Hey, guys.
Projects raise millions of dollars in ETH. Participants of the bounty campaigns significantly help them to do this.
Would it be fair if the participants will receive ETH for their work? Or 50 to 50?

Update on April 8, 2018
What would you say about this issue given the current situation in the market?

It has been a long time since the publication of this thread. It seems to me that we have a very interesting discussion here and thank you to everyone who has already expressed his opinion earlier. Let's continue the discussion and maybe we'll even come to some collective action, that will help improve the "game" rules for all ecosystem participants and probably improve the ecosystem itself.


Update on July 14, 2018
To date, we have examples of 4 projects that paid or will pay bounties in ETH (fully or partially) or conducted a poll.

- DAOstack
- LiveTREE
- Exchange Union
- GUTS Tickets (upon completion of the bounty campaign, a closed poll was held among the participants, regarding the form of payment. As a result, payments are made in GET tokens. The results of the poll have not been published yet)

p.s. If you know other examples, please share the information here, even if the bounty campaign has already ended;

PAY ATTENTION
An important thing that all bounty participants should consider, regardless of what form of payment it is, there is no need to support shitty projects or projects that carry no real value and usefulness or are a hundredth copy of the original or especially scam.

The decision should be taken from the users themselves. There should be 3 options form the user could select any one option. Getting the payment in only ETH, only tokens and both 50 - 50. This could benefit the users and the ICOs in a positive way since the flexibility in payments would drive many users to be a part of it and the managers could be then more selective towards the participation of users. If I were to organize a campaign then I would definitely implement this option. The campaign I work for has a similar option to buy back the tokens distributed. LiveTree managed by Sylon has the option where users could sell 50% of their earnings in exchange for ETH. Definitely a great idea.

You will never be paid in the ethereum because they are not profitable for it and it is 100 percent

My vote is no because if project become big your tokens might worth much more then few dollars worth ETH.
If not you will be holder of worthless tokens which happened to me  ;D
It is actually double edged sword.

Your offer is perfect! Must be the right to choose. And I completely agree with you that this is useful both for projects and for supporters and for the ecosystem as a whole.

p.s. Thanks for the example, I will definitely get acquainted with this project.

In my opinion it is not possible to make payment with eth for 99% of icos. Because they mostly do not have enough money so they open a crowdfund. So they mostly do not have enough ethereum to send to bounty participants.

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency which is used only to fund ICOs and create Tokens. After the funding, these project probably sell these ETH which dumps the price down. On the other hand, Ethereum is a unique concept which is revolutionary after Bitcoin itself, so the price might stay same. In addition, these token belongs to a company who have achievements to meet them in the future, and this will reflect on the token price. That's why I voted for 50/50.

it seems that if there is a bounty that offers a choice to the participants this campaign will be very interesting, because not everyone wants to get paid by ETH, depending on the person itself. but I myself prefer to be paid using ETH if I follow to be a bounty participant. but usually the ETH is only used as an ICO funding only, and of course, the average payment will use an existing token

Why not 50 to 50 in such cases? :)

i am not ok for paying bounty hunters with eth because it's investors money!

as investors take risk by investing their money, bounty hunters must take risk and be paid with tokens!

as bounty hunter, i do my own research before participating!

Developers will never agree on this. Because ethereum are real money, and the token price tag is invented by them and they simply give them

I think this is going to be more fair. This will be a very sensible step for both investors and users who participate in bounty campaigns. Investor confidence will increase, while those who want to advertise will be more willing.

I agree with you but look at the situation on the market, 95 % ICO down price in exit to Exchange, developers see all of this and do not want to give up their money as ethereum

That's a great route to entice more people to participate in bounties. I think this would be extremely viable for ICOs to do. Awesome post, I hope some devs can see this.

I'd rather agree with gift payments using 50% ETH and 50% token. but in my opinion the way is very complicated and not simple.
The easiest way is a payment using a token so that as a campaign participant feels the token he supports.

I've noticed some bounty campaigns are paying in BTC or ETH in addition to their tokens, but is it sometimes reserved for Hero/Legendary members.  I really like the idea.

I'm fine Ether will pay us the bounties here in the forum. Because of the very high level of Bitcoins and its price is not stable then its prices may differ. It is also a good idea to pay our ether because it is now stable in price. And the ether will rise and of course the price will increase because many people will use it

That's a really nice way to pay bounties, even the engagement in a such campaign must be higher.
I'll search for this LiveTree bounty, thanks for sharing

Sometimes when you compare what was raised on ICO and what was given to the marketing force of the ICO a.k.a Bounty hunters, you wonder if bounty hunter were deliberately been hunted! There is a lots of rip off going on with regards to payment. If an ICO  were to pay an advertisement fee on Google facebook etc. they will be coughing out a lots of dollars! Bounty should be paid in ether going foward!

I am sure that in the campaigns of ICO, when paying the bounty, they are paid either by the etherium, or half by the etherium, but by half-released tokens, or by some other acceptable options at the discretion of the participant in the campaign of generosity. In many cases, for a generous period, investors have, as a rule, dropped a significant portion of these tokens on the exchange, which leads to a decrease in the rate of almost a dozen times and tokens remain very cheap.

this a best way to think... if paid eth for hard work.. it would be more worthy..

I think it is just justifiable to pay their participants in ETH if they are raising funds using ETH anyway and it will also lessen the dumpers after their token gets listed on exchanges. It will also be nice for bounty campaigns to have an escrow if they are going to pay in ETH, others don't pay their participants when they don't reach their minimum goal which is quite unfair for bounty campaign participants who did their nest advertising the failed projects for weeks.

Thanks for your opinion, but please, don't put in a single row of investment and promotion\development. Projects always indicate in their whitepapers how they will use the raised investments. And usually, as a rule, an essential part for marketing. So the "bounty" is marketing (in its main part). Crowd marketing. And "bounty" is not exactly the right word for this.

A qualitative bounty campaign with increased requirements to participants and payment in ETH (or 50\50) by a quality and promising project on the contrary will reduce the risks of investors.

not necessarily, since being paid by using a token is a worthwhile result because they have been promoting their tokens not ethereum.

In my opinion support direct payment in etherum for bounty

Thanks for your opinion, but probably you didn't quite understand my proposal. I mean the payment in ETH after the ICO, if, of course, the project has reached its goal.

I agree. Probably I should write instead "on the contrary" the word "most likely" :) Don't you think that the option 50/50 is really the most mutually beneficial, in such cases?

That's the best answer, to decrease the possibility of the big dump by the developers on the ethereum market. That will stabilize the market rather than put all of the payment in the altcoin.
Especially the market of altcoin was not strong like eth.

