Bitcoin Forum

After reading some posts on this forum, i realized that a lot of bounty hunters do not either receive their tokens or the tokens they received for the past months are still not listed on any exchange platforms.  Bounty hunters contribute to the success of ICOs by advertising bounty campaign on all forms of platforms including social medias like facebook and twitter. Some hunters go to the extra mile by writing blogs and articles about the bounty campaign and the ICO.  If after months of joining a bounty, they don't get paid, I feel bounty project managers are not being fair to these people. I believe bounty campaigns should start paying bounty hunters in ETH or BTC. PLease let me know if you agree with me......

It sounds pretty reasonable. But before the ICO was done, where did the project team get the money to pay for the bounty campaign participants while they called on the ICO to get funding for their project development?

As for the bounty operator to pay the tokens to participants by month, I find it necessary to do so. There are a lot of bounty projects that I know that last up to 6 months, so it's too long for a person to join the project from the beginning, so I see a lot of people who have given up, even some projects scam and effort of the participants lost white. I think serious bounty projects should consider paying participants on a monthly basis as companies are paying for their employees.

 I believe that there is no big difference in what cryptocurrency to pay the bounty company. Whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum or novae tokens(of course, if these tokens will go public). The main thing that did not throw, and paid the money earned. And not to pay as well, and can in bitcoin and Ethereum

as i know, there is a lot of bounty paid with bitcoin and ethereum in this forum my friend
but, if the bounty paid in eth or bitcoin the dev team should have a good amount of eth or btc to pay the rewards,
also if the bounty participants got their rewards in btc or eth first, while the project is didn't listed on any exchange yet, seems thats really unfair for the ICO investors my friend, just think about it  ;)

However, this is a big expense for the project team, because if they pay the token, they will not have to pay any money.
However, if it is ETH or BTC, then they need to pay a certain amount of money to pay.

there are some bounty that they pay bitcoin to bounty hunters and there's no problem about paid in altcoins because we can still convert it to btc or eth.

Actually, discourse like this has long been discussed in this forum, but it's good to discuss it again, in my opinion, it would be better if the bounty hunters were paid with existing tokens, because we don't know, how good, the tokens / coins we have

Nothing will change whether the allocstion will be on btc or eth. Its all up on the team if they willing to pay bounty hunter. If you are looking for some btc payment Find it on services section on this forum. But for me i prefrr tokens than eth or btc. Much profitable when moom

No one force anyone to do anything. Most are in it for the free money and scam both the managers and hunters

If you don't get paid after the bounty campaign is over, what makes you think you'll get paid in Ethereum or Bitcoins?  It was a scam project, that's why you weren't paid and if you're worried that the altcoin you're doing bounties for doesn't get listed on an exchange so that you can dump them, don't join the campaign in the first place.

This is the reason on why most ICOs will rely their projects advertising in bounty campaigns because they are not obligate to pay the hunters win or lose unlike if they will use the advertising service of other services like Facebook and Twitter in which they are obligated to pay first before they will get the advertising services. Maybe the forum could help the hunters about this concern in which they could create some policies in favor of the hunters before the ICOs could use this forum for their advertising needs.

I don't mind if they paid with bitcoin or etherum, but I think the project need support too.  Owning their token/coin is the way to support the project.  To me as long as they pay (and listed), it is good.

there are some that pay in eth or btc. for example metahash pays i think in eth. however i passed on that bounty due to that. one of the main reasons i get into a bounty project is because i am american and banned from a lot of ICOs. i am interested in these projects and would like to have their tokens because i believe in the project

Yes, it would be very cool) But it's not realistic, since the company is interested in distributing the project's token. Even if bounty hunters merge these tokens on stock exchanges, they still benefit by creating activity. And for investors this is an important factor.

Yes it is very good. I think best type of getting rewards bitcoin or etherium because a lot of new project going down after the ico

Your opinion is damn right, bounty hunters deserved to be rewarded in ETH or BTC more than some trash tokens that never being listed in nowhere.

Yes, you are indeed Bounty Hunter, it should be able to be paid using ethereum or bitcoin and for now there are only a few managers who have implemented payments using bitcoin on every post or task that you do.

