Is there someone here who really get some big profit with their bounties? I am sick and tired of failed Bounties that I joined, most of them didn't reward my works due to ICO failure.

Look back a year ago and you'll see on how many projects got successfully with their ICOs.

And of course bounty hunters made a lot of money out of those success. Right now its very far those days where ICO has been new to the market but now its bold and exposed that many are just scamming people. So it wasn't so effective now as before, look for some other ways to earn like developing your trading skill.

Try to participate in projects, that have already a working product, or that have already met their soft cap. There are some bounties live on the market, so best of luck in finding them :) And always be careful with not legit projects.

A lot of projects are becoming scams and making reasons just to do exit scam.

Try to avoid this kind of suspicious project and you're wasting your time and effort. Analyzing the project before investing or doing bounties could help you take time to know if its legit or not.

Of course here many people have succeeded in participating in the bounty. Never give up on what you have done. I am also struggling and striving to achieve my dreams, which are succeeding in doing bounty campaign tasks. Failure is the beginning of success, I'm sure there are still many ICOs that will succeed. Stay optimistic friends ..

usually, those project who reaches their softcap is already a successful ICO, but at the same time you are already far from earning here because of so many participates in this kind of bounty and ofcourse as the OP's rank he is only a newbie which is really hard for him to catch up to earn in this kind of way.

all the ICOs are failures even the ones that took place last year. the only difference is that last year there as a fever going on which you can call "ICO mania" which meant a lot more people were investing in them and losing money but that fever like any other fever is cured now and people aren't trusting ICOs anymore. which is why they are failing much faster.

Don't be sad bro, it's already a risk for a bounty hunter. If you work on a failed project in my opinion you have been lucky, because now many projects are cheating or acting on behalf of the ICO but the project does not exist. I suggest that you should be smarter in choosing a good project and should be able to benefit even if this situation.

Things has changed since last year, when practically every big project doing ICO was running bounty campaign on bitcointalk, throwing big amounts of tokens and coins. Right now it's hard to find something promising, which can be profitable, and if you luckily find it, there are thousands of participants. I don't know what to advise you TBH, I barely join any bounty nowadays.

unfortunately, that's the way it is. That's why you should always only choose to do bounties for projects that seem legit and trustworthy

Unfortunately you have joined in the wrong ICOs. Definitely there are so many good project that pay well. But before joining, you have to be more calculative to find out the most prospective one. In recent time, I think, blockchain based ICOs are performing well. You should research on those kind of projects and the team working behind it. By analyzing properly, you can overcome the situation.
But one thing, don't loose hope. Here none can be rich over the night.

Welcome to reality , bro . What did you expect from the industry where most of the projects are scammers? Now it is very difficult to choose such a bounty campaign , which will have a valueable coins and at the same time for your work you could get them at least some significant amount, not a couple of coins. A year ago, the situation was completely different and a lot of people earned good money on bounty, but that time is long past ...  :(

A year ago, we did receive a good profit from participating in bounty campaigns, there were really successful ICO projects. Now there are not so many of them, they pay less, there are more and more scammers on the market. But you should not lose hope, you need to be optimistic and continue to work, I think there are many successful projects ahead.

You should learn how to evaluate the ICO projects better. There is still a lot of good ICOs and I have never participated in failure projects. Of course there was much more award last year but not it is not bad too. You could easily get 200-300$ a month.

I have a long list of those failed ICO and have soon forgotten all of these because it's very depressing if you continue to think your lost time and effort I'm just lucky I can move on fast because of some of the profitable I've got from my bounty campaign, but we really need to do a lot of research to find a good one and continue monitoring them.

It is not only you who felt tired of doing bounties, many can relate to your feeling but we have to improvised if we want to succeed here in crypto. Bounties are not the only thing here, you can do trading if you want to earn but of course the risk is high but ultimately in the end when you gained knowledge you can profit more than bounties will give you.

I understand how you feel. I have taken part in bounties that have failed but giving up and feeling depressed will not solve anything. Investigate any bounty you want to partake and follow those that have reached their soft cap .

I can feel you and i know such situation is very disappointing and discouraging and due to bears there were many such projects in last 7 to 8 months, i think there should be a way out where bounty hunters could be compensated in case of project failure.

