When a project don't hit their softcap , they don't distribute bounty tokens?

Yes it is right, because it mean that a project is not succeed and all investments from investors will payed back. In the most situations will the project declined, but there are some projects who are going further after changing the soft cap.

in my opinion the possibility is yes but not all projects like that they still pay bounty campaigns but usually the coins won't go into exchange and become useless coins and become shit coins

I have some tokens where the ICO was paused they distribute the bounty to their bounty hunters but they discontinue the whole project, it ended up a useless token in my wallet, I have so many tokens like this in my wallet, the majority are airdrop coins.

I don't think that all ICOs don't reach soft caps so they don't distribute tokens, if you remember or have heard about Docademic then you will know if this ICO doesn't reach softcap, but their team still distributes tokens, even their ICO tokens are successful in the market and giving rewards to gift hunters and investors, I don't think you're lucky.

There are few projects for what the investor pays some tokens. But most of the times, the bounty tokens are not given if the project doesn’t hit their softcap. If they pay some coins also, that is also useless coins.

Yes they will not distribute the tokens and it will be hard for bounty hunters such as ourselves because of the time and effort that we have put through in advertising them. That is why evaluating the project if it is it will at least meet the bear minimum to launch it is so important specially the communities response to it.

Yes, that means the project has failed, so when the project team fails, they don't pay any bounty.
Because of the current bear market, you need to choose an ICO project that can reach the soft cap.

if a project does not reach softcap, the tokens are almost always useless. so why should they spend money to send worthless tokens? i think that will be the main reason why they dont distribute bounty tokens.

I did participate once in an ico where they didn't achieve or reach their soft cap and they didn't pay us at all. Yes it is really frustrating, all those time and effort you dedicated and in the end you don't get to receive any reward. Although I kinda understand the people managing the ico. It was a good ico too bad it got affected during the red days of the market and less people dare to invest.

They're generous enough if they will still give bounty tokens however if they will,there's a chance that it is useless because the project will not proceed and no trader/investor will buy it unless the devs will create volume for it (I doubt).

In my experience, no project will distribute their tokens if softcap is not reached but recently I joined a campaign for Strykz wherein it was cancelled due to not reaching the target and they will still distribute tokens within their platform (they have a working platfrom) but I believe it is not tradable.

They don't even distribute the tokens to the investors and hence would not come in the market.
Even if they distributed the bounty hunters with token, it would be worth nothing.
So it's better not to distribute bounty tokens if you are not issuing your token at all.

the is usually the case and it takes time for the investors to get refunded. it happened to me once about the insurance project sometime in 2016 from then on i was picky to invest on projects. but its only fair not to continue the project because it only means there is less support to it.

but if they intend to just sell and those sold tokens are the only that will circulate and all that hasn't been sold will be burned, that will also be a good option for them. but then again the team should have it indicated before the ICO starts.

The statement is in fact true. It means if a project fails to be successful, the investments will be paid back to the investors. But this does not happen most of the times, because some projects go deeper after changing the soft cap.

Soft cap definitely have to be reached, soft cap is the minimum requirement for the project.  so they may be not distribute the bounty tokens even. possibility is less.

Yes you are right! It means that the project didn’t get success and the investors didn’t get their return. Some ICOs doesn’t reach the softcap but distribution of token is done by their team. So, I think you are not that lucky.

Since the token will be no use, then distributing it will definitely be not on the option, it will only be caused them to more lose in transaction fees as well in time and effort. Some bounty hunters didn't realize it since they only want to get their token even it doesn't have value or they are not updated on ICO status.

The investments weren't enough to sustain and make the platform grow, hence the soft cap. So, no distribution of tokens unfortunately. From, here on thinking it over is a good choice, or else investors would take their investmnet back.

Yup, since they didn't reach the main goal which is the softcap. They fail to reach the minimum amount to start their company

Some projects do and some don't. Some project does not start their project if they don't hit the soft cap so even if they distribute the tokens it won't have any value on it anyway. Also, projects that don't have enough budget does not even try themselves to get the token listed so your tokens are worthless so they won't distribute it either.

Of course, but there are some projects that still give tokens to the bounty because they are already working. if this kind of token will only become garbage in the wallet, because it is unclear for the market.