The point of holding a bounty is just to promote tokens and thereby find investors for the development of the project and the achievement of all the goals of the team, so no one will pay you immediately in bitcoins or ETH. But there are many other alternatives now where you can get paid in bitcoin or ETH, such as the Kucoin exchange, they regularly hold promotions to promote coins but the payment is made in bitcoin to your exchange account, it is very interesting. Also, other already working projects carry out various actions and also pay for them in a stable top cryptocurrency. It is enough only to look.

Sometimes it was happen. I think the problem is not listing on the market. All new project going dow after the ico. Bounty incomes very low and the price going down.

It's a good idea, but I don't doubt it,it can not happen...i will be glad it's happened

I have seen that there are already a number of bounty campaigns that pay with BTC / ETH with a limited amount. but in my opinion it is not interesting, bounty hunters will not feel part of the ico community or the projects it promotes.

I don't think that bounties need to be a thing that is regulated by any organization.  It should be self regulated, and the market decides how it occurs.  If you want to only be paid in BTC or ETH then only take the bounty jobs that offer payment in BTC or ETH.  If you don't want a bounty job that just offers their token as payment, then don't take the bounty job.  Likewise if it looks like an iffy project, and you might not get paid soon or at all..... don't take the bounty job.  This goes back to the old saying...... DYOR.
I am sure you can contact these projects, and make them an offer if they don't accept then move on.
One last point to think about..... legitimate projects want their coins/tokens to be distributed..... to gain value..... Why would anybody else find value in a project, if the first person they hear about the project from, doesn't even want these coins/tokens?  

Well to start with, bounty managers are the ones in charge of bounty payments, they are only in charge of managing the bounty campaigns and later hand over the payment sheet to the bounty company, it is the bounty company team that decides when to pay the bounty hunters, so if it could be possible to pay in eth or btc, a lot of bounty hunters will really appreciate it.

Will never happen.
They'd rather pay you with their shitcoins, it costs them nothing.
And that is if you ever get paid which is getting rare nowadays.

that would really be cool but you definitely know that is not going to happen because this method of payment is very expensive to the team members of the project. i am sure that is the reason why bounty hunters are paid in native tokens.

This is the right position! If bounty hunters get coins that can not be sold, it's a waste of time and energy!

That sounds great in theory, but you have to take into consideration, that if ICO team gives bounty hunters their tokens, which were created out of thin air, they don't have to pay for anything with fiat, because they raise funds. But if they would pay hunters with ETH, then they would have to put fiat in or get that ETH elsewhere. Ok, maybe, they could raise ETH and deal with ETH, but then they can't have their own token, which was the point at first.

I totally do agree because some of the token they pay with ñever get listed and if you finally convert it to Bitcoin Bitcoin or ETH, you will never get the real amount .
Am strongly of the opinion that bounty hunters should be paid with Bitcoin or ETH

For bounty hunters this option would be much safer, but you have to realize that for projects and their teams its basically free to give away their tokens, so if they would have to pay for this kind of marketing in ETH or BTC, they would have to spend actual capital, that is why they prefer to deal in their tokens.

I will say yes. But it's hard to do that kind of a thing. Because if bounty hunters were to be paid in eth those managing the project might loose because their token price might not be equivalent to the price eth when the campaign ends.

Paying the bounty hunters in eth is not bad but the problem is that the price of the token in market might not be the same with the eth price they started with and this  might lead to loses

Most of bounty campaigns pay in the same coins participating with and promoting at the end you can use that amount for bitcoin or eth as you wish . in case the marketing campaign was good behind well constructive project then everyone is winner .

I think it always depends on the team behind the ICO if they will pay with btc or eth or they have their own tokens that will soon to be listed in the exchange platform.But having paid with btc or eth at the moment is like giving us a bonus because the price is still high compared to some other coins.

Weekly payment makes more sense and the available money payments would be better. but this time your own tokens will have no effect. We should only choose better ICO and Bounty campaigns by doing a thorough review. I follow the XRT project. Bounty campaigns are so good. ICO and Bounty campaigns on 30 August ends.

Of course, getting remunerations in BTC and ETH is good, but as a rule such projects or managers pay very little for the work and at the same time there is a big queue of bounty hunters behind them.

I don't think that can be possible. Why will bounty hunters will be rewarded with BTC or ETH. Moreover they didn't work for btc or eth they all worked for the token and they will all be rewarded with the equivalent token they worked for.

very rare there are those companies that rewards members of the Bounty company of the etherium or Bitcoin. But in any case there are such situations when to get token is much more profitable.