For me honestly it is good to receive eth for bounty payments because base on my experiences in bounty campaign i have not yet sold a token that is base on its ICO price after it is listed in exchange unlike if you receive eth it is more stable and has more tendency to go up unlike in newly listed altcoins.

That's very selfish.
You do know that the ICO's that get over millions of dollars put into it was promoted by those bounty hunters right? They should get paid.

I fully support the vote here for that. that generosity for participation in campaigns ICO was paid in an etherium or at least half an etherium, and half-issued tokens. True, the ICO team will not support, I think this innovation, it is clearly not profitable for them. Signatures participating in campaigns, for example, receive their tokens after they have already been paid to investors and are in full swing on the stock exchange and have already fallen significantly in price. Therefore, in fact, they have to settle for their course already several times lower, and most of the coins never rise in price.

If there is an option then I am ready to accept them in ETH because some companies are paying shit altcoin which is not going to use in the longer run. So If companies ready to pay us in ETH for promoting their campaign then we are ready to set go for it.

I think paying in Ethereum makes sense as they can avoid the rush of token sales after the bounty payouts which normally lowers the price.

I have at times though opted for the project tokens instead of Ethereum when I have had the choice as I believe they will be worth more in the long run.

As long as everyone is ok with that im good,
but as others say it will be decided by the admins who manage the bounty payment
besides we can't argue with them because they are the one who made the payments
and also if they are comportable with they way they do payment im ok with that
because if we change it they will have hard times starting over the process they are
already familliar with , so let the admin who manage the bounty payments its not us
to argue with the admin lets just support them

I agree with 50% Ether and 50% in tokens, some of the tokens that participant earn from bounty campaigns end up decreasing in value once they hit the market, this means that participants won't be benefiting for the hard work in promoting the project during its ICO stage.

According to the growing Bitcoin price, projects can even double their profit if they need some month after ICO to release their products. If you invest in Bitcoin and wait a long period, it's doubtful that you can get profit. ETH is more stable, but it can also change.

I will like to receive payment for my bounty promoting in etherrum more than token.  I am having problems converting my token to ethereum as I am new in how token work. I will prefer to get every payment for my token in ethereum since it is easy for me to convert my ethereum to bitcoin and fiat. Ethereum also have stable price than others tokens were price get dumped after listed on exchangers.

But at the same time, project founders successfully use raised ETH, and those who helped them to get it are left with their precious coins. It should not be. And first of all, really good and far-reaching projects should support this. Option 50/50 is the most mutually beneficial and rational, at my discretion.

I found today one project that provides the option of choosing bounty payment in ETH or tokens. But somehow it seemed incomprehensible to me. The bounty program doesn't specify how much and for what participants will receive payment. Just stated that you can do and send links through their system and the AI will count. I don't know if this is true, but the project raised 15000 ETH on pre-ICO. Here's a link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2069043.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2069043.0)

This is good but it is impossible to happen because the ICO are promoting their own altcoin too in which they should promote their token more in order for them to be known that is why some ICO are giving their token for free in we called this air drops. They are using the ethereum but limited to platform only so that investors could easily trade at the cheaper price.

I think that bounty campaigns paying ETH directly is nice, but I think paying 50% in ETH and 50% in tokens is better. It will be convenient not only for the bounty participants but also to the developer as well. It will benefit developers since the dump that will be caused by bounty participants would be lessened and at the same time, bounty participants does not need to worry about fees when transferring to and from ETH wallet to exchange.

I would rather choose ETH if I see that the project is not going to be that profitable in the near future. You don't hold tokens for more than a year thats absurd. Lol

But if I can see profitability in a year or less why not hold half tokens and receive eth?

Payment with their token or coin is the best but the only negative effect of that is the hunter dumping their tokens or coins. Though not only hunter does that many ico participants also dump their bonus. I prefer payment in their token in full.

Thanks for your opinion. You know, a few bounty campaign examples of 50\50 already exist, probably the founders of these projects found this solution beneficial. Likely that this approach may be even more effective influence on the promotion of the token.

if in my opinion if the token and eth price is very far is not fair if such a process is done because it can harm half of the work of the participants bounty.sebab eth very much berberbeda with the price of the tokens.
that's my view.

For me it is much better to pay in token than direct eth, it is because there is a big instances that the token can multiply the value more than 5x  than to be pay at eth at once.

If direct payment in ethereum for bounty it is not good for new altcoin. Because everyone get eth so they do not use new token or coin .

I think it would be great to pay in ETH for all the project that do bounty campaigns. A lot of investors are scared about good bounty payout and a huge dump after the ICO!

You are absolutely right. I couldn't agree more. Payments should be 50/50. Half etherium, and half of the token they are promoting or lesser. I don't know, but as long as it has etherium it will be great. Because this ensures value for the people who work for the project. At least if the price doesn't go up, the participants still receive the amount of etherium that they deserve.

I vote No. Developers have the intention to have their token made known and be circulated for it to gain traction. They will still be able to get a lot of bounty participants even if they don't pay on eth. 50 - 50 is more of an advantage to the bounty campaigners i guess.

Bounties are generally in place to help raise funds for prospective coins so that they can develop and then market secure, stable, working product.

When a bounty campaign begins the project generally has little to no funding.  What the developers do have are tokens which hopefully will be worth something someday.  They can't offer ETH because they don't know if and how much ETH will be raised but they can offer their tokens.

This is very similar to traditional startups who offer equity to initial employees. 

Now later, either after raising money or the coin gains, they obviously can and do fund development in other ways.  By this time the bounty campaigns are generally long over.

Ask yourself:  would you rather be offered tokens which may end up worth a lot or a little or told "we may or may not give you ETH for your work depending on whether we raise enough or not"?

The best thing would be to give half of the bounties in ETH and half in the own issued tokens. This way perhaps the bounty hunters would not run to dump their tokens immediately.

what the investor feels if the money they invest by taking risks directly distributed to bounty participants.
50% eth 50% token just make hassle when distributed with a lot of participants

Of course, I would like to pay for participation in the generosity campaigns to get an ethereum, and not cheaper, and token, but I think that this is impossible. To do this, you need the team to spend money, which they will not have. The whole point is for them to pay the tokenies they create.

it will never be happened ..else owner will become beggar

ICOs will never do that, like what's the use of having ICO anyway? When you want is to pay you with eth.
Of course they're advertising their tokens and if they will pay us using their tokens we can help them to have a good coin circulation like when we dump it and if we decide to buy back again. And you know that their tokens can still be sell for eth.

I suppose it is better to pay for Bounty with tokens, and most projects offer exactly this way of payment. However, ETH payments are also possible — probably not 50/50, but something like 80/20.

I prefer 50-50 payment. that way we will have both, and after that, we can exchange them according to the price we want. of course, we will be many different opinions. many people choose only by getting payments with tokens and some who want to get paid by ETH. it all depends on everyone.