Not reaching the soft cap indicates that the required investment was not met to make the project a reality. So, yes, they won't distribute the bounty tokens. But, if the team decides to readjust the soft cap then there's a possibility. Otherwise they have to give back the investors their money.

Yes, that is the worst in bounty, but of course always be updated on the projects so you can leave early when it soon to be a failed campaign. Always follow the projects on their threads and social media accounts so you be updated.

when a project does not reach its softcap, the project has failed and will not continue again. as well as tokens that are launched, they will not have prices on the market. a bounty hunter also won't get paid for it. therefore we must be able to choose a good project to get satisfactory results.

Yes, it is true that they will not distribute their tokens when their project does not reach sofcap, and when a project does not reach Sofcap and that is part of the project failure. And investors don't get profit, but there are also projects that don't reach Sofcap and continue to distribute their tokens, but the tokens to be received tend to become dead tokens in the wallet.

there are two possibilities that occur if you follow a bounty campaign that is unsuccessful in sales.
first you will still get tokens but a little because the bounty manager only gives a few percent of the number of tokens sold.
secondly you will not get a distribution because the project failed and will not list in the market.

Yes, it can happen that they do not distribute bounty tokens because their projects do not succeed in attracting investors to invest in their projects, they will not distribute their tokens, even if there is a project that distributes certain tokens to be useless and no one will buy

I think there are very few projects that distribute for bounty when the project fails to get softcap. most of them will extend the duration of the sale otherwise they will announce if the project is stopped and return all the funds that have been entered.

When a project didnt hit soft cap that mean the project is cancelled due to not enough funds so distributing token will be pointless and taking money to pay the fee aswell so it's better not to distribute it at all.
this one also considered the risk associated for getting involved into a bounty program which is not getting paid even a cent.

I dont think they distribute the tokens. If they dont reach the softcap that means the ICO is not successful. They burn the tokens as far as I know.

Most usually it is happening like that, and it is quite often as because first of all they are warning about that and for second they need to return money to investors so they don't have money actually to pay you.

When a project does not hit their softcap, it means their ICO was not successful and they'll have to refund their investors. This also means that bounty tokens will not be distributed as there'll be no need for a TGE and by extension no bounty tokens distributed. This is one of the associated risks with doing bounties, reason people go for projects with much hype around them.

What is the point holding shit coins anyway? Only a team with a purloining mindset will go ahead and distribute tokens to investors and bounty hunters even if they end up not hitting their cap, knowing there won't be any further development on the coin or token in the long run.

Nevertheless, for any reasonable project that will be refunding investors after an unsuccessful ICO, it is a norm for bounty hunters to know there is nothing for them. That is one of the risk that comes with bounty hunting anyway, which is why you need to be very selective when picking a project to work for, looking at the potential of the ICO becoming successful.

If I'm not mistaken there are some projects that have not assembled a soft cap, but still issue tokens to the bounties. Next, they come up with alternative ways to distribute tokens and develop the project. But this is more an exception.

Any project that didn't meet up with the soft cap it mean the project did not achieve minimum level of target. Such a project is far from success. They either refund investor contribution or find a way to make up for the investment of people. But most project I av seen like always do refund and apologise.

Yes, They won't distribute bounty tokens because project don't have collect enough funds for development, they will return investment funds to investor, even they sent you bounty tokens, it's also a useless tokens, but there are only 2 option, project cancelled or you have a chance to receive bounty tokens if they decided running another token sale (success hit softcap)

That's what happen most of the time, since the allocated and proposed budget isn't met, it's highly probable that the project would stop. Or in some cases if the devs has faith on their project, they extend the token sale and the bounty. But this doesn't mean that the project will prosper.

a project don't reach softcap mean that project not success. They will pay money back for investors, coins or tokens are useless. So they don't distribute bounty tokens.but i saw some project didn't reach softcap,they still distribute their tokens for bounty and continute develop project

Yap usually this kind of situations they don't distribute the tokens and even if they distributed token those will not be use full and will not have any value. even without reaching softcap how can they run that project anymore

That mostly happen in ICO now a days they extend they ICO about 2 months because they tend to get more money from investors if really they tend to push and saying that it has a capabilities. But also those who had already achieved the softcap they tend to extend the deadline of their ICO to earn more and also trying to get the hardcap. Always they will extend the ICO within 2 months. But when the softcap havent reach mostly it is dead project,.

