How good (or bad) have your bounty rewards been in 2018 in comparison to 2017?

This year was the worst year for a Bounty. In my opinion, the number of participants was higher and they always sold at low prices, thus causing the coin to fall continuously to a low level.

Unfortunately, I did not have time to catch 2017, but I joined only this year.  But so far it turns out that I did not manage to achieve the desired result, but nevertheless I am not going to stop at what I have achieved!

Didn't have a bounty last year and I'm waiting for the bounty airdrop for my campaign.

But everyone has the same sentiment that rewards for this year has been lower unlike last year. 2017 seems to be the best year and era of bounties/ICO.

Last year, very well paid for participating in bounty campaigns and it's not even a matter of a small number of participants, but in that there was a stir and all projects collected soft cap. This year, I feel like a poor man and can't collect money even for a new smartphone.

Indeed this year is different from the previous year. I also feel like you feel. Wasting a lot of time on bad projects. And making us useless there. The project competes a lot and makes this year's bounty very difficult. Plus very many participants from all campaigns.

they are pretty much the same. the only ifference is that i have slowed down quite a bit. there is just not that hype anymore,and every project look the same to me. i really need to find that one project that can inspire some trust and that has a good team and a good concept, in order to invest my time tweeting about it, you know. the returns are for sure being lower, since all the market is in the red

The reward for participating in the bounty of the company has not changed. The profit from the sale of coins received for participating in the bounty fell several times against the background of the general fall of the crypto currency market. The percentage of unpaid airdrop and bounty also increased. In general, a sad situation.

This year is just terrible on payments. I managed to get a good award in the summer, but it was the only award this year. But I do not despair, we must continue to participate in the bounty, because when the situation in the market will improve and will be a good growth.

I am joined in 2018 so can not compare. But I see the Market is growing!
Look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4886344.msg46260610#msg46260610
This is the example of an absolutely new approach to the bounty.

Now hunters can sell up to 50% of their bounty stakes earned from FB, TW, Moderation, and Signature campaigns for ETHER!

Ive missed doing bounty campaign last year because im still newbie in crypto by that time and newbie on this forum. But fortunately i have joined one signatue campaign last year november 2017 and gave me 10,000php profit and at early 2018 i joined again another signature campaign i think it was february and gain an income of 26,000php. Then the following signature ive joined was not that good anymore always failure ico or otherwise dump when listed on an exchanger. Hopefully next year crypto will be healthy again and take us to our dream future.

I have nothing against with 2017 BOUNTIES, it is awesome than ever.
2018 is not good for this thing, as theiri are so many SCAM ICO in the community
If there is no SCAM, there are no soft cap reached which makes the bounty free because the project is not gonna work.

If compare to 2017 i can say this year is the worst situation for bounty. Scam projects everywhere or another bounty hunters dump the price. I really struggling with this situation. Too many particants nowaday they using multiple account for sure. I hope next year bounty shining again.

At the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, the profit was very high, but now I basically hold the received tokens.

I only started recently in 2018 with the bounty progam, so we'll see how it goes, don't have anything to compare it too, and been too early to get rewarded.  So far people don't seem to be happy with them in 2018, maybe things will pick up.

the final 2017- early 2018 bounty program is very impressive or very good. but for the next year in 2018 we must be able to choose a good project and manager bounty. I revealed this because I was hit by a bad manager this year.

For me as long as the bounty campaigns are paying what we worked for them it is ok to me and it is really good to hold as much as I can even if it takes years because I am really bullish with crypto market and that is my plan for long term hold.

If i compare in 2017 to 2018 than 2017 was my best earning year even my bitcointalk forum accounted was created in August 26, 2017 last year.
2018 is worst year both of crypto market and bounty. So i think 2017 was bounty era for hunters.

very different, in my opinion in 2017 the average ico project is very good and very easy to enter the market, see now the ico project takes a long time to enter the market and some even run away leaving investors, namely scam projects.

Of course, 2018 is a lot worse than 2017, I joined the bounty in June 2017 and in just 5 months I earned more than 4000$. But since the market has gone down since 2018, in the past nine months I've only earned about 2000$. It is hoped that 2019 will be a good year for the ICO and it will be as exciting as 2017. And the bounty will look like 2017 again.

2017 was too much high. 2018 too much low. I hope in a fair middle way for 2019 :)

Well for me it has been a mixed outcome as I have received very least reward which is actually less than $100 for spending over 4 months of my time in the bounty campaign at the same time I received a very good reward of over $2000 within 5 weeks for the other campaign.

Bounties in 2018 it is very bad. the beginning of year still was normal but then bad projects went the token at which does not bargain anywhere

2018 is not compared to what it was in 2017. If you compare figuratively, then 2017 is the year of abundance of money and in 2018 is the year of beggars who ask for charity.

This year is not very good compared to last year. This year is like being a year to practice our patience, because the market has setbacks and also many ico scams that are difficult to distinguish.

I'd say bounties are still having potential but it is the market which is giving problems to the outcomes of ICO projects as well as bounty programs. What we should do now is to continue participating and holding the tokens earned from different projects. Huge profit will be earned once recovery take place in the market.

ICOs are not doing well so obviously doing bounties will be the same. Its very hard for projects now to accumulate fundings since the entire market has been bearish for some time. IMO 2019 would be more troublesome for bounty hunters now that ERC20 tokens are getting less popular for investors.

I think the reward would be similar to last year, its just the value of those coins were dropping if compared with last years result.
That  way we need to work harder and smarter.

Last year was 1000 times more profitable, this year I havent received anything, but it doesnt matter, almost all tokens now are worthless, we have to wait another year.

from 2017 to 2018, the income that I got was quite high, although not much, but I am grateful because even though the price dropped but the income I got was still not dramatically lower

Honestly if we look at a whole, no difference at all. People just say that 2017 ICO's are successful because that is the time when bitcoin showed us a crazy increase resulting in establishing a new ATH. Because of that, it brought positive outlook to the majority even for a new one that investing* in crypto will give them a good profit in the long run. Therefore bounty rewards is really worth the effort.

I know others may disagree but don't hide the fact that for let's say those 2017 ICOs held their crowdfund this year, most of them will surely failed at the end too.

I continue to get a good bounty award. I try to better analyze the projects in which I participate. Only while I cant exchange my tokens, because they are not yet traded on the exchange. I those that are traded have a very small price. So I'll just wait and keep earning crypto.

Yeah maybe bounty is bad in this year, i ended all of the bounties in the beginning of june, many things made me step back like the pending payment nor not appropriate with the token received. Also price that certain makes the divide result is not satisfy.

Unfortunately,I joined only this year.  But still I can say that I hoped to have bigger profit comparing the stats from last year

Yes mostly participant of bitcointalk forum are saying correct, 2017 was a good year for bounties & ICO’S but 2018 was worst for crypto world.
So most of bounties also didn’t achieve their soft cap, most of canceled.
In some campaigns investors got scammed.

It is getting worse every day, but I hope that last quarter of 2018 will be profitable like the end of 2017 year.
As for me I just keep work harder and don't sell tokens

Looking on the number of scam project and project that hasn't meet their minimum investment so the project end up failed.
It is sadness for any investors and also the bounty hunter, they don't get much from many project in 2018

In 2017 mostly i joined on Airdrop campaign, i started to do bounty since November 2017. So if it compared to 2018, i would say my revenue in this year are better than 2017.

Current year we have more bounty participant and under reward than previos years lso have big number of dumpers that not want wait some but sell and dump every topkens just recieve to wallet.Best time to bounty earning is gone.

Unfortunately i did not participate in bounty campaigns last year. I joined this year but i have not received the desired result. I hope to have bigger profit in future.

