I mean, once the tokens we earned doing bounties hit the exchanges, these probably lower their price and we will not be generating the money we expected, is not it?

Currently, there is a trend of falling, so most of the ICO projects can't be successful, so it seems to me that it is not worth participating in the bounty thread at present.
Because if their ICO fails, they will not pay any bounty.

the time we are spending now not worth. even the ico price also not covered with investment.  but my guess is always this bear time will close on june , can expect a bull run after.

if today we started a bounty then surly we can get results after 3 months means july. so at that time bull market may continue so we can sell our bounty tokens for higher prices. so its better to do bounties currently.

worth it! just everyone is just hoping for a HYIP. ] but now only the best projects survive, so the tokens that you get now are the best tokens that can bring even more profits with the falling market.

The red market not only affects the prices of BTC and ALT, but also the ICOs. The downtrend may affect the companies that are launching its own projects, and the bounty that they can give may also drop. However, green market is expected in the next few months and the values of the coins from ICOs may also increase. When the values of the ICO coins are on its peak, it is the right time to trade and make a profit from your investments.

All the coins will increase in the near future. We shouldn't leave the bounty campaigns. Let's increase our savings.

It doesn't work like that. That is really irrespective of current prices of the market or bitcoin if you would mention it. Hitting to exchanger and then getting specific value is in the hands of ICO devs. I mean that will be decided depending upon the funds that were raised for the project development, some complex calculations of advertising and marketing funds, bounty tokens allocated (which will be dumped suddenly) and what will be left over after that. This decides the prices of the tokens. Sometime you will see that ICO will tell us that after hitting the exchanger the prices of the token will this and that but its just their speculation and it could suddenly drop if investors starts dumping the token which are. Thats like overpaying the marketing stuff.

Current value could hamper on fund availability in the later stages. For example, If they raised 100 ETH today and prices pumped for this coin in the later time then obviously they will have huge funds available and thus it could help development first and then prices might spike. Also, vice versa is true.

Don't stop participating in campaigns and keep your coins in your wallet if after coins value goes down after listing on exchanges. In near future they will give profit for sure, just buildup your portfolio this year by earning good coins.

If you plan to dump the tokens and collect right after receiving them, then it's not worth it, but if you see the bounty as an investment then definitely!
We all know that some of these will render worthless, but the ones that will survive will make it worth your time.

i think its still worth, because equals investment, if one day the price is stable I think will rise also the price. so from that bounty hunting still run and keep hold of the coins we have

Of course, are not sell cheap altcoins. But why do you think there will be rise in the near future? It may happen that, cause the market does not rise a long time, some projects will cease to function. And these tokens 'll dump to zero.

An interesting idea is that most successfully completed ICO projects in such rather difficult conditions should be successful in their further development and growth of the price of the released token. Perhaps it is. Now there are really very few successfully completed ICO projects, people are beginning to lose faith even in the advisability of participating in generosity campaigns. A lot of effort and time is wasted, such activities have already become rarely paid, or we are getting unnecessary badges that will not have a significant value on the stock exchange.

The truth is that, in this Downtrend, bounty programs dosen't look appealing now but we the hunters wouldn't relent. We would keep pushing forward and hope for the bull market to return as to earn substantially from our hardwork

Yep, that's what I said. Bounty hunters should learn to see more bounties as investments.
The project, the investors and the hunters will profit from it.

I believe it is. You might think that you are not getting paid enough for the bounties now and that the coins aren't worth much but all you have to do is hold them and wait for the bull market and you will see them worth more.

Bounty hunting now days is not worthy enough. We have to select a good program to play for bounties. (most ico programs are fail, or scams). But you are asking about the downtrend. So my answer, Its not bad if you can hodl your tokens for a long time. Bounties are not quick money these days. We have to be patient.

Hunting bounty is still  worth. Actually I don't have to sell all token that I have collected. I can wait until 6-12 months when market getting positive. As long as the project still running then everything is.

of course this is still worth it, just do it bounty and get as much as possible, then do not be sold now, but then when the market price has recovered

Eventhough the altcoins has been dump so badly the bounty hunting option still profitable to the people who's seeking a good source of income since bounty payment are still intact and it can even generate to the bounty hunters a huge pile of money since we can even get payed in huge which we cannot get on another earning options here.

