You can directly point fingers at altcoins alone, when looking at cryptocurrency,
We've to constantly factor in the fact that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that isn't an altcoin. However, we still have to remember that it isn't all roses for Bitcoin also. It has had its numerous downtown too. It's currently having it now. However, Bitcoin has an ability to reinvent itself in a way whenever it crashes. That attribute is what most altcoins don't have. It's not as if there aren't the bad in Bitcoin too. Like you rightly stated, altcoins also have their good side too. In fact, to tell you the truth; alts give better ROI on a short term than Bitcoin investment.

You can directly point fingers at altcoins alone, when looking at cryptocurrency, it's quite understood that the business is made of risky. It involves of profit and lost because it independable currency that no one is regulating it's adoption and it's acceleration. Many people always emphasis of negative impact of altcoins while the positive impact of altcoins they find it very difficult to narrates it development over profit, yes i can concur that altcoins is made of different projects of good and bad, and that's why it's left for us to peruse and scrutinized into the coin we want to invest with before venturing into it. People used one characteristic of negative challenges of altcoins to generalized all

Yeah the bounty section can be full of spamming and alot of shit but bro that same bounty section help promote most of the altcoin. In as bad as we want that section out of this forum it is also important to this forum in one way or the other, of course most of the people who participated in that forum are those who don't really want to learn anything about bitcoin, but still they have their importance too.

For what it's worth, I think the newbies you warn to stay away from bounty hunting are the ones who flock there for that same purpose. Participating in bounties gives most newbies and lazy posters that false feeling that they can earn something from the forum even without ranking up. This is why most users who do bounties hardly get merits. Their posts are mostly peopled with links and reports for their bounty tasks. I make bold to say once more that unless the mods and admins step into this issue, the bounty section will continue to be spam and scam hive.
When you participate in bounties, you do not earn merit; instead, you receive worthless tokens after working spamming for a period of time. There are a few legitimate bounties that can pay you little, but the majority of them always end up as a scam project, so don't waste your time participating in bounties.

It has been a long time since I don't check the bounty sections. Yeah, this spam happens due to the high number of new projects coming and being created. Well, there may be some certain projects that really have the dedication to grow up, created and developed more seriously by all teams, and being listed in top coins with certain good progress of their market cap and volume, moreover, they may be some good projects with strong fundamentals.
however, I cannot deny that after visiting again, most are spams of new projects. But, as usual, there are still many participants joining, moreover if we look at how the bounty thread is managed with some reports for each campaign.

Users that only participating on Bounty nowadays are those low rank, low quality posters and None Bitcointalk user that just using the forum to participate and submit there report. Yoi should leave that secrion if you find it unprofitable and stop wasting time joining any of them. There are still some campaign there that is legit if you will do the dilligence on researching all the campaign thread 1 by 1.

You are implying to abolish those thread which is not possible at all since there are still legit campaign launching there.
Actually some of them are not totally newbies. They are in here before stayed for a long time but what we saw on their profile is that they are still newbies cause they are not contributing well to this forum all they want is to gain money from the. Bounty campaigns without knowing that they are the best examples of spammer and a shit poster with low quality of the post. Maybe they are not thinking about our community.

my major worries was is the area of security of funds and investment and I realized that altcoins are the worst investment even though some of them are good most others are just junk and scammy

Bounty is truly loaded with varieties of uncertainties about many cryptocurrencies since that is the only avenue for their massive display and site attraction, I don't blame many victims of bounty because they lack the understanding of what's all about it and things at stake if involved, yet you will see many investors going on been proud about thier bounty investment, a good example is as having your coins on the blockchain but lacking the accessible keys to it through your wallets address, anything that has more risk than benefits should be totally avoided.

I also was a victim few months ago, but all thanks now that I found some other interesting forums like this particular one, apart of the bounty section been scammy it is also boring, you just keep on repeating same thing over and over again over some piece of coin which may even end up been a scam.