When softcap project does not hit, it is better to refrain from distributing tokens. I think we need to wait. Of course it will turn around. He will have to pay more labor and time. You'll get your price right back.

Yeah when a project doesn’t hit the softcap it means that the project is not successful. Then all investments from investors will pay back.

Not necessarily it has to be that if the project doesn’t hit the softcap they don’t distribute tokens. Docademic was an ICO which can’t hit their softcap but successfully distribute their tokens and also gave reward to the investors.

I think bounty tokens are distributed for the cryptocurrency exchange and it is hit a softcap . It is important to developed the project to meet its softcap without it project will not be succeed.

Usually it is, but there are happy exceptions. For example, Payera has collected more than 4 330 000 dollars, and softcap was 5 million dollars. But they do not give up their obligations.

which project are you specifically talking about? Can you link to them in your thread?

There are many reason for not hit the soft cap. If a project is maintain all the factor to hit softcap that will be more beneficial.

Sad to say, but yes.
when an ico did not meet its softcap.
the project falls. and so the token becomes useless.
but i have seen some project, that make it up to hunters.
by providing a little reward, not that much but to give some for there time.

they will not distribute the token if the project don't hit softcap. tokens have no uses so there is no value so it is completely useless. when project don't hit softcap it fail already.

Yes they will distribute the tokens if the softcap is not reached. The investors will be refunded for their initial investment and the bounty campaign will be put on pause or discontinue.

indeed softcap becomes the benchmark or minimum standard that must be achieved in a project, otherwise they will return the funds to investors and the project is canceled

it all depends on the project because there most of the project which i participated and they paid the bounty hunters but didn't hit there softcap although it was trading on forkdelta and etherdelta so after the payment i went strickly to that place to trade me token to any prefer crypto currency that i want.

Normally this should be the case. The tokens are usually worthless if the project does not reach its softcap. Only rarely are the tokens paid off anyway.  ;)

even if they distribute the token, only few of them would hit the market, and even when they hit the market, only few of them would makes the investor interested

It's absolutely Yes when a bounty didn't met the softcap it will consider as a unsuccessful ICO or bounty campaign. Sometimes it was happened when a a particular bounty has a weakened developers or luck of good and smart personnel that composed the project. So the tendency of that is postponing or maybe they should stop the ICo or bounty campaign and that the reason why bounty participants didn't receive the token that they also expecting. It means theres no distributions of the token happen.

That means that the ICO has failed. They will have to return the money to the investor if the team is legit. Or they will scam it. And of course the bounty hunters will also be scamed

If the soft cap isn't reach then that means the ICO hasn't managed to gather sufficient fund needed to start their project. In that case, all the investors who have already invested would be getting their coins/money back and yes, they don't distribute bounty tokens if the project itself is a failure.

Yes, it is true. The distribution of bounty tokens depends on the succession of the project. If their project is not being able to hit the soft cap then all the invested money will be paid back. But you may still get token from some projects but most of them will be useless.

thank you very much for providing this updates , but I don't have much knowledge about these topic so as far I understand not evey ICO can achieve that position and it shouldn't be compulsory as well , if it offering the requirements of the investors then it should reach to softcap

Simply because that project is already a failed project once it didn't reach the minimum target sale of token or what they call "soft cap".  Therefore, the project do not have something to distribute having the thoughts that it won't succeed in the future due to the failure in the crowdsale or maybe,it will be nonsense listing it in the market. So as investors and bounty hunters, we should accept the fact that such uncertainties are possible to happen.

I don't think so. Because if ICO doesn't reach softcap, there is no problem with the distributing tokens. The team allots the tokens. ICO is the only platform which pays and give rewards to its investors.

These are the two things that might happen, they either will not distribute it and give everybody who participated in ICO a refund. Or the second scenario is this, they will distribute it yes but they will reduce the bounty.

Softcap is the minimum amount for a project to continue its operation. If they reached it, then they will continue on to try reaching the hardcap. Without the softcap the project will seize to operate. In this case they will return all investments. There are cases where projects will extend their ICO with the goal of reaching the softcap. But this just takes too long as what many projects are now doing. Delays are now quite prominent in ICO's. But that's just how things are today.