My experience in 2018 is too worst as compare to 2017 and i got huge stakes / reward in 2017 and earn so much eth but in 2018 i got only and only stakes visible in bounty spreadsheets but didn't receive tokens and most of the token that i was received is not listed in any exchange.

This year is difficult for both investors and bounty hunters.Awards in comparison with 2017 became noticeably smaller, and fraudsters became more.

I understand you and I can say that the majority of Bounty companies are in the same position. Apparently, the developers are afraid of the negative consequences for their project after the distribution of tokens.

I think the Bounty projects are really bad now. There are not many projects that attract more capital. At present ICO projects have a common idea as opening new trading floors and it does not make me and other investors feel interesting. That's why things are getting worse.

It can change very fast with new bullrun + FOMO. I think many projects wait the market turn bullish again and we will see new money injection in ICO.

the bounties 2018 is more than 2017, the quality bounty so get higher, the reward i earn so more than 2017.
i think 2018 to 2019 we will have more bounties and the bounty hunter can get more reward, and this will become a job, a main job that will have raise yourself and your family

2018 - it is year of fail for everyone, I hope this fail will end soon, because all activity and development are stoped, need to wait, and everyone is wait

2018 bounty is one of the most useless I have ever seen. Many tokens received from bounty are just shitty and some are worthless. I hope 2019 would be a success

This is the worst year for every crypto investor, bounty hunters, ICO project owners, and crypto enthusiasts! No one is happy with the cryptocurrency this year. Comparing between 2017 to 2018, bounty rewards has decreased more than 60%! In 2017, By doing a twitter bounty people earned 3-4 ETH From a single campaign. Most of the Potential ICO was successful! But after February 2018, Millions of people come into the Bitcointalk Forum and the maximum was bounty hunters or spammers. So, Due to huge participants, Bounty rewards are being the price of a potato!

I actively began to engage in bounty hunting in 2018, so it's difficult for me to compare with 2017, but as far as I was told, and according to the comments on the forum it is clear that last year's revenues were much more than now.This year is not the best for crypto world.

2018 hasn't quite been the year for me with bounties. Haven't been fortunate to get the maximal gains of participation. Hoping it gets better in 2019.

2017 and beginning of 2018 was good or very good
That year is poor
One project what i was participating didn't reach minimum cup so it was stopped
I still waiting for coins from another
I am starting to think that good signature campaign is better idea than bounty
I have big hope for my current bounty what i advertise in my sig
You can check if you are looking for work
That project has very good chance to be successful if will be then it will be my best paying job ever
 

Bounty in 2018 ???
In 2017 i think better than 2018 about bounty.
But, i get a more profit in 2018.
So i don't really know better bounty in 2017 or 2018.
In my mind i think bounty in 2017 is better than 2018.

There were good projects this year but now they already ended. Now it will be necessary to wait for the next year. Can be in 2019 there will be interesting projects.

I joined bounty this year. The result is very good. I participate only blog and Signature campaign. Signature is much better than blogging. For example, for 2 months In signature you can earn 3k$ and for 1 article 100$.

Bounty rewards has definitely been way down now in the year 2018, Last year it was on its prime time.

In 2017 bounty payments were sky high, every con was successful and brought a lot of income to the investors. This year things went worse, but it is still enough to make a living. So if you take up bounties for some extra income I think you are fine this year as well.

Most of the bounty projects I participated in brought me some money (no more than $200/project for participation in TW & FB). But there were also very profitable projects, among them MVL.

I myself am a beginner but I have heard that in 2017 the company paid very well for the generosity of the tokens. Especially now it's hard for companies now. In particular, the company's participants are generous.

Though I joined bounty hunting this year, but I must say when I join bounty hunting early this year, it was so rewarding, tokens normally do X5 and everybody was happy, bounty hunters don't normally dump, they hold, but fast forward to middle of the year and now, it's no longer the same, and I know it is happening because of bear market, bear market has made bounty hunting not be rewarding, you get a reward that amounts to a big money, but when it enters exchanges, it will lose 90% of it's value, it's really sad, but I know things will get better again.

Now the projects have become more difficult to collect easily large sums for this it is difficult to find a project that will collect a lot. Many large projects abandon the usual bounty.

I have not have a quite pleasant experience with bounties this year owjngvto the fact that most of them turned out to be scam and those are not scam was unable to year their soft cap and expectedly nothing to show for it. What am coping with till now is the bounties I participated in the previous year.

at that time it could be said that Bounty was worse than last year because there were many Bounties there were only a few that were truly real. I don't understand what really happened, but I think there are many people who want to make their own profit by making fake ICOs or Bounties so we have to be careful when choosing Bounty for now.

the bad thing is that the bounty project in the year is still lacking if there are still a lot of frauds I hope there will be new regulations for the bounty project to be fixed in the agreement method with investors. in my opinion, in 2018 this is a little better because altcoin has grown and the number is increasing.

Becouse of bear market everything is changed.Shorting is new holding.But time is changing again and even hunting will be worthwhile

I did not participate in previous years in the bounty, but how much I get paid now makes me happy. bounty can bring a solid income and this is a fact

To be honest, for me in 2017, I get more profit from the bounty compared to 2018. Maybe when compared to the amount of money received last year, it got 9 times more than the current year. Probably because of the large number of bounties and airdrops that are not paid and many ico scams affect the revenue from the bounty. And at the moment I only focus on joining the bounty signature rather than the other bounties besides of course investing and trading to get income from cryptocurency

Last year was very sad. But if you do not compare it with 2017, then everything is not so bad.

2018 is a very unfortunate time for the bounty. Not only that the market has been falling continuously for a year, a lot of scam projects have appeared. Honestly, I already have thoughts of abandoning this occupation, but there is still hope for a better future.

Probably it was the worst year for a buntiess. Perhaps because of the influx of people who have become many times more ...

I can say that the bounty this year shows just terrible results. I still hope that next year the situation will change

Haven't seen a good bounty in a while.I still hope to earn something, but I feel that soon it will not be relevant.

Finding worthwhile projects has become harder, but who is looking, he will find. Rewards, of course, became lower, but it is natural, with increase in number of people in a bounty in all campaigns. Unfortunately ,not all of the projects that I liked, organize a bounty campaign.

to date, according to information from members of Bounty companies, almost the majority of all Bounty companies do not pay earned tokens. And those who paid, about the tokens or do not trade on exchanges, or dead weight are on purses.

I started to bounty just this year and I don’t know how they paid in 2017. But I did airdrop in 2017 and I’ll say that they paid for airdrop more than now for bounty. Of course there were not bad projects but units. everybody says that bounty has died and for me it's all a bearish trend.

in 2017 I just read the forum without registration, I was already satisfied with everything. In 2018 I decided to try the bounty, the first 2-3 months were all excellent, the tokens came one by one. Over time, interest disappeared) began to lead fewer companies, and more time to devote to the exercise of exchanges. My opinion, payments in 2018 were good only until the month of May.

in this year bounty reward is very low because bitcoin & altcoin falling down
example : you get reward $100 ( ico value ) but if sell it now you just get $10

This year is terrible. The prices of even good projects can not be matched by those from last year. I wonder if this is not a waste of time ...

In 2018, many bounty managers cut payments, and tokens become cheaper by 90%!

Companies like Snovio and FuzeX promised good rewards but cheated and paid very little

In 2017, the cryptocurrency reached its peak. The bounty campaigns awards were so good that you could buy a house a few months later. Unfortunately Golden time passed. It is hoped that this will happen again, but it is unlikely to happen. Now there are too many participants and too many scams, besides, the prices for cryptocurrency have not been growing for a long time. We just have to wait, and there will be seen how things will go on.