Since you want to dump it on the market immediately then it might not worth much for you, but in my experience in this space, holding a token for sometime until the team deliver on some of their roadmaps usually worth it for token holders, a good example is Dent token

Yes, i my opinion is worth it even in this downtrend.
You should just wait until the market recovers and the team is advancing with the project- then the coins will be worth more for sure.

Bounties are worthless if you sell it early. Every altcoin gets pump and that is the moment you have to wait. It can only worthless if the campaign that you participate is a shitcoin or a scam coin.

I really agree on this i was a hodler of Dent token when suddenly it pump and release there very on project that was December to January. I received my token last September and hodl it for few months then finally found my gem. Well if you received some token hodl it and don't lose hope.

No one knows when the downtrend will change .This is stupid to stop earning on the bounty just because market is dumped.  Are you stop working when the dollar or the euro falls? I think, no. I can't give 100% guarantee that this situation will change soon, but I believe it.

Tokens arent the issues,but the ethereum's price,the tokens will be distributed accordingly and its your choice if you are going to dump those tokens or not,but if i were you i wont be selling these tokens in a bearish trend to maximize the profits you should sell these bounties in a bullish market so that your rewards will be massive.

I'm tyring to attend signature campaigns still. It keeps me be aware of what is happening around.

Bounty campaigns have received more prizes as the number of people joining them has increased. A d we are in a downtrend so we can really make very little money now. Do not sell the token you earned and wait for the next rise :)

There are different situations. There are such that people who received the bounty themselves massively begin to sell coins and thus reduce the course coins. It happens that on the contrary, the coin still grows. Basically, it all depends on the project

Bearish market will only give your tokens less amount,but why are you going to dump these tokens in a bearish market? of course you will need to wait for the market to have better position so that you can maximize the rewards that you can get,that is foolishness if you are going to sell your tokens in a bearish market movements,never a good idea if you asked me.

Your reasoning is correct. Does it really make sense to continue with the bounty campaigns? Let's reflect for a moment

I think its still worth as long as you're going to hold the token earned.  The number of distributed tokens does not change, only their value changes with respect to the $ which is very low at the moment. Cryptocurrency market is going through a bearish phase, once this phase is over it will rise even stronger than before.

So, I'm quite confident we're going to get what we deserve.

It depends on how interesting and innovative the idea of the project is. If investors believe in the project and its team that in the future it will make a profit, then after entering the major exchanges, the price of this cryptocurrency is growing. Accordingly, if you do not believe, then immediately after entering the exchange cryptocurrency massively sell and the price drops.

At the moment the coins or tokens we receive as rewards for participating in bounty campaigns are not enough to compensate for the work done. This is generally because the entire market is suffering low prices. In the nearby future we are likely to make profits from whatever coins/tokens we have from bounties. Now all we need to hope for is success for the campaigns we join, this success will translate into payment for work done.

Well, it is not a surprise to here the rising of this question. Definitely the current Crypto market status is the reason for this question.As we can see due to the current situation, when most of the coins come to the market, the value is less than expected. But this situation will not stay same forever. When the market goes up things will change. We can expect an uptrend. After that it would be a happy bounty hunting than ever. But until then, bounty hunters will have to stay patient. But it will worth the effort.  

Of course? why would these bounties be worthless if the market trend is bearish? you dont need to worry about these rewards because you can wait for the market trend to be bullish before you dump those bounties! theres no connection with the rewards in bearish market,a good ICO will always find its way to achieve success even in bearish trend.

Well if everyone thinks like you it will be good for those who continue doing bounty campaigns.  Less people in the campaigns means higher stakes for those involved.  Those who hold onto the tokens instead of dumping them immediately will see an added bonus. 

Why will these bounties be worthless in bearish market? you arent going to sell your rewards in a bearish market,not unless you really needed it badly! i dont find any good reason why these bounties arent going to be worth it in a bearish market? because no one would want to sell in a losing market its just like doing panic selling and it doesnt worth the hassle!

I think a lot of bounty hunters are asking this question right now. It shows some of the flaws in the bounty system. Originally coins with bounties did not do any sort of ICO where they accepted payment. You just supported a coin that the devs already made and their compensation was the having a bunch of the coin itself or some sort of premine. Now this has turned into what is basically a job, but one that for one reason or another you may not get paid for. I think eventually bounties will also be regulated like a normal job.

How will the bear market affects the bounty rewards that you will get from the bounty campaigns? i just dont get it how,but if you are talking about the rewards you shouldnt be dumping those in a bearish market,because that is stupidity sorry for the word but it is,usually bounty hunters are waiting for the bull runs to happen so that the rewards would be bigger!

