I'm really sorry for you, a translator friend of mine translated many beautiful projects and thanks to this job he bought a nice house. You're a not little lucky.

Obviously your friend was here for years or I shall say for the last two years, I mean that's really a box office for bounties and early members really gain a lot of course if they use it properly, and I'm lucky to be part of that era. Grin

Likewise, just accept that bounties that are bountiful are over and we're still like hoping that we can catch a good one.

I'm a bountyhunter, or better: I was.  Roll Eyes

I'm a translator & did a sig or two.

In one year I made about 15 translations.  Some were just ANN, some ANN + BOUNTY & some including WP.  So what was my ROI?

I spent about 3-15 hours/project.
I researched for 1 hour/project
I spent about 3 hours/project communicating & reading Telegram/BTT

Just some facts:

3 out of 15 projects actually released a coin that is worth something.
I made about 50$/hour ranging from >1k$/hour in december 2017 to almost nothing these days (that's why I stopped)
3 projects were proven scams
7 more projects are still 'pending' with an inclination towards being scams/dead projects.
50% of the money comes from 1 project
40% of the money comes from another project
I had to wait 1 month for the most profitable bounty.
I'm waiting for more than 6 months for about 10 projects (of which I assume I will get noting from at least Cool

SO: was it worthwile?  yes  BUT only thanks to the crazy bullrun.  Would I recommend people for participating in bounties NOW?  HELL no...

Such problems occur very often with me and several other participants. if we conclude this is our risk, bounty hunters. therefore, problems like i don't stop us from hunting for prizes....

Finally someone who recognized that they only made money from bounties because of the bullrun. This is the same realization that people should have made when they made x100 or x1000 from ICOs and altcoins and bloody tokens, that any idiot who bought almost anything would have made some profits, but this had nothing to do with skill, or project worthiness or whatever, pure luck thanks to the bullrun.

Don't stay off bounties or projects though, simply because you thought they are useless. If I find an ICO I like now, I'd still put my money in it!

I can relate your sentiments as we are in same situation. The market condition has hurt as all and this is the reason that I will not recommend to my friend to do a full time in cryptocurrency. If the situation will continue with next year, it will tougher for us to survive.

I also turned 1+ year and my early days are exciting even until now despite of the bear markets. Honestly I'm very picky when it comes to joining campaign because as bounty hunters we all have responsibilities on what we promote online. I'm not discourage even my holdings are worth a penny now patience is a virtue as they say and its not always Christmas everyday, maybe after all these storms there will be a shining light for those who believe but don't keep shitcoins. Thanks for sharing your experience anyway.

Some where smart enough to think before joining and putting efforts, we should really know were we engaging our time, translating is nice with decent profit as long as the project will be successful.

in my opinion this year I was very disappointed with the bounty campaign compared to last year.
on the grounds that there are more and more campaigns going on now, and that affects many campaigns that are scam, or not paying, different from last year, little is going on, but it is proven to pay.
so for this year's revenue decreased for bounty campaign seekers

right, bro, for this year it was very bitter and very disappointing with many scam and softcap projects that were not achieved, this achievement was very different from last year, I feel a lot of failed projects that I follow now
this is bad, but worse if we lose enthusiasm and confidence. like trading emotions really determines your profits. there must be a new plan, a new strategy in joining the bounty. be patient and continue to work.
yes indeed we have to work harder, there must be a new strategy that we have to plan so that we don't go directly to scam projects, so we don't waste time because of unclear projects.

As I can see in your experienced, you are a hardworking bounty hunter. And I admired your dedication and determination you applied for those activities you've made it before mate. Though, almost the whole year of 2018 was really frustrating for the bounty hunters, but we do nothing about it only we need to wait on the right time. But honestly speaking, the ICO bounty campaign now are good compare last month of October dude, that's what I saw. So let us still be bullish on the coins we hold so far.

You have a good portfolio experienced for less than two 2 years, I understand your disappointment and frustration you've faced a couples of months waiting were in one day the bounty which you joined in before will send you a reward, but sad to say still so far is not giving any payment. But you know what even the situation was too harsh I'm not giving up mate I still continued what I had started here, in fact since 2017 I still have 8 project bounties I joined were up to now is not distributing a rewards, though I'm not relying on it actually, whether they pay or not my work must go on, because this is where my resources came from.

Even with lower payments 50$/hour according to your estimations it is too much for translator, don't you think so?
Basicly translators earn less and your ROI is higher. Also 13 translations isn't that much considering it as a main job, so estimate it as an additional income.

Bounties of todays compared into last years is really entirely different and old bounty hunters can really tell the difference of now and on last years when it comes to profit making.
Remembering where bounty programs do last up on 1month - 2 months max but now due to market condition they extend and horribly reach even on 6 months waiting and as a bounty hunter
you arent even sure if you do waste up your time or not on promoting or doing task to the project.

Your rank is so high that you can easily achieve success when you join a signature, but we are only a fraction of you.
He has a high ranking, and he is a translator. That's why he can earn 50$ per hour, It's really huge. But in the 2018 everything is not smooth, and the bounty is the same. Most failures and delays cause many people to get discouraged and want to give up

I sell them without reading the whitepaper.

When doing marketing activities for a company, maybe it's good to read the whitepaper or watch how they handle things, I think it's easy because you are working for them. Not understanding the company your working on is worst, why are you working for a stranger? Better understand the project first so you could decide whether it's worthy or not to get involved with them.