It's probably a sad news for me. Because I've just come to crypto world and gotten involved in bounty campaigns. It's late and even wrong time due to bear market.  :(

You should research the project before working for them without taking any money.
I think bounties as a business so I research on company and ICOs. If I am not sure that they are legit or not, I am not going to work with them.
Lot's of scams here.

how can they provide rewards if they themselves have failed. what can they give tokens? nothing can be expected from their tokens. there is no market, and there are no buyers.

mate , as a bounty hunter you must not accept scam or weak projects you should do some research before participating in any new bounty to save your time and energy

If you participate in about 30-40 bounty companies, then about 2-4 bounty will have good payouts when collecting hardcap.

Unfortunately, most people are like you, including me. Most of the ICO projects fail, or even if they call for enough capital, they lose value when exchanging tokens.

That's just how it is, I got some profit but it's not huge. Let's just say don't give up and you'll eventually get some profit that you deserve depending on how you work. This is crytocurrency so sometimes, things are meant to fail so just try and try. Never give up. Find a known bounty manager because they have a high chance of making a project successful.

As we can see, you are not rewarded because of your current rank which is a newbie, in order to avoid this, you should earn merit and become atleast a jr member. I am not sure whether you have multiple accounts but I think the reason why you are not succeeding to gain tokens is because of your rank.

I don't know, I am still waiting for last payout and then I will tell you. I see lots people are discussing this so probably many projects can't reach softcaps or they don't collect too much funds so bounty rewards are lower. It is not bounty that failed, it is ICO.

I know this year is bad of ico projects and most ico did not even complete their soft cap.. Also so many ico are totally scam which is also a bad effect on good ico projects. May this year should be remember as a black year of ico history. But this things makes us more aware. Before participating in any bounty program need to be research if it's legit or not. Their are so many thread already discussed about it how to know if ico is legit or scam. Do some research before applying. It's your responsibility that you need to do proper research and if you find that someone is scamming then you should be report that thred to the moderator. This way we can make a strong community against scams project.

same here, for the past 8 months I have not gotten anything from bounties or airdrops, maybe a quality project like before was gone

I made some money, if ICO was successful - everything's ok. Also promotion bounties are good, when token already on exchanges. But yes - today most of ICOs failed.

Of course most of the bounties that you joined also failed because you don't have research project before participants their bounty campaign, you won't earn money if you continues doing like that, anyway, don't be sad because current crypto market situation and most of the bounty hunter also can't earn good profit in 2018, so I just wait for 2019  :)

You are a newbie and you are sick and tired? How many ICOs and bounties have failed you?  Or are you just lamenting?  I can't understand.

That's by the way. It is painful to spend time and resources on a project and it turns out fake. The most painful is the one that claims to be successful, reward you with tokens that turn out to be shit. Others will list on scam exchanges. It is really sickening.

Everyone should expect this to happen. So, to avoid further frustrations, stop joining a lot of bounty campaigns. Instead, focus and learned to filter good ICOs and only join at most 5 if it's fine to you. Less work, less expectations, less frustrations. Now if you have spare money, try trading also.

If I am going to look back at 2017 October, it was a good season for me in joining the ico campaign. It is because by that time it was my first time to earned 2.3BTC when the token got pumped which I had received payment in the bounty. Also during that time many ico are good to join in unlike this year 2018 were most of the ico are scam and not legit.

I also experience that, I already joined ICO campaigns that are said that it is okay but at the end of our work we didn't receive any tokens even a centavo of bitcoin, even we all work for it. Well, I guess we should just accept that fact because that is really part of ICO's, there are failure ICO and there are not.

I think that there really are scam ICO's out there that every investors and bounty hunters should be careful enough in making their choices. I believe that if you want to become successful with your bounty participation, you must have to do a proper research and make sure you check the team members that handles the project. Consider also checking the whitepaper and understand what the project platform is all about. Lastly, you need to know the bounty manager that handles the bounty campaign where it should be handled by high ranking members with good reputation.

It is normal, bro, there is no rule that every ico will be successful. To be honest, i have made money from most bounty campaigns and it's worth the time.

This is partly due to your work
Do you get first hand information before participating in bounties ?

Or you just say “ oh wow, this is a bounty with lots of participants, definitely gonna be a success ?”
What category do you fall into ?

Always do your own research
That’s the only solution

Try to join those projects in discord. Choose those with big communities.  They usually have higher chance of success.

This really baffles me a lot, almost all project fail this day. After working for months on a project the bounty manager started given different kind of story

Last year is the luckiest part of my life as a bounty hunter because I earned so much money at that time but this time seems bounty campaigns projects are also falling like cryptos.