..and they will starve to death :D Are you seriously?

In this case, i want be fair enough. I would suggest 50% in ETH and 50% in tokens as bounty hunters also should understand that money belongs to somebody else meant for investment purpose. I still see that would be the great way to bring in more participants for campaigning and make the ICO's more succesfull. I also feel ICO's become popular because of of healthy campaigning in place , so the devs should atleast think about paying some amount in ETH for motivation atleast.

I agree with those who say yes. But from a practical viewpoint. I doubt devs would ever agree with this. It won't be profitable for them. Remember those bounty tokens can help raise the price ether. However their own tokens are usually over priced. So they are worth much less than ether. It a definite win for them and a possible loss for us bounty hunters.

I also support for this kind of bounty poll that pays eth because it is already a practice of some bounty campaign now they paid less eth and some project tokens in order to encourage more participants to join their bounty campaign.

I think direct ether payment is good for the bounty hunter. It will guarantee that you get paid in a spendable currency immediatelly and the transactions will be smooth between campaign manager and the participant! All the question raised/sometimes unneccssary questions) will be eradicated and everybody will be happy!

absolutely yes maybe its fair for those who spend their  time helping promote coins in that way those who join the bounty have an option to buy the coins or convert their eth to cash and avoid also dumping their coins when it open in trading :)

It would be a lot better for us as we would not have to wait for the token to recover, however, this will have a huge negative impact on all ICOs

If ETH and BTC payment they can avoid immediate dumping.

well as a bounty hunters I will like to recieve payment through direct ETH but I dont think this will goal well with the ICO because it will be hard to pay everyone with ETH and also use the remaining ETH for the project. apart from this getting token as bounty Hunter is sometime profitable because you cant tell if the token hit the market and the price rise. this will be a double gain for bounty participant offer if the token get dump then reverse is the case.

If bounties would be given only as ETH then there would be way too big of a gap between the product and the intentions of spreading the message about it.

it shouldn't be the case, really. The most money that is to be made in bounties, is when the value of the coin appreciates (of the project itself) there isn't much pontetial for ETH (short-term) and we'll lose a lot by not being directly invested in the project we are trying to support during the bounty campaign. Besides that, that's how it's done in most companies, they get shares of the company itself and not of another company! So it doesn't make sense to get paid in ETH while working on another project, don't think that makes sense.

From the vantage point of a bounty hunter it would be best to get paid in ETH, because then you would only have need of just one ETH wallet and wouldn't have to down and install all of those alt coins wallets, of some you even lose sight of, forget them and they get lost. But from the point of the alt coins creator this would also lead to less interest in their coins after the bounty campaign, less traffic of their coins etc. Besides, people in it just for the bounty are gonna dump the alt coin anyway, so the moment it arrives on an exchange server they dump it and can get their ETH. This way at least they perform some traffic for the alt coin.

I do not support direct payment in ETH simply because the profit and how it change depending on the season can be a big factor specially who chase income from bounty. Tokens are very useful when used in exchanges and equivalents in ETH because it helps both parties if some circumstances happen.

yes they allowed many users and pay less but its still a good catch especially when we are just doing some easy task and there's corresponding btc
amount in an eth value, if everything will be save it can be a huge value after trading it to btc.

seriously dude! i think the bounty hunters don't do anything useful to help projects to get more funds, they only do some shitty posts retweets and shares, and now they wanna get paid in ETH, that's funny  :D

Funds raised are to develop the project not to give handouts and it wouldn't make much sense if the paid out bounty participants with ethereum which is the money form the token sale money...besides paying in their own tokens is a form of marketing on their end.
But then again some projects choose to pay both their tokens and eth or btc so it all depends on how the project chooses to pay.

Sorry, but your opinion is far from reality. Of course, participants don't provide raising all investments, but to say that they are useless isn't true. I support the fact that in cases of 50% ETH payment, the requirements for participants should definitely be increased. It shouldn't be a hunt for freebies, but quality support for projects that you like and that take you. Personally, that's how I feel about it and I provide quality support, not shit tweets, etc.

I think everybody will want if they paid with ETH.
especially in some bounty for whitepaper translation. 
To do a perfect translate (not using google)  it very wasting time and energy.  And i suggest maybe be in the next ico the translator will paid with ETH.  Or 50 50. Because they need operational fund to do it. 

It's good to be provided with options.
Why not?!
It all comes down to the bounty operators and whether or not they agree to this!
Should we all join forces and demand this?
 ???

I'm ready for the putsch ;D
In fact, this isn't necessary in this situation, since the projects themselves will gradually come to this. There are already several good examples.

In such case, don't you think that option 50/50 on the contrary will have the huge positive impact on the ICO ecosystem?

there are some ICO paying ETH directly but having tokens and waiting for it to be exchangeable is also good there are some token that have high value like ATL
so maybe I choose both hahaha

yess I prefer it.. exchanging and waiting for tokens to list in charts is time consuming and also money wasting because of fees.
for now I want a directly pay with ETH hahahahhaha hopefully services and ICO think of these too

Getting paid in terms of Eth reduces the risk and gives the ease of trading, whereas with the particular token getting paid one needs to wait till it's been listed to the exchanges for trading purposes. Some might take long time period depending on the development team. In particular getting paid in tokens gives an excitement or an expectation as it's entirely something new but has got bit of risk.

I think for now where participants receive tokens for their work it is fair, as well as to increase market interest in the token, I think for a direct payment using ETH it's a bit unfair in my opinion.

i voted 50/50 because getting half of the reward in eth ( partially ) prevents intial bounty reward dump on exchange listing

I don't think that would be profitable for the dev's part however, granting they would do it, I would not like my rewards to be paid in ethers as the tokens they are developing might be profitable in the long run and would also create many possibilities in the market.

Totally No because tokens can earn much more that you can have i etherium and eth price not stable now, I not prefer hold my money now in eth.

I agree with you that in general it's quite fascinating :)

Can someone explain to me in layman's terms what a bounty is and why it benefits both parties? thanks  :P

Bounty is a program which pay participant to advertise for the project through social media, wearing the project signature and others. In return the project pay the participants in the project coins or BTC depending on the project.

I still think paying the tokens is better it help built long term attachment to the project and I don't think it make sense for the team to be paying out other currencies because it is like they do prefer other tokens to theirs

Simple way when a new coin is launched no one knows about it so for advertisement they have to do anything, so here in this forum their are so many ways of bounty through which the coin is got advertised and the users who are advertising it gets pay for it and the new coin developers gets investment in return of this advertisement, which promotes their coin and projects.

Investments for the coins is a very important part of the project though that comes second to the people that promote the coin before the ICO starts.

