Topic: WHY WE BOUNTY HUNTERS HAVE SUCH A BAD REPUTATION (Read 1357 times)
There are really some people that are stealing works from original workers, this is the reason why I only participate on the bounty that requires you to authenticate your entry by posting it in their bounty thread, bounty manager should set up a guide that they can trace the real owners of the submissions like what btcltcdigger team are doing.
Unfortunately you are right, too often hunters sell their coins too cheap and this leads to price decline . But it is a good opportunity for investors to buy at a low price, below the ico price. You can not scold the hunters that they throw off coins , they want to get their income from the work done . They make advertising project, and without them it would be impossible
I am pretty new to thing bounty hunting thing and the only way I came to know about bounties is by reading this forum.
I am pretty sure what you are saying is entirely true apart from the fact that you are being regionalist towards people in Asia or Africa or whatsoever, no one gives you any right to justify this comment. PS: I am neither from Asia nor from Africa but the way you are putting it does not sound correct.
Personally, for me taking part in a bounty is equivalent to participating in there ICO, If I am not investing my money, I am instead investing my time and time is money my friend, there is no way I will think of dumping a token just because I got it for free *technically*. I value my time as much I value my money.

It's such a shame that although Bounty Hunters do provide value as a community we are really beginning to get a bad name in this Industry. Primarily for two reasons.
1. We dump the tokens we get as soon as they get listed on exchanges. For example, MONEYTOKEN LAUNCHED today on exchanges and it was dumped hardcore, of course, who else other than BOUNTY HUNTERS AND AIRDROP PEEPS. My Hubby also made two videos but he said no way in hell is he literally giving away the coin way below ICO price. We live in Europe as well, so we don't have the cheap living costs many bounty hunters enjoy who live in Asia and Africa. I know we all have to survive, but we are looking more like beggars now in the crypto community with no self-worth. Maybe alot of bounty hunters don't value their time or themselves but come on, way below ICO price you go and dump the tokens, have people no sense?
2. 2nd point is the rampant stealing and cheating. EVERY DAY we are finding idiots trying to claim bounty stakes by impersonating us and stealing our videos or blog reviews. No wonder now so many ICOS are requesting us to do KYC, we are not to be even trusted to do a decent job.
I really think the bounty industry as to be cleaned up and I would prefer it if bounty tokens were like locked up for a few months before we could all mass dump for so cheap and then Investors getting so angry and pissed off at us. I know everyone in crypto is selfish and for himself only but come on being too selfish is actually shooting yourselves and all of us in the foot. We will never get lambos and moons at this rate lol.
Indeed, the bounty hunters must be cream of the crop in the sense that they have a lot of patience and quality of posting and doing works from the campaigns at it finest. As time passes by the number of bounty hunters rises and rises, scams,stealing etc. also rises because of the people who loved to fool others. Maybe there must be right time to clean and choose the proper bounty hunters so that there is no commotion or dilemma will happened anymore. 1.

We reduce the cost of tokens when they enter the exchange, because we are paid a salary in tokens. If the salary were paid in a crypto currency, this would not happen.
I think the price of the ICO will fall below the issue price after listing, which is not what the bounty hunter can do. Perhaps the hunter's sell-off will be one of the reasons, but it will not cause very bad effects. If such a thing happens, it can only prove the weakness of the project.
many bounty hunters dump but not all sell their tokens. bounty hunters have the right to sell their tokens. if they don't want this to happen then they should not do bounty campaigns. but bounty campaigns have a great impact to ICOs because they need it to advertise their ICO. if investor trust the project they should not worry about the price because it will eventually rise.
As bounty hunters, we need also to hold our coins in order to help the community of the project that you've promoted during the campaign. Bad reputations isn't an accurate term for the hunters, but for those greedy person who dumped their asset at huge amount I guess it isn't right for me. That doesn't mean we're going to blame those who ran bounty campaigns but what's going on here was the people isn't learning to control emotions, all they wanted is an easy money. Motivations of saving cryptocurrency is the best options to do to avoid such bad reputations, and prove that hunters have been educated to hold their coins.
That's truly said mate but those who contribute to such bad reputation are the scammers and I think whatever people state about the bounty hunter like us is applicable to those scammers and not us. So we should keep out prestige of hunting to the top quality only. We are the soul point for the ICO publicity and I believe without us these ICO will never ever get their name published within the community and thus their marketing would be vain. I guess there is no point in spoiling the hunting concept just because of few idiots. ;-)
Well, every bad move usually makes those who are still in need of the service to curb those negativeness surrounding bounty. Whether we like it or not, we will always get to see things like this unless we want to start deceiving ourselves.
Humans cannot be the same, as some are trying to make a living investing in the real world, we tend to see hackers trying to steal from them and the same thing happens in the bounty world, where some have just been cursed with the cheating habit that they just think that is the best way to get themselves rich overnight. Apparently, since a solution has been found to most of the problems, I really do not see it as a major challenge for the honest bounty hunters.