Hey, buddy, the bounty is not paid because Dama ico's failure is a common and common right. What makes us sick is when the project project is successful and the dev is run away / scam or they don't want to pay bounty even though their project is successful.

Yes I was able to got my reward tokens although not so big since my rank is only jr member but definitelyn those high ranking members was received plenty of tokens because we are in the same ICO .

Most of the projects are not successful because of lack investors. Also, the fund they raised. Because of the fluctuations in ETH and BTC price, some also fail to run projects. It really hurts.

So you have to wait until the market becomes more active again. You may have to wait a long time, but nevertheless, such crises make competition much less. Now, many people have stopped bounty due to low payouts, and those who continue to do so can eventually receive a good income.

I have get some good profits fom some bounties, but some bounties look s tiring, The only thing we need to look out for is some reputable projects and we will like bounty hunting.

if you have done make analysis before join bounty but still fails, my advice should be to join a bounty that pays using Bitcoin like a signature campaign but this campaign has quite high requirements and only members who have quality posts can join

Are you really surprised? It's really hard now to find good bounty wich can earn even softcap but it stll possible, you just need do more research about ICO wich you promote. I'm almost sure that you just promote everythink that you can without learn about projects.

I too experienced failed ICO and there's nothing to do but accept that our hard work will not be rewarded. That's just the risk we need to accept as bounty hunters. Then there's also ICO's pause their public token sale and we need to wait for many months which another risk as bounty hunter. Unfortunately even we do research as much as we can for ICO project we join there's still the risk of that project being unsuccessful so best to do is to join several project at the same time and/or wait for the progress of project you like and join later when they able to reached softcap but then it will also mean you may get less reward unlike those early supporter. 

You did not mention how many bounties have you been and what are the names of those bounties, this is something that makes the bounty hunters worry, doing bounty to a failed project but honestly we cannot have control over it.

Not only a year ago it was possible to make decent money with the help of bounty, now it is also quite possible, you just need to choose the companies more carefully!

this is purely a chance job.
 i am always telling this. if you have a chance you will win. patience is the most important business

I think the bounty hunters are now mature and rational. Not as blind as it was. Learn to pick projects on your own. There are fraudulent practices in any industry. This requires us to have a good ability to identify projects. Never say die. There are so many projects. There is always one you will choose the right one.

Be sure that all the bounty you've was a good bounty and also ICO, Because if you're always join and join and you didn't know the whole project and you don't have any knowledge on the project you didn't understand the situation. Either you also don't know that all the project are fake or scam.

For big profits, I have never got it. You have, to be observant here in the Bounty search. Look for Bounty with a good manager, and it's simple, i don't think it's difficult

      If you are not paid because the ICO was failed like didn't got the softcap or not crowdfunding then it is fair but if you're  not paid even if the the hard cap was made ,  so that 's not normal and need to be investigated

Well, that is the main reason why it is absolutely necessary to analyze (at least on the surface level) the projects behind the opened bounties and not just blindly joining everything you stumble upon. Most of the aforementioned projects wont reach their soft cap, so consequentially no payments will be made.

Failed ICO = Failed bounties.
There are some reasons why bounty is failed or participants got no payment on their work.
1. ICO is a scam!
2. Soft cap not reached.
3. ICO is not finished and stop by the team.

This is the sad part of the BOUNTY, but we should not stop and keep moving,.

days of big earn from bounties gone (so was said already in June), now only max upgraded acounts will give you some shares. Especially in signature campaign, also good choice to join to projects with fix rewards (if it's high enough for you) despite on the amount of participants in them.

Sorry but 99% of ico or bounty are scam...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3028302.0... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

I still take my chances in bounty campaigns considering that most ICOs failed or extended. I had some bounty campaigns that didn't pay. My efforts and time are put to waste. But, I need to accept the fact that 2018 is drought period for cryptocurrency and ICOs were affected too cause ETH the king of ICOs had declined 75% already. Hoping that next year would a better year.

The thing that I see with most people is that they never get to try as much as possible to do some research on the project they are joining. They just assume that, well, it is bounty and they have nothing to lose, but indeed they have forgotten they have time to lose as well as the resources they are using.

