i have promoted lots of bounties through other bounty platforms like bountyminer and bountyhub but the rewards are very low yet i am glad i don't promote scam projects, the rewards are so low that they are like when you receiving tokens from airdrops campaigns but its better than none, doing research helps me a lot and histories of past bounties help me as well

This is an achievement already if I may say, it is better that you promote projects that are paying low and not scam than to promote projects that will promise you huge reward and then end up not giving you a dime. We have more of projects that are offering big rewards and they know that this is what usually entice most bounty hunters, which we eventually fall victim when we see one.

Another reason why some projects low offer low reward actually now is that they feel they give too much to hunters which they eventually dump the coin when they enter exchange, so I guess they are also using that as regulations, while some projects is because they don’t meet up to hardcap again which has made them to reduce their hardcap drastically.

No, it would be still considered to be just like a scam when you receive a dime to your hardwork and time.Yes, it might be better than nothing at all but recieving less will really act just the same.

Im still amazed that there were still people who do still stick with bounty hunting in spite of all these scam and low payment issues.I cant deny that there are still some good projects but their pays wont really be similar to those we have seen in 2017.

You seriously need to do your research and stop talking shit. Bounty hunters don't need KYC there is no reason for it. You shouldn't even need to give KYC for investing. IF you ever need to give KYC it should be for large amounts. Not $500 you investing. Sorry but that is not a large amount. Criminals launder hundreds of thousands.

You have just said you shouldn't trust a project that doesn't ask KYC so you saying we must trust a project that asks KYC?? Dude anyone can start a project and demand KYC anyone!!!! You want to trust some stranger online? These people don't even use proper KYC services and you want to trust them? If you do give your KYC you must only give it to a proper KYC service so only one person sees the data and once its passed its passed.
Not some random asshole online harddrive.

Now go give your KYC is every bounty you see. You already have heard why people say KYC is a red flag yet you insist its still a good thing. People explained why it is not a good thing but you don't listen.

Well that is a good tips and insights for bounty hunters but in KYC part that's i am not agreeing with you becuase doing kyc poses a significant amount of risks since all of your information is in there your name, address and social security number and sometimes your bank account is listed on your ID so, it is dangerous if hackers and scammers has your documents they use it for loans and others so, i don't join bounty campaigns that deals KYC

I completely agree to require documents with personal numbers and an address for several coins, I think this is unclear, I also try not to participate in such companies, but still have to participate in such companies sometimes, then I only provide driver license data

Yeah most KYC requirements only ask for License and/or Proof Of Address. So I neither one of these really put you at risk for any type of identity theft or financial theft.

In my past experience I quickly jump into the Bounties that had a big amount of allocation event though the manager and the project is unknown to others. in the end the project didn't go well so they just abandoned their bounty participants and so as their plan on the roadmap. If you are an early participant in this kind of industry, you might see what kind of bounties are fake. especially those who are managed by "Needmoney" a manager who didn't do his job to inspect the bounty he promotes. and all of them turned into scams. that's why he got the title the worst bounty manager of 2018 and that title got him to his retirement.

The quality of the projects are beyond the control of bounty campaign managers. It's just that there are some bounty managers who accept projects without turning a page. They often ended up handling a scam project. The bounty section of this forum is full of scams. It is not only needmoney that handled scams. Many managers, popular or not, handling many projects or just one or two, are handling scams. It so happened that needmoney's bounty management services is a little bit more popular than others that projects reach out to them. Even irfan has a lot of scam projects.

That's one thing I don't understand. Why would you manage a campaign for a project that looks even one bit of a scam? You have to know that if it becomes labeled as a scam, then it will destroy your reputation.

I thought it was always common sense, but I guess not. Either way, my goal as a bounty manager is to work with projects that I deem legitimate and have potential for success. I think this is the biggest differentiating factor when it comes to comparing bounty managers and which ones you can trust.

In the telegram, you can track not only the activity of the team, but also the activity of the followers who support the project. To see what questions are most often asked, and if they interested in the product. Well, and, of course, it is important that the team doesn't ignore the questions, and answers as often as possible.

Yeah the activities of the followers is also very important, being part of the telegram group you can easily tell if the followers are genuine of fake, we know most project use bot to populate the number of followers in their telegram group to make it look as though they have large community members, i was part of a project where i had this feeling that most members in that telegram group are either paid or bot members, because with a closer observation of their post you can tell they are not genuine, all they do is sing praises of the project, no criticism or questions about the project development, just things aren't right in there

Everything is on point, never be afraid to ask and research, that is the only time we will know if our effort is worth doing for. We might got all experience now of unpaid bounties this past years, but we should not give up doing bounties also, since we are already here think of it, still many people didn't know that bounties can be rewarding more than our regular job if we happen to find and be accepted in a campaign. It is way challenging now than before but its better than posting nonsense in social media and not being paid at least here there are chance to be paid if we did our assignment in choosing a quality project that will be successful and is able to pay their participant.