But now we have a campaign which pay us with direct payment in ETH, Exchange Union (XUC).
They want to pay us the remaining rewards in ETH not in XUC token.

For participants, there are 2 things can be happen:
1. Some of the participants will buy another coin into the top 10 marketcap.
2. Participants will buy their coins if the project is good.

however, developers will not support this, they need ETH to develop the project.
it was a difficult decision for them.

Good news.
Thank you for sharing this here.
I think it will be useful if I add here the links to the Exchange Union announcement of this news in their Twitter and Bitcoin Talk thread, as an example of such a decision.
https://twitter.com/exchange_union/status/928178886508085249 (https://twitter.com/exchange_union/status/928178886508085249)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021015.1540 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021015.1540)

And now it's such a practice that the projects receive investments mainly in ETH, and those who help them in this, get their tokens.

It will be very cool, but it will never happen. Which ICO will pay you with Ethereum? They provide their tokens and use them further for various bonuses, the project development, etc.
And ICO would prefer to sell their tokens for ETH to pay with this crypto.

Thank you for your opinion. Perhaps you missed some comments, several projects are already applying a partial payment model in ETH.

actually i have no problem with the type of payment from bounty, be it in the form of eth or token. but the only difference is the process, if payment with token then we must sell first to eth. because most people trade with the result of bounty using eth or btc.

I think bounties should be paid in btc or eth.most of the altcoins dump after released in exchanges is due to bounty hunters dumping their bounty coins for eth or btc.paying directly in eth or btc will eliminate this problem to an extent.

Yes I support it because it will save the stress of selling the Altcoin the bounty gives in market.

agree hope this kind of payment scheme will be implemented , and also it will benefits the devs the most since there is less coins that is likely to be dumped and to the participants who does not need to convert there token to ETH it's a win win situation.

Yes,its nice to heard in the ear's this, direct payment of ethereum to our  bounty prize,so that  we can less processing fee to exchange to another altcoins or in fiat money if we need it to change.I Wanna support this kind of project.we know that digital currency value in the market is unpredictable,if this recomendation to direct payment of ICO to ethereum, the benefited is we all bitcoiners because we just not need to convert our  tokens or coins  to ethereum.

Of course I would like that to happen and I believe that other bounty others will agree to me but I don't think ICO teams will ever let that happen. They will not agree to this for sure because I know that it's easy for them to pay their tokens because it's easy to create and they will need a lot of funds just to support paying ETH.

I'm happy with your words, and you are right I agree with you,
And Direct payment in ETH its maybe not possible,

Exactly. It is one of the things about being a bounty hunter. You are also part of the project which is why every bounty hunter should also be ready to check out a project very well before they invest so you do not end up wasting your time on a scam or a shit coin. If you hit the right project, and you get paid well in tokens for it, you will be surprise you will get more in profit from that project than what you would get when paid in ETH.

I think if all payment in ETH for bounty it's bad decision. Bounty hunter will keep ETH and no profit for project because they dont want invest in your project.
Better payment in 50% ETH and 50% tokens because its still profitable for the project.

I prefer receiving tokens as payments. One could collect them if he wants to and one could earn more dollars than the normal payment with eth. Receiving eth would be like receiving a fix amount of money. Receiving tokens can sometimes give you more and desirable amount of money that varies through time. One can exchange it at a higher rate but it takes careful estimation and a good guess to pick a date to exchange or convert it to eth (interms of eth-based tokens).

I think it's better to be like that so even though the project will be scam then we can still be paid even if only half of it.

I am sure that in the campaigns of generosity you would pay the etherium, and not in the generated tokens. This would protect us from a sharp drop in the rate of tokens released. Issued on the exchange after the creation of the token almost always starts to get cheaper and it always significantly reduces the profit. However, this is hardly possible.

agree very interesting answer , This make me think that token payment is good since initially token price is not that costly but thorough time it increases in value depending how good the devs are , this make me conclude that you could really earn more when you are paid in tokens than ETH

Thank you for your opinion. I completely agree with you. The correct choice of projects as a whole eliminates the need to receive payment in ETH. But I still would like to have the right to choose.

But perhaps you will agree that it will also be very good if the participants will more carefully choose the projects that support.

I prefer to be in the ETH, because the transfer rate is much faster than bitcoin, and you can see how slow the bitcoin transfer is now, it is like a snail, and it is very expensive.
But we shouldn't say so much because most people want to be in their own interests, which should be.

If there is such a bounty payment system then it is a lot better. If at least reaching out of a hassle could get rid of it, the exchange site did not arrive at the time. If the payment of bounty campaign is given in Ethereum in this way then It will be very good.

Wow! That is new!! I have not really seemed much of this kind of project and it would be nice to hit one. If we really want to take a real look at it, most of the people who get to dump their coins a lot are usually the bounty hunters which always affect the market value once listed, although some investors do too, but most serious investors hardly do. If they can pay in ETH, then this can be limited.

One thing most people do not understand is that if you are promoting a project, you are also an investor and then you earn in stakes. Although, I feel the OP as payments in ETH can really be good, but do you know that there are chances of you earning more when the tokens get listed and even dumping and buying more at dips if you are fast enough?

Thank you for your thoughts :) I in many respects agree with you. Especially on account of this:
 

The only one thing I would say is that I still think that people understand it, it is simply historically that money investments have a higher status than time investments. Although in general time is more valuable than money by default. And the status of a "money investor" and a "time investor" is at least equal. This is certainly general enough, since there can be different situations, but without money you can create a project, but without time, abilities and efforts of supporters is impossible. And that's why crowdsourcing is more promising than crowdfunding!

I voted "Yes", I think bounty managers might give this option.
Anyway ICOs spend a lot for marketing and paid ads, so why not to pay for bounty participants with ETH?
Hasmukh_rawal gave a good example of LIVETREE (I'm also taking part in this bounty, but of course not because of 50/50 option and even not because of generous and nice bounty campaign, but because of interesting project).

I think the decision should depend on the participants. The participants in the bounty should have the option to choose whether they will be paid in ethereum or with tokens or with both. Yes you're right, they raising millions in token sale and the bounties are the reason behind their success, so it is just right to compensate the participant properly. If they pay directly with ethereum, it would be convenient and hassle free for the participants but sometimes the value of tokens increases, so it would be best if the participants are the one who gets to decide.

For most projects it's probably easier and cheaper to pay out in their own tokens.

Definitely easier but not cheaper. If the project is successful and the price of tokens raise several times - then it turns to be more expensive.
And the ICO team should believe in project and therefore be sure that the token price will be higher.

Since most ICOs have not enough funding to run the project but to make a win-win situation between the ICO companies and the bounty campaign workers it is better to have an 50-50 option to be fair enough. 

