So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Well sometimes bounty campaign is just a waste of time and effort if you don't choose the right bounty campaign.  But still i participate hoping i can earn even with a small amount.
Not sometimes, always. You can never trust a bounty campaign to be successful in their parent IEO or whatever initial offering it is. There is no end to projects that have failed to deliver and it not wrong because these are not legal securities. Anybody can make up a new altcoin and start making bullshit stories about how it is going to take over the world. Then gather in some spammers as so-called "bounty hunters" and use them to churn out some investors and before you know it the owner sells off their tokens and is never heard of again.

This is the raw breakdown of the scam that have happened till date in majority of altcoin projects. It is not new and so bounty hunters should learn to stop taking part in them and look for other methods if they wish to earn. Invest in bitcoin and develop your own skills, it is a worthy investment if you ask me.

Hunters sometimes are the reason for their misfortune (sorry I have to put it this way) but this is the truth, I just saw a bounty that will be paying reward to hunters after one whole year and guess what! Hunters already jump right in without thinking about the consequences, yes you heard me, one year after listing so probably that could be 2022
Go on and check Radix DLT payment details, if they turn out not to pay after one year, this hunters who participate will then cry and blame team when they did this to themselves.

Waiting too long will bring frustration so better move on and accept that you picked the wrong project so it is possible for us to concentrate on the future projects.
This is the best approach but we can understand the frustration if it's taking longer to accept. But you can't do anything if you will stay on that project and wait for them until they pay. If having an idea that they won't be paying or the pay you get is a bit lower than what you have expected, there is nothing you can do with that. There are more good projects that will come out or if there is no more projects that are good like the older days, keep moving on and it will help you improve picking the correct one.

Can relate. Legit projects that pays something good are so rare after 2018. I think this will continue and eventually the ICO/IEO crazy boom died. But I bet bounties will continue to exist and most people hopefully learn how to choose those with little to no risk. Avoid any bounty that has no escrow, no market, no reputable manager is a golden rule.

No doubt about that. I am sure that there will be another new bounty type, and maybe we will see that the legit project will come to us. But I think it is only a few bounties with escrow agents because they can not pay in bitcoin or fiat money or usdt because they need to gather the money from the investor first so they can allocate the money to the bounty hunter. But I don't know the truth, and that is what I am thinking.
Still token distribution can be applied under escrow's help for that project team should sent the bounty rewards to escrows wallet and then they need to start their bounty which happened in the past with few project which may not give value to the tokens all the time but atleast it can be helpful for the hunters to avoid waiting time.

That will help the bounty hunters, but many projects don't want to use the escrow to handle the payment because they want to distribute the token by themselves. So that makes the situations will be difficult, and mostly, the bounty hunters will have the problem because the token is not distributed after the bounty programs are ending. I hope that the team can solve this problem in the future, and there will be a win-win solution for both sides.

Having an escrow for those tokens? No it doesnt set up that way most of the time and as mentioned the team itself would always be the one whom do decide on how and when the tokens should be distributed.
Lets up put up into example about being paid up but people do receive peanuts in terms of value or doesnt have any value at all in short its totally worthless.There are two possible scenario that can be experienced
neither you do receive some or not because recieving something that doesnt have value is just the same that you dont received anything or shall we say a total worthless thing for you to engage on.
This is why bounty hunting becomes trash but there are still people who do really like to waste up their precious time and effort.

You have exactly explained the situation. It is very unsatisfying if after working hard for more than a month we get almost nothing. But there are some exceptions also. Like CTSI, BET, HEX, and so on. But the list of the unsatisfying project is big. What we can do is move on and continue doing work, of course with our own research and being optimistic, wait for the god results out of our rewards.

You are not the first one I saw complaining about their effort getting wasted or unsatisfied with the reward they get after a long promotion of bounty. Please understand that crowd sale is not as popular as before, so even if projects promise a good reward of their token, it still depends on the outcome of the crowd sale, if the project fail, bounty hunters should not expect to get paid, that's the risk of working in a bounty.

Next move is move on.

