Bitcoin Forum

Many well-known bounty managers we have seen in the past seem to have disappeared collectively in recent months.
Of course, the “disappeared” here does not mean that they are missing, but their bounty topics.
I made a list here and we can see that they have no any new bounty topic for at least 2 months.

There are very many small bounty managers with their bounty topics have been disappeared for a long time, I have not listed.
In addition，yahoo62278 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=355846), Lauda (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101872) have no new bounty topic for a long time,but are still active. I am not sure if they will fall asleep too.
These bounty managers used to be very busy, but now in this bear market, they are collectively unemployed. When a noisy market is experiencing a cold winter, everything goes to silence, whether it is a bounty hunter or a bounty manager.
Maybe the best wintering method in winter is hibernation.

      
   

The case o aTriz has been commented in some posts and even in telegram. The others may very well be simply spending some time in sunny beaches spending their crypto. I hope.

Also you forgot to add Deadley. I think there are a lot of reasons why they left now and not to worry about it.

I've finished 2 bounties from sylon right now and haven't get any paid, what happened in bounty nowadays makes bounty hunters not pay attention to it anymore. And right now there's no light point of this.

Now a lot of new managers who are no worse than the previous and perhaps even better. Now there are few projects that are really worth attention and the competition among managers is also not small

I don't think it's scary. We have professional bounty platforms like bountyhype and " there's always another bounty Manager"

There are many ICO who went out scam and they dont want their main account connected to it.
They are using some accounts, most of them have their own bounty groups which dont need them to appear in BTT.
They just need to use other accounts they manage.

In the current bear market, many ICOs have failed. Perhaps because of this situation, the managers may have had a lot of headaches and wanted to retreat to a little seclusion. In fact, in many of the subjects that they recently opened, the number of participants was so high that the awards per participant remained very low. Adding to the fact that the icos fail over these events, it is normal that they do not appear for a long time.

In addition to these managers, there are new others who also do their job well, no need to feel nostalgia, we need to move on!

I am a bit scared, not because I think that they have dissapeared, but because it may be a sign of many less campaigns going on. It is nowadays difficult to find a new one frankly.

But number of bounties created per day didn't fell too much right this means most of the projects were run by their own team and most probably they were scammers and not ready to spend any money on this purpose but want to bag huge amount of money when the ICO completed so we need to be careful while joining on the bounties from their own team.

I think this is understandable as the market is in a downtrend and it is difficult for managers to select good projects that make them uninterested. Personally my departure is a bad prediction for all ICOs as many investors are no longer interested in new ICO projects.

The ICO markets are changing and I imagine a lot of these Bounty Managers have left the business because they are no longer getting lucrative offers to manage bounties. A lot of the bounties have moved to automated platforms and we even see new players like exchanges directly marketing ICO's to their members.

Now is a difficult time for bounty.Many projects end in failure.Maybe someone decided to take a break from work.

This is not surprising, a lot of managers, projects really good are few. And if you look at their signature, we will see different projects, perhaps it is more profitable.

It's no great surprise, the number of good bounty campaigns has dried up and so there's not as much money for them to be made. When/If ICOs return to the highs of 2017 you can bet that the majority of them will be back to take advantage of that.

There not around might be the bear market reason , lol.
The market situation might affect the bounty also and some project which they could manage may have decide to hold till when bull is back and don't forget that we are in sunny season which will also be good for them to flex for some time since they have work so hard in the past months.

Nothing to be sad about, this is a natural outcome. Of course, they also have a life outside this forum so it makes sense that time would come that they wouldn't manage any bounty. IMO though, a bounty manager handling a bounty doesn't necessarily mean that it will succeed so it doesn't matter if they go away.

Many of them had real problems with this list. Their companies turned out to be fraudulent. Some simply do not have new projects. There aren't many of them now. Now the platform is gaining popularity. It's easier.

Scam projects have almost ruined the crypto space and this is a known fact. Rather than receive negative trusts for reasons that they had no control over, and ruin the reputation of their accounts they've built over the years, it's good that some of them take a break and watch the space from the sidelines.