I have been through this situation wherein the project is really good but the marketing was poor and it could not achieve the softcap and I wasted 5 weeks of my time and there are bounties which were excellent and collected softcap within minutes but the market was really bleeding which just choked those project.

I feel good enough for the prizes that I got in 2017 when compared to 2018. I hope the market prices can soar as high as in the past 2017.

this year is the worst for Bounty. a lot of projects turned out to be scams and the rewards for the work are very low

Definitely worse than last year. But it is due to the negativities in the market wherein from the beginning of this year up until this point, downtrend is occuring which might have affected the outcome of the projects as well as the profit on bounties. If ever recovery would take over this year, changes on the outcomes would have a higher chance to be turned into positive as well.

I missed out of the golden opportunity of bounty in 2017. The year 2018 has not been too fair to bounty hunters especially new comers.

Yes, I also feel that this year it's very difficult to get good luck for Boutny Hunter from the current ICO project. There are many ICO projects now but investors rarely buy ICO now. Unlike in the past 2017, when the ICO started selling, investors had to compete to buy ICO tokens, so it was really cool for us, the Bounty hunters to get prizes.

2018 is a bad time for bounty and airdrop investor. But, I hope if I hold up to 2019 I can get more profit.

I missed chance last because that time is new to the crypto market.

From the first quarter of 2018 to the present I see many bounties that are not good and even many are lying differently when bounty in 2017. But I am optimistic that by the end of 2018 many bounties will succeed.

2017 bounties was paid well, but 2018 was the worst when it comes to shares and distribution and then the value itself, everything is decreasing in value., and some of my bounties was valued 1usd,just to be honest, so i am thinking of finding other sources of income aside from bounties.

In my opinion, this year was a difficult year for Bounty Hunter especially myself. I have participated in many bounties, but only a handful of projects pay me the right price. I think every year the bounty participants will definitely continue to grow.

I started to take part from the beginning of 2018, I have nothing to compare. Honestly I thought there would be more worthy work than$ 30 for 3 months!!! But I'm stopping and moving on. even in the hospital..

I follow bounty in 2018 and so far I've gotten 2 of the failed project. The rest is still try to listings in the market, probably because crypto is in the bad position so a lot of are also influential on the project that is currently running. Hopefully next year all get better soon.

yeah, you're right.
indeed in recent months the bounty hunters have difficulties because their income is not in line with expectations. but i'm still happy to be in it, because there are several projects that pay me more than i expected. i think it all depends on our effort to choose a legitimate project.

indeed every year the number of bounty hunter participation will continue to increase, but new projects will also continue to grow every year.

I just happen to join just this year and all I can say is that this has been my 4th signature campaign. In my previous 2 signature campaigns that  I had participated was not successful enough since I was not able to gain any token reward despite finishing the campaign till the end. So, I think that it could have been a scam ICO and the effort I had made was just a waste of time. I hope this year could be a good one and would suggest that before ICO's will be accepted to participate, they should undergo a thorough background check to become a compliant and legit ICO.

2018 is a bad year for ICOs and the bounty is part of the ICO. This year's number of spike participants and many scam projects leading to bounty encountered so many difficulties.

I believed the overall unfavorable market conditions could partly be attributed to the unsuccessful bounties this year, many ICOs could not reach Soft Cap automatically resulted to non payment of bounties while ICOs took investors fund and disappeared into the thin air having known that the market conditions wouldn't sustain their project, so far its a tale of woes by bounties participants.

Comparison I got an award between 2017 and 2018. 2018 is the worst year of my award in prizes.
The growth of crypto ICO and also the campaign of bounty of making participants in the bounty increased plus low prices on the market.

I can say that this year is not really profitable than last year because bounty campaigns nowadays are too crowded. Allocation in every campaign is not enough for all participants, i mean you can get your tokens but too low thats why i can say its better in the previous year.

Also, I see that the amount of investment ICO still increase monthly, but the bounty gradually less. I do not know if this is a sign of a bounty downturn

I agree with you . This year is not the year for ICO and Bounty projects as most of the current ICO projects do not attract big investors and are in the downtrend stage, so finding a good project is very difficult. Personally I only joined the bounty when earning a good ICO because the ability to earn good ICO projects is very low

In 2018, things are just awful. It is still possible to earn money, but not always this money justifies the spent efforts. Despite this, I still intend to continue to participate in the bounty campaigns.

This is the worst year for crypto. Didn't get the reasonable profit because of the bear market. Most of the good projects didn't flip more than 2x.

I can not compare, because I started bounty activity only in 2018 and I can compare with the fact that on airdrops last year I earned 10 times more than the bounty in the current one.

Throughout 2018, I managed to participate in both fraudulent and good or medium-sized bounty companies. For example, there were bounty companies from which I received $ 2000, $ 3, $ 100 or nothing at all.

2018 has been a mixed bad. I've been a victim of 4 scam ICOs, participated in one or two ICOs that didn't meet their soft cap and many others that have kept postponing their payments. Then they were those that came through.

Personally, 2018 is total mess for bounty hunters, token paid worth nothing, tokens become extremely difficult for team to pay, it has been rosy so far.

In general, if you analyze the situation of bounty companies in past years, then to date, companies are not the same as the re-arrival of participants gives their own decrease in the pool of companies also causes the conditions of companies

I would like to go back in 2017 because there were so many good bounties to join and the rewards were really great compared to this year because bounties today have a higher chance of scam.

Compared to 2017 bounty hunting has turned into a disaster.  When you get the rare payout it's usually valueless.  I bounty hunt for fun and to keep abreast of new projects however as far as money making goes 2016-2017 is where the big money was.  Way too many people and way too few quality projects.  You couldn't miss in 2017. 

Oh I wasn't here in 2017, I'm only registered in April 2018 so I have no experiences for 2017. But 2018 are still good bounty rewards, you need to choose a good bounty to ensure your good rewards.

      Bounties participants are increasing of heads from year 2017 to 2018 and the ICO are also increased but investors are decreased and it is very sad to say that scammers are also increased , and many ICO project are not successful , so generally it is not good for crypto industry this year .

My primary signature campaign through which I was poised to earn $10-20k (I was the only legendary member and Leg Mem had huge stakes) which took the course of over 2 months turned out to be an exit scam... So I've struggled somewhat. 2017 was definitely a more lucrative year thus far. Hopefully my current campaign rewards me handsomely, for it is also a long-term bounty campaign.

Hi there!

Last year was far more interresting then this year until now.
Alot of ico's are extending there sales and keep extending there bounty campaigns, tgis causes alot of friction along the participants.

Also alot of projects dont last long or arent profitable for bounty hunters this year, also airdrops are far less attractive and dont even come on exchanges. This all makes 2017 far better until now, lets hope for better days to come!!

Greetings! 8)

There are good bounties this year and so also will you find scam bounties. Also, not all of them are paying now, because they are waiting for the market to get better.

I doubt many people can actually boast of the kind of reward that was earned though bounty campugn last year. The timing is different now and it's better to use this bearish market time to learn other valuable skill in cryptocurrency!

I have no idea about how bounty works on 2017 because i started September 2018, for me the bounty rewards are quite good well there are some bounties that didn't pay but overall it's good and i made decent income out of it.

This year is very bad for bounty. Many campaigns do not pay tokens, some last from 2017, earnings are very small. Let there are a lot of disadvantages, but we have to participate.

This is bad enough but there are still some who are seen well. many factors make this became the thing that doesn't fit your expectations. the number of scams happens this clearly makes the main issue in this case and deeply troubling. coupled with the circumstances of crypto in the market which is not so good certainly makes the result of bounty is not satisfactory in this time.

