Bitcoin Forum

I have been doing bounty for some time and I have experienced some unpaid bounty efforts.

1. Hashcard - exit scam
2. Blackfolio - not reach softcap
3. BCharity - does not reach softcap
4. Safein - project canceled
5. Impressio - scam exit
6. Root blockchain - does not get enough private investors who

bitpaction bitcoin
revizor coin
qompass.io

and many others end up with unworthy tokens because their team decides to stop the project

UCHIT - exit scam
LUHN - CEO is MISSING (scam)
GREENISH - SCAM
CLOUT - Not a scam but their coins have no value for the bounty v2

Continue to try and do bounty, never give up but beware of fraud.

I learned the lesson here. I have to be more selective in the future in choosing bounty, just like choosing ICO to invest.

Do you have a similar experience? Please share so others can learn.

In most cases, I refer to the ICODROPS rating.
Because choosing the bounty thread is to choose a good ICO project, only a good ICO project can make you profit.

ICO is growing up a lot and 70% of it is rubbish. That made me have to choose a project to participate in carefully and meticulous if you do not want to work

Yeah its always a factor that you are going to work and get nothing.  The downside of the bounty system.  The other issue is With more and more ICO's coming out there will be more and more BS to sift through.  UGH!

You have to be very careful in choosing the right bounty campaign to join. Otherwise, you will really end up being scammed. I recommend joining alluxe.

of course as a bounty hunter has experienced it, do not grieve leave and look for other projects there are still many good projects out there, the main key as hunter bounty is patient and never give up.

be careful to bounty the scam project, as bounty hunters we can only be patient and keep thinking positive, see the team and read the white paper and see also their project rating in icobench or icodrop

Bounty has become a roulette for me, but studying the project raises the chances of winning. Now there are many fraudulent projects, you need to carefully study the projects, in order to reduce the risks.

That's fact and risk if you decides to join bounty program, I believe you should understand this before doing some task. I didn't count how many follow bounty program and scam but I still believe and fix my method to choose the right one. Keep join and find the solution is the best I should do, hope always there and better future will be mine.

There always a risk on joining ICO, then it will be a risk also on joining bounty. If you are lucky enough to work in bounty and wait for several months to the market listing, but for some reasons, you ended up by bringing not quite much money home. Bounty is not a better way to earn.

Choosing and researching the project to be followed is important for us as the bounty hunter, I am still lucky because so many of the projects that I follow get 4 scams, but I still have hope to keep studying the project so as not to be fooled again. For the investment itself must be able to accept the risks that occur, then the mental to fall and must be able to get back up still nurtured. Do not give up for a better future.

Choosing a Bounty Campaign is not easy. It requires an active mind to select projects that are on the floor and can increase prices to maximize profits

Almost all bounty hunters have encountered these cases and it is very difficult to avoid them. I think before entering into a project you have to check carefully as more and more ICO projects will have more Bounty projects. I believe that there are good Bounty review sites like Icodrops and that is always my top choice

Exactly, we really need to do our due diligence otherwise all our efforts promoting and chasing bounties will be wasted. Imagine working hard for the last 4-8 weeks and suddenly the project pulls a exit scam. @febrian1705, I'm not familiar with those ICO projects because I didn't join any of their bounties. However, I'm into one who didn't reach the soft cap, so I didn't received any payment after more than a month of promoting it. But I would rather not to divulge that projects. Because I mostly trust that manager unfortunately, it was a failure. There was also a project that I joined but then I smelled something fishy about it, so I quit and last thing I heard it also didn't reached its target softcap or most probably a scam as well.

I have the same situation as you right now. Also, I did the same bounties but I didn't know that those projects were scam. Thank you for notifying me, these reminders can help us become more aware on what bounty projects we will join in the future.

I've been involved in bounty campaigns for six months. During this time, my wallet has accumulated dozens of coins. Unfortunately, most of them are not worth anything.
But only yesterday I was paid XYO. This is the most successful project of the month! I earned him 5 ETH.

I'm involved in CURRENT's bounty thread, but it's been five months since ICO started.
At present, no reward has been paid, which I think is regrettable.

apart from this not paying bounty even afetr a successful project is also a fashion. few example;

repux.
joytoken
eoz
ubiatarplay
any many more

So, in my opinion, choosing a good bounty thread is very crucial, even by Amazix such good company responsible for the bounty threads may still have no pay problem, then we should find their own excellent project.

There's already an ICO for everything, that's why there is so much junk and scam in the market, you always have to analyze the ICO before signing up for a bounty, it's good that you investigate the team, the white paper, the roadmap and if the bounty manager is to be trusted, of course, that doesn't guarantee that the bounty will be successful, but at least it increases your chances of success.