Also, we been seeing a lot of bounties being managed directly by a member of the team. This has made me weary of further participation. Because that way, it's difficult to trust their genuineness

i view bounty manager as the same post for a regular company or business manager. every company have their own kind of manager they look forward to employing and just maybe that is the same principle applied here. Those who usually give them the work to do don’t have anyone available or because of the drop in market values they may not want to pick up any failed jobs. Whatever the case, I noticed recently that needmoney came up with few bounties that were later taken over by another company to manage which they had to transfer the spreadsheet details and all that. hope they will all be back soon because they have all made their marks and contributions immensely.

Most of the projects are now not credible. Managers just don't want to spoil their reputation. The same Sergei.Gerasimenko had disappeared after a failed bounty of the company. There was still a good manager of Avirunes but also disappeared after a fraudulent bounty company. However, there are those managers who cling to trash, and then wonder why them negative trust.

Did you mean bountyhive or bountyhype. Also is it the best platform out there now?

Bounty managers who care about their public perception will be weary of this crypto market now and won't just hop on just any project. This is because there are way too many scam ICOs now, some of them are well packaged that it's hard for these managers to see the scam ab initio.

Secondly, some of these bounty managers are creating automated bounty management platforms. This is evident with managers like Bountysuite. So it's very possible that the mentioned managers are taking off to create theirs too.

I think in this bear market we can't grantee about reaching softcap of any ICO. So bounty hunters payments can't be distribute. So because of that bounty hunters directly ague with bounty managers. So I think above well known bounty managers don't want to happen above situation. So i think those bounty managers will start their world after market stable.  

it's true that I myself also wait for them to hold a new project, I hope they will soon appear and hold a new project

It is true that some well-known bounty managers are not active again. I'm sure that there are some reasons behind it. One of the is that they got some problems, or maybe they now focus on other works. Now, we also can find out new BM with good prospects. I think that we don't need to fear about this. Just be smart and careful in choosing the bounty. Hopefully, they will also come back again because they are good BM.

Are you saying that there will be hibernation? It seems to me that the cryptocurrency market has not woken up since the beginning of this year))
This is a sad fact, apparently managers do not see worthy projects with which they would like to work and promote them. I am sure when the market recovers, everything will fall into place.

I think those bounty managers are still here managing some bounties but not using their high ranking account to make it safe not to receive negative trust if they will encounter a scam project. With this bearish situation we are all no guarantee that we can get our profits in making bounties as even bounty managers feel the pain of a downfall market.

      After earning huge money from bounty as bounty manager maybe they will take a vacation together with their family , so we must to understand to them as we felt some stress as being a bounty hunter , how much more to them as managers .

yeah. it is so normal because they were mostly anonymous people. and this ecosystem is actually mostly anonymous. that is why we should all be careful not to scam and be careful and check if the people are fake or real.

I really like the performance of the previous bounty manager because it's fast in the process of everything, but lately a lot of previous bounty managers were not trusted because his performance began to be slow not like before and in terms of his confidence for bounty management now less good because he often lies , remember I don't accuse the manager of all the old bounties but there are some Bounty managers who often do detrimental actions for bounty hunters.

I was the victim of a manager bounty who was not paid by the project, even though the project that I participated in was a big success until hardcap, with convoluted reasons between the two parties namely the project and the Bounty manager

How about most of the account also control by same person?  :D Just kidding, most of them really active in last year, but I think they already left the forum or rest a while because hard to manage a good bounty campaign in bear market? A lot of copper newbie or Jr member manage bounty campaign right now, look like quality of bounty campaign already drop a lot in 2018

I think it is more than normal that some bounty managers might not want to continue the job. I can well imagine that such a job is very stressful, especially if a project as scam ago out poses. But apparently there are still enough known managers in the forum who continue their job.

These guys have been working for a very long time, maybe they took a vacation or something like that. Surely everyone has a personal life that also needs to be developed alongside work.