My income this year was very far from last year, probably because of lack of thoroughness in
every action or lack of knowledge about new altcoins, but all of them might have time,
stay patient and hope to get more profit.

I think it's better to bounty in 2017 because the results obtained are greater than the bounty in 2018. This year the bounty reward is small and many bounties are scam.

in 2017, the awards were more if transferred to fiat money as the growth of coins was dynamic. Now it is much more than in comparison with last year

Everything is at its worst time this year,because bounty projects continuously falling,and even signature campaigns has no openings,i have been watching the service section for almost a year now but i find nothing but frustrations,and even Yahoo the most in demand campaign manager has open so few campaigns and ended even at 1 week only meaning that the company never see any potential from the investors to risk their money.so the answer is market is in bad shape and waiting for healing time

i can not say what it was to earn with bounties in 2017, but in 2018 the revenue is not very good. nevertheless, i continue to collect the bountie token and hope for a better price in the future.

Bounties are becoming more popular every year as a free source of income, but payments are also diminishing and sometimes just ridiculous. And this year is no exception, bears struck at all that is connected with the crypto-currencies.

This year we saw a large number of unsuccessful projects, scammers,as well as small payments for bounty compared with 2017. Now a large number of people participate in bounty, this also led to lower incomes.

except that the market is in a terrible state, bounty hunters divorced very much. Including bots. Projects do not collect anything, but where they collect a pool is divided into thousands of people and, in the end, pennies are obtained. So this year is definitely not the best

It's a double edged sword the amount of bounty coins I have been receiving is possibly slightly higher than in 2017, however the actual value either in ETH terms or FIAT has been dreadful this year. Even coins that were sold at 15c 50c $1 have been decimated and are worth a few cents at best or fractions of a cent at worst. Have seen potential project payout of few hundred $ become low double digits and hardly worth anything at all.

In my opinion the ICO is not going well so it is clear that doing bounties will be the same. It's very difficult for the project now to raise funds because the entire market has been bearish for some time. Now it needs to wait for next year. It is possible that in 2019 there will be interesting projects.

Bad. Very bad. In 2018, compared to 2017, almost nothing came to me. If earlier in 3-4 months of work in social networks, I could get 300-500 dollars, but now it's 20-30 dollars. I just feel sorry for my time. It is better to find a normal job.

I can compared that 2017 ICO bounty project are mostly promising and successfully launch in the market, were few  bounty campaign have come into a scam, but this year 2018 have come a lot of scam ICO which mostly project has unable to reach even the softcap, due lack of funded.

Maybe the reason why this year’s bounties seems to be poor compared to the bounties that were done last is because last year there was a pump and the price of coins for every bounty were high and people kept on investing which made the price to be high. But this year is different, everyone is looking for a way out and selling their coins. I think that might be the reason.

Bounty reward in 2018 is worse than 2017 for sure, no one want to invest at this time because of down trend, bounty pool will decrease and ICO quantity also drop. Bad time  for bounty hunter

Bounty this year is so long my payments all been hold and some of those are scam project.

I expecting the best Bounty so far that I found this year is WPP but it was extended and will run another 2months.

I started the bounty at the end of 2017, and at that time it was much easier to earn than it is now. A lot of companies for 2018 or not completed, or not paid, or paid but little. The most annoying thing is that a lot of companies infinitely extend the bounty indefinitely. This is very frustrating, although I understand that the market is stagnating, and when growth begins, everything will be different

    Bounty Campaign was a lot worst really, you've spend timing for almost 4 months then you got nothing, it was scammed. But on the positive note i have so much to learned on the topic and reply as posted, some grossly worst and some are educational. Some rewards are a bit less than before, something like not well compensated on the time spend.

in my opinion, bounty 2018 decreased slightly, probably because many investors started not being interested in bounties, because they were often exposed to scams. compared to 2017 bounty, many bounties are successful and profitable. there are equally bad bounties in 2017 and 2018, but more in 2018.

I think the current bounty is getting worse because the bounty allocation is getting smaller but the work for bounties is getting much, and also procedures and requirements are more stringent

The coin value is worse than 2017 maybe because the price has dropped dramatically, but in terms of the number of campaigns that are better followed in 2018

I can't be objective about it, as they still consider themselves new to this environment. But I can say for sure that in 2018, has become less to hear stories about the big awards for the bounty of the campaign. My friends still have not received awards for projects that were still in the beginning of the year.

Comparing year 2017 with 2018 in crypto space and bounties is like comparing the Moon and Earth. If project do not do well collecting funds in ICOs then automatically the bounty hunters receives less rewards.

Bounties pay very little. It is necessary to choose carefully projects but I cannot find the good project. It is necessary to look for on all Internet now

This year is very bad for bounty hunter, because to many participant, scam procect, and if the ICO successful, they sell cheap price. Hope in 2019 will better for Bounty and Airdrop hunter.

2018 is a hard year for bounty hunters. Even if I earned a lot of coins, after the ICO gone live on exchanges, it dropped. But I am holding them, because it does not make any sense to sell such coins as from Shivom, thats ICO price was 0,12 USD for 0,007 USD now.

The bounties this year were very bad. There are some projects that are likely to be promising in the future, but it is necessary to choose projects very carefully and wait a few years.

I can say that this year no profit compared to last year. Today's bonuses are less profitable because of too many people involved. Every campaign is not enough for all participants, you can get your card but get less because the bonuses are divided for many.

maybe this is affected by the fall in the price of Bitcoin or an unfavorable market, so there are many Bounties scamps and fail. so in the future I think it will be the same as now, depending on market conditions.

Before 2017 there were not much ICOs, not much scams and not much bounty participants - everyone got rewarded nice. Than in 2017 there were a lot of ICOs with good rewards but not much participants, so if you had good rank that time you may have great rewards. Scam also increased.
Now in 2018 there are many participants, and many scam projects - that's why reward through the year is low compare to previous times

According to my bounty in 2018, when the BTT introduced the jr.member account policy must have a merit upward is a right thing, because if too many accounts that will be a strong spam on this forum and help to fraudulent ICO projects

Maybe a miracle will happen and all the bounty campaigns in which I participated will pay the tokens that I deserve. But I'm not sure about that. I worked five months in 2018 and the desire to continue working in the bounty campaigns has become much less. Patiently I wait, I hope for the best.

I receive most of my bounty tokens this year so I cannot make a good comparison. Currently, most of them are not really performing well in the market but that's understandable since these coins/tokens are still new.

Huge differences but that's down to more people joining them - so the stakes are diluted big time, and that many ICO's have failed rendering the token useless. Then of course, those who sell their bounty rewards - also have a knock on effect on the token or coins price.

Until the market stabilises, investors return to help projects - I don't think we will see much profits.

ICOs this year are the worst I've seen. Why is it? Maybe because the unexpected collapse of Ethereum while the ICOs are crowndfunding with a low number of Ethereum due to its high value that time and after months passing by the Ethereum collapse making the ICO tokens equivalent in fiat become low. This time for the ICOs started running while Ethereum is low would have a chance to have a success if ever Ethereum comes back to its peak price and still growing.

I can tell that Bounties in 2018 is really the toughest part. Because the entire crypto market is almost falling. Bitcoin drastically makes the Altcoins nearly paralyzed so that Bounty campaigns become difficult by ICOS campaigns as well. Bounty is generally made without feeling safe as in 2017. ??? ??? ??? ???

Practically all the ICOs in which I participated this year did not give me the income I was counting on.

It is regrettable that by the end of 2017 and early 2018 we have not joined the market. but still quite happy because some projects like MTC, POLY, Hur ..