Nevertheless, I am very thankful for this extra cash.  I live in a first world country with a decent wage were this money is just some fun extra.  I can imagine that this kind of money is lifechanging for peope in third world countries.  I hope for them it was anyaway.  Given the amount of money that could be made and still can be made, though a lot less, I still wonder why there aren't 100.000's of buntyhunters.

I don't think the days of the big gains will return.  Crypto is more known now and if there's free money involved, it will atract so much bountyhunters (and crooks) that the profits will be flattened anyway, even in a bullrun.

I think in 2018 that was very hard to make a good money out of bounties since many progects never touched their hardcap also a lot of coins and tokens went down in the price and I'm pretty sure it affected on their marketing budget , I hope it gets better in 2019!

Thank you for sharing this. Not many people keep track of all these things. I started a few bounties last year, for fun more than for anything else,,, and realized later on that it was not really something I enjoyed. Plus I got spammed so heavily on all of my channels I quit most of them.

I still read a lot and participate in some smaller community channels. And I still stick to signature campaigns, mainly because this is what I do anyway.

Like you said, people thought it was an amazing thing, but this was only because of the bull run.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I guess there are other bounty hunters that has the same experience.

But I think there are more bounties that has been profitable for all of you during the bull run. And after that, most of the bounties became scam and the devs of it aren't serious of distributing their tokens and even their stakes to their bounty hunters.

Yes, making money with bounties is not easy.
I notice that again and again, since i have not earned anything yet and i am currently participating in my third signature campaign.
Should this again bring no profit, i will give it up.

Everyone has different opinion and ideas about the bounty. SOme people may be stuck in the bounty and then left because bounty is no longer promising as in the last year. However, some people are still struggling to participate in bounty with all risks. Because still believe that bounty will face it the awesome era in the future. I myself still be part of bounty campaign and I love it.

Bounty is time-consuming without any doubt, but it is not really fair to compare the actual situation with the last year 2017. Nowadays the whole crypto market is down, and especially Ethereum price which dropped to 200$ compared to 1000$ or above the last year. This affected badly the ICO projects which use mainly the ETH smart contract platform.

Sometimes I think that we are all a little bit crazy). Just one year of the downtrend and we are all in panic. If we look to it from the other side: ETH was 0-100 many years and now it worth 200!! it's amazing growth actually.

I have been involved in the money market for a long time. And now my nick has reached a high level. So the level when I join the bounty is very low points and sometimes not paid bonuses. This made me very depressed. Now you want to raise your nick it takes time.

Not a lot of bounty hunters would proudly refer to themselves by that title nowadays. Earnings from bounties have significantly reduced to the extent they've become ridiculous. It's becoming extremely difficult to make something tangible out of bounties anymore. Recently I received tokens from a project I participated in, and the after waiting for months to receive payment, value of the tokens was a paltry $12. I just smiled and pretended I didn't see it. But hey, it is what it is..

Well, a lot of hunters abandon market because of overall depression. That's not bad for newcomers.

Besides, the old hunters could come back quickly (this is just a matter of few clicks) to their previous 'bounty job specialization' if Bullrun happens again.

You should be very thankful because your rank is Senior and you have experienced that very awesome tings and earning. If i were you, I will probably do the same. But, I was too late entering in the crypto and I am here right now. I still survive with my adventures, better called my risky adventures. Yeah, I still participate in bounty, signature campaign and sometimes do the content creation. So far, I think I have joined in 4 signature campaigns and only one of them that have given the payment for me. The least, still waiting for the distribution. It's so funny. But I try to enjoy this because this is my decision to enter in crypto world.

The only thing my senior got me was a chance to do translations quickly.  Translations is were my bountymoney was made, not sigs.  They were often peanuts compared to the translations (as they should be, translations take way more time).

Besides: I'm sick of these 'I need 100 words for my bountymanager so I talk crap all day'-posts that ruined the forum.  There: LESS than 100 words lol.  Grin

Well, you were lucky but some people are also never gonna stop bounties. Even with this marker sentiments, some bounties get pooled in with so many hunters.

it was amazing that my adventures followed the bounty, I kept working with bounties and there were lots of twists and turns that were faced, namely there were some bounties that I followed and could not be paid for maybe they could be called ICO scams, but on the other hand I already got quite a lot of money by following the bounty, and I was very happy.

I'm a bountyhunter, or better: I was.  Roll Eyes

I'm a translator & did a sig or two.

In one year I made about 15 translations.  Some were just ANN, some ANN + BOUNTY & some including WP.  So what was my ROI?

I spent about 3-15 hours/project.
I researched for 1 hour/project
I spent about 3 hours/project communicating & reading Telegram/BTT

Just some facts:

3 out of 15 projects actually released a coin that is worth something.
I made about 50$/hour ranging from >1k$/hour in december 2017 to almost nothing these days (that's why I stopped)
3 projects were proven scams
7 more projects are still 'pending' with an inclination towards being scams/dead projects.
50% of the money comes from 1 project
40% of the money comes from another project
I had to wait 1 month for the most profitable bounty.
I'm waiting for more than 6 months for about 10 projects (of which I assume I will get noting from at least Cool

SO: was it worthwile?  yes  BUT only thanks to the crazy bullrun.  Would I recommend people for participating in bounties NOW?  HELL no...