Needmoney is a part of tokensuite and all of their bounties are listed on web site. As for others - some of them have existing bounties, but point is that less bounties appeared for last 2 month

I agree, some bounty managers are reluctant to deal with projects that are not transparent or fraudulent, some of which also have their own platforms such as bountyhive and tokensuite.
It is likely that if there is a better project and a good market situation they will be active again as before, but nobody knows

The disappearance of Sergei.Gerasimenko is the most frustrating, he is one of the most responsible bounty managers, and communication with bounty hunters is always timely.
And he is willing to help the bounty hunters to fight for the benefits, which is very rare, I hope that one day I will see his bounty thread again.
needmoney and Sylon are the two managers who have the most bounty threads, and they posted new bounty threads almost every week in the past. The era of these two bounty managers seems to have passed.

I have the feelings that some of these bounty Managers are still much available in this forum and maybe here with us at the moment not as Bounty Managers but as fun seekers. Also, the cryptocurrency market might have contributed immensely for their non-activeness in the forum but waiting for the market to recover before resurface and continue with their Managerial status.  

With the current market trend and also many ICO scams, many bounty managers are not smiling also. It goes beyond bounty hunters, I just hope that very soon we will see green light at then of the tunnel.

For me there is no difference who will be the Manager of this or that bounty company, as the quality of projects, ICO and bounty companies does not increase or decrease.

It's not that unusual that bounty managers eventually give up, especially since many campaigns seemed to have stopped after the forum added anti-spam measures like merit.
I think the market was over-saturated to begin with. Too many crappy spammy projects, which eventually even failed to pay out their bounties in some cases.

I think that the forum will attract other projects though, but let's hope that more serious campaigns start appearing.

They have not disappeared, they just become inactive, maybe they are tired,to know that it is very tiring to manage a bounty，they should take a break for a while. There is no problem.
Soon, some of them will return.

i  think nowadays ICO bountiies are manly scams and trash so some of this bounty campaign managers are not spending their time and reputation with trash ico´s.

Its because ICO's are not getting money, Even good projects are barely reaching their soft cap. Bounties are only good if the team gets investments in the ICO and then only they will pay the participants in tokens. Dont forget that most of these managers will get their payment in % of the bounties distributed. I hope everyone knows why we cant get quality managers.

i was scared beacuse of the topic and thought that it's something movie-like situation but now i see that these people are just dont want to be active in this market state.

I think this is true, they are using some other accounts maybe to prevent negative trust or accuse by someone here as a scammer, but not sure of this just a thought only. But even the bounty managers who are popular and are gone totally now it doesn't mean the ico will fall down too, of course not, instead ico daily still rising actually.

Yes, interesting information. Maybe due to the fact that cryptocurrency is going through a difficult time, ICO projects are not honored and can hardly make ends meet, these managers, given the summer-autumn period, just went on vacation. True all at once, it is suspicious.

The good ones have moved on to build their own platform such as bountyhive, or even more exciting built ICOs (they used their real names in ICO so we don't who they really are) the average tooks a breather and went on holidays.

sylon also still has debts of two paid project towards me and until now there has been no news. I heard that he was often on the freeze in this forum because of the wide variety of reasons.

Maybe we see this time for many emerging managers and even that of ICO's own party. It may, on the other hand, they want to save cost. because of the bounty used to pay on a manager then it is better than they treat themselves.

In my opinion, this does not save much cost.
A project manages bounty thread by itself, so it needs to arrange some employees to do this, and these employees are doing other work. In other words, he still has to pay the salary of these employees, and may delay other work for this.
And almost all of their own employees are lack of experience in managing bounty campaign, so it is very lame for the management of the bounty, and the efficiency is certainly not as high as those of the professional bounty managers.
Therefore, I don’t think it would be a better choice to manage the bounty by own.

Need money is now scamming people through his own website with the rest of the token suite team.

Deadlay, otcalytu, needmoney - these are members of one team, Tokensuite. Perhaps it’s good that they stopped their activities because their projects most often turned out to be fraudulent

Maybe because they prefer to have a more relaxing vacation sipping the sweetest wine of thier success as bounty managers than spending a lot of time in an unstable situation on crypto market. We are not sure where they really are right now so we just wait for them to come back. Yahoo62278 is still here and for me he is the best based on my experiences working with different bounty managers out there. I also like the services of MadZ and Strawbabies as managers.