Yes, I support the idea of paying bounty campaign participants direct ETH because of the huge promotional work they do to bring the various projects into successful completion. Because many paid tokens have low market value at the end of the ICO which might not be of great benefit to the bounty campaign participant after spending time and money to support the project. Thus payment should done in ETH direct. Thanks sir.

I think it's fair if bounty is paid with ETH instead of using a token, because in addition to avoiding the dump on the token in question, bounty participants can also buy the tokens with the ETH they get and that will help the token price rise ;D

for me may be better and more elegant if all bounty campaign is paid using ETH,because it is more simple and easy to exchange. but besides that, ICOs might prefer to pay bounty with their tokens, to balance their market.

Yes, this is a wonderful example with LiveTree. And it may be that at the end of this bounty campaign you will select only project tokens if the ICO turns out to be successful and you will see the real growth of the project and the token perspective. Is it possible?

So it turns out that bounty campaigns and crowdsourcing are synonyms.
I participate in bounty campaigns on Bitcoin Talk and I participate in crypto crowdsourcing (co-creation) on Crowdholding platform. Against the backdrop of our discussion here, Crowdholding also raised the question of the payment model for the crowdsourcers\co-creators (bounty participants). And I, as well as in this discussion, left my opinion in support of the right of choice for participants (50%\50% or 100% in projects tokens), which according to my conviction is the most rational and useful solution for the ecosystem and its participants.

Here you can check the links to this interesting and informative discussions on Crowdholding platform:

And by the way, if you join these discussions you can earn their coins (YUPIES) for your meaningful feedback :)

I do go with the management of the bounty team, because some make their own plans of circulating tokens through the participants. Some used to have a thinking of providing the investment that has been gained directly. Maybe there might be small earning variation between the both, that doesn't mean big.

Yes i do support direct payment in ETH for bounty because we all know that not all token will pay for us after the campaign is done will have a directly high value on the market, in that way we will wait for long until it will have a high value before we can sell it, but if the payment in bounty is we will be ETH it will be more easy for us and not more complicated unlike in paying tokens.

Yes of course I can support direct payment in ETH for bounty because it is more simply and easy exchange in to the market

I think it is much better to receive the bounties in Ethereum, but sometimes, token's price is raising than the usual price it states in their whitepapers or in their threads. But most of the time, token's price dumps after a month the ICO has finished.

I wouldn't mind, although the whole point of bounties is to honestly support a project you personally like, so I would actually prefer to be paid in those tokens. I only do bounties of projects I really believe in.

I strongly support campaigns with Ethereum payments. Makes it easier to transact around (faster and lower fees) so it's a win win for the campaign manager and the users helping advertise it.

There should be atleast be an option to choose between Eth and Btc (or any other token)

That's the best idea for a campaign in order to attract bounty hunters though the disadvantage of it will be lesser funds collected compared to purely alts payment.
As long as the ICO is good and lots of people in the community contribute to it, i think the 50-50 way of payment for campaign is good :)

Direct payment may look appealing but a token paid by quality ICO might worth 5 to 10 times of ether paid as bounty at the end of the campaign
It is rare for campaign to pay you $500 most often than nor you may end up with $500 or more when the token hit the exchange.

You can also take part in LiveTree campaign, if you don't take part yet. Well, for signature campaigns they accept Full Members and higher, but you can join social media bounty.
As I understood after ICO they will have the right to buy half (50%) of tokens they provide for bounty. So they will decided it and might use the ETH which they collected during ICO.
But in details I would be able to tell you after the bounty campaign is over.

Yes, thank you, I'm probably joining the Twitter campaign. And of course, it would be great if you shared your thoughts on this here by the end of this campaign! Or maybe you will also meet another project with a similar approach, then also share this here please :)

update: Still, I can't join, because Members are not allowed into the Twitter campaign. In general, this is an example of selectivity and it's good, but in this case it's better to do based on the real quality of the Twitter profile, but not judging by the rank on Bitcoin Talk.

Yes, in most cases (especially ICOs) I support it. Tokens often lose a significant part of their value after ICOs or are not available for trading for a long time. Of course, there are projects whose tokens rise in price several times, or projects offering interesting and promising coins as a reward (as in my current signature), but they are rare.

I agree. I know a person who both experienced it and it kinda irritates him. So it might be worth taking the coins if the ICO is success. But if not, then it is nothing.

I maintain that many companies collect millions of dollars. But I believe that they need to control. They need to follow their road map!

I know a lot of people who are willing to accept ETH as a payment rather than tokens they believe that its more worth than their tokens. I agree for the most part because ETH is a good coin.

If they pay ETH everyone would rush to this bounty and there will be abused things going on.

I support you on this.  But I think it should be 50-50.  50% ETH and 50% token.  That way bounty will be able to enjoy the fruit of their labor and at the same time get to have investment in the project they are supporting.  The 50% ETH payment is considerable enough since the company is already getting ETH from the investors.

i prefer to receive tokens in my bounty because tokens will give you more profit than receiving hype coins.

Thank you for your feedback.
By the way, this could also be a different % ratio. Not necessarily 50/50. Different combinations can be.

You mean that ETH is a hype coin? :)

I think this will be the best. Exchange union tried it and this single strategy saved their coin from being dumped. Today XUC  is  now trading on positive change in percentage  (+%) All bounty hunters that worked for Exchange union were all well paid for their efforts and every one was happy. Just take Indorse for example who paid hunters with their coins that  turns out to only 2USD for bounty of 8weeks.

I think the Bounty campaigns are also good in ETH, since I have seen projects pay also BTC per post.

The idea for bounty hunters is not bad. For me it would be great to get the etherium right away, and not to jostle on the stock exchanges. But probably the very idea and philosophy of the bounty says the opposite: you need to PR and believe in the project so that your future, as yet chargeless coins, are worth something

Yes I support the idea , its very useful for the participants of Bounty campaigns, because paying in tokens is mostly very risky, since there are few number of successful ICOs and valuable tokens listed in exchangers right now, while Ethereum value is stable and going up day per day.

I fully support the full or partial payment for participation in ICO in bitcoin or in ethereum. This will somehow protect the payment for participation, for example, in the signature campaign, from the full reduction in the price of tokens after they enter the exchange for trading if the project is unclaimed. Now I am participating in the Milkcoin signature campaign, which fully pays for the campaign participants signature payments in the ethereum.

I also support for this direct eth payment for the bounty but I think ICO's will also give their token as payment for the bounty so it also good for us bounty participant.

i agree with your idea, using ethereum for bounty payments can be much more easier and faster than bitcoin also less fee charged on every transaction, also more ICO bounties nowaday base on ERC20 that use Ethereum very popular making more and more people are using eth more and more.

Hey! Thank you for such an important feedback. It's really a great case.