Due diligence is not only limited to investors but something even bounty participants should always consider. Participating in just few successful ICOs with long term potentials is far better than participating in 100 of ICOs that are scam or have no potential at all. Being smart is all it takes to figure that out and if you are not, you will just see yourself wasting your time and resources over nothing.

you should stay motivated, and I am sure that not only you are experiencing losses, but that is the reality that happens now. You should be more observant to take part in several bounties the other day

Sometimes bounty work is so stressful and it will make someone think of quitting it if the person keeps participating in the bounties of failed ICOs. Don't feel depressed, I will just advise you to watch the progress of an ICO before you start promoting such ICO. It really helps a lot.

I'm getting about$ 100 for one signature company now. This is bad because a year ago I received several times more. Unfortunately, the bounty hunter time is coming to an end(

That means getting money is difficult, not as easy as you think, join with bounty program then making a post and getting the money you had expected. Someone needs effort to get money, with the bounty campaign you must be able to determine the potential project and otherwise. In addition, if the project experiences a decline when it has been listed in several exchanges even though it has good potential, never take a ridiculous decision by selling the tokens you get. So, just praying is not enough to get a miracle, change the way when you take part bounty campaign and pay attention to everything that matters, then you will get the money you expect.

Maybe a year ago bounty was really profitable. Since there are more and more bounty hunters, some bounties give lesser reward or rewards are scattered all through the bounty hunters. Some ICOs fail too. Bounty hunting is not as profitable as it was before.

gone were the days where almost every ico were legit and successful and most bounty hunters gain a massive profit out of it. But when 2018 enters, everything seems to have been fading away. Lest hope we can bring back those old times and enjoy every bounties that are coming along our way.

Yeh, nowadays there are so many scam or failed ICOs so it's more difficult to find the better ones. But it doesn't matter that all ICOs are so bad. Many of them have guality team and product, otheres have mvp.

Failed ICOs are dangerous for investors, because some projects are returning invested funds and some of them don't. Failed bounty is just a loose of time and failed ICO is big risk of loosing money

This year was a failure for both bounties and ICOs. Well, considering decline, most of people forget both activities and think that ICO is dead as well as bounty.
I don't think so, market will change next year.

when icos usually fail then bounties are first to get affected usually bear market is testing time for icos  funding will be less and market move slowly and delay in fund raising my companies

If now the market situation is stabilized, I think that the pricing policy in this case can worsen the market situation very much towards the flight of investors, because now the market is already very weak.

I for one got some payments for my bounty but that as high as others. In my experience being a bounty hunter, it really needs patience before you could get payed or getting a payment with value. Most ICOs now are failing because most of them are scam or not that successful which is really stressful but then if you got payed it is really worth the effort.

Everything will depend on the overall market condition. Of course, ICO and remuneration for bounty are closely related. Developers are simply nowhere to get money to pay for your work, this is obvious. But I think that we should keep the pennies we receive. It is possible that in the future tokens of some projects will give a good profit. We have to be patient 

Whenever a ICO Failed, (Bounty failed) to reached their target or became a scam, then this situation came. Well, at that time, who should be blame, we don't know and just feel irritated. But this is not the end, we should move ahead, learn the abilities to find good ICO which never gone fail. Many people get profits in last years, so your time also came (Who are new or waiting for profit).

You are not alone, most bounties hunters are going through this ordeal, what you should understand is that ico trade way below initial coin offering price due to present market condition, just be patient a little bit more.

I agree. Over 50% of the bounties I joined ended up being a scam or a failure. Even though I have checked and spend some time researching about the ICO, there is no guaranteed way of determining the outcome of an ICO. However, regardless of what happen, I will not give up and someday I'll be rewarded for a coin that will have a high value in the future. Keep on grinding and you will get something.

well, i have often this kind of thought, but for me is not a big worry becouse i only do signature's campaign and i enjoy post in this forum, so i will keep posting even without a reward

Yes, I have some big payouts doing bounties the biggest was Telcoin my tokens was worth 3k usd last January and until now I haven't sell it. You are not the only one who encountered failed and zero payout bounties and also scam projects. I have experienced it and so disappointed.

there are a lot of things taht are going on right now and i think that we will see a lot of faked icos and projects on the market

last year was great and this year has shown us a lot of failures and money absorbing projects so i hope next one will be better

in my opinion if ICO fails, the bounty hunter will not be paid, therefore it is better for you to join the bounty where the ICO has softcap.