I think because of the current market condition and some startup projects are also hesitant to do an ICO's. I have worked with Needmoney, Olcaytu, ATriz and Huahui manage bounty and I would say the bounty of needmoney and Olcaytu was the low paying and some of ATriz bounties turned out to be a scam. As for Huahui, he's a great manager and the last bounty i worked under him was the PolicyPal and the project is legit. I noticed some new and reliable bounty managers are now managing bounty programs.

Some BMs has gone and some others has arrived.
Some ICOs organizing bounties themselves with internal resources.
Also there are some bounty platforms with multi managers.

We must understand that it is not about the bounty managers, it is about how succesfull the  projects are. Definite if a projects failed bounty managers will also lose.  The market is at its lowest value maybe some bounty managers are getting into a lay low position as well.

Most likely, these managers have so far ceased their activities in the ICO generosity campaigns, because these projects are going through a very bad time and rarely one of them even reaches Softcap, so they don’t want to participate in deliberately losing projects, so that later they would be accused of not paying tokens. If the market starts to recover, I think that these managers will appear again. We assume that they went on vacation.

Often we are mistaken
It is better not to agree terms with fake project
So I think little and meaningful project is what every bounty hunter needs to keep working upon
We need to remember always there is no joy in participating in fake products

Be smart
Be legible
Continue to be hardworking
Do the right things always

We must remember that for them it is also earnings, and they choose projects that can bring them income. In addition, they have a reputation earned a long time, I do not think that they will disappear completely .After all its time no one wants wasted.Although perhaps everything comes to an end. We all need to get through this period.

maybe ICO developers still think that now is a bad condition to hold a bounty. And I think the bounty manager hasn't found a good job. But what I see is that there are so many new gift managers now, we just need to find the best among them

The market has become a big hit today, so the ICO Campaigns are also weak. Due to this sudden drop in the price of bitcoin and ethereum in the first month of 2018 here we see the gradual increase in market demand and the demand for the ICO Campaigns also caused of scams and fail ICO

I took part in some of their bounties and I have never get any reward. I mean it, I have spent a lot of time by doing these bounties and never got something. Very sad guys, please stay away from these managers, because you will lose a lot of time.

At the moment, it is very difficult to find a good bounty campaign, because many projects refrain from conducting an ICO, so it is not surprising that many well-known managers are not active now and do not work with projects. I really hope that the situation with bounty campaigns will improve when the market recovers.

The market is currently bad, ICOs are no longer a quick fix for projects that need money maybe that's why they're staying out of the market. To find a bounty campaign that will pay you at the end of the day is hard but I'm lucky to find savedroid campaign.

The last stupid decision by SEC is like punishing ICOs simply for working. People should understand that there is a World outside the US.

I think the main reason is the increasing number of scam ICOs. But I hope everything will become normal as market will go up. And Hope they will comeback after having a nice vacation.

There is no bounty manager wanna stop managing bounty campaign but you should know that good bounty managers often wanna manage good bounty campaigns of good projects only while it's really difficult to find out a good projects at the moment that why there are no new campaign from these managers. Beside, needmoney is not a good bounty manager anymore, I think you should take a look at his trust feedback

I think there are cases where bounty managers sell their accounts to do something else and give the opportunity to someone else to keep the job, this may be the case with some of them until they organize their bounties, also take into account that we are approaching December and some of them may also be on vacation.

rest now will not hurt anyone. 2 wave and it will very soon. But we need to understand how quickly it will end!? I believe that soon the market rise and ICO will be. The managers will return with renewed vigor.

This may be unusual for some of the top bounty managers but the reason may be because of the current state if market this year. Also mist bounty nowadays are either delaying payments or not even paying at all. So it affects the manager too.

emerging Manager and some of them also worked pretty well. but many of the ICO in this period such as saving their spending to cope with the bounty with their own team off on having to pay bounty manager. This might also be an indication many managers begin to not handle the bounty and even I saw bounty there that manager joined the signature campaign may also be because they needed the income.

Yeah, some of them are not having new campaigns now but hopefully soon we can have a lot of good opportunity again just like before here in forum. Especially yahoo62278, I used to be in his campaign before and he is really good of being a manager so hopefully they will come back again soon and be managers again with multiple campaigns.