If the soft cap isn't reach then that means the ICO hasn't managed to gather sufficient fund needed to start their project. In that case, all the investors who have already invested would be getting their coins/money back and yes, they don't distribute bounty tokens if the project itself is a failure.

I think this is true fact based on this it is not possible that all ICO will hit soft caps also it means if the project can't not reach their goal then investor will be pay back.

Nothing use if the token distributed in th bounty hunters as payment because is useless the token is not goes into coinmarketcap and their are no value, but for me it's okay to sent useless token ayment from the failed ico bounty project i will keep it as my remembrance.

When an ICO does not hit their their softcap, it definitely means they are not close to succcess at all and in most cases if they are not scam contributors will get refund of their contributions. In this kind of situation, I don't expect any bounty Hunter to seek for reward because whst will be the use of it when you get them.

Most likely, they distribute back to investors those money/crypto they received.They will be refunded. Tokens  is not distributed too since the project did not push through, since they did not reach their target soft capital. Its understandable, but of course those bounty hunter is dissatisfied because they spend time and effort to promote but no compensation.

When a project don't hit their softcap, they won't distribute bounty tokens
I have Fall victim of this though not on this forum
I participated in some bounty on bountyhive and unable to receive my tokens because they didn't
Hit the softcap.

Yes they dont distribute token if they didn’t hit the targeted softcap, it means they are not close to success. This kind of situatuion usually the reason why some participants always think that the project they joined is a scam.

The biggest risk of bounty hunters is that the project does not reach the softcap or is a scam: in both cases the tokens are not received. In the last few months I have to say with great bitterness, that even if I choose very carefully good quality bounty campaigns, the crisis in the sector is making many good projects fail and damaging us also bounty hunters

Yeah, that's right. When a project doesn't succeed, it isn't able to hit its soft cap. And thus, all the invested amount is given back to the investors instead of bounty coins, the project is a failure.

There are two types of projects here. One who depend on the softcap and the hardcap they achieve in the ICO and the others who don't. The ones who depend on the softcap and hardcap tend to proceed only if the had achieved a success in achieving their goals and if they don't then they dismiss the project returning all the investments they have received. In this case the bounty hunters are not paid for the work they have done. The ones who achieve their goals and the ones who are not dependent on the soft and hardcaps distribute the tokens likewise. There are also scam projects who run away with the investments but then that is another story.

let's be honest, if they can't even hit their softcap you don't want the tokens anyways because there will be ZERO buying interest. your tokens will be worthless. when they cancel it and refund your eth, they're doing you a big favor

It is true. because each project has a minimum target and maximum target. if a project does not reach the target they will not have the support to release the token. so that for all bounties will not be paid and investors' money will be returned.

Most projects stops and don't distribute tokens if they didn't reach its softcap. They depend on the cap they are expecting. If it was reached, they continue but if not they suspend it and return the investments to their investor. Some projects even if successful runs away with all the investment and scams those who trust them. Im this world, even if you are very careful in your decision,but those people around you have that intention in mind, i guess you should rely it on karma.

yes that is true. they will not send bounty tokens. there is no legal rule, if they want they  do not send the bounty earnings but i know some project send the tokens, no matter what

It depends on each projects. Mostly, when the project don't mobilize enough capital to deploy their project, they will stop and give money back to investors, and participants their project will not received any awards from them, except for projects are funded by large funds

When the project did not reach their soft cap it means that they cant continue with the project anymore. Raising soft cap means that they can proceed with their projects but with minimal funds to use so if a project doesn't reached softcap it doesn't make sense to continue distributing the bounty or airdrop tokens cause there will be no use for that token.

Even if they reach soft cap, most of them will find an excuse not to pay you...fuck them.

It depends on the what they stated in the initial beginning that is why it is good to read though white papers and ask some relevant questions, most times ICO project will state that if they did not reach their soft cap, they will not go on with the project and they will return the investors money, some will say even though their soft cap is not reached, they will still go on with the project, in such case bounty hunters will be paid on the other case bounty hunters won't be paid

most of the ico projects who cannot reach the softcap, they return the investor's funds, and do not continue the project. of course it is detrimental to the bounty hunters who have worked but without getting paid. but that has become a risk if we work as a bounty hunter.