I hate to say this but I think I missed the golden days of ICO. What is left when I joined bounties are failed ICO's that didn't sell enough coin. Also there is a high possibility of scam ICO's this year and I think it will never be fixed until they find a way to detect scam ICO's. There should be a strict way of filtering scam ICO. They should be stopped and maybe the market will go up again.

tjere are a lot of scam icos and scam bounties and i think taht we can not do anything about that as it is nice to solve thos problem

bounty campaigns are not the spheres that i would rely on but of course there are good bpuntoes and you can earn alot with its help

Not despair. I have a little bit of experience, but it won't work out fast. Here you need to make a lot of effort to choose good projects. To pump your account.  It's not as easy as it sounds. It's work.

The reasons for those scam projects were due to fraud promotions which every people who handled the management of funds in a wrong way. After being launch in the market it hasn't gain a good price after being listed on the exchanges. Every efforts give out to the projects were worthless and I think this brought a bad effect for all ICO if this will continue to scam people all the time.

What people should do, is check carefully, how the ICO is performing with collecting money, and choose the bounties, which's ICO has reached, or is close to the Soft Cap, and so than at least you will have a good chance to get the tokens, you worked for.

Its sad to say that this years ico were illegitimate and full of scams. Its the effect of the last years successful ico and so scammers jumped on to the hype and took advantage of it and victimize a lot of investors and bounty hunters.

This ICOs ,bounties are well prepared to pomote this project but after the running of the said project it did not reach the targetted soft cap and hard cap , so even if it is extended but still it did not reach the soft cap ,so thw bounties and ICO are said to be a failed project that is being launched.

Really got disappointed with the first bounty I participated in this year, it was a huge failure after wasting over two months campaigning, but was consoled by the one I joined afterwards, even though the reward is not so huge, I am quite pleased with a certain reward than nothing at all. We have to be more careful

I had good profit from bounty in december of 2017 year. I agree with you, bounty campaigns gives good profit in 2017 year and earlier.

There is a solution to your problem. No token sale fail and no need to wait 6+ months to get a bounty reward.

ICOs usually fail now because the softcap isn't reached in time and so the funding doesn't work out. Also, a lot of ICOs and bounties failed last year also, it just took some time for the failure to occur. The hype was just so much greater.

ICO fail because of it's can't get to fund what they want. You can do one thing. Don't work for just one ICO. Go for multiple ICO. For some ICO work from the start and for some work after they collect some good funds. At-least you will get some in this case. 

sometimes I have the similar thoughts but I make myself continue to work in hopes of rising market in future. you should do the same and hope for the better times.

If I feel lucky with the bounty, even though there are currently many bounties scam. The spirit of friends is still a lot of good bounties, do a lot of bounties more than 10 so that you can feel the profit. And try to explore the media like blogs and youtube, because the prize is great.

the outcome nowadays are failed ico projects and tokens are not being listed on exchangers. What caused these problems is the downtrend this year. It highly influences the market which makes bounties and ico investment not anymore as profitable as before. But if we wouls be patient, this won't be a problem because dumps are not permanent so it would be practical to think that recovery would happen eventually.

Participating in bounties that their ICO already reach the softcap is the best choice nowadays, but sometime there is something unexpected. Because the fund collected is a little above the softcap line, they extended their ICO a few weeks, and what I meet is that they extended it for 60 days. That's really a long time.

At bear market conditions, It is not surprising that ICOs are unsuccessful. I think time of icos ended till strick regulations are accepted by the authorities.

I want to advise you, at least this is what I do when choosing gifts. First, you must examine the project about product objectives, road maps, teams, and advisors. Usually can be seen in the white book. Second, you can see the project community. If the community will usually affect the sale of tokens.

The good thing is that from so much failure you always learn something new, it is important that you recognize why the ICO fails and try to avoid those behaviors in future ICOs, for example, remember how the team interacted with the community, every time they gave information about the project and how ambitious the collection was, that data is very important to know the value of an ICO.

General these days bear market has made bounty tokens not to worth anything and i doubt if anyone can claim making much money from bounty now, it's just market condition, just have some patience market will soon bounce back

Ya, to choose what bounties that are legit so difficult, there are many scam ICOs. But, you can learn about ICO, is that seriously project or not, if you find the legit one, try to analys why that can be success.

So far i have not been able to profit from bonties.
Either it is a scam bountie or they reach no cap or something else.
If i do not get lucky soon and also get something for my work i stop bountie hunting.