The bear market makes the careers in crypto lay low. Bounty hunters themselves are also quitting due to the the Scams and there are just not much ICOs going on that are collecting much funds. Until they ICO stops, there will be no more careers left in the forum lol.

If they are quitting for good, don't you think its time for new comers to become a bounty manager? New opportunities for the aspiring ones.

They should have strong reasons to not provide new bounties. In my view, here are the possible reasons:

1. The current bounties program resulted worthless earning or pennies.  
2. I see some of them got red trust. It can be a reason to stop managing a new bounty temporally.
3. They consider to work on another job while the bear market.
4. They realize new projects only produce less valuable coins or tokens. The prices always decrease once listed on exchanges. And no one knows when the prices will rise with proper rates.  

That is my guess to answer why they disappear, however it may be wrong. I just try to deliver the possibilities.  ;) :D  

I never know that Sergei.Gerasimenko was disappeared now here in the forum, but as far as I can see He still active. And Even Sylon so far are still managing the bounty ico project, I just don't know what project is that I saw just recently in the bounty thread. Base on what I heard about to some of the popular BM before, some of them got involve in scam accusation, then others they robbed the holding project finances, like what happen to lauda, correct me if I am wrong, and lastly some are cheaters something like that.

Lots of managers shift to their own platforms or give up working with the forum. Others can't find other good companies to join. In total, the market in crisis, which force people to look for new ways of making money.

as I know "needmoney" works with his own platform for bounties. some others may be also doing so. some may go to vacations till the market will go alive.

as well as some cryptocurrencies, bounty managers in the bear market also disappeared. this is normal

half of those whom you have listed are still actively engaged in bounty campaigns, so I think that everything is fine

Some of those on your list were sanctioned by DTs in this forum for managing scam bounties.

It is a good move by the DTs to minimize scam and bounty managers will be very careful on choosing which bounty to manage in the future.

Maybe they are just taking some short break while the bear market is paving is way down. Expect that those bounty manager will going to return again to manage more promising bounties in the future when the market now is stable and much more robust.

There are many reason for their case of disappearance. Maybe the bounty managers are just taking time to have a vacation. Or any emergency things to consider happen. Just do not worry, they will return soon that's for sure.

Well, if we see many famous and missing managers in this forum in a few months, I think they have their own reasons and we should not respond negatively. They could have been on vacation for a while because they were tired of handling the project, they would return to handling the project again, we were waiting for their presence here again.

Nowhere are these managers disappeared. Some of them have topics on the forum now. Some have created their own bounty platforms and work through them. The situation with managers reflects the situation on the market as a whole - there are no worthy projects, there is no investor interest.

Currently, there are many icos, and bounty hunters need to identify which scams they have. This will increase their work at the same time. The market has become a bear market and limited funding is very difficult. Many ico have failed. The project did not succeed. No rewards. Bounty hunters are hard to work with. When the market recovers, I think they will come back.

I noticed some of them now live.
If their business gets worse, they will of course lose interest, which is nothing strange. Maybe some bounty managers have already switched to other jobs, and now the bounty manager is not so profitable.
In fact, Bounty hunters are dead more.

Now aisio projects do not raise enough money, because the cryptocurrency market is going through hard times. I think that managers switched to other earnings in this market, for example, investing or launching their projects.

I already have a past bounties which I've done with these bounty managers. There are still some pending payment of rewards that I haven't still received from them but it's okay, I already recover from my self discouragement from them. I also miss the chance on working from other good bounty managers because I prioritize to join on the popular bounty managers but end up nothing.

I also noticed that but btcltcdigger still manages a lot of bounty campaign, these ICO now had their own manager to manage their ICO for them although there are some risk involves, but it's still the project, that will make a difference if bounty project is going to succeed

I remember these managers and I have also took part in their bounties. But as already mentioned on this topic, I was also among the participants that took part in their campaigns, but did not get any reward for my job.

Maybe they are quite selective to manage a new ICO project since majority of the upcoming ICOs where exploited by fraudulent businesses and scams so that's why you won't see them active on new project but they are still active on some bounty support community they are handling with like telegram bounty support, they are not disappeared they are just hibernated.