In my opinion the only way for newbies to stop spamming in this bounty board is to restrict them to this board and allow members and above only, as I observed 95% in bounty board is newbies and spamming everyday joining shitcoin projects without research first, Imagine some newbie managers in that section are also launching fake campaigns.   
There are no such rules prohibiting newbies to spam and posting on bounty boards, and perhaps, they are free to do so. Ignoring this board is the best option rather than restricting newbies to visit and spam there. It is soon they realize what they are doing and hopefully, they will change their style or else, they live forever as a spammer and a scammer.

It is sometimes I've visited the board but yes, you can't find any helpful things there.

If they are restricted in certain boards they will just find another one which they are allowed to do it again that's why this kind of solution may somehow not work in long term, And maybe its time for bounty managers to check the weekly performance of their participants and find relevance on their post or maybe require certain merit counts on them before they can join. If they don't care and didn't try those suggestion given maybe this spamming show will continue.

I feel most people on the bounty section are those who don't want to Learn and those who don't want to read and learn about new things, God bounty is so boring and static, well if you don't want to learn about new things you will enjoy that section because you just have to do same thing over and over again.

Didn't need reason for that, it's just that obvious. Anyhow, bounty hunters there and projects themselves just kind of cancel each other out. Efforts and payments there are worthless.
I hope you don't forget if we are to count the bounty campaign the project you work for will be included.

You got me, should have put 'most' there, so you could count some exceptions.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
To be honest and though it might sound silly or weird, I have never visited the bounty board in the forum and I cannot actually locate where it is, but for sure I know it should be a sub board under altcoins.
From when I joined the forum newly, I saw that all kinds of spam are attributed to bounties and also the forum frowns at spams. I decided to distance myself from the board not even to visit.
What convinced my decision more was when I saw a member of this forum who has 1000+ activity but no single merit. Making the person still a newbie. I laughed it off and went my way.

If any good thing is coming from there, someone inform me please.

It is a hit or miss now unlike back in 2017 when ICOs were still like booming. Scammers would just take advantage of any sorts of trends out there.
For some bounty hunters, what would you expect from them if they were only after the money?  Some of them just do not care about the project at all and would just go for their authentication post if that is still even the norm in that section.
I have a feeling that some of them are even bots.

Projects come here to promote their project with worthless tokens, and hunters are here to earn these tokens. But the actual story is different, project come for free marketing and increase social media activity. Hunters buy social media followers and spam around. So it's become very common things to not pay hunters or the project itself is a scam. So yes, the whole bounty section is just full of spam. I don't visit that section if no urgency.
That's what's been happening all along in the bounty section although some bounty hunters actually get paid for their efforts. I'm not saying it's too bad especially if the projects are really serious about wanting to develop, but most of them don't live up to what they were intended to end up badly for forums and bounty hunters.

For one reason I've also stayed away from that part in recent years because the effort and results just don't seem worth it. The bounty hunters who were so focused there were completely unaware that they had wasted enough time without having had the opportunity to learn something far more lucrative.

The best approach you can take if you are interested in bounties is to find someone who is using escrows or managers here in the forum. In that way, you can be assured that you would get paid for what you did or have a better understanding of the project so that they learn how to adapt to the forum.

Imagine being a forum member, and you don't know if it is worth it to go through the tasks because of the untrustworthiness of the project. It's going to be a risk, then.

Make sure to DYOR before anything else.

Is it about taking on one's social media about an altcoin in order to get paid, perhaps joining a Telegram group in order to get paid?
Yeah, those are some of the tasks. Social media campaigns require the hunters to like, tweet, post, retweet, follow, comment, etc., etc. But you also have things like article writing, translation campaigns, making YouTube videos, artwork, and so on. Not really sure what else they have come up with in the meantime. maybe Telegram and reddit posting considering that the two are quite popular in the crypto space.