One of the best bounties this 2018 which started last September is the bounty from TAUcoin. This is one of the promising cryptocurrencies around and they are very generous in giving bounties as long as you are active. It uses POT (Proof of transaction) which is an experimental consensus algorithm to determine which mining club will generate the next block, the more transaction history weight in the club, the high probability to get new block. TAU proposes a fast, fair and secure currency without inflation. You guys should check it out.

well, i earn much more back in 2017 almost all the bounties i've joined were all good and i gained large amount of profits, but this year almost all the bounties i've joined in is neither a fake ICO or it would be stopped.

far better than 2017, the increase in price I salute the year 2017, in 2018 alone it's a pity that the decline is far from my expectations.

I hope the storm passes by this month  :) :) :) :)

I actually stay as much far as possible from the bounties. Bounties can actually prove profitable sometimes but for me, it is a waste of time unless and untill the project for the bounty is really that potential. The last time i joined the bounty was the project with a verified and successful past experienced team and also the project had a working product before hand.

I only trust those projects who atleast present a working product during their Initial Coin Offering phase as it makes my faith in them rise 100x. Also if we compare bounties fron 2017 to 2018, i think 2018 has not been that good as most of the bounties have been scam in this year. Last year there were some good projects who gave enormous profits and that will make the bounties in 2017 better than bounties in 2018.

in my opinion, between 2017 and 2018, the bounty is better in 2017.  The results of the bounty in 2017 were more than the bounty in 2018, I really felt that.

And most of the  rewards from bounty now is too low not like the 2017 bounty rewards are very huge.
But if you  compare the 2018 bounty rewards in the past few years you will say that 2018 is great.

If we compare with the year 2017, this year the situation on the Bounty is catastrophic. Revenues have fallen dozens of times. All those who participated in this business last year - now completely discouraged.

In 2017 less people were attending and projects tend to act better on exchanges.

Right now more people and worse act on exchanges.

I also enjoy the new rules, because the signature campaigns have too many jr members to join. I was embarrassed to participate in the signature campaign because it had many people who had participated before

The simple fact is 2017 many people still do not understand well to analyze ICO projects. They just listen to their relatives advised to invest and will earn big profits in a short time, it makes the bounty easy.

If i can compare it with number.
i would say 1:20 2018 bounty earning compared to 2017.
Also it's harder to find good projects in 2018, too many scam projects

Last year, for a bounty, you get at the price of ICO at $ 1,000 - you sell $ 1,000 + at the exchange. this year you get $ 1,000 for the price of ico, and on the stock exchange you sell for $ 50 at best

I see that in 2017 many bounties have succeeded and have been able to penetrate the bear market with good value, but this year there have been many bounties that have been delayed, targets have not been fulfilled.

Well so far so good bounty this year have been so worst to that of 2017 what people make out of bounty in last year is what drives me to it and it turns out that not in anyway good this year, and why because there are a lot of fake out there which will end up without paying for what you worked for and another thing is that I think is the number of the participants these days you only have little share of the staked. The worst is working 2 months for a particular campaign and end up earning just $10 what a year of bounty 2018 is something else bro..

I personally think that the awards in 2018 became more and administration is bounty improved. But there are more scams so ico to participate in the bounty of the company has become more difficult to choose.

I cannot compare this with last year, because this year I actively joined the forum, but I understand that revenues have fallen dramatically, due to a number of factors, such as an increase in the number of participants and market stagnation.

In 2018, it is quite difficult to choose good bounty companies, because there are almost no such projects, but still sometimes there are good ICO, like UBEX, in whose bounty I will gladly participate.

there is significant difference between 2017 and 208 in bounties, more than a half campaigns from 2018 still didn't even pay out rewards... and of course tons of scams as always... i'm really tired of such shit.

2018 very bad than 2017. there are many good bounties in 2017 and there are bad bounties in 2018 ;D
in 2018, we have to carefull because there are many shit bounties ;D

It seems to me that the year 2018 was not a very profitable year for bauti. A lot of time is spent on the robot, and the profit is about 0 if we compare it with 2017.

Participation in the bounty, as well as in ICO in 2018, is very unprofitable compared to 2017. In 2017, there were high expectations from the crypto industry, but not all regulators and commissions agreed with this.

Of course this year the bounty is not very happy, in 2017 I got from airdrop to 200, and now even with high-yield bounty comes less than 100, I think when the market changes from bear to bullish values will return)

Way too worse than what have I earned last year. The projects this year are mostly failing and giving no profit to the investors as well as bounty participants. The outcome of the projects highly reflects the bounty projects
 Most of the hardqork of the bounty hunters are not being paid this year. Many people have already quit due to such scenario but the right thing to do is to just be patient and to wait for recovery.

2018 is my first time to join in bounties but I think it is worst time because some of campaign I've  join even the manager was knowing always a scam and the other campaign was still on pending for listing on exchange that o think resulting on scam so it hard to believed that most of my bounties was scam and nothing happen on distributing and listing on exchange.

2018 is very bad. Starting in the middle of the year until the end of the year, almost 50% of the bounties that I have participated in have not distributed rewards, some have been extended, some have postponed listings, and some have been blocked. If there are tokens that can be sold, the price is very cheap. It seems we have to be patient, hopefully, the delayed payments can be realized in 2019.

I think bounty campaign in 2018 is terrible :). It's very difficult to find out a good bounty campaign in 2018 while you could find out good bounty campaign by choosing randomly in 2017 :(. I don't know how bounty will be in 2019, hope it'll be better.

This year has proven to be the worst year for bounty campaigns, even the good ones turned bad. To find a good bounty is more or less like a war. I just hope for a better 2019.

If we compare bounty in 2018 and 2017, of course 2017 is great moment for bounty, 2018 bounty is so hard, we only receive some penny because the market so low,  so that it will affect to token price. I think 2018 is time to collect and hold. But for me i still believe in bounty, This is my favorite income

I think with the current market i will say bounties have been really terrible most value for tokens fell hugely bad before you are even issued the token so is better to just hodl and also the numbers of participants have doubled with mostly less work or half work no following instructions

Well because I'm new here to take you bounties it's hard for me to find a good one that give me a great reward. Actually the previous that I participate they still not pay us but I know it will take time get the rewards and maybe because bearish market too.

all have changed. many bounty last year has a ICO successful because of the coins are so high that time. but in 2018 its hard to find right bounty because of its low quality tokens, because they based in coins. and the coins now is very low thats why they cannot selling there token high.

Compared to the statements of my well known crypto friend users, their crypto bounty reward is not that same in the last 2017. They said that after a month the bounty is already paid, but now, it takes almost three months in order to distribute the reward to the bounty participants.

Compared to last year (2017), the bounty reward is so much different in value.
Many coin price are dropping, thus making the value of the reward isn't as high as previous year.

this year's bounty comparison and 2017 are like heaven and earth are very different.
this year the bounty is completed almost 3 months or 4 months while in 2017 a month or 2 months can generate $ 1000.
now to get $ 100 is very difficult.

2018 is a bad year for crypto. not just in the bounty but also provide trade and investment impact of bad. of course, this is also because it is the cycle of the crypto this year began to fall and make it all also experienced a decrease in price. It can be seen from the results of that bounty may be predicted precisely the great value for a low price.

Unfortunately I only started on bounty campaigns in early 2018 in which the market is not that good so I never experienced how good bounty campaigns on 2017. But based on my friends, bounty campaigns on 2017 are all legits and no scam. And the best thing they say is that it is trading at ico price and higher once it hits the exchanges.

It's been a terrible experience with bounties in 2018. So many inconclusive campaigns. Those that concluded may not pay and even when paid will not be listed in exchange.  Added to the fact that the market in 2018 is appalling.

bounty in the year 2018 gives unsatisfactory results. only a few can produce great fortunes of bounty and the remaining is not feasible at all to be sold in this time. in the long term need to hold this year's bounty results in 2018 to be able to give a profit approaching price ICO.