Due to the fall of the crypto market, hard times have come for ICO projects. Many of them are not able to collect the necessary amount for soft-cap. Accordingly, the bounty campaigns end in complete failure. No serious bounty campaigns have been seen in the past six months. I think this circumstance is the main reason for the suspension of the activities of the forum main bounty-managers. Hope this is temporary.

Fortunately, this did not happen to me and all the bounty managers faithfully fulfilled their duties.  Although of course it's sad that this happens ... greed wins ... sometimes

You forgot the BlockEye manager. I have not seen his new projects for a long time, the last of his bounty on the forum, as I remember, was Intrachain.

Needmoney has automated his bounty with a website named tokensuit.
Sylon was banned for 3 months.
Atriz has done something fishy, later he came with the of Zapo which was also recognized and got red tagged.
Hua_hui received a bunches of negative trust and that may the reason.

Well, I don't know what happens with others.

The icos projects that do give them jobs are not fort coming and at such the need to hold for some time.  Many of the projects are also ending as scam projects and that has affected some projects managers that we are currently seeing with red tag.  I think some of others managers has bounties going on.

Lauda got red trust from DT members (issues related to escrow funds, BCH forked coins were not paid) so he can't take part in the bounty management now. I am not sure about yahoo62278. He was one of the best managers out there.

Competition between bounty managers shoudl be rough, so now these managers could just be not demanded because of this reason. Isn't it simple enough?

Many people in cryptocurrency business had already lost job and there are much more of them to come. Market is not growing and it is a problem.

To this list you can add a very cool bounty manager - deadly, he has not laid out new campaigns for almost six months, but he is still active on BTT. As well as Wapinter, Blockeye and many others.

Well it is so Sad to see some tough Bounty Managers who have successfully manage strong project in the space disappear so easy. I have participated in some other Bounty campaign manage by these managers here. As for Mirallas, I think he might still be busy distributing Bluzelle Token to those who participated in the Reddit campaigns some Months ago. Sylon just launched a new campaign some days ago. So not all have gone hidden probably they want the best for Bounty participants and they don't want to get involved in Project that later turned out to be Scam

Well it surprising me because they used to manage top bounty programs.i have not join any social media campaign so i have no news about those bounty managers. Only sylon that i knew, he banned for like 3 months i think. Arteezy is good BM too maybe i will join his new project.

This is as a result of the facts that the ICO projects are reducing each day. Investors are losing faith in crypto  because so many projects in the past have not meet up to their promises in the roadmaps and this is why several ico are failing to generate enough funds

Just HODL

I would like some of bounty managers to share their thoughts on this matter.
Why did they stop managing or when are going to manage campaigns?

I can see that Sylon is active now and he have a new bounty programm, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5069917. I've read at medium that he just was banned for month at bitcointalk.

This is what I often think about. Previously there were very many famous managers and I always participated in each of their campaigns. But we see that there are so many new bounty managers now. But actually it doesn't matter, as long as the project they manage is good, there must be many participants joining the campaign.

Not surprised at all. Look at the crypto market. And then look at ICOs statistics for the last year. Too many scams, too many bounty campaigns refused to pay using different ridiculous reasons. Everything is on a stage of the Great Depression. Bounty managers might have felt this too.

The new bounty topic does not open. because there is no new ico. always scam. therefore we do not see a significant ico and bounty campaign.

but there is that. The sylon was really bullshit. the bounty's in the last 1 year are always awful.

It's a sad trend, but I don't think it's worth getting too upset about. Some managers are gone, others will come to their place. Apparently their income began not to suit, so they have not yet developed in this direction. maybe after a while will return when the market will be more stable

I still see some of them, Sylon still with the Gamera project,
olcaytu2005 and needmoney moved on their personal website. so it rarely appears in this forum.

You are not worried about those for whom it is necessary! I’m sure that everything is great at bounty managers! The market is in a state of decline, ICO is not in fashion now! So the guys are just relaxing! Maybe they are thinking about how to work further, because no one guarantees that Bounty in its current form will continue to earn money!

Most of them should take a vacation. There were a lot of bounties during summer and now demand is much less. I hope them all having good time.