Best thing of all, there are no guarantees you will ever get paid. You work for stakes and it all depends on how well the crowdfunding/ICO/ITO/whatever it is now goes. So in theory, your "work" can be rewarded with $1, $10, or $1000. Although, it's highly unlikely you will get anything close to $1000.

Do they even use escrow?  Roll Eyes
I think some bounty manager require that the bounty allocation is paid into their address and then they post an address where the community can check it. But there is no traditional escrow as far as I know.

Despite how disturbed and spamming some bounty may look trust me you cant remove them from this forum because they are part of the cryptocurrency movement and I hope you guys remember that some of the great projects and altcoins we have in the market today once had their bounty on this forum (which Binance is one of them).
If it happens that the bounty area is flooding with spam, the next thing is a solution is not to blacklist or place a danger sign on the bounty section.

I agree that the bounty section is a litter of spam, who knows, maybe bounty managers in the next bull decide to run campaigns with less spam.

I realized that altcoins are the worst investment even though some of them are good most others are just junk and scammy, and the section that has been infested with this junk is the bounty market place where almost everything are posted there to be honest I don't see the advantage of that section cause recently it becomes almost impossible to fine a legit bounty on that section but yet the various bounty threads are updated with links from hunters who know nothing about the projects just posting to get bounty payment that some time never come and are base on promises from scamming team.

Who even trusts hunters when they are shilling for a project? isn't it worse when someone more influenced like Musk shills for Dogecoin? many have invested in Doge because of him and his tweets, I believe they are now at a serious loss.

however, I would say that fake promotions like bounty programs are not unique to crypto projects.

Honestly idk why people still do altcoin bounties. I'd honestly just rather work at McDonalds; far far more worth the money and the experience(social skills?). And I actually get to have a good excuse to leave the house!
That's good, but sometimes people have a sense of satisfaction.  Perhaps bounty players are happy to bet with the rewards they receive. The point is to bet that the prize will be money or it will be a worthless prize.
I think that topic is also still in one forum we should respect it. To the extent that what they do is still within the rules of the Forum it will not matter.  Perhaps the members get traction from the topic of making money from bounty. Although I think all of that is still ashes there is no certainty as to what they will receive.

Actually, scammers have found their place to enjoy and benefit from the market, and that is the bounty section. It is really disappointing how this section become the scam section but yes, nobody has been able to stop them, they are rooting already in the forum. Too much to see but this is how it looks. It's up to us if we ignore this or keep seeing countless useless bounties. But I'd rather not, I think we do some help by simply give giving awareness to the people about those projects that potentially scam.

I don't blame Altcoin boards or worthless token makers, I realize this forum was created to be as free as possible to discuss crypto, Bounties are part of a type of crypto called tokens, of course they need investors who are interested in investing.

Maybe all bounty hunters, must be aware, the bounty project industry, which is just coming out, most of them do it without capital or with minimal capital, they always expect from investors to enter their industry and make investments, for that for bounty hunters do research wisely before joining and advertising their project, In my opinion, instead of advertising a new project that is not clear, it is better if you want to continue to advertise for bounties, look for projects that have been listed on one of the exchanges, to prevent fraud, projects that are already listed your chances of hunters and investors are better than the industry starting from 0.

Bottom line: be careful about advertising new bounty projects, unless they have funds held in third parties.

It is no secret to everyone that participating in a bounty is most often associated with many alternative accounts. These people look like robots to me. Nevertheless, they agree that they are not interested in learning and further development or they are incapable. But they amuse themselves with their stupid tokens, which lie like dead weight in their wallets.

The section on bounties and announcements of alternative coins can be easily ignored, especially for those who are unnerved by them, and thus save your nervous system.
For sure you would see most newbie accounts connected in those Bounty campaign even submitting same wallet address to get the rewards in form of tokens or so called stakes according to their work.They just want to collect garbage tokens as much they can with their alt social media accounts and posting about them so they don't even worry about it as it's only newbie account so even if they get banned they would make some other.But evil fees is good way to stop them to some extent.