Make bounty winners stakeholders in the project. Pay them partly in ETH and the token. It'd make sure they don't just money off the project and abandon it.

Thanks for your information. I already added this project to the list in my initial post.

Exactly! This is what really good projects worth hearing and reasonably use. Thank you for your opinion :)

im too , if they send use eth for bounty participants payment its good for their token quality (not dumped by bounty participants) , but not all bounty participants will dump their token , i believe mostly person receive their token then hold and trust their project because they think the token price will rise more than ICO price.
just my opinion , but receive bounty reward using eth it is a good method too.

Ah, you seem to have missed all the news... the ICO has been closed due to weak gatherings (only 2% of the Softcap).

It would be nice if the user himself chose the payment options - completely in ETH, half with the generated token or completely in the tokens.
So it would be good from all sides. However, I'm not sure that this is possible. This will be additional work for the staff serving the ICO campaign. However, the idea as a whole is not bad. In addition, it is necessary that payment in the ETH would be every week, as it is done in companies with payment in bitcoin or partially in bitcoin. This will be a certain protection against fraudulent ICO.

This is interesting information. Payment in ETH says nothing about the success of participation in a bounty campaign

Thank you for reporting this. I have already deleted this project from the list.

Returning to this thread, I want to report that the other day GUTS Tickets announced the possibility of receiving payment for bounty in ETH, instead of GET tokens.


That is, participants can choose. I was a participant of this bounty campaign and in response to such a proposal I asked the team about the possibility of choosing a payment of 50\50 for the participants. The team paused for deliberation now. As soon as I receive fresh information - I will write here again.

In any case, this is a good call. As I wrote earlier, I think, that the list of such projects will grow.
I want to note that GUTS is a strong project with already well-working product. It's nice that team make such a step.

No I don't support payout in ETH. Here's my reason: If every bounty pays out in ETH, every bounty hunter will participate in every bounty, be it a good or bad bounty. This is due to the fact that ETH is more sought after by crypto enthusiasts. Also, I think this will force ICO's to set aside part of their ETH raised to be given to the bounty community, instead of using it for development and such. Giving their own tokens is much better as it is essentially free for the company to mint their own tokens compared to giving their already raised funds. Just my two cents. Cheers!

I think it would be refreshing to pay in bounties, the issue is that ETH is valuable and during the ICO, the alt coin only maybe has a future value.

I don't think ICO's want to pay out in ETH when they can allocate some of their coin / token for bounties.

I participating in bounties from the end of September 2017 and after many projects can say, that more important to get your reward at all. Etherium a stable coin and I'm calm to get payments in such way.

Well, probably my request was heard and GUTS team proposed a form for voting like our vote here :)
But they expanded the option 50\50, suggesting what percentage of the participant wants to get in ETH and what in GET tokens. Multiply 10%.
Now the participants vote and on the basis of the results of this vote the team will take the final decision regarding the form of payment.
I hope that they will eventually make payments according to the completed forms and will not cancel this offer.
Although, of course, the initiation of such a poll is already a positive sign and it's worthy of respect.

Thank you for your opinion. It's quite rational and I agree with many. I want to draw your attention to the fact that a non-standard and reasonable solution proposed GUTS Tickets on this issue. They offered bounty participants all 3 options to choose from, but after their ICO has already ended. Moreover, at the moment, they offered only to vote, after which they decide to leave all these 3 options for implementation or change something. I admire this approach. This solves many contradictions in this matter and at the same time it looks very fair in relation to the project supporters, if they honestly report on the results of voting, of course :)

i dont care much in what token you will get your bounty, i just want to get  what was promised for my input into rising awareness about the project

I didn't vote. Simlply because the choice i was looking for in the poll wasn't there. Which is the privilege to choose whatever you want to receive. Wether the coins or tokens that the project you are working under will be your payment for the services you give or ethereum.  This to me is very important. Since i do not want 50/50 of any nor want ethereum only. Because obviously, i only work for projects that i truly believe in.
These are my thoughts.

To be honest, it really doesn't matter. I personally like participating in bounty programs of projects that I believe have a future. Naturally, I would hope that the these token values would increase after the ICO.

I do prefer this strategy of direct payment in ETH for bounties so that we can receive it much sooner and exchange it unlike tokens. Using tokens of their project is good too, it just takes a bit longer to be distributed and to be on an exchange.

If I have to speculate as a bounty, I would prefer to be paid by the projects created token.  I know it would be a risk because ETH is a stable token but on the brighter side I could earn more with the project token.  New tokens has the potential to be price value if it has a very good company link, better roadmap and very active managers.  The share value of the created token is much better than the token value of ETH. 

The guys idea is good, but controversial because from many companies I leave coins because they are valuable. There are those that I sell right away. And if they pay immediately to ETH, then at what rate will they pay you?
This is the question of what can be sold more expensive, and not immediately when you are given in ETH at the minimum rate.
So think)

i know eth price is moving up and getting paid from bouties with eth would be great but actually i prefer getting paid in tokens sometimes the tokens worth may be get higher than eth when you put them all together thats my opinion of course

Nice idea to think that the worth of tokens is just from the transaction fees, and it is really hassle to transact from token to eth, then eth to btc. If the payment is just direct to eth, the only transaction will be from eth to btc. It’s also good if it is 50-50, 50% for eth and 50% for tokens, at least if we have something to hold. I’m hoping for the possibility of this idea.

I think the idea of a reverse buy-back of tokens is a good idea, at least if the campaign prescribes such an opportunity, not an obligation. Thus, and the part of participants who prefer to record earnings, and the one who participates in campaigns with a desire to get tokens of interested ICO without investing money will be satisfied.

I guess 50% ETH and 50% tokens will be the best scheme. Because right now they pay in ETH only if know that project will have great success and their tokens will grow too much. But when thay have low-quality project with low chances to success they offer tokens only.

Well, I hasten to inform you that GUTS campaign is completed and distribution are made. As a result, all participants received GET tokens, regardless of their own voting, which I described earlier. The team didn't show the general results of the vote, but judging by this decision, it's likely that the majority wanted a 100% payout in GET token, so probably, in the end, the team decided to make a payment in this form for everyone.
In any case, it's good that team asked the participants.
Although of course, it would also be useful for the crypto community as a whole, to research the results of such a poll.
Maybe I can get this data and I'll publish it here.

I think direct ether payment is good for the bounty hunter. It will guarantee that you get paid in a spendable currency immediatelly and the transactions will be smooth between campaign manager and the participant! all the question raised/sometimes unneccssary questions) will be eradicated and everybody will be happy!

It would be nice if the generosity campaign participants could choose which payment method they prefer and in what ratio between ethereum and released tokens. Because sometimes when campaign participants receive earned tokens, they have already depreciated in the market and sometimes no longer rise in price. In any case, very long lie on its price day.