It will be great if bounty hunters could be rewarded in ETH or bitcoin, it will make participating in bounty campaigns lucrative and also the investors won't have the fear anymore that bounty hunters will dump their coins by selling below ICO price thereby spoiling the price in the market 

That's very good idea, because it would stop hunters to sell ICO tokens - and they would not ruin token value and price by crazy selling first day after exchange listing. That is thing to think about for the ICOs, but it's impossible to present this to all of them with a huge number of ICOs every day.

Although it would be a wonderful idea, I don't think the developers will accept that deal, as it would mean taking money out of their pockets to pay for the campaign, and to do that, it's better to hire a professional team, so most people pay in their own tokens, although I do think we should be firm with the agreements that are agreed at the beginning of the campaign as many managers change them leaving us at a clear disadvantage.

I agree with you on this. Having ICOs paying in the two best coins is very risky and costly for them plus they'd rather have you with their tokens because in the event the project fails their expense on you is after all more or less free.

I'm not sure that changing currency will make situation better, because problem of rewarding are scam and  unpromising projects. Hunters should be able to analyze ICOs.

Paying Bounty hunters in the native tokens if a project is a common practice but in reality, it is better to pay in ETH or BTC because this means that the projects tokens will trade without the impact of bounty tokens getting dumped like most people like to claim.
Besides it means that bounty hunters who believe in the project can then buy the tokens on exchange all of which will give tokens good value on the market.

seriously if the bounty companies starts paying in eth or btc, it will really make a whole lot of sense, it will make bounty to be so lucrative and because you will be sure of what you are getting, most times you will get tokens worth thousands of dollars in bounty token but when it hits market, the price will be worthless.

Yes, indeed, now there is a tendency that many campaigns do not pay rewards for the bounty for a long time or are transferred to later terms.  I think members of the bounty campaigns should have a choice, wait for tokens or for example get a reward on Ethereum or Bitcoin.  So it was in some campaigns for Amazix.

If they do that they will be stuck with too many piles of their own shitcoins that nobody will ever buy.

Getting the reward from bounties usually depends on the strategy of the ICO team because they are also aware with a price dump made by bounty hunters. It is obvious that they will prioritize their investors first before the bounty hunters right? On the other hand, bounty managers also have to get permission to the ICO team before distributing those rewards so it really takes time before we receive those rewards. I participated in multiple bounties and based on my experience, I also would recommend that bounty rewards should be paid by ETH to avoid price dumping from bounty hunters. I hope that someday, this will be implemented here in the forum or bounty managers.

absolutely right, there is no guarantee by changing bounty rewards with eth or btc
because, all Ico project is depends on their team, if the team serious, everything will be run in good mode mate

It's not really that easy for bounty company to pay with eth or btc, because it will not be good idea to use the investors money meant for project building to pay bounty hunters, it is easy to pay bounty hunters with their tokens because the tokens are generated

I think paying the bounty hunters in eth or btc will make a whole lot of sense especially now we are in the bear market, it will encourage bounty hunters to work more hard and more people to join the bounty hunting.

Though it won't really be that easy but I would want them to do like cardstack bounty, they gave bounty hunters an option to either receive their reward on the card tokens or with eth, and i think if bounty payment are done this way, it will make a lot of sense.

I agree, it seems like a good way of securing the earnings of the bounty hunters, after all, it is a job that they are completing and they expect to get paid as soon as possible and not going trough an exhausting process just to get paid.

I think it's a good solution for every ICO developer and prize hunter, every ICO has to pay bounty hunters using Ethereum or Bitcoin, we know that mercenaries work without pay, who want to work without being paid? Sometimes many of the ICO just think about the benefits of their team without thinking about things both for prize hunters, prize hunters have helped your business, we should have been paid with Ethereum or Bitcoin.

ICO is new project with new product ( coins ) and they have built their system and program using their product. They use marketing method to start ( bounty program ) to introduce their coin and the coin must show their performance. If ICO pay with ETH how they can built performance if the product not show off ( running ). I agree with pay eth but developer also have reason why they should pay us with their coin.