But still we see lot of newbies joining these bounty campaign but the problem arises when they start spamming on other sections of the forum just to rank up but as they lag the capability and knowledge they only make posts which doesn't make any sense but still we see lot of them on the forum.

I'm not certain about newbies but I think everyone knows about this section already as a den of scam projects. Though we can't say all of them are worthless but the majority. It is really to say see how this been going to happen in which before, many people got crazy joining bounties as pretty it gives decent rewards but for now, people are started to ignore this section and forgot bounties.

As scam projects have been growing, the more it gives a reason why investors skip investing in new projects, they instead choose the old ones as they are much more reliable and can be trusted.

Actually there isnt. For now, bounty for altcoins can be considered dead. I am once hanging there for good campaign but lately I find it difficult to find ones that are really worth it. So better avoid it. To be honest, there ate much better good campaigns outside of forum than the forum bounties itself.

Before its good but now its completely trash.

Those who still survive and want to work on altcoin bounties are those who are still beginners, don't understand what they are doing.
the longer they follow the altcoin bounty on the condition that they are retweeted on social media etc. it will make them bored because there will be no maximum results. just a waste of time.
To make it not the worst spam, the bounty manager should provide a special form and should not post in the bounty thread so it doesn't get worse.

work at McDonalds a good choice, fun part time job, can interact real with other people. Maybe I'll try if there is a job vacancy

I began to worry about our safety in the cryptocurrency industry,
When you say cryptocurrency, it includes altcoins and those new projects, that are still part of this industry.
Plus another factor is forum didn't moderate scam projects but as a member here, we can raise awareness of scam projects and post them on a Scam Accusation board with valid proof.  I disagree that all of them are scam projects, I saw there are few of them that become successful and give return to the investors.

The problem is that the bounty hunters that should stop promoting once they know it's a scam project.  Look at the 1xbit.com signature campaign, though they know it has multiple scam complaints there's someone promoting them just because to the dollar that they'll get.

Just ignore it for now and help moderators to fight and stop spam through these bounty hunters, click the "Report to moderator" button.

Since I joined the forum I never participated on that section of the forum, however I took a peek at it and I am not quite sure what it is about yet.
I have seen people around the forum saying the bounties are a way to earn some money while having a relatively low rank, so I felt curious I went there but to this day I dont understand fully how it is supposed to work.

Is it about taking on one's social media about an altcoin in order to get paid, perhaps joining a Telegram group in order to get paid? Do they even use escrow?  Roll Eyes

I'd say that if you do not like that section of the forum, just ignore it for now, I am quite sure that there must be a good reason for the admins to let that section to exist to this day. I assume this community is rather about punish individual wrongdoers instead a whole section.  Wink

Bounty boards are made for a purpose, you may categorized them spm, scam for alts and whatnot but they there for a purpose. If you are displeased about them, you can report those scam projects to scam accusation if you have spare time to do so or just ignore them just what above said.

Those boards have stickies warning people about the altcoins, but some people choose to ignore them. Perhaps most accounts participating in bounties are just bots. Sometimes a bounty project would have a warning about it being a scam or it having ended the bounty campaign, but still you would see such accounts applying and making weekly bounty reports in such threads. What do you do to such people? Just leave them to get scammed until they get to their senses.

The Altcoin Bounty section is made up of scam-related posts, and it is one of the reasons we have a large number of newbies on the forum. Most of those newbies contribute nothing to the forum and only focus on bounties. Although our senior colleagues here have stated that Bounties have paid people in the past, it is no longer worth concentrating in the forum.

The solution to spam in the Altcoins Bounty section is simple: Ignore that section altogether. That is what I think most senior members do anyway.
The good thing is that all these report posts are contained in one board, so it does not affect the rest of the forum.