    I participated in long bounties, after the end of this bounties I waited couple months for payment. Your problem is same like many other members here have,
you simply don`t read what is wrote in bounty thread. Not all of them, but mostly managers wrote that tokens will be distributed 45 days after the end of ICO.
Sometimes it last longer, first tokens goes to investors than to all others. Too many participants slow down the process.
   Until now I didn`t made any mistakes with joining bounties. My current bounty campaign is great, check it out and join you will not regret it.

Abundance has turned into a roulette for me, yet contemplating the venture raises the odds of winning. Presently there are numerous fake undertakings, you have to precisely consider the activities, keeping in mind the end goal to diminish the dangers.

All of us here experienced scam on a project.because this year the number of scam projects is increasing.we must be careful in selecting a project you need to research it first before joining it so we cannot waste our time and effort.

That is why evaluation of the ICO is important even though you are not spending any money on investment you are investing your time for it. It is good to see that you are not giving up given the fact the you have multiple mishaps along the way and instead you make it to a point that you learn form it unlike most of the users of crypto that only came here to make easy money and only got into the hype. Hopefully that you can be successful on your next bounty and make a living out of it.

Yes. I also experienced the same thing as you did in following the bounty campaign. UCHIT I am coming, BCharity also I am joining. What really got me down was when I joined the Safein project. There I joined the signature campaign from the first week. When I read the notice that the project was canceled as if I did not believe it. But I still go through the usual activities in crypto especially on bounty program.

You should take up bounties managed by trustworthy admins. They care about the reputation and never will work with a shady project. A good admin is one of the first things i pay attention to when choosing a bounty.

Impressio is absolutely a garbage project. I wasted a lot of time because I took part in this project. Impressio opened ICO in the process of helping people to complete the bounty. I think the Impressio project cheated a lot of BTC and ETH.

I agree. Not many people can admit that they made mistakes due to various reasons. It is true that researching a particular bounty campaign does not guarantee that you will acquire a guaranteed profit, but it helps in a big way based on my experience. The biggest factor which participants need to consider is the bounty manager and his/her reputation in this forum. Popular Bitcointalk managers usually choose safe bounties most of the time.

There is always hope in bounty but you will really need to choose a good bounty to indulge it so your hope won't be dashed to the ground.

I do not know where you found so many bad bounty campaigns, never heard of projects that you have indicated, you may need more information before you participate in the campaign, do not go to the first available bounty for a quick reward, use a good bounty platforms or look for good managers with a high reputation. There are too many good bounties with good results.

Sad, i am familiar some of those scam you listed there and yes its hard to find the good project give as assurance to be paid. But remember its better to choose quality over quantity. Dont join in any participant without enough information. Best to have less bounty but all are successfull unlike more bounty but less are real paying. Dont easily get your self to participate. Like what i am doing, i proad to say yumerium is one of the rea project here in crypto right now

Every bounty participant always hopes to get a reward at the end of the campaign, and this is normal. Continue to work on getting the prize by choosing and being meticulous in ICO to avoid fraud. Do not give up on fraud, hoping to get an ICO later on with projects that truly value your performance. Look ahead, your failure to participate in the ICO project is a passion for getting better. Follow and carefully look at the project ruler and team.

We need to be keen next time in selecting what ICO to participate. It is sad to say that scam ICO is rampant these days.  But giving up will not be a solution to that.  So let us not give up on bounties. 

You can look at the posts of the forum, which is high grades, beginning with the member. They usually have good companies in their signatures.

I thought high of safein first, but when they postponed their sale because of bear market, I knew they weren't up to the task. Don't you worry, these things happen, you will be luckier next time with other bounties

I too from this list performed two bounties of the campaign. Yes indeed they turned out to be a scam. But unfortunately nothing can be done about this. More and more ICO are becoming scam. But you do not have to lose hope, you need to study the projects in more detail, so as not to get on another scam.

I usually choose the bounty, which is running by trustworthy manager. They have experience, and trust. One of them is Yahoo...

It seems to me that you have already gained invaluable experience when you participated in Scam projects. I advise you to analyze these projects to understand how to recognize scum. Well, to better choose worthy projects, I use these tips: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822896.msg28918031#msg28918031
They are applicable both for ICO and for bounty campaigns

better search well to avoid this. many bounty hunter have experience this and learn from it. when i choose bounty i prefer the bounty manage by good campaign manager especially with higher rank. newbie have a higher chance of being a scam so i avoid it.