In start of 2k18 is a good start but after the bounty campaign results are not much greater and also reward only few of them are better other all are not you can say it 2k17 is heaven year for bounties and 2k18 not like that.

I find less and less bounty either projects with infinite duration or projects of no value. Many people participation bounty so the rewards is not enough with time spent, making this become increasingly waste of time.

Comparing to 2017, i think this year is worse. I stalked some of bounties last year and amazed by high reward that bounty hunters received at that time. Nowadays, it's hard to get above $100 in a campaign. When i got nice reward from a campaign early this year, i was thinking to abandon my part-time job and focus on bounty work but i decided to keep my part-time job as the crypto market is too volatile. Glad that my decision is right.

I think this question doesn't need an answer, as everyone knows already about the condition of cryptocurrency along with the bounty program.
Everything took a big hit from the condition, but i hope next year will be the time for the fixed on everything that has turned bad.

I happened to join in the crypto is still in the year 2018, so I do not know exactly what kind of comparison. but in 2018 this I'm grateful with what I get, though now it had undergone shock therapy because of slumping prices.

Cripto is easily changed like that so we have to be more vigilant because someday the value can change. this year was indeed a bad year for Crypto, the bounty hunter was very alarming because it was different from last year. wave market, so it's not easy to get a lot of profits. You have to have a side job if the market is in its current condition, because if you rely on Crypto results, now it's very difficult.

So far bad. I earned a lot in airdrops in 2017 than compared to bounties that I did in 2018.

Oyster pearl airdrop alone was worth $15k at one time.

For me its not a good time for bounty, the reward isn't as big as what we could gain during 2017.
I'm rooting for next year to be a good year for cryptocurrency, along with bounty campaign.

Comparison of 2017 - 2018 is total a big deal.

2017 was the greatest time for airdrops,bounties and ICOs but this year has been bad due to many complications. Never had into airdrops or bounties or an ICO but comparing this year, I can say that this has been a drought year for these space.

For me 2017 is a very profitable moment, many successful ICO projects and valuable bounties and airdrops. At the beginning of 2018 the bounty is still very profitable but it is very different when entering Q2 2018 to date.

I agree with you, starting from the middle of 2018 the ICO project is not very profitable because the more that it ends with a Scam, different from last year to get a reward is very easy and many of a bounty project, I can get up to 5-10 eth in one join successful ICO project.

2018 is a bad year for bounty hunters , the reward I earned  was very low , the price of market fell a lot and the number of bounty hunters were higher . 2018 may be a tough year for bounty hunters and market participants 

I think, 2018 is a bad year for crypto so of course it affects the development of the bounty, the results that I got from the bounty this year are very different from 2017, what I got is not worth what I did

Virtually all the bounty for the year 2018, the coins remaining in the wallet. And now a lot of participants, many of whom are scammers. Almost destroyed the bounty of the company. So that virtually nothing and not sold.

nowadays it is difficult to find a good bounty because the crypto market that is not good makes the price of tokens from the bounty not good, so what I get now is not as I expected

The bounty depends on the trend of market. When we have reached peak price and a lot of people are rushing becuase they can become a millionaire instantly through doing a little effort by investin on the profitable ico. it might come again in the future dude.

By comparing with 2017, I would say my bounty rewards was not good this year. As this year was the worst for all crypto supporters. From January to December, the crypto market kept going down in 2018, that's why a lot of good projects postponed their ICO/Bounty, or exchange listings! Even many projects locked up their tokens! So, its all about the crypto market condition, if the crypto market does well in 2019, then bounty rewards will be good too!

2018 has not been so good for bounties when compared to 2017 because a lots of things had not gone so well in the crypto space,bounty managers had reduced most of the stakes rewards in 2018 while it was better in 2017

what is certain is that this year's bounty campaign program is worse when compared to previous years, this year according to me there are a lot of bounty campaign programs that end in scam, for some reason now more and more bounty campaigns are scam, even today there are still many bounties campaign that ends in a scam, perhaps because of the worsening crypto situation is also one of the reasons why there are now many bounty campaigns that are scam.

Very big different, last is the bullish year in 2017 almost all coins is rising up on its price value compare this current year 2018. This year is the deepest year of crypto, token and coin almost worth priceless due to very low on price value. Just hoping that this coming next year will recover.

The current state of cryptocurrency is worrying compared to 2017, the development of cryptocurrency has fallen by more than 50% now, and the number of altcoins that have failed to achieve soft caps. so many people start switching from cryptocurrency. but I personally still believe bitcoin and altcoin in 2019 will rise again.

If you compare these rewards with 2017, there were awful. At least 50 percent of all projects have not distributed the rewards yet and 30 percent are not even live on any exchange at the moment.

2017 had many legit projects which really profitable even for airdrops. I gained lot from good projects and projects followed the end of campaign even the distribution of rewards where you cannot wait much longer to listed it on the market. Entering from 2017 can encourage towards you to invest in bitcoin and other crypto unlike today that much requirements needed but in the end you earned nothing.

I did not participate in bounty campaigns in 2017, but I was lucky to be in a team of people who had such experience and became rich. As my friends note and as I have seen from my experience, 2018 has become a difficult year for bounty hunters, but the opportunity to earn still remains, you just need to more carefully select projects to participate.

If I compare my rewards back in year 2017 to this year of 2018 I really understand the feeling of other people who make their effort to get paid of their participated campaigns and it makes me really cinfused if I should participated again in some bounties or just put my time in trading because it is the best other way to earn great profit in this situation.

I think the bounty campaigns compromised themselves in the second half of 2018. Firstly, the majority of tokens paid as bounty rewards have collapsed tens and hundreds of times. Secondly, many ICO projects couldn’t collect the necessary sums or simply ceased operations during the recession in the crypto market, and as a result, the bounty hunters didn’t receive rewards, having worked idle  for a long time.

I would say that after May 2018, the topic of bounty lost its former attractiveness, I think this was supported by the high price of ETH which was due to this, payments decreased!

If I compare my income in 2017 with 2018, the difference is very far. 2018 is a bad year for crypto users. Crypto prices almost go down every day. And in my opinion, this is the lowest peak.

Bounty rewards are not quite impressive this year at all. Ever since begining of the fall in those coins, bounty rewards have been very low. I just hope things get better next year, because this year is already out of it. Also, there are more of fake projects this year.

In the first half of 2018 I got even more then in the second half of 2017, but second half of 2018 was very disappointing, bounty turns into wasting of time.

The current market conditions are generally not good. Don't count on how much profit the rewards will bring, but I will insist on doing it.

I never join in any bounty campaign last 2017, paying altcoin  but based on my observation the difference between bounty in 2017 and bounty 2018 are the following.

Bounty in in the year of 2017 is good and there is only a few scam bounty but in the year 2018 there are many scam bounties that are scattered in the altcoin bounties section.

This year is reversed with 2017, this year we need to strengthen patience so we don't panic easily and become calm even though market conditions are too tragic. Hold it, and that will be an advantage in the future, because the market can rise again.

There were projects that are well given to earn this year , but at the expense of fake bounty they were before this year, you just need to of course carefully choose not to have spent time

Yes very disappointed this year 2018 unlike begore in the past year 2017,many of our mates here has been very blessed by big rewards,but now look us many of us now are waiting for a long time till when our tokens to be listed on the market exchange,but i am still hoping for the recovery,i am not losing hope also.

2018 I just got a prize and for me it's good for me even compared to those who were first active in the bounty. But for me, all good or bad at getting a prize depends on luck.