Actually most of the project are scam and bounty hunters are very dishearted beacause of these unusual situation but of course before some months or a year back there we're very successful icos which make their bounty hunters a lot of profit but now situation has become worst also because of bearish market.

begin to get used to the bounty and ICO. indeed quite a lot of ICO that failed and it was reasonable because the competition is getting tougher ICO. When just always expect the results without being able to study the ICO and the bounty well then when coming across things that always fails is a reasonable condition to occur. Moreover, the quality of the ICO for bad enough this year and found the best it is a hard thing.

Bounties nowadays are no longer get higher profits unlike before cause mostly of the projects now are scam or if not the value of the token is not worth to sell.

That is indeed frustrating to join on fake/scam project. In my condition i had meet that kind of project to, but i keep trying to learn to find any good project.
And the result is good enough, right now i could minimize my chance of meeting that scam project and i got the reward from the project i'm join.

i have not earned the big money through bounties so far. so far, the amounts that i received, were very small. the times when you could make a lot of money with bounties seems to be over. currently you earn only with many luck money by bounties.

I am is new partisipant same with you .i still learn to choose bounties project .
in my opinion to choose a good bounty we see who the developer and partner support their program .they must populer peoples

Well this is the nature of our work as bounty hunters. You cant really be sure that you will get profit from doing bounties, but at least you dont have to lose money. And another thing, if you just go on participating, there are chances you you can land on some promising ICO and earn lot. So dont stop.

Sorry mate, maybe you should be trying to check where you have been getting things wrong instead. The truth here is that there is nothing you can do unless you are ready to start doing due diligence when it comes to participating in bounty campaigns, otherwise, you will keep experiencing the same fate over and over again, and still be expecting different results. Probably, you have been too lazy to always crosscheck the project you want to be a part of and you tend to throw blind eye to the prospect, the product as well as the team and just hop into whatever you feel like, this would always be the outcome.

That is always the thing, and most people just waste their time joining shitty projects because they are simply too lazy to dig on the project they want to be a part of. Time and resources are at stake here, and anyone who take joining projects with levity and are too lazy to do some research on the team, product and the long term potential of the project, will always have themselves to blame in the long run for not taking diligence into consideration in the first place. When you fail to do that diligence, you will higher percentage of the time, experience failed ICOs and of course failed bounties.

Many ico nowadays are failed to attract more investors, and its not surprising . The time market falls down many investors lie low to cryptoworld that results to few investors , and few investors means few funds for the project or ico . We need to become smart and picky , we must know first the ico before joining and participating to their bounty programs.

If the ico you are promoting is failed, of course you will didn't get the reward because the project can't reach the goal. Sure, i've got it but it's been a long time ago. In this year i never get big reward from bounty.

Yes luckily most of the Bounty programs I attended have paid and never exit scammed  ;D

However some ICO's that I've invested in dumped so hard. But it gave me experience. I'm totally ready for nex bull and bear.

Truly this year is not good for Bounty hunters as most of the Bounties/ICO’s got scammed & those which are successful doesn’t bear as much fruit as we want as compare to last year bounty hunters got good share of profit from bounties/ICO’s. Most of the ICO’s loose its value when listed in exchanges. So try to research for good bounties & participate from those good bounties as much as you can. From those only 20% will bear you good profit. Hopefully next year is good for Bounties & ICO's.

Don't give up. It is true that there are bounties from last year that really gave everyone the chance to become rich. And now that we are having a hard time on different ICO to be a successful one, I think most of the newbies will simply leave and give-up while others will remain and still have that chance to get rich. Cultivate your skills on trading. That way you can really know how to generate extra income and profit while the market is unstable and usually going down.

Making some good money on bounties is really been plausible but the chances is getting slimmer as the years goes by due to scammy and fraud projects out there which a certain bounty hunter
would be mainly affected when they aren't being paid up on the work that they have done.Its always been part of the risk and hunters should really be aware on that on the first place.
Its either you would being paid up or not depending on the project success.If not then better to move on and the thing you should do is trying your very best to look out the most
potential project out there which this would really require some serious research on hunters end.

How much money do you expect? and how many times have you taken part bounty campaign this year? In 2017 most of the bounty hunters get big profits because they did hold tokens or coins that they got from the bounty campaign, most of them didn't sold directly after the distributor token was finished. Might if you want to get the amount of money that you expect it will be good to hold a while the token that you had in your wallet, wait a few months later and see the movement of the token if market recover, if the token does not increase then the token is not potentially you can sell it for free.

