or the structure which will result in conflict.
I think fixed bounty allocation is better way, both for the bounty hunters and the team. I have tested out myself and have seen stake model bounties fail most of the time.
i think this is not fair, but after all i'm prefer to bounty where participant payed based on the stakes than fixed allocation
With stake allocation a hunter is the sole determinant of how much they earn fixed award restricts hunters ability to earn as much as their effort can carry them. Stakes is better than fixed to me because some hunters are more hardworking than others and its stakes rewards to distinguishes them.
Fixed bounty is fair for all participant, but as i know many bounty with fixed allocation is not pay hunter higher than stakes based bounty.