So again, depends on what your goal is with a bounty campaign and how protective you are with your personal information. Unfortunately, most of our personal information has already been exposed by other means so you may not be protecting something that you think is actually private.

That's why by continuing to do the same thing will increasingly make your personal data no longer private, let alone provide personal data in an ICO's project that even we do not know the truth or legitimate about their company.
I learned a lot about entering cellphone numbers on a site or giving personal data to other parties, making me often get phone calls or SMS, offering fraud service.
My point is always be careful if we have to give to public about our personal information.

Not into KYC though. It sucks that they can possibly extort you in the end.
Getting involve in the project is good. The team needs cooperation to the community which you are part of. They are not just open to give out for transparency, I have joined a project several times and most of the time, it feels like there is something they hide that when asked they just tell you to wait til you forgot about it.

My basis of judgement in finding the good project in cryptospace, isn't focusing now on the white papers or roadmap of the cryptocurrency. What I am aiming to look is how the projects is managing the situation happening each day a big news is out, through that you can already identify projects that has their real intention in the market. Not just those that goes on the flow and disregarding issues arising such as market price fall of such crypto.

You bring up a good point that I think you were touching on. A team that worries less about the price of their token and more on the development of their product is a team you want to follow. The price will move once the product is being adopted. The only way to increase adoption is by making an attractive product.

With the rise of icos/stos and now ieos we have experienced people making huge money both from investments and bounty but today we need to have a look at the other side of the story, if we analyse the last 2 3 years of bounty campaigns we can easily conclude that majority of campaigns have proven to to dishonest if not scams, either they have not paid hunters or they have reduced rewards and changed rules by the end of campaign or have just went down like exit scams, especially the last one and half year was terrible regarding bounties and number of scams and the situation right now is not very bright either we definitely need to get rid of dishonest projects and campaigns.

As I continue to grow my reputation, I was thinking of building a network of reputable bounty managers and bounty hunters. That way, if you are a hunter of a manager, you can offer your work to either party and hopefully both parties will benefit. This way, only promising projects will receive participation, while the hunters can be reassured they will receive their rewards.

Any thoughts on this?

Especially the number one option on words of wisdom - Join the Telegram Group and start asking questions- most hunters don't find it necessary to join the telegram group of the project they supposedly support, some only join when telegram is made mandatory for all participants otherwise they won't join to follow up on relevant update that could give a clue how serious that project is or appear to be, it is always good to join the telegram group of any project you are supporting to gain more closure about the project, from this group you can tell if the team are active or not, and other helpful hints.

Exactly! Communicating with the team in the Telegram Group gives you a much better understanding of the team over looking them up on LinkedIn or any other resource. It also just gives you a better understanding of the project itself and can help you determine if you want to participate fully with the project or not. Telegram is the main point of contact for startups in this sector and if you really want to get a firsthand glance of what a project is and how it will perform, the Telegram group will provide that.

The telegram community can also be used as an assessment of the activeness of developers in updating their projects and I think developers will be more active in telegrams compared to other social media. And it can be said that the telegram community is the most updated information connector because you can directly ask the developer while other social media are usually managed again by several teams

In the telegram, you can track not only the activity of the team, but also the activity of the followers who support the project. To see what questions are most often asked, and if they interested in the product. Well, and, of course, it is important that the team doesn't ignore the questions, and answers as often as possible.

Great work mate! I hope this would help new hunters to understand how things are done. Besides, I am getting more and more disappointed with bounty campaigns in general and believe that someday we would finally get good rewards.

Thank you very much!

I don't mean to turn this post into a marketing post, however, if you are looking for a new bounty campaign to participate in, I recommend checking out the most recent one I'm managing. The project is called PlanChain and runs on the VeChainThor blockchain. They are still new and very early in their pre-sale stages, but they look to have a promising project and team, so I personally think they are going to do well.

Give it a look and let me know if you have any questions!

PlanChain Bounty Program

You have learned a lot of things about how the crypto bounty system works nowadays, and now you are managing a bounty. This is what every bounty hunters want. A guy who knows the pain of bounty hunters and who wants to give everything at the exact time. I just checked your bounty campaign and I must say Planchain has a good potential to be a successful project. And, I believe this thread will help lots of new bounty hunters to know better about bounty things, so you deserve a merit from me.

Thank you very much for your input and the merit!

The bounty hunting field is a lot more complicated than it should be and is filled with too many scams. I started out as a bounty hunter so I understand all the frustrations that pertain to bounty hunting and my goal is to solve these frustrations as best as possible! This post is only the beginning as I'm hoping to have an extended bounty managing career in the future in which I can create an almost perfect balance between bounty hunters and startups.