If your first aim is to promote projects for money you will surely end up promoting scam projects, if you promote projects based on how good they are you will have less disappointing results, this is just how I see things, I might be wrong

if you follow a bounty that continues to extend your campaign from time to time it's better to avoid it.
it's better to lose a little time than having to get a big loss, because basically their team is not ready to attract investors to get into it, so don't waste valuable time doing something uncertain.

Bounties are becoming more unreliable because of too many account farming most especially social media campaigns like Twitter and Facebook, to make something good out of bounties you should either find a Bitcoin or stable coins paying bounty or find a reliable bounty manager
well now in my opinion there are so many people who have strayed through their own ways why they have to work dishonestly as it makes a lot of accounts to storm the social media bounty and so on what they think will only lead to the desire of others to do things the same and there will be even more dishonest people right

Best of regards to everyone who is experiencing the pandemic history right Now. Quickly let's get on some few gist of working for some bounty projects for 4 to 6 or 12 weeks, maximum 6 month's as a hunter and you ended up getting peanut to what you probably work for.

My take on this should be if some Bounty projects are to go for IEO sales with bigger bonus it should probably be just for IEO sales bounty. Where all rich men ( those that have the money) will just get in and buy up to the amount they want than putting the bounty hunters to work on promoting the project to the world and at the end the richer gets richer; in this sense:

it is also true that during this pandemic the rich or not are all isolated in the house where the rich will invest in their choices, in my personal opinion because those who are isolated usually tend to be active in social media or real,

That is the truth about bounties these days. Receiving peanuts are pretty much the normal payment for the efforts that bounty hunters are doing. The standard has changed a lot overtime and different from the greatest years of bounty hunting and with ICO. As ICO starts to drop, bounties have dropped too because it's the sole resource. If you feel unsatisfied with it, don't exert effort in joining one if you have already the idea how much you will be receiving thus, there is a chance you receive nothing.

how many times that happen that most bounties didnt pay well ? people should already learn from thier past experience because hearing the same complaints over and over again is not funny anymore  but its annoying too  .

and why continue working if your not satisfied  ? id better stop and look for more worth it than continue working effortlesly because that is still the same .  youl only ended up wasting time  .
They want to keep trying and it is them that wants to push it and trying to get some projects if they could still pay somehow after the completion or once the project ended. Even I, I'll also stop if most of the experience that I've got are more of disappointing and I won't try it again.
But as long as there are bounties where people can join, they will keep on trying it until they get a good one that's paying them. They are all expecting it.

Well sometimes bounty campaign is just a waste of time and effort if you don't choose the right bounty campaign.  But still i participate hoping i can earn even with a small amount.
This is why bounty campaign is not suitable to use as your source income or at least you make only side income in bounty campaign, it is not worth anymore.

You can another way to do spend your free time for something useful or you can share your time to make an analyst to some project and the rest you can learn more to gain money.

So far, I use my free time to learn about trading. Since I just laid off in my work I use my free time to learn trading. It is more useful, you may be able to make a profit consistent through trading. As long as you have a capital and you have a knowledge and know the trading environment I bet you will be able to earn $10 per day. That is more worth rather than you spend yours 12 months to just earn $100.

Temporary forum vacation
I am a former bounty hunter (I tried 2 campaigns) so I think I can say my thoughts here. I otherwise take part now only in signature campaigns but for services I also use,,, so I am not really promoting it other than by carrying their signature, which is also a referral link, so I see it more like: supporting the service I use and love, getting referrals (I have earned some decent money from referrals by the way), which is very different from bounty work where you promote a project and get paid for it.

Give this up is my advice. Do not consider this "work" because yes it is work, but it is not activity that gives good value to the industry or the community. This is why you end up unsatisfied. Instead, spend the time on doing actual work not bounty related. Use that income to buy crypto if you really want. And continue to promote or support whichever crypto service you love.

That is how you end up feeling satisfied.

There are many reasons as to why bounty hunters receive small token. In most cases, it is due to higher numbers of participants. From my experience, the higher the number of weeks the bounty campaign runs, the higher the numbers of participants which makes the token allocated for each hunters become low. Also when projects you are being promoted is given bonuses to investors, it has influence on the price when it is listed. It is no more news that investors too engage in dumping token.