Maybe at some moments this happens. In any case, it is obvious to me that the tokens you received from participating in the bounty  campaign do not have to be sold immediately. It is most profitable to keep them for a year or more. When the project is implemented, they will cost more. In addition to this, the trend for the growth of the entire crypt should return.

Joining at this time might not really effect the bounty hunters since the distribution percentage alloyed for the participant were already considered before campaign starts, and the price is really volatile thats why in every campaign I joined, id only focus to the fact that the project seems legit and willing to pays and that project seems high potential growth in the future, the price will really matter in ICO progress.

Why would you sell your coins in a bearish market? that is stupidity though you are right it isnt going to give use the expected rewards that we can have if the market is stable or in bullish trend,that is why you should wait for the market to go bull or else you wont maximize your profit from the bounty rewards that you got.

What is the difference?
By the time you get the tokens and they are listed to the exchange, could be months.
I don't sell the tokens when I get them. I usually hold them for a month or two or as long as I need.

For me Yes, We should take it for granted! as long as the ICO runs then we participate on joining some campaign, all of our hardwork will be paid of very soon just be patience just like the market downtrend, Patience is the key always so we could have rewards after the token sale.

Theres no point of dumping those bounties in a bearish market,why would you want to get less rewards if you can just wait for the market to be stable or best in bullish market?doesnt make sense because you wont maximize the rewards that you can get in a bearish market ,that is why we need to wait patiently until the market has gone bull.

Theres no point of dumping those bounty tokens in a bearish market,best thing to do would sell those tokens when the market has gone bull run.Wont be a big problem with the bounty hunters because we didnt risk anything to get those rewards,but our time and effort to complete the tasks,never dump those or else you will only get less.

Doesnt matter,because these bounty rewards shoudnt be sold with a bearish market because you will get less rewards compare to dumping these bounties in a bullish market,which can give you more ! months would be needed before these tokens to be listed in exchanges that is why it isnt going to matter if we have a bearish market now not unless you need to sell it because you need it badly.

I think it's worth it. Just signed up for Algebraix's airdrop where you get 15,000 ALX tokens. https://algebraix.io/beta
Bounty is very generous as well

Worth it when you didnt dump those token rewards when the time likes this,because you wont get rewarded very well and that is absurd thing to do,bounty rewards should always be dumped when the market is bullish so that you can maximize your rewards,that is simply using your own logic ,doesnt matter joining bounties because it will take few months for these projects to get listed in some exchanges.

Of course you wont get enough in a bearish market,do not dump those tokens in a bear market because you will only get less rewards than selling it when the market has gone bull run,never do that because you can get the amount that you wanted to have,patiene is a virtue so you need to wait to get bigger rewards.

Of course,why would the bearish market affect these rewards? stakes are calculated on how much time that you have spent from the whole campaign which is why the longet the bounty campaign that bigger rewards that you can get if you have high ranking accounts there in bitcointalk,just wait for the market to recover before you dump your tokens.

Yes ? bounty hunting doesnt get affected by these market trends,but when you are going to dump your tokens in bearish market surely you will get less ,that will affect your rewards that is why it isnt recommended to dump your rewards in a bearish market not unless you really it badly,normally bounty hunters are dumping these coins when the bulls has come so they can maximize their rewards.

Maybe right now it's not worth to take part in bounties but i still decide to if i have project which i really like or want to earn some crypto to spend. Even if the amount is small you can still earn so why not?

So i think it depend on you. It can be worth to do bounties or not.

It's not downtrend, this is an influx of bots and scammers, because of which payments to hunters are reduced. And, in addition, the situation on the market.  Compare with December 2017, when in one social campaign you was could earn> $ 1000

As an investor you would really be worried in the current price trend but since we are talking about investing on ICO sales then it would depend on the team if they would fixed or adjust the tokens purchased basing on the money you had put in.
Talking back we are mentioning bounty hunters which i dont see a reason for them to be affected because same as you said token allocation would really be still fixed and now it do all matters on price of tokens when it hits exchanges so that they would able to sell out.

Market trends doesnt really affecy your stakes from the bounty campaigns that is why i am to confused why would these bearish markets going to affect the rewards you can get? not unless you are talking about dumping those tokens that did you get from the bounties,it is not recommended because you will only get few and you wont maximize the rewards.