Last year, almost any project made a profit. This year the situation has changed. Over the past three months I have not been able to sell anything. Now I just collect the coins and store them. Perhaps some of them will bring at least some profit in the future.

The Bounty program for 2017 and 2018 is certainly very different. I do not know the factors that affect it all. And coupled with the price of cryptocurrencies that declined this year. So the bounty of 2017 has declined so far in my experience. But I can only surrender and follow the path of all this.

Well bounties in 2018 is same like 2017 with more scammer or etc, but if you get lower than you expect then it's not because the bounties it's because entire market have a blood bath, lower price and so on makes your earning looks bad but that's the fact. yeah 2017 is best year for crypto yet.

Luck plays a big role in the results we will get as a bounty hunter because we cannot be sure that the project is really good. moreover now there are so many failed gifts so we really need luck, but still you must be prepared to accept the worst results the most important is we have tried it.

bounties are worst after first half of year. Some of the bounties is still pending. It is the worst scenario. i am still waiting for the payment.

If we will compare the 2 years of having bounty! you can add the airdrop also on this as same situation will occur.
2017 is way far better than 2018. or we can't compare them.
as 2017 is compose of 1 percent scam and 2018 is compose of less than fifty percent scam if not no value.

Bounties realy perform badly in 2018. Many good project not able to collect fund because of negetive crypto trend Nd proove to be scam. The main reason is negetivity,lack of practical utility, govt. Ban in different countries and lack of knowledge among people. But once crypto bounce back these bounties also start coin well

They also studied in 2018 with the help of pundi X Bounty, the company earned a lot of money and all participants who worked in this project received a good income. But apparently this is one of the few companies that has performed well this year.

Most of the bounties this year isn't profitable or isn't paying much,
Most of them are scam or if they aren't scam most of them are dump right now.
So bounties isn't good this year.

The reasons are solely in payouts. Of course, when everything was good and there was an influx of new people, everyone dreamed of getting rich on bounty, then the situation radically changed, and those who came for a quick profit also quickly left the market.

Bounties in 2018 are scams and maximum bounty campaign never pay payments . And all of them are projects fail in ico and sometimes they failed in announcement of exchanges.

So far so good for me this bounty in this year alone 2018, because i was started joining bounty late in 2017 and it was rewarded on the following year which was 2018. And in terms of reward amount, it is a huge for me. Therefore bounties in 2018 is a gift for me.

I of course in 2017 only did airdrop, only in 2018 came to the bounty , and so far of course the payments were not very large , but I think that when the market will unfold payments that were carried away much

2018, for me personally, was a difficult year. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare him with, because I met him at the beginning of 2018 with the crypt. But all my expectations were not fulfilled. Spent time, effort and energy did not bring proper satisfaction. I earned little. I hope 2019 will be the beginning of welfare for me and all the bountists.

i do not believe in bounty campagns as i think that it is important for us to understand you will never be able to make easy money

as we can see bounties become more strict with rules. i think they improved all the same, and i expect it will do so futher more in the next year. though many turned out to be scams

So bad, if this trend continues also in next year, probably we will pay to do bounty campaigns :D.
I hope that soon bounty campaigns will be again profitable because if not, I have to find a real job :(

The awards in 2018 are very small. The rewards dropped exponentially. This was a very unfavorable means of income. A lot of people try to deceive developers and therefore payments become even less. Projects need to come up with new marketing schemes. Bounty's no longer relevant.

Well, if you look at the cryptocurrency market in 2018, then you can say what’s not like.

I don't know about 2017 because I started bounty in 2018. So for me, it has been very very good and I believe it could have been better if we had a bull run

I can make a simple summary for you!
Since July of this year, I have participated in more than 15 bounty activities. So far, less than 3 events have rewarded me. Their deception rate is over 80%!

in my opinion it's good, because it pays and doesn't scam but the amount that you get is reduced because the market price is declining. But I still hold on, who knows the end of the year can rise very sharply

100% bounty that starts in 2018 no one has paid or launched in the exchange rates. because the new bounty began in 2018 together with the fall of the crypto market and has not yet improved. The chart shows that the funds obtained by ICO are currently declining dramatically and that is one of the reasons for delaying the distribution of tokens and also launching to the market exchange to avoid extreme low exchange rates. 2018 bounty is not better than 2017.

in fact the numbers are almost the same between 2017 and 2018, what distinguishes now is that many projects in 2017 are successful but in 2018 many have not been successful, I think next year will decrease if at the beginning of the year there has been no improvement in market prices, because great is at the price.
the better the price of this coin will be the spirit of the new project.

Unfortunately, my experienced in bounty was a waste of time due to project unable to make it success. My current signature now is looking good providing their platform and complete detailed written in the sites. I hope this will become successful.

To be honest, the year 2018 was extremely unfortunate, although there were projects that were able to achieve promising results!

It really makes me sad in participating in a particular bounty campaigns because it is really hard to earn a better amount of rewards now. And I think it would be more hard to get a bigger one this coming year if the market won't increase the value of any currency unlike those days of 2017 that gives me a chance to buy something helpful in doing task in bounty campaigns I participated.

no, this year I haven't gotten anything. starting from bounty, airdrop and even ico and trading investments. nothing is satisfying. I hope that next year can be a little different.

The comparison is so different, last is the bullish year while now is the bearest and not the time for crypto inthusiast. As experience even the participation in bounties is in the whole month is not worth. But that the reality here in crypto the price is not permanent and always flactuating even an minute it change always.

The rewarding task in 2018 is very poor! The downturn in the market has led to many projects that cannot be raised!
Many bounty hunters get no tokens after completing the mission!

Well in a bear market it's hard to raise an ICO, compare the last bull market when almost any ICO got like 2x (well there was an exception).

So it impacts the bounty side too when the amount of money that pours in the ICO getting less and less. Especially when the token hit the market, the price will almost guarantee got like 50% drop.

but on the bright side, some ICO that's has a good fundamental will prevail, even at the bear market where they got listing at the exchange, the price will recover.

Bounty this year is really bad for me yo be honest from all of the bounties that I participated this year only 1 of them have a value,
And whats worst it wast listed in some top exchange sites so I only earn less than $100 from all of the bounties this year.

2018 can’t be called a great year. Though the projects were interesting. However, now it is not clear what will happen next with the ICO itself. If projects 2018 do not enter the market at a good price. Many investors will leave the market. Thus, we will begin big problems.

Unfortunately, it should be stated that the bounty is losing its relevance and it is unlikely that there will be such a mass next year. Of course, with a turnaround of the market, a certain percentage of the bounty will come out, but their profitability will be scanty. The time of big money passes

I definitely agree with you, I do have some tokens which up until now still doesn't have a value. I was thinking that the team are also affected with the current situation because they seem to hodl and same strategy which they are waiting for the market to boom.

The market for 2018 is not very good, and the rewards that are won are mostly non-valued tokens.

when compared between prizes in 2017 and 2018, of course, it is very different because in 2018 this prize that we won was worthless and maybe for some people to be down, and stopped being a bounty hunter now.

Bounties in the year 2018 are not very good if there are so many good projects. Due to the bounty which is not good many bounty hunters stop cryptocurrency. so that in the year 2019 the beautiful bounty.

The bounty releases in the year 2018 are not very good, because maybe at low bitcoin prices but there are so many bounty bounty and some bounty is dead too many scam projects.

Participating in bounty at this time comes with a lot of cold feet especially when one is coming with huge expectation. Particularly I got my most reward from airdrops nut joined bounty in the middle part of 2018. I have come to understand the reality in the market and the challenges associated with bounty participation. It could really be discouraging not received any meaningful rewards but I decided to be steadfast and have fun with it while hoping to get lucky with one soon

There are so many good bounties but more bad bounties are the ones coming out in the year 2018 due to bitcoin collapse. but by the end of this year there are bounties that are good to come out.

