Topic: Why I Don't Do Bounty Campaigns & Why You Shouldn't Either - page 8. (Read 18332 times)
Imma say you are wrong on your title. Not all projects are shitty projects just like what you have participated. I feel sorry for what you experience. Next time try to search for more good projects, theres still a lot of them paying in eth too.
So a few months ago I did some bounty work for a company called Swachhcoin. Like many of you, I spent countless hours developing and creating posts that highlighted key features of the platform. Fast forward several months...they tell all of us bounty campaign participants that we will have to pass KYC to receive the NEW swachhcoin tokens (SWACHH). My previous Swachhcoin tokens (SCX) are now worth $0 and I will have to do KYC to get my new usable tokens. Also, they set a monthly limit of how many tokens we can sell. We will receive 10% each month to prevent dumping. I like this idea, but NONE of this was presented during the bounty campaign period. I also bought 2 ETH worth of tokens and they've delayed the project at least 2 times! To me, this is unprofessional, ridiculous, and outlandish. Sorry for the rant, but this is the exact reason I've been slowly putting my money into projects that I think have a future. I'm trying to stay away from the bad apples and put some leftover money aside into Bitcoin, Nauticus, Ethereum, EOS, and even XRP.
You have a bad experience from one campaign and that is all? People here are doing 10 bounty campaigns at one time because they know that the succesful ratio is around 1:10. 1 bounty campaign worths and 10 are worthless.

Thank you for sharing the story. This situation belongs to the project side. Almost all the bounty activities do not require KYC. If there is a need, KYC should inform in advance, instead of telling the bounty hunter that KYC is required to obtain the token when the project is ready to pay. 
You're right, but sometimes you have to really lucky to earn from some bounty campaigns. As you said, some of them can make absurd requests. At the end of the campaign, I hate the bounties who is changing rules. But I will continue to participate in the bounties.
Unfortunately, bounty campaigns, as well as investing in ICO are a lottery and we are not protected from changing the terms or fraud. So I can understand the frustration and emotions of many bounty hunters and investors, but there's nothing we can do about it. It remains only to diversify its activities and take part in several projects at the same time.
Its good that you finally realize this thing but we cannot force everyone not to participate on a bounty because they are still earning and they still believe for the future of a specific project. Its our job to make sure that the project is good, don't participate if you doubt about it. Being bounty hunter consist of big risk, so be careful always.
Apart from this swachhcoin how many bounties have you joined that doesn't pay? Just because you joined one that doesn't pay doesn't mean its the end ,why advising others to stay away from bounties? That's not right ,do your research well next time to avoid this kinda shits
they set a monthly limit of how many tokens we can sell. We will receive 10% each month to prevent dumping.
I think I heard this in some ICO because they don't want to see their tokens don't have a good price at the market. I think that is a good idea too, but they don't have to cancel the payment for their participants especially for the investor, they need to distribute the token to them. Without any good reason to delay the project, I think they do not deserve to get success in the future. Everything should have a reason and them to explain to the public why they delay the project.

Joining bounty campaign is the right for every person to do or not, we can't really force anyone to not join bounty campaign cause we had meet one or two bad project, since there are projects that still worth to join even in this condition, all we have to do is find that awesome project to join.

you only referenced to swachcoin. I was expecting to see many other bounty campaign that you have done and reason why I should stop bounty. As a matter of fact you have not even 1 reason why I should stop bounty. Your personal decision has nothing to do with me. You made a selfish decision as far as I am concerned
Bounty participants can reach thousands of accounts, but many of them cheat. for example, using a bot or claiming someone else's work.
for honest participants this is not fair but they cannot do much.

If the bounty you chose is fair, it will pay and will do it in a token that gets listed. That's your part, to choose fair bounties.
Then the token you receive... is a lottery. Some rise, some fall, you cannot know. You will have to have some trader skills, I guess.

It is almost a waste of time participating in bounty campaign as bounty hunters because most of these campaign will just waste your time without any benefit.

Hello, my advice before joining the bounty campaign is that you better choose and ensure a good project. if you have studied and seen projects that you can trust, you can join the bounty campaign. joining a bounty campaign is indeed fun because it can get coins. my advice, if you want to invest, bitcoin is the most suitable place to invest.

If we should be allowed I seriously believe that many of us has many stories to tell on how bounty or projects owners has treated bounty hunters. It is surprised to promote a projects with quality posts and at the end you earn notting. I have many worthless tokens in myetherwallet and most of them are bounty I participate for 3 to 6 months.

So many times have state by a lot of people if you must do a lot of research before participate in the bounty and ico. I was seeing so many suspicious things on swachcoin and that was i have thrown it to the trash. It's a scam.
Yup swachhcoin team's decision is horrible and take note that I joined this bounty as well. However, that is not a reason to stop doing bounty campaigns. Lets face that there are projects out there that really don't care about the bounty hunters but there are also startup projects who are worthy to become successful that need our support.

Swachh totally fucked me too; luckily Nauticus did come through with their bounty campaign
Most bounties now are total waste of time but give me another source to make money in crypto space if not bounties ,I think its best to jeep trying and never give up ,be more careful when doing research on bounties and don't get carried away by huge allocation bounties
Wow this is a solid negative feedback on your part. Im sorry to hear your story but to be honest, bounty isnt a work it is just a free way of earning money. What do you expect, all of them will be successful? You need to pick a good one that will not collapse it is the matter of picking.