It is worth to participate in any bounty campaigns,because it is the best opportunity that we can get those cryptocurrencies for free,no amount will be required in bounty hunting that is why it is the safest way to earn without risking any money,the trend wont affect the token's price because no dumb person would dump those bounty tokens in a bearish market because you wont maximize your profits.

Doesnt matter if bullish or bearish market trend,because you will only dump those tokens when the market is bullish and the amount of the tokens are considerable,so it is worth to participate these campaigns that is why you shouldnt stop participating even if the market trend is very bearish,because it doesnt matter not unless you badly need to cashout.

You do not lose money by participating in bounty programs. So what's the difference in what state the market is. Participate further and leave the coins for hold. The market will go up and the coins will go up.

Depends on how you exert effort on this downtrend. Bounty has less risk than investing on ICO. You may get Scam ICO but for sure you want to have safe investment so everything you are doing you need to keep research the overall review of the project, So that after ICO you'll get your rewards.

If someone willing to hold token/coin for sometime, you will be profitable once bull run starts anyway. Just keep accumulating good coins.

OTH, if one is living on bounty campaign income, it will be very difficult time.

It will always be worth to particiapate because bounty rewards wont be affected by these bearish or bloody markets,unless you are planning to sell your tokens  in a bear market which is stupidity because you will only get less rewards,keep holding it so that your rewards will be maximized and you will get a lof of money out from your bounty tokens.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. It is my first month participating in these campaigns and this month I will get paid tokens of signals.network with ICO value of approximately 200$, because of that my question. Thank you all!

Its not matter if the market is in the situation of downtrend because we can hold all the tokens that we received in the bounties and sell it after the down trend so its worth it to bounty hunt even in a downtrend.

I agree with you. At this time, you need to accumulate good coins. The fall of the courses can not last forever, someday the big bull will come. The patient will be rewarded.

Even so, these tokens will still gain value in the long run. But if you're planning to cash out immediately after receiving your reward, then you may be right. But why do that if there is great potential for growth? We will gain more if we will learn to hold for some time rather than cashing out right away leaving no room for growth. It's as if you will always go back to 0 if this is your strategy. You may wanna evaluate things further.

Bounty is still profitable. Because after all Bounty has a very small risk to lose money. Although the market is currently down, we will be happy if an ICO project that we help, Success.

Don't dump/sell your rewards straight away! Keep and hold it as an investment and look at it as a long term investment, until the price rise for the crypto market as a whole. Imagine you save up all of your reward's and one day you will have a fortune, what you saved up. So the bounty hunting is and always be worth it!

For now bounty hunting might not be profitable due to the bearish market however the bearish trending will surely ended someday, as a bounty hunter you are expected to keep on hodling your tokens till the market bounce back while your token hits an exchange.
Keep working on as many bounties as you can definitely it's going to be profitable later.

with a coin like this seems like the right time yet. This will make many of the ICO does not fit with what they plan to do and not much right fall or stop in the middle of the road.

I think your immediate dumper of bounty token or coins , why don’t you consider as a investment . After all we are putting effort to promote coins we are also working in social media . So market is it that bottom compare to last year same time price.

of counrce it worth to do it, but dont be impatient as a baby! hold it for midle or long term to have good profit, if you want to dump it so you ll participate in this downtrending but if you hold it, you will help market to re-build it self

        If we were paid after the campaign or a months after then It is worthy for the bounties with our efforts of campaigning but if the project fails, I think it is also reasonable for denying our payments as part of the business or that particular project.

Well in contrast, I think that joining bounties at this season would be the best decision a bounty hunter can ever make(considering that he does his own thorough research about the bounties that he joins into). Because the amount of the tokens distributed will be a lot depending on the dollar value of the payments or the current price of the tokens on distribution. This will make the bounties you get at this season worth so much more in the bullish season of the market. That is again, if you joined the right bounty and have held on to your rewards long enough.

As of the moment I can say that the three months or more doing bounties is not worth to the payment that i received. Imagine, Ico price is $1 but after listed on exchanges, the token is now useless. You'll got nothing but disappointment.

Bounties only require my time and not money. Now that the market is down and I'm not trading, I have the time to participate I  many bounties and airdrops. If you can hold for the bull season, you will be profitable with it

I think it's not true that you say that. Time and energy are in some sense equal to money, so don't think that you don’t spend money on your own. You spend your time and you’ve missed your other work.it is the money you put in. ;)

Why will prices get lowered when the bounties hit exchanges ? It should actually be the opposite as more people start buying thus pushing the prices up.