The problems in ico investments are much more this year than last year. A lot of people have lost their money due to scams or useless projects so people are more skeptical about investing in ICOs.

This means bounty hunting will be more difficult because most bounty hunters are not honest I promotion and repeatedly spam just for the crypto they want to make.

many projects succeed in 2017, and by 2018 I think there are too many failed ico projects, because I experienced that campaigning following projects that failed in their sales and the results of the project were not continued in the sense of failure, so the point is thorough in choosing project

I did, I choose the right bounty the same how I choose which project I should invest. Do your research before joining the campaign, check everything. I don't like to promote any project that I feel it has no value either.

There are so many bounty activities, but there are very few real valuable projects. I hope that the bounty activities I participated in will bring me benefits.

this is a consequence for bounty participants, if ico fails the bounty also fails, this is a common thing and how bounty participants can choose good ico and have the potential to avoid a failure when participating in ico.

A closer look at events this year will make someone to conclude that things has changed drastically. Now we have more bounty hunters with only few credible projects whose bounty allocation is not even that much.

Mostly in all cases it happens. but the fact is that you do not know in advance whether the ICO will be successful. so you just assume and take part in the bounty

10 Signals Of An ICO Scam

https://medium.com/financex/10-signals-of-an-ico-scam-c8876502285b (https://medium.com/financex/10-signals-of-an-ico-scam-c8876502285b)

I'm sure, yes but not this year, in 2017. I understand you and I share your mood but we will see the fruits of our labors in the future when the market will come to life

I started bounty 2018 march i haven't see big money those that did bounty 2017 make it big i think 2017 is only the year of crypto i think iy won't happen like 2017 again

At the moment I was also not lucky enough to choose a good bounty campaign and get a good reward. Most of them carry an ICO for a fixed period of time, and the reward I received from some projects is very small. I hope the situation will improve and most projects will successfully raise funds and achieve hard cap.

Relax friends if the world is spinning.
Everything will be beautiful at the time and if there is an increase in the price of Bitcoin then all of it will rise.
I also feel what you feel. Keep your friends cool !!!

thats right , 2017 is the best year for bounties and airdrops but that is because the value of cryptos were also pumping . now it is completely opposite due to the fact that the overall market is experiencing a huge crash  .

but dont be discourage mate , you know that this is only for temporary because crypto's will always be fluctuating .  just keep on joining bounties/airdrops so that you can collect more coins and you can have the oppurtunity to earn big when the right time come's .

Recently there have been so many failed ICOs. And the bounty is a long time. If it was before, I could easily get the money in just 1 to 2 months. But now I even have to wait half a year. AND I'm not sure they paid me

 I am a certified bounty hunter. I already joined lot campaigns. Some are scam, some failed to reach softcap/hardcap, some pays me a little and some are the big shot. In this year, legit bounties are gard to find because scams are growing its number. This year is very different from the previous years. It is also hard for me now to trust campaigns.

2017 is like the best year for bounty hunters, I've seen many good feedback earning good amount of cryptocurrency from bounties, unfortunately 2018 is not a good year, I think its because of the decline of the crypto prices just like Bitcoin and ETH, too much exposure is also one of the problem because of the increase in new platforms we can experience lack of supporters and investors, and some just use the rising of ICO exposure to do fraud and make fake projects.

risks that can happen to anyone, you should understand
and for results, no one can wait big or small, essentially you have to focus on work and find other knowledge in this forum.

This is a pattern that today still works very well, so I think that today of course it would be right to try to analyze and predict the project in which you want to take part. Yet today it becomes very profitable.

Yep, there are so many scam bounty campaign but I think it's your fault cause you didn't check carefully before joining any bounty campaign :). There are so many bounty hunters still can get a lot of profit from bounty campaigns cause they found out good bounty campaign to join ;). Don't blame anyone or anything.

the fact is that investors now do not trust ICO at all, so they cannot collect their goals ...

now so many ICO and Bounty scam, i have joined many bounty and i get almost reward from them, before i joined, i usualy find out carefully about the project, what product they want to buy, the team, the community of project or it's ok if they reach softcap, this will be 90% you can get reward from bounty and airdrop.

ratings are quite influential on the outcome of the reward bounty.
but the current market situation greatly affects the value of all tokens. almost overall the results of the current bounty cannot be expected.