There are those campaigns that paid their participants directly in BTC and it is seldom nowadays. In my opinion, it would be fair if ICOs will pay their bounty hunters with ETH/BTC as this will assure the hunters of a sure reward no matter how small or big it is. One advantage i see if they pay hunter with eth/btc is that they will not worry anymore of token dumping after the crowdsale. But we don't have control over the ICOs so if will only depend on their strategy.

I would also find it better if i was paid with bitcoin or ethereum.
If you believe in the project, you can still buy tokens after the ico and with the bounty reward.
That would be better for the token price and the bounty participants.

I do agree with this. Usually, bounty participants would only get a little percentage of what is sold which would be below 5% which is not that big compared to how much the team would receive then to develop the project. Most of the time, the bounty hunters would sell the tokens anyway when it is listed in exchanges in exchange for BTC or ETH. There are already ICOs who are doing this but some are sticking to distribute their coins.

It is a good opportunity to gain from the coins but then when it is not getting listed, the participants are just waiting and some don't even get listed after a year. This would also remove the bias against bounty hunters dumping their coins upon listing since they wouldn't receive the coins anymore.

It would be fair, but I think one of the purposes of the bounty campaigns is also the distribution of tokens while making promotion of the project, and most bounty hunters should understand that, while ICO should also consider to make the payments on time.

How would changing the coin you get paid in going to change that?  Either the bounty hunters get paid or they don't and it doesn't matter if its an ICO token or bitcoin.

I'm sure it matters to the bounty hunters, since those tokens can end up worthless pretty quick.

Get real, though.  The 'work' being done here is spamming, plain and simple.  Bounty hunters are extremely fortunate that these opportunities exist but they should view what they do realistically.  That isn't even taking into account all the abuse that goes on with alt accounts and plagiarism.  What I'm saying is that they're lucky to be getting a token as payment because that 'work' is, as hilariousandco would say, sweatshop crap.

It would be cool to receive payment in the ethereum or bitcoin, but this will not happen. We were lucky with the fact that there is a bounty because if you look at the fact that it's easy money

I'm a bounty hunter, and I do not think that this can be possible. These tokens are given to promote an ICO, and  if another coin is given in its place, I don't see how that purpose is fulfilled. If you want your rewards in ETH and/or BTC, then you should patiently wait for when it is listed on any of the exchanges, then you can trade the tokens for either ETH or BTC.

but there are several bounties that pay directly using ETH or BTC, usually in the bounty signature that is paid weekly. but it was for the project that was quite successful and then held a second stage bounty. but now it's rare, mostly using their own tokens.

I have done bounties where the bounty was paid in ETH. The main reason I have seen given for doing it this way was that it would prevent selling by bounty hunters from causing the price of the ICO tokens from falling. It is available as an option for everyone conducting an ICO but is rarely used. I think that more companies fail to use it because they know that blaming a post ICO sell off on bounty hunters is a false narrative and the real culprit for post ICO selling is people buying in during the private sale or presale at a steep discount.

it should be more better if bounty hunters will be paid in ETH and Bitcoin weekly, and then bounty hunters will do there tasks more accurate and more reliable because they know that the bounty that they are with is paying well.

It is possible,  but in this case quality of Bounty Hunters job have to be perfect. So Twitter Accounts have to be real and have the real investors in followers. Blogs and YouTube channels should not have any fake views etc. I think that about 1% of Bounty Hunters are able to perform such kind of job and some of them have already got gurantee payments as for advertisement.

actually you can be part of a campaign which pays btc, you can visit services section and look for an open campaign there. if you dont want to receive tokens you can disregard altcoin campaigns.

Your proposal is very good for the bounty hunter!
However, there are too many requirements for the bounty company. If many ico projects do not get the corresponding market, they will not be sold, they will not pay the bounty hunter!

Some projects does pay in bitcoin or ETH.
But 98% pay with there coin because that is one of the ways to also promote their own coin.

It sounds very interesting this option-I would only agree with this idea. But unfortunately I am not sure that the developers will go for it - it is more profitable for them to pay with their coins ,not with Ethereum or Bitcoin. But if it happened - I would be happy

Your suggestion is advantage to us bounty hunters but not to the ICO investors.  There some ICO projects now a days that paid eth or bitcoin in their bounty campaigns. Unpaid bounty campaigns is not the fault of bounty managers, sometimes developer of the ICO projects didn't paid if there projects is unsuccessful.
