Nowadays doing bounties without a regular job, there is no good projects to join in bounty campaign right now if all wanted to do signature campaign which is also a good opportunity to have a good stakes in bounty,it might take as well the gaming signature campaign, Project bounties will just become a thing of that if investors will continue to buy after losing their moneys.

Making bounties a full time job is not advisable these days since many bounties don't pay much these days. It should be a part time job where you can use some of the money for other stuff.
You can make it your hobby or just a part time activity, but you are right. We have a very difficult situation on the market right now and bounties are not bringing so much money as before. Thats why in my opinion you cannot live only from your bounty earnings at all, especially on the falling market.
Joining in any form of bounties are already considered as part time job here or full time job it depends on your choice.
That's there are lot of bounty hunters here, were they are expecting something in return once they comply the task needed
in every campaign project until it finish.

participating in bounty campaign is just for a freelance job not for main job, because income from the bounty campaign is uncertain and very insufficient for short-term needs
i insist on my full-time job. Bounty is my business hobby. i found a lot of great projects in the bounty activities. i am willing to do something for them. Of course i will also get some rewards, i enjoy it.
Truth be told. You can't be jobless and be doing bounties. You will starve 
My advice is to just see bounties as a pass time and don't be too expectant. Find some other job that gives you money. So many factors determine if you will get good rewards from bounties. For instance, when it lists, the price is out of the control of the team (unless they decide to do a buyback which rarely happens). The price of the token can rise if there is a lot of demand for it when it lists. But most times (since the bear run) the demand is low and to make it worse, several holders set ridiculously low prices just to sell off which devalues the coin.
Another factor that determines your reward is the authenticity as well as the success of the team and its project. Many campaigns have closed down in the past after several months of working on them only to announce that they failed to raise enough funds for the project. Worse case is the team devs exit scam and no one gets paid.
Project owners can also decide to execute their "reserved rights" by changing the rules at the end of successful campaigns. Rules changes can usually mean bounty rewards are reduced, locked, subjected to uninformed KYC checks, or distributed over a very long period of time.
If you consider all this then you will see that bounty campaigns are a gamble and cannot be always relied on to provide regular income for people participating in it. Those that participated in Deex bounty campaign (which ended in January 2019) are still waiting for their rewards (3 months after) and the devs are not communicating any date for the distribution. If you ask them they will say "soon". They have been saying "soon" since January, by the way. I'm not trying to slander the project or anything. I'm just advising fellow bounty hunters to try to get something else to do that will fetch them money and not to rely too much on bounty campaigns for payments.

I totally disagree with you on this, I have a friend who has been out of job for 2yrs now and I introduced him to cryptocurrency. He dedicated to it by running bounty campaigns and for each concluded project, I know how much he makes cos for each project, he does all the campaigns in it and most importantly he doesn't just do anyhow project, he takes his time to research before he embarks on it
What is there to starve about? Before any one joining crypto space they should be aware that its not an instant money making haven but a gradual process to make money ,I'm glad i know what crypto is as I'm able to make good profit even in bear market and I have no other job but crypto 24/7 only
Yeah, based on my experience. Bounty campaigns can be a job but itu doesn't give up exact number of income. It can be high and make you rich in just a couple months or just give you a penny. That's why we should not see bounty as main job, there are a lot real jobs on crypto space. However bounty can be a side-job to give you some additional income.
Of course, it is best to have a permanent job and simultaneously participate in the bounty campaigns of ICO. Participating in ICO bounty campaigns sometimes gives a decent, but non-permanent profit. So, last year was not profitable for bounty hunters at all. We are still working for the future. In order for us not to sell the received new tokens in the bear market for a penny, we need another, permanent source of profit. This, of course, as an ideal option. However, in life there is anything.
Once you become a bounty hunter and join in any bounties, it is automatically you will become a trader whether you like it or not.
Because through this We cannot experience profit if We don't sell it in the market platform. This might be the reason of some people who got here in the forum. They were thinking that through participating in bounty campaign they can earn which is true as long as you comply the task needed for the campaign.

I doubt most bounty hunters expect to become wealthy from their earnings. More likely is that they convert the tokens they earn to bitcoin, which they can either spend or convert to fiat. These are not true believers in bitcoin. It is just a means to an end for most of them.
They are increasingly developing, some of the bounty hunters become traders or they become ICO and IEO investors.yes maybe not all but Bitcoin has changed their livelihood.
You can actually make a lot of money from bounties it just takes a lot of time a very large amount of time to pay off and you need to do many many bountys to get your EV overall
obviously you could never quit your job and just start doing them unless you had a stockpile of money in reserve

As i suggest when you are jobless you should join bounties and hardwork on bounties and earn good amount after that you should little invest trading and buy some tokens or coins.
Jobless people need to find a job for feeding themselves and their family otherwise they need a monthly payment from another source. Freelance jobs are better than working as a bounty hunter who doesn't know the date amount of payment.

joining a bounty campaign is my side job and is useful for leisure time. before working in the bounty campaign I already had a professional job as a security. to fulfill my daily needs I always rely on salaries from security guards. I cannot rely on salaries from bounties as the main income. because the payment from the bounty is uncertain. but sometimes there are also many salaries from bounty when the ICO project that I follow is successful.
Yup that’s the same thing with me, I don’t rely on them as my main job, I have another job I’m doing. I work in an office and I also have a business doing (I have a shop and I have people employed to be working there). Cryptocurrency is the third thing I’m into and I don’t put much stress in it, it’s just like having fun for me. I can invest any money in it and leave it for as long as I want. No one should put all their hopes in cryptocurrency especially now that they take long to make payment. 
Truth be told. You can't be jobless and be doing bounties. You will starve
You must realize that there are probably an abundance of bitcointalk members who are already starving and the income from these bounties perhaps provides them with just enough money to eat. There are some very poor countries where $1 USD stretches 10 times or more than it does in its origin country, the United States. And if you are perplexed that such members resort to creating multiple accounts for the purpose of enrolling in as many bounties as they can manage, you shouldn't be. The work opportunities that ICOs provide are harmful sometimes, to be sure. But let's face it, if you're unemployed with no skills and a hungry family to feed, doing signature campaigns and translations and social media promotions has to be a godsend, and one would be either insane or too pride filled to refuse to do them.
Bounty is not the main job, don't expect bounty will make you rich.

These are not true believers in bitcoin. It is just a means to an end for most of them.People make sufficient funds to pay their bills from investing their time into bounty hunting.
Some of them, I am sure. Attaining a high rank here is much more difficult nowadays because of the merit system. That's a stumbling block for the vast majority of them.
Bounty is not the main job, don't expect bounty will make you rich. although a few years ago the bounty gave a lot of money but that moment happened only once in 2017.
You are right about this. You can't treat bounties as a full time job not even in this bear market when bounties rarely pay and even those that pay do not command good price on the exchange. It is better to have a good job that guarantees stable source of income and do bounties as a side hustle.
No doubt in it. Bounties are exclusively amazing part of crypto world that pay you better amounts for work. Yet, due to up and downs in market, the bounties are affected directly. Henceforth, it is not mostly advice to go for bounties as full time job. People mostly take it on part time. In bear markets, they aren’t mostly helpful and paying you very least ratios. But bull market is healthier otherwise.