Participated in the project bounty HashCard-a seemingly normal project, active pages in social networks. The bounty has already ended and the fully completed bounty participant table is who will receive how many tokens. I'm just waiting for the transfer of tokens to the wallet-I did not notice that this project is scammers.
For the rest I can not say anything, but I want to note that the number of scammers is increasing every day. I think it is important in this topic to add projects that deceive their followers.

Yeah I have similar experience, after wasted so much time and effect in scam and unpaid campaign. Now I choose the bounty is running by trustworthy manager or Amazix team, their bounty always pay for you.

Choosing a bounty also depends on a little bit of luck. I participated in the bezop bounty and like 100s of other hunters didnt get any tokens in the end. But overall my experience has been a positive one.

It's no secret that 9 out of 10 campaign campaigns are never paid for, or if they raise money for the ICO, they do not pay the full remuneration.

What makes you choose a bounty program from Alluxe?

From your list, I only know HashCard, where do you find these projects? Bounty campaign should be chosen as much as the project in which you are going to invest. You spend time for which you are paid, so why enter into those projects in which you doubt? I think it's better to work on 3 projects than on 30 but be sure that you will be paid

Therefore, you need to carefully choose a bounty campaign and study future projects before joining the campaigns. I myself have not come across this on several occasions, like everything is attractive and real, but in the end they simply deceive people.

And how do you choose projects for participation? What are you looking at? Do you study the team? Do you check the roadmap and at what stage of the project now? What do you do to reduce the risk of such a result? This all affects what you wrote above.

You can add the scumbags at IUNGO to that list.

I look mostly at the team. You want to be able to first confirm that they really exist and that they have a record of accomplishment in a field related to their role. Then I try to confirm as much information as possible through a due diligence process. Forget using information from any of the ICO rating sites because they will just repeat anything on the project website without checking it. 

Yes, I have some bounties that didn't also paid me and I have learned my lesson and got to find another one that would pay. I have look for a good manager that really takes good care of the project and a good people behind it.

Yes, same experience and you a right, bounty hunters should be more selective in a bounty choosing. I'm really upset about this situation but I don't give up

It turns out that there is indeed a project that does not pay and end the scam. It certainly would be very troublesome for the bounty hunter. I recently learned about the bounty, hopefully I can follow the project.

ICOs are mostly scams. So when investing in ico as well as pick the bounty to join you should thoroughly study the project as well as the team of the project. Choose the right campaign for you to join. In the list above I also joined the Hashcard and Impressio bounty

All kind of job is have risk include bounty campaign, and if want to make money from bounty program we have to take this risk, and also try to minimize it by learn first the fundamental of the project before join their bounty program. Personaly i have been join not paying bounty before and i understood this is one of the risk of this job.

Well, I don’t have a similar experience for the time being. It’s still quite smooth when I join this, but I think your analysis and experience are great, it will bring great help to many newcomers, and I am very grateful to you for launching this question. A lot of replies, I learned a lot from it!

I guess with many scam ICO.
We Couldnt know for sure. who are legitimate and who are really going to be a scam.
following some bounty manager could lessen the fact of being scammed.
but sometimes even them couldnt escape the scammers wrath.
but it is better if you do a research on the project your going to join.
and you might be able to see some flaws and identify the project as a scam.
and a lot of luck.
And Yeah! Go! Go! Keep it up, the positive attitude though.

I have similar experience with you op. Many bounties are now scam, they only use you to achieve their aims. Beware of scam bounty!

This is the current market situation, regardless of ico, or bounty, airdrops are not good. Garbage and scammers are everywhere, all kinds of failed projects. This is the market for the bear market. What you can do is to study it carefully, preferring to miss it and not just participating.

The problem starts with the bounty hunter himself. Don't be just fooled by the large amount of tokens/dollars being given out per task. Take time to research and know the team before wasting your time.

I have also been scammed several time by many bounty while some are worthless. That's why you need to participate in many bounties because you never can tell the one that will be successful.

It's good to know that you keep trying to join bounty campaign but I should advice that you should learn the way to find out good bounty campaign to join. Of course there are so many bounty campaigns in this forum and number of scam bounty campaigns is really little but you still need to know that way to avoid these scam bounty campaigns and can be find out the best campaign out of legit campaigns :)

There are some bounty that are just a scam so they would not pay the hunters and one case will be, they might have delayed to distribute the bounty rewards to the hunters. but as long as they are not scam the rewards will be yours.

There are so many bounties ended into scam and they did not pay to the bounty hunters. But i think there is no need to disappoint because you can learn from many things .So find out the best bounties and do your work honestly and you will definite succeed.

I also often follow the gift, but at this very low expectation to get paid. there is so much fraud, at the beginning of the gift they always give promising news, then at the end of the bounty, the team of the project gives unclear news, and even some are blurred.