I think yes. Payment will not be distributed to participants. But there are some campaign that still pay participants even though target is not meet because I already encounter it. I know I am lucky that time. But the last signature campaign I joined, it does not reach its soft cap and up no now there is no announcemnet from the team and the manager so I am losing hope and I think they will not pay us.

Probably yes!..But,if ever bounty tokens of that projects will be distributed for whatever reasons,it will be useless. Because,there's no one can give a full trust of it,and there's is a tendency of price goes down. That's why,every projects should reach their softcap for their success.

Of course they have to do it, otherwise the project can be considered a scam project. Because this is not right! A smart contract must be mandatory, because it is he who must meet the conditions of the return.

Yeah. That means the project is unsuccessful and all funds raised from investors are refunded.There is no way bounty tokens will be distributed.That is a failed project.

You are absolutely right. But there are exceptions, at the discretion of the project team, sometimes they give some of the tokens even though they have not reached the softcap. But I think it does not matter, as the chances of the project to develop become minimal.

I think like that. Because the softcap in my opinion is the initial limit of an altcoin project, it can move in a bigger direction, where the vision and mission that had been planned beforehand could run smoothly. However, there are also some altcoins that cannot even reach softcap. Some altcoins extend their altcoin projects, so they might be able to offer better products in the future. There were also projects that were stopped, so that the airdrop and bounty that had originally been promised a lot of rewards, had absolutely no reward. So we don't get the rewards we should get.

People who depend on softcap and hardcap tend to continue only if they have achieved success in achieving their goals and if they do not then they refuse the project to return all the investments they have received. In this case prize hunters are not paid for the work they have done.

If the project does not collect the soft cap then they will not distribute the tokens. But I used to come tokens, which really can not be sold and they will stay forever on their wallet

Mostly, yes. They no longer provide the reward on bounty hunters when an ICO did not meet the softcap and they also giving back the money of their investors. There is no reason for them to continue the platform if they don't have enough money to support the project like exchange listing fees, partnerships, miscellaneous fund support and many more. Besides, their faces, name and reputation is on the line so they better discontinue the project instead of going to jail.

Every project that runs bounty campaigns must distribute their tokens among bounty members whether they reach soft/hard cap or not, a project that does not pay to bounty hunters or investors is fraudulent

When a project don't hit their soft cap it means game over for the project, it means people don't buy into their idea, so the project won't go ahead anymore and the bounty tokens won't payout.

Even if they distribute the tokens what use will it be for anyone that received the tokens? tokens are valuable when it is been backed my funds that is equivalent to the tokens, So if the project doesn't reach their soft cap, there is no need to generate the tokens.

If  project doesn't reach their soft cap it means the project will not hold again, it means the development of the project will cease and the investors money returned so tokens will not be generated and so no reward for the bounty because the ICO did not succeed 

Yes indeed for some ico project to hold a bounty and their sales income does not reach the softcap, then most of them will not distribute their coin. for investors, the funds will be returned and the bounty was forced to search for the bounty that others without getting paid.

The answer is yes, when a project don't hit their soft-cap , they don't distribute bounty tokens, because no tokens will be generated anymore and the investors money will be returned and your bounty hard work will be in vain, that's why it is good to join solid bounty.

Most of ICOs refund investments to their investors if ICO did not reach a soft cap. But I know several projects that did not reach soft cap but continue to work on their project.

This is for sure. Because the project has not been successfully mobilized, they can not carry out research and development work. This makes previous efforts unrewarded.

I joined Strykz campaign also, but for top bounty participants, they will be rewarding with their in-game virtual coin but it just can be used to participate in callanges on football star. So useless be rewarded but it can't be traded.

Yes, I also once asked if the project did not reach the softcap, they would not enter the market, some would still distribute some that did not.
Softcap and hardcap are the determinants that they deserve to enter the market or not and also determine their prices

Don't be a daft mate. When a project doesn't hit their minimum target they simply abandon their project. Here are 2 factors why such thing happens;

1) Such failed project might not have any actual services that would benefit their community while people who invest in ICO did not find their product, services were realistic so opted out from participating from crowdsale. Remember, not everything has to be based on the blockchain!
2) Because such ICO project did not have a good marketing team who could attract crypto enthusiasts and also failed to attract big investors to get in.