I disagree with your opinion because you cannot accuse some people of doing anything, let alone carry the names Asia and Africa because not all prize hunters from that country do the things you mention, and do you know that I often participate in ICO purchases Even though I am currently a prize hunter, and I always hold the tokens I received until I reached the price above the ICO because I know tokens are very valuable assets and certainly will have good value if the company continues to develop.
So don't be wrong with some people so we blame everyone in it because there are still many honest people.

That's a real fact that bounty hunter (not all of them) are always dumping coins right after it enters the market.
But once again, the success of the project, it probably helped by the bounty hunters and the project team must know that
Bounty hunters are beginning to have some bad name though but I do not think you need to lock the tokens of the bounty hunter. A hunter has a right to his tokens just as investor does. To stop the dumping, its best to pay the bunters in etherum. This is definitely going to stop all the dumping in my own opinion
I do not agree a bit about their flip the tokens as soon as it is listed on the exchange. This is their tokens and they need money. They can sell at lower prices than ico but they will regret it if it then increase.
it iss because quantity of spammers and dupes in bounty campaigns. there are so many people that only trying to get the bounty reward but not ssupport the project. for example they join the signature campaigns and start to post useless things on the forum.
All you wrote is so damn true! Bounty hunters are not appreciated by the crypto community. I sell tokens sometimes as soon as a token gets listed, because in a day or two I can buy back twice as cheap.
What concerns content stealing, I think all the managers should do what amazix guys do: just hide the column with the content links on the spreadsheet.

for this matter I disagree, because sometimes we meet when the initial token is not shared the price is very pumped then as if deliberately when the payer for the hunter is distributed then the price seems to be allowed to fall. I think, not all hunters sell tokens instantly and presentation token allocations are also very small to be able to influence the market.
then as if it was made and manipulated, sometimes there are tokens that are dumped in the market as if intentionally so that the hunters spend their tokens which are actually very small allocation and then be accused as dumper only so that the developer can take refuge
This is true mostly of the bounty hunters can easily saying bad reputation because we cannot blamed the efforts of all bounty and expenses of there works, luck of sleepless in the night while in the end the projects will end the admin will not be communicated anymore it so unfair for all the bounty hunters.
I do not think locking up the tokens will make any difference as they will again be dumped as soon as unlocked, personally i never dump below ico price myself, i think more than bounty hunters it is the market condition which force even investors to sell and escape, you know panic selling, so we cannot blame bounty hunters only, we have seen prices going 10x-100x in bull season why dont they blame bounty hunters during bull season.
Well, it can make a little bit of difference in a way.However, it is normal to see this kind of situations when most bounty hunters really care less about the project, does not even have any information about the project to know the price during ICO and they are just ready to dump what they are meant to hold anyway at even a bad price.
Locking up the tokens will at least have been able to get the market to an extent where the support is solid enough to withstand anything, but all the same, I still feel some big time investors who ended up having a lot of bonus at the start of the ICO usually dump their coins or tokens, just to remove the weak hands such as some bounty hunters from the market.