It is a natural circulation in a business, I don't find it alarming. Some people simply moved to more profitable business, and there will always be people willing to do bounty managers at actual rates.  ;)

I am also surprised that most reputable bounty managers are also having hard time promoting an ICO or finding those bounties. Most of those ICO nowadays are having hard time reaching their softcaps andemp their hard caps are super low so I believe that those experienced bounty managers know that they will also waste their time if the project will not reach the goal and they will also not be paid right? Handling a bounty campaign is a pain in the ass, specially if you only have limited employee to handle each campaigns with thousands of participants.

hi, I have participated in a bounty from sylon, but until now there have been no updates about the token distribution. did he really disappear. if it's true, then this will be a loss for me because bounty may not be paid if sylon disappears. These are some of the effects of the market that don't improve.

It is better to be safe than to be sorry. I do not see any reason why they should take part in bounties that will smear their reputation. There are too many scam ICOs that looks real and promising.

The disappearance of the bounty manager is related to the decline of the ICO, and a large number of ICO failures are a fatal blow to the bounty mission. The departure of the bounty manager has proved the decline of the cryptocurrency, or the decline of the ICO.

Who knows what's happening to them. Some of them might have seen a job that is better than bounty management. Another thing is that some may also have some personal issues that are dealing with which is not giving them time to focus on ICO bounties.

Many of the bounty manager mentioned are quality bounty managers that have hosted many successful campaign. However, in the course many campaign, some of them have scam accusations hanging on their neck while some are just chilling because of downtrend situation of cryptocurrency market!

Due to the fact that many projects do not pay bonuses to hunters and the evolutions of the market so many people give up the bounty. ICO projects are not salient with bounty campaigns.

Because of the bear market, many ICO decided to postpone the sale of tokens, and those that are already running conduct new rounds. Therefore, there is no sense in bounty campaigns at this time and managers are unemployed. But I continue to monitor their activity in the hope that cryptospring will come soon and we will be able to earn again.

Edwardard was a campaign manager, and he's pretty much gone although he keeps bumping his resume thread on occasion. 

The issue is that there just aren't as many campaigns as there used to be.  Last year you couldn't go a day without a new one popping up to apply to, and now it's weeks and sometimes even longer.  Also, Lutpin seems to have deteriorated as a manager and although he's not missing in action, I think he's on his way out.

It's understandable because of the nature of the market environment now. it's not really suitable to run ICO as public interest had reduced significantly.

Needmoney and other people from tokensuite (now tokendrop) team got negative trust for promoting SCAM ICO bounty, i'm also the victim.
Sylon got banned for post in bitcointalk forum for 1 month (i got this information from his telegram). but i think he's back online now.
as we can see, we should be careful when choosing some bounty, even the managers are well-known by member of this forum, it does not mean that the project/ICO is good.

In my own opinion, most projects takes a little longer to finish sales at ICO, and this automatically increases the bounty duration. Managing a bounty is not an easy task, and having a long duration bounty makes it worse for the managers, hence the need to reduce the numbers of bounties to manage.

   Maybe those bounty manager are now busy with other job except of being a bounty manager. Also we need to be careful to choose the project because some of the bounty manager also promoting scam ICO's.

just checked and some of those "well-known" managers are still active but not pretty much as before, since there are more new manager coming and there's lot of bounty platforms that project can used to manage their bounty instead hiring a manager on bitcointalk forum.

are they really leaving? I think they only took a short break when the market was falling and not significant activity on the ico they held. and if it's true they leave, there should be a notice from the bounty that the manager will be replaced, but so far for the bounty that I have followed not done it, and sylon I think is a good manager and there is no way he can come out.

I do not think this should scare us or make us panic in anyway. There are still lots of bounty campaigns with super active bounty managers. It's just that the present market does not really pay the bounty hunters, as I harly pget paid for my work.

Are this managers good? Maybe they see the fakes and do not want to work with fakes? I hope that I am right about these people and other bounty managers.

It is not surprising, because I think the new what is going to happen. They had so much work a year ago and they have just quitted the industry. I will not wonder, if they would suddenly appear when the next bull run comes.

Olcaytu2005 and needmoney is a part of tokensuite i always participate in their project last year and and this year but i leave for them because lot of their ico's always scam and tooking away the money of investors after ico so they get redtrust for same their account.