I've done so many bounties where I have seen so many ICO projects come up with a ridiculous amount of overhyped shit and later collect not even half of their Softcap target. Now, as bounty hunters, we get nothing from all the works we put in to make those ICO look good. This is a frustrating thing but it is a far better feeling than having to receive a failed project's tokens where that particular token worth actually nothing because that shit is never going to get listed on any exchange. And this is why almost every failed project never distributes their tokens among bounty hunters.

Yes, it is correct.
When the projects does not meet their fund raising goals (reaching the soft cap) then they cancel the sale and refund the investors.
Bounty hunters also not getting any reward in such case.
Some projects prolong the sale period and try to reach the soft cap if possible.

i think they will still pay the bounty hunters and they will receive small amount of it.

That actually depends on the project. Some will still distribute the tokens earned by bounty hunters though there is no guarantee that tokens will have some value as there is a strong probability that the project can be shelved for lack of funding though there are those that will still continue (very rare). The main reason why a project is going ICO is to raise funds and if they fail to generate the much needed interest and investment then there can be a big problem. This is one of the many risks bounty hunters are always facing. No wonder many have already left doing bounty  focusing their time and energy to something else.

Most projects will be canceled when softcap is not achieved, so bounty will not receive anything, I think it is normal risk.

Yes that's quite the sad truth, so when we will going to support a project, it is good to choose those who are already established. So, the chance is good to hit the softcap and even the hardcap in the market.

If preject dont reach soft cap, they dont continue developing project at that moment.
Why you need tokens which never hit any exchange

When getting project don't hit their soft cap all of investor money will refund and bounty campaign will paused and closed because they could not pay bounty campaign participants, you have forget and trying at other bounty campaign.

When thay don't gain the softcap that they originally set out, they may give up and there are many projects have been died like this and definitely bounty hunters will can not receive anything

It does not always apply as it depends on the type of project
Some projects make enough money from pre  sales that even if ico don’t reach softcap
They still  have enough funds to develop the project

But it still depends on if the project refunds investors or continue with development

In general, yes
ICO did not reach the softcap so the bounty did not get paid, even though they paid for it but the development of the project would stop midway because they did not have enough funds to finance it.

And what is there to distribute, are you also willing to hold a useless coin in your wallet, project who stop for not seeing enough through their ico are majorly Scams, their initial motive is to get away with people's money, good project will continue no matter what.

Yes, it's true. If the project does not collect softcap, then it is considered a failure and he has nothing to pay bounty hunters.

Not all ICO Xera is one example they claim they did not reach their soft cap but they still distribute their token and decided that they will continue their exchange, it's hard to create a platform that is short of funding so I am following them to see if they can fulfill their promise.

When projects don't hit soft cap, they tend to suspend development and focus more on marketing or developing their products before relaunching. If they distribute tokens, then,  there is a tendency that such tokens will be useless since, they won't make their way to the exchanges or even find applications anywhere else.

No, I'm not. Now there are a lot of ICO projects that fail to collect soft cap, but this does not prevent them from continuing their development and distributing bounty tokens to hunters. The main thing is that the project has an innovative idea and the team's desire to develop the project.

Tokens will not be distributed and part of the funds from investors will be returned. Fundraising is very important because with the funds collected. will be used to finance all developments. Not all ICOs can reach the target because everything depends on the performance of the Development Team.

let alone not achieving a soft cap, even sometimes the hard cap reached but distribution has not been achieved. I think everything depends on the ico team itself.

As a rule - no. A project that did not collect the minimum required level of funding does not distribute tokens to members of the bounty. And also returns all the funds to all investors. (This is for the case of an honest project, not a fraudulent one)

If the project fails to reach the softcap, the duration is extended several times, and if the result does not change, the project will be canceled. And this continues with the refund of the investors' money. As a bounty reward, nothing is given.

As already well known, when a project does not reach the sales target or half the sale, the project will not pay the bounty participant and will return the investment funds to the investor.
Not all projects that do not achieve soft cap do not pay, there are also those who pay by extending the sale of their tokens.