I think that it should be an additional option.  I mean when applying for a bounty,  there should be a check box saying "I want to get paid in eth at the ico rate".  People must have choice,  because some are interested in tokens.

Yes i would gladly receive payment in ETH. But then again i would like some of the tokens from the bounty itself. I guess there should he an option where you could be payed in ETH or their tokens. I mean the last bounty I've joined was successful and got their tokens. I held the tokens for half a year and it was awesome. Bottom line, yes if it were a choice, i would pick ETH as a mode of payment for bounties. Mode useful and more potential

It seems that it's still important to resume this discussion ::)

Depends on the project,if the tokens has a lot of potentials to grow i would stick with the tokens but if these arent worthy to hold for long term ,i would stick with the ETH payment for the bounties,because shit projects will always be shitty whatever happens or regardless the time you have waited to hold these shitcoins.

I think this would not be possible because ICO projects are also promoting the use of their coins. So what will be the use of the project coins if they will pay you in ethereum. If participants get their reward through the project coins, it will be traded in exchanges and the project coin will be alive. Also, it would be better if they will pay us in their own coins because you can hold them and may give you more gain.

Yes of course I support direct payment in ETH for bounty. Ethereum is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies. So it is all right that this coin is used in bounties campaigns. I don't see any problems with it.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, in some cases it's better than some unknown token or coin.

I prefer the third option, since the bounty is a good way to "pre-buy" the tokens of the project you like rather than participate in gas wars.

I think if all payment in ETH for bounty it's bad decision. Better payment in 50% ETH and 50% tokens

Don't you think it is reasonable, right and useful for improving the ecosystem not to participate in bounty of the shit projects?
Moreover, focusing on supporting only really worthy and useful projects, you will earn as much as supporting shit, which is often scam.

I know a lot of people who are willing to accept ETH as a payment rather than tokens they believe that its more worth than their tokens. I agree for the most part because ETH is a good coin.

If they pay ETH everyone would rush to this bounty and there will be abused things going on.

It has been a long time since the publication of this thread. It seems to me that we have a very interesting discussion here and thank you to everyone who has already expressed his opinion earlier. Let's continue the discussion and maybe we'll even come to some collective action, that will help improve the "game" rules for all ecosystem participants and probably improve the ecosystem itself.

So, what would you say about this issue given the current situation in the market?
Do you support direct payment in ETH for bounty, for today? Or 50\50? Or NO?

How, in such cases, do you relate to variant 50\50 or other proportions?

I support direct payment in ETH. I believe having this idea could greatly prevent the dumping of tokens below the ICO price right after it is listed in an exchange since only those investors from ICO are the sole holders of the tokens aside from the team themselves.
I've also read a thread related to this so maybe, this issue is really a good thing to talk about.

Do you support direct payment in ETH for bounty?

I like this proposal and I fully Support about this discussion! advantage of Paying ETH directly rather than Bounty Tokens The Specific Bounty Token will avoid Token dumping and price may go up higher or stabilize. Of all Bounty Campaigns you Cant Control Dumping of Bounty Tokens Because Most of Bounty Participants are after the Money and not the tokens lets me say it frankly  and I dont believe Eth price will affected if this was push through! Crebit Bounty program is Paid directly in Ethereum? for me this is a very good Idea and I Support this 200%

Thanks for your opinion, I also hope that this discussion will continue because this issue seems to me to become more and more relevant and not just for the bounty participants.

A little bit straightforward, but with the ETH you get, you can buy their tokens. Selling token may be harder when the volume is not too much. Hence, I support direct  payment in ETH for a bounty.

50% ETH and 50% in tokens would be good option. Kind of guarantee payment and investment option at the same time.

Thank you for your opinion. But still, do you think that the bounty should be paid 100% in ETH or is it still better 50/50 or another proportion?

For side of bounty hunter this could be good idea and can support eth price on market, but i think they marketing team of the project purpose paying bounty with tokens as they want to expand their token distribution, so the volume of transactions in the market will continue to increase.

If they choose to pay the reward directly with ETH, this will reduce the use of the project token, and I believe most teams will choose their own tokens to pay.

It is okay for me to be paid in the tokens of the bounties that I participated. Its true that being paid in eth is a sure way to earn, but the payment is constant and you'll get what you earn no more. At leat , in tokens, if you are properly paid, there's a chance that your pay will be bigger.

In the most bounty campaigns which pay you in ehereum you get less amount (converted into doller) than if you would participate in a campaign, which pays your in the way of their own token ! So its the deciosn between safe but less or risk and high reward

To make fair system, the developer of the project should pay bounty hunter with ETH or BTC because they raised much amount of that cryptocurrency from investor. This is also to avoid bounty hunter dump the price of the token. At the moment i dont see any project paid the bounty reward in ETH/BTC, but to make this industry better they shoud be do it, this is also important to protect investor who supported their project from dumped price.

I agree, btc and eth raised during ICO sale and funding will be used by the developers and there's no way they'll pay the bounties with it.

As long as the bounty thread and manager state up front that payment will be done in ETH, I see absolutely no problem with this.  If anything, I feel like most people doing bounty would be happy to be paid in ETH, as it's more stable and already has value whereas being paid in the project token might end up with a worthless token.  If people doing bounty are unhappy with being paid in ETH, they can simply opt out and not do the bounty.

It would be much more convenient for bounty hunters to be paid via ETH as the company raised their funds thru ETH or BTC. This is just for me though as it would be easier to sell ETH right away than the tokens itself.

As fo me, i prefer get payment for bounty in tokens. Because if project will succeed i have chance to get much more money with time. And the projects wouldn't pay in erh, because it too expensive for them.

In my opinion, if I need fiat that bad I think I would be joining Bounty campaigns that pays directly in Ethereum. Ethereum is already a known alt coin and almost all Exchanges Ethereum is listed so I can easily sell it on exchange.

For me the best option is 50% in eth and 50% in token.
If there was such a campaign, I would be there. But have not found any.

Companies will never agree to this, it is not profitable for them. But of course none of us would have refused to receive a reward in the ETH at least 50/50.

Paying in Ethereum would eliminate the lie that the drop in price after the ICO is caused by all the bounty participants selling. Then everyone would be able to see that the true cause of post ICO selling is in fact those that bought at a steep discount during the pre ICO. I think the best solution is to let bounty participants choose between getting tokens or the equivalent amount in ethereum.

To be more fair system if distribution of  bounty reward use payment in ETH. The project raised amillion dollar in ETH, and they should take small persentase of that for bounty reward. This is also to avoid bounty hunter dump the price of the token. Now many token below ICO price and one of the factor that make that happen is dumped by bounty hunter, payment in ETH for bounty reward can make better of crypto market.