Get used  to it and this had been part of the reality on where the rich becomes richer and the poor will always be poor in the end. As a bounty hunter then this is the common risk that you would really able to experience or to face on.

You cant stop those investors not to sell out their stashes once the token get listed and since they do get big amounts of bonuses then dumps is a sure thing.

6 months of working and promoting will really such go to waste. You've been paid up but you do receive tokens that still have questionable possibility of being listed or not.If it does then expect you would get peanuts.
This is why bounty hunters should really realize and stop promoting yet there are lots of better things to be done which is worthy for the time you've spent.

The situation is different than 2017-2018 because almost every project can not succeed. You can see by yourself that nearly all of the projects don't have a good result, and many of the projects have delayed or canceled their phase because the market situation is not good. The developer and the team choose that way because if they still run their project, they will not know what will happen to their project in the fluctuating of the market. They don't want to see their project become useless to people, so they decide to do that.

If some of the bounty people have participated and got a decent amount of returns then consider yourself as lucky and if more than anticipated then just consider it as a super lucky else when you read the forum with those who had just wasted their months on promoting the worthless coins or scam projects you realize you have wasted lot of time for such projects which gave you nothing in the end. So always be careful in choosing the right project or better if do not understand it not to waste much time on such projects.

life on its own is not fair, people use others to get to a position in life, same thing in bounty hunting or investment, the whales are in control of the market, they have the funds to contribute to new projects, they receive big bonus for their contribution and eventually dump on small investors and bounty hunters,
when this dump happen, the blame will be on hunters regardless if the reward for hunters has been distributed or not,
it is like a vicious circle, where the whales buy, sell and re-buy from bellow, there is hardly anything you can do and if you are a hunter and work a long time on a bounty and you get little or nothing from your work, you have to accept it, you can't do anything, even if you try it will still result to same outcome, in other to avoid wasting time on worthless bounties, try and really look for a unique project to campaign for, the market is saturated with shit project hence it is important to look for something worth the time.

Then why you are promoting a project with such huge discount offers?

Better stay away from them and every hunter follow this will really bring some change into the hunters life but no one is ready to sacrifice that peanuts as well.They are still ready to work for months for some cents.

If you only work in one project alone, you'll probably not gonna get a decent amount of reward regardless on the number of months you are working.
The market now is not as attractive as before, yes IEO is better and safer but it has not achieve the kind of success ICO has before, unfortunately  ICO is already dead, so my advise is,  if you are tired working for bounty now, better wait on the altcoins season, as for sure there will be more opportunity that time, or if you still persist, better hold your rewards and wait for the right timing to sell.

Devs will always find ways to attract investors but using too high discounts won't do any good but damages, it doesn't make sense to give up too high discounts, if the project has good utility there is no need for discounts because once the project hits a better exchange the price will rise faster

Which in turn, they accused hunters for dumping because once it rise high like that the huge discounts they gave out will affect them because even if it's $0.0001 that's the gain most of those who bought cheap and with huge discounts won't even bother to sell higher instead the will want to bring it down because they still have the gain they needed.

That's why you need to review and filter the bounty that you want to join. Only join a bounty that had a positive value, higher potential, and also look on the bounty budget, is it look realistic or not, since some project promising huge bounty allocation but in the end it's turning into a peanut. And also don't rely only on a single bounty.

I have a similar experience. Joined and worked in some campaign, most of them didn't provided any reward at all. Of the last year, 9 months were wasted on unyielding bounties. Some claims they didn't raised the needed amount. Some claimed they have cancelled the ICO and would come back sometime later. Some sent some tokens on the account but never got listed on an exchange.

Although a wrong board, I'll give few things that I have learned about bounties over last couple years.

1) Most Ico/ieo bounties are usually trash

2) The bounties which require most work usually are the best (translation/content/signature). Most people go for social media bounties as it's easy to farm accounts there, that's why the pay is trash.

2) if you want to make surefire money with bounties, work hard on ranking up your account and do bounties in services board.

3) if ico/ieo gives huge bonus, it will likely close it's doors soon.

4) avoid bounties which has annonymous teams.

5) Whatver project you work for, always check team work history on LinkedIn.