My experience is getting tokens that don't reach soft cap but are listed on low-volume exchanges.
Even tokens only decorate my wallet without being valuable.

there are some projects that continue to share their tokens even though the soft cap is not reached and their tokens are also useless. so the point is the same as the project that does not distribute their coins because they actually do not provide benefits to the participants.

If the project has serious intentions, then unsuccessful fees for the ICO will not become fatal. Usually, the project opens additional rounds of fees or changes the strategy, but this does not affect the distribution of tokens. If you have not been paid tokens for a long time and are referred to the fact that softcup has not been reached, then such a project is a scam.

of course they don't distribute the tokens, how can tokens survive if the project is not successful? that tokens will be useless no value at all.

Ninety nine percent of projects that doesn't meet there softcap won't distribute any tokens to bounty hunters because not meeting the softcap is a failure for the project already ,there is no reason to continue such project unless the project has private investors fund already achieved

Yes they don’t distribute tokens but it does not apply for all projects
Projects that have a refund policy on their crowdfunding will not pay bounty hunters

But projects that continue growth of the platform after crowdfunding hits softcap or not will pay hunters maybe 2% of the total amount made

there used to be some projects that didn't even give their softcap targets. whatever funds they get will still run it. but in reality though the tokens for bounties and investors are distribution but afterwards they run away and don't know where they can sell it.

Well, it's always different but in most cases, of course no one will distribute tokens , but I think if the project is ready to develop that can distribute but the truth is such projects come across 1 out of 100

I don't think so, it all depends on each project because some projects will be like you said, if they don't get softcap, they won't have distribution and become a dead project but sometimes I also see some very special projects, although they don't get softcap, but the distribution still happens in a very normal way, they probably used a smart contract or some automated tool to distribute tokens. However, those tokens are just a virtual reward for all of us, it's almost invalid, no volume to buy or sell

Before they either ask their investors if they would continue or not. Or sometimes they extend their sale. But today almost all ICOs, if they don't reach soft cap they refund the funds and then close the project. Leaving bounty hunters with none. Common on bounty campaigns of alts nowadays.

When the softcap of a project is not met is simply implies that the crowd funding is not successful and the investors funds should be refunded. In most cases it implies that the project won't continue as the developers need funds to carry on with the project.

But there are some projects that will try to create a discussion with investors that already invested their money to continue the development or not. I have seen some icos have been doing it. But the bounty will be paid.

Bounties will only be distributed if a project then it's the project successful as bounty workers get a part of the total investment collected by the project and if a project will not able to collect the required funds and wind up their project then how and which fund will be distributed to the bounty workers as they refund all investment by contributors.

you are right. most of the bounty campaign did cancelled their project if the softcap did not reach.
some bounty just gave some compensation though.

Make sense, if a project doesn't hit the softcap, how will they operateaand build their project. If they don't build the project, how will you get the token. That's how it works. Learn more about ICO before joining bounty.

Exactly. There will be no token to be distributed to bounty participants, and we will not get anything from our hard work. This is a disappointing thing about the project that didn't reach the soft-cap.

In general, when a project does not collect soft cap, this project should not enter the market at all.

in some cases when a project does not reach a distribution softcap depending on the project TEAM, if the team intends to advance most of them give their tokens sometimes they don't.

They don't distribute the token at all. So, even if they provide the bounty participants with the tokens, it would not matter as there would be no price or use of it. This is a general sense and is usually stated in the terms and conditions of the bounty.

That's right. It's quite pointless to do a token distribution in a situation when the project has not reached softcap. Even if these tokens are nowhere to be sold, the project is not developed.

As it seems to me, before assigning soft cap and hard cap for fees, the project team makes calculations. If they can not collect the minimum required amount, the implementation of the project will be impossible. So there will be no tokens, as the project will remain unrealized.

The fraudulent ones too will not even distribute any token since there is no project involved, it is even logical to know that a project that failed to meet up and mandated to return people’s investment will surely not distribute token because the project they raised fund for has automatically been closed till they feel deemed to reopen it .

We also need to study the projects we are promoting to also see if it can stand the market so that we don’t end up losing our time we would have committed in valuable things.