2018 was the worse year for me as hunters, many bounty i had participated mostly was scam and unsuccesfull project, so sad for me.

There is no doubt that 2017 was much better and more profitable than the current year for all participants in the bounty campaigns. Right this whole year is in a downtrend, projects are difficult to raise funds for ICO, many of them postpone the date of the ICO and, accordingly, extend Duration the campaign bounty. Also, the cost of tokens that we get for participating is small. I really hope that in 2019 the market situation will improve and participation in the bounty campaigns will again be profitable.

Very many people in this topic write that bounty campaign lose its relevance. However, all of them have a signature in the profile. So they still have hope for the future! ;D ;)

A lot depends on the projects you choose to work for.  There are so many out there now, sometimes 3-5 new ones per day or more, that it's easy to miss any "good" ones, which is almost impossible to know when they first start out anyway.  Part of it at this stage is luck.

Another part is the amount of money sloshing around the crypto space is orders of magnitude lower with many more participants than last year.  So, it seems despite the fact the bear market is grinding all our sentiment and hope to dust, the popularity of crypto is slowly increasing regardless.  The markets will likely remain close to what they are now or worse as the money men have firm control at the moment, and the mood in crypto is somber - just the way they want it.

The controllers will continue to slam markets seeking investors to capitulate until the masses wake up to the monetary abuse they've suffered under for so many generations, and start piling into crypto.  At that point, it will be like 2017 all over again AND THEN SOME!

Everyone who knows about crypto should be bringing it up in conversations with people as much as possible.  Awareness is all that's missing at this point.  Everything else is in place, a world reserve currency that's reaching its mathematical lifespan limit, governments around the world are realizing their citizens are unhappy with their actions and it's causing increased social unrest, the media is always talking about war breaking out, the amount of people getting into crypto now is starting to increase, England has refused to give Venezuela's gold back, and the futures laid out for younger generations is bleak.

The facade is beginning to crack.  It won't be long before the curtains are pulled back in the theater, exposing the brick wall there.

There is no doubt when the big crisis hits, people will be spending their fiat on anything they think will hold value.  And because the vast majority of human beings cannot yet afford gold or even silver, cryptocurrencies will shine with the brightness of the sun one day soon.

Heard of people making $10,000 from a single bounty in 2017. Pretty sure we'll never replicate that.
It sucks that you're getting nothing for your effort nowadays though.

its being our risk in cryptocurrency market.,especially in bounty campaign.some projects has good team and developtment but some of them didnt have it.so its progress so long to wait it listed to market.

At all times, earnings depended primarily on the prospects of projects and the amount of funds invested in them.
With the fall of the crypto market, the number of promising projects has greatly decreased, as well as investments have decreased significantly.
However, there are projects where you can still earn.

The year was very weak, many companies did not withstand such a fall in the market and left. In addition, the bountists sell their coins and further upset the course. There is no one who will buy coins. We need a strong growth of the entire market!

Do you think we need comparison of both year help the situation we already seen it all this year about bounty and a lot of scam project which leads to wasting of time on some of them which happens to lower the rewards earned this year.

and this year I became less involved in any bounty as costameres and was not interested to spend their time. but there was a good bounty where a lot of the coins raised himself.I wait until their price rises.

I've been paid in bounties this 2018 for twice only, then most the rest of the bounty are still pending up to the present time now.
It can't be deny that most ico this year became scam in the end, or didn't reach mostly their softcap target too. Its very far compare
2017 bounty campaigns were most of it run only for 1 or 2 months.

Well, I think compare to other past years, this is the lowest deep fall of market price. Bounty this year is also not good because many campaign become scams thats why many bounty hunters has a doubt to participant. However, Even though our bitcoin was down today still I am looking forward to a better market price this coming 2019. I am hoping that 2019 brings us a good wealth.

This year, in order to make money, you have to strain in comparison with the previous year, this is translation, writing articles, videos and of course trading!

Previously, we complained that the payment of $ 100 is too little, now we do not get anything, and those payments seem to be more acceptable. If this continues, we will have to look for a new job. In any case, it is better to work at a normal job for a small salary than in a bounty for free.

in 2018 most of the bounty did not bring profit. The overall falling trend in the cryptocurrency market had a negative impact on this industry.

Yes, this year there was a lot of good and not so good! There were great companies that gave hope, and also not very good ones!

I do not want to list all my bounty campaigns. However, I can say with confidence that revenues have fallen significantly. This is due to a huge number of scammers from projects and multi-accounts of bounty hunters.

This year I just started to participate in the bounty. I earned very little, and in this autumn and winter months i earned coins that simply lie on my wallet and are not being traded anywhere. In general, it did not earn anything, but it did not lose anything.

2018 bounty rewards for me are much worse than in 2017 was. The year is still ongoing but there many projects postponed
the payout or waiting with listing or their coins significantly dropped in value after listing so it is impossible for me to compare
the two years but it will be a bad year for me comparing to the last year, but not complaining as I will hodl until the market recover.

Its very bad compaired in 2017. There are so many bounty campaign that did not pay us. And even some campaign pay. The value of their tokens are very small.

This year is not a good year for bounty hunters. There are so many bounty campaign that extend their project. And the duration is very long before they pay the bounty hunters.

Certainly better 2017, because there are many good projects or no scams, rewards are very good, bounty participation still small, and the cryptocurrencies market has bullish trend.

I unfortunately did not participate in the 2017 bounty campaigns in 2017 but this year I could not earn anything

In addition, many allocations are cut. The price is also very low when listing on the market, quite far below the price of Ico. This year the bounty hunters must be patient. Many development teams are delaying token listings because of this poor market, tokens have been locked for some time, even months. Hopefully next year there will be a good development.

There is not a single chance that the campaign bounty can again bring us as much profit as it did in 2017

2018 was really bad. I totally earned nothing since most bounty that I have joined this year have no value. Some of them are scam, some have no value, some are on a frozen state, some are shit coins. I hope that something good will happen next year since I have wasted a whole year joining campaign this year.

This year was not as successful for the bounty as the last but still there is an opportunity to earn. I think that many members of the bounty are used to getting a lot and for many it seems that the bounty is completely dead.

I am a new participant at Bitcointalk, so I have never tried bounty in 2017
but in my opinion, this bountys in 2018 is not bad, I have produced 5-7 ETH as long as I am a bounty participant in this forum

everyone complains a lot but I can tell you that I earned very well in 2018 on bounty campaigns

2017 give you really high profit because not many bounty hunters at that time did the bounty.

Obviously, 2018 is not the year for bounties. Majority of ICO turns out to be a scam and so as bounties. This is something we could avoid if those scammers were caught or reported. What's happening is that they always get away with what they have done and other scammers just followed their path. The moment an investor lost trust on crypto, they will pull out their money and it will really affect the market situation just like the nose dive that has happened last week.

For this now there is a lot of bounty campaign the token that they reward to the participants is not good because participants spend to much effort and few months . But in 2017 there is a lot of participants get their reward very high the value of the token.

well I didn't join bounty until 2018 so i won't say about 2017 but what i know is that when i join early this year, bounty returns was good but coming down this ending of the year, it's not been really good.

Last year I don't have any idea what is bounty but my friends got rich their,  I mean they have savings and bought house and lot. Maybe compare last year the Bounties are profitable because of the market situation which very impressive. This year only the first 5 months are profitable,  after that most of the ICO is scam and investors lose their trust that is why the market now is getting dip. Still last year is the best. And because  of this market,  many of our co hunters stop doing bounty campaign.
