As a new bounty hunter ( mainly local traduction ) I wanted to know if bounties are really profitable. It's true the amount for bounty participation are ofter huge and seems unbelievable ! But the risk is to never received it or never be listed on exchanges if the project fall down right?
I participated in 4 for the moment, and it's to soon to see if I'm going to receive something or not.
I wanted to know if bounty hunters with experiences could give us their feedback about it & how they choose the good bounty campaign?
And maybe (yes I know I want a lot of things ahah) how they manage them? It's better to sold it immediately (tokens listed often take value fast) or hold it hoping one or two in the lot will be the new Bitcoin. (And especially its growth rate..)
For my part, as my rank is still low I focus on bounty not really known with low participation to optimize my chance to be selected. Or I have to confess... I refresh the bounty bitcointalk thread and jump as soon as I saw a new one !
Otherwise to give my opinion on the subject, I think it's as your investment portfolio, secret is diversification. It's good to participated to great project who have a good chance to succeed & distribute tokens with value to bounty hunters. (But the profit will be certainly low because of the numbers of participation => stakes will have low value). But maybe small project with low participation could be really profitable too. Of course the chance to make profit and received tokens with value after the bounty campaign is low. But if they succeed to be listed & succeed in the realization of their project, because of the weak amount of participation the stakes will represent so much more tokens !
Even if they often actualized the total amount of the bounty pool.
Looking forward to discuss about that & have your feedback / experiences on the subject guys thanks