Well, if there was a choice to receive a reward for the bounty campaign in the ETH or company's  tokens. I personally would always choose 50 to 50. You could immediately exchange ETH and make a profit.

I am glad that the price of many of my coins is steadily growing, so I will continue to look for promising coins, but for this it is necessary to carefully analyze their prospects

Yeah, sure.
ETH is more stable than any new cryptocurrency, it would be perfect to receive paymens in it.

I participate in bounty programs from the end of 2017, then there were really good project rewards. Personally for me, Eth is a stable and promising coin for investment.

Personally, I like to participate in different ICO programs that have a future. The only condition is to carefully study the details of the ICO.

majority for me is yes.
why because the hassle of how you will convert the tokens to eth is exhausting and time consuming
although the speculated price is big but it will get dumped quickly after the listing will done..
some coins succeed to rise but most of them are not... the exchanging fee is also pain in the ass because if you only get small amount
the fee will lessen your coins haha

Payment in ethereum would be ideal but I also understand why these campaigns pay in their own token. I mean look at it, they are doing the campaigns in the first place to get people involved in their projects. By paying in their tokens they are putting it in the hands of a lot of people who will have to do something with it so it gets used and it gives the coin some value

I support this, I will already change the bounties with ethereum. I think it's better to get directly to the etherium

Hey guys! What is the situation in this issue now?
Perhaps this thread is still relevant and the discussion should be continued?
What do you think? ::)

It does not matter to me if bounty is paid with eth. Once we've received a payment we can immediately sell it, unlike tokens that have to wait for a list of markets to sell tokens that sometimes take time to wait.
Moreover the token's price can not be confirmed when launching on the market or it could be the token was not released on the market.
The only drawback if the bounty is paid by eth is not as much as payment by token.
 

It would be great to participate in such projects where the payment is at least 50/50. Perhaps now there is such projects, share please if will find! ETH is a more stable currency than new coins, but the project that we advertise is probably good and you want to get its tokens!

I do run with the administration of the abundance group, since some make their own arrangements of circling tokens through the members. Some used to have a reasoning of giving the speculation that has been picked up straightforwardly. Possibly there may be little winning variety between the both, that doesn't mean huge.

Direct payment in eth for participation in the campaign is a good idea. Participants do not have to worry about what to do with tokens, which sometimes become useless or of little value.

I am certain that in the battles of liberality you would pay the etherium, and not in the produced tokens. This would shield us from a sharp drop in the rate of tokens discharged. Issued on the trade after the production of the token quite often begins to get less expensive and it in every case essentially decreases the benefit. Notwithstanding, this is not really conceivable.

Now, there are practically no worthy bounty campaigns, especially with payout in ETH. Decent projects are increasingly abandoning the typical bounty campaigns, as they often have a bad effect on reputation. The last project that made 100% payment in ETH - it was DAOstack.

In any cases, it will be very good if people don't contribute to the projects of tokens which potentially can become useless. It is worthwhile to carry out a more thorough check of the projects before help them, otherwise very soon the market will finally turn into a dump.

Obviously I do. We all would do. Bounty hunters crave for weekly payments but unfortunately it seldom happens. Is there a solution? No. We have to go by the current method. If only it was possible, we all would have been rich

No developer and development team of ICOs projects will accept this. They can use the Tokens they create to pay for you instead of using Ethereum a fixed price Altcoin. Intelligent people will always look for profit and make it difficult for others.

I expect the payment to be in a partial manner. In the past from only one bounty campaign I got paid in such a manner. I got 1500 tokens and the rest in the form of ethereum. These days such campaigns were quite low around, and also there is ethereum payments. Now icoforums.net has come up with such a long plan paying in ethereum.

I would definitely prefer to get payed in ETH for 100% of the bounty. I mean you can get payed instantly in a tradeable currency that you can convert to fiat from any exchange why would anyone prefer some obscure token that has zero value until it reaches exchanges?

i support..its all same..

I believe that it would be good if a member of the bounty campaign would be given a choice, that is, that the person himself chose, in what form he wants to receive a reward for his work. There will be no unequivocal answer and can not be. Therefore, I believe that it is best to give a person a choice.

I fully support such decision. On the one hand it won't crash token price and on the other it makes bounty participant confident about payment. It is healthy for both hunters and investors

Although this idea is very good, only the bounty hunter will support payment with ETH. For the project side, the token has no cost, they are more willing to use the token to make payment.

True but I don't think any ICO would do that thing only if the ETH is really, really low.

I fully support it. Because I have participated in the exchange union bounty and they gave payment with ethereum. I think that will keep the coin in its original value. And there is no dump due to bounty anymore. I think it's good and worth a try.

An important thing that all bounty participants should consider, regardless of what form of payment it is, there is no need to support shitty projects or projects that carry no real value and usefulness or are a hundredth copy of the original or at all an obvious scam ::)

This just proves that token developers don't think their tokens are better than ETH. If they think tokens are valuable, they will definitely choose to use ETH for payment.

Based on what was happened today, payment in ethereum will be good for hunters. One more thing, dev need to pay us in weekly basis and not after the end of the ico period. But I am sure none of the project will apply it.

Of course, I fully support such events, but I also understand the developers who have not collected anything yet, they will not be able to pay anything to the bounty hunters who will be held in the bounty. But those who collected really can give ETH

Although it is true that there will be no more dumping of coins when the tokens are registered in the exchange, I still think that it would be more beneficial or favorable for the bounty manager to release tokens instead of eth. First, they would save money. Second, it would increase somehow the value of the token.

I already voted, The project that I am participation also pay with ethereum. 50% rewards can convert to ethereum and 50% will pay by token. Check my signature.

Thank you for sharing this. I checked this project and personally it seemed to me a typical ICO project for raising funds, instead of the real project which conduct ICO. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least outwardly it looks exactly like that.

I certainly support the initiative of paying the bounty of ICO to bounty hunters completely in ethereum, or half in tokens. That would be very cool. And it is not necessary to pay weekly, because this will cause a lot of problems for the ICO team. It is enough to pay monthly, as is done in some ICO generosity campaigns that are paid by bitcoin. Payment in the ethereum for the ICO team has its merits and demerits. However, in general, I think that ICO teams will not agree to this.

Of course I support, payment generosity in Ethereum. But it won't. 99% of all ico projects do not have money at the start (or have, but not enough). Well, it's just not profitable.

For example, this thread is already more than half a year and yes, we know only a few projects that applied this approach during this period. But it seems to me that in general the bounty as a direction is already changing and soon we will not see really good projects with traditional bounty campaigns, only a scam will remain.

By the way, I know only one project (this is DAOstack), which paid full bounty in ETH for legal reasons. At least that's how they explained it.