Yes mate there are too many peoples who earned big amount of money from bounties. You can be sure you can earn that too. Only you need to choose right project. and you need to choose these right projects during bull market :=).

usually when ICO failed that is not just a bounty hunter but unvestor and that ICO company too.
i am as a bounty hunter will say like this "ICO fail and make a bounty hunter not get payment of the work" but that is a bounty hunter.
we must know it, you choos job and doing task and this condition is once of the rules to.

That's life here bro. There is no easy money here if your heard from someone that you can earn money easily here, you're wrong. You've got to gain knowledge, analyze what is a good bounty to join at and what is not. Choose wisely and you will get what you are hoping for.

Failed ICOs are really very disappointing and if ever you will be one of those bounty hunters who had participated in this kind of ICO you will surely not be able to get your bounty payment from this so next time when you want to participate in a certain bounty make sure that nobody from the development team of that bounty are involved in fraud and scam and most of all make sure that the ICO has an actual use in everyday life.

Poor you :(. I'm also in the same situation like you. Because of bear market and ETH price is being very low so almost ICO project delayed their roadmap till the end of this year to wait and hope that ETH price will be better at the end of this year. Beside investors also don't wanna invest at this time cause of low price of ETH and it made so many ICO projects failed.

ico failed, there was no reason for their developers to be able to pay for the services of bounty hunters, because their project was declared a failure and funds were returned to all investors

almost all bounty hunters experience difficulties,
especially for long the tokens are distributed and wait for months. this is the grief that we have to face, especially the current situation.

I will reveal a little secret. No one knows which project will pay 100%. Each of us regularly face this problem. I just do a lot of work.

Look at the high ranks, and try to do work for these companies.

I am a bounty hunter also. and my only job is bounties. I lost my job due to some reasons and then was unable to find one, so i am trying to live on the bounties i earn but sadly i am not making anything in here. There are a few tokens that i got but they are not on any exchange and i don't even know if they will ever make up to an exchange ever.

only managers and translators who get a reward token are quite large.
and for the other campaigns there are very few, especially at this time every outcome of the bounty cannot be expected to benefit quickly.

The main reason why projects fail is because of bountyhunters that are greedy. They only think about themselves, they don't care about the project. I am advising you that if you are going to help some projects you should do it properly, you should give a good thing to the ICO and they will give you a good thing in return. After being a responsible bountyhunter you should be a wise bountyhunter, you should pick ICOs that are active and most especially those ICOs that already became success in their past projects, probably they are not scams.

I think it is your fault. You joined those projectss who have no capacity to reach minimum success in ico. Before participate you should check their projects and need to know it will successful ico or not then you can join bounty.

yes, because if they don't collect their minimum targets, then they have no funds or special allocations for bounty participants, meaning they have the right not to pay bounty participants

I got a good profit from bounties before, but now really it is so hard to get good profit From bounty.
I can suggest to starrt reddit, linkedin, video and translation campaign. If you done with carefully you will get good profit from bounty. Social bounty facebook and Twitter so useless now for a lot of participants.

I will advise you to do a thorough investigation before you participate in their bounty. I have been participating in good projects that have a great future. Try to see the service the ICO is rendering if it is a unique one that the public will like to invest in. There are so many unique projects out there that investor will like. Try to access the project if it is something you can invest if you want to invest in it.

First thing - you tried too less. You are still newbie, and if it is your first account got not ao big experience.
Second thing - time. Just wait, hold. Now is not best time for crypo. Just give your coins some time. And n might be 1 year, 10$ will become 1000, ot 0, you never know, it’s crypto dude  ;D

Be more selective in searching an ICO or a Bounty program. Just investigate the project and you would be able to find out if the project is legit or not. If you spend some time, it would help to save your time and money in the future.

In 2018 I joined 5 bounty, But only 2 bounty distribute the token to me. And all are scam and fail, that ratio is too low for bounty hunters like us and it makes us waste so much time

Do not whine. First, no one will tell you the secrets they use (it is simply not profitable to us). Secondly, everything is in your hands, there are no teachers here.

advice from others is only input for our consideration in making a decision but you are the one who holds what you will absolutely choose. it's better to keep learning and add to your experience so you don't have to depend on others.
because whatever the results are all the paths you choose yourself.

Ratings? Not anymore since ico rating sites do already have the issue on getting paid up just to hype up a certain project.It doesnt really make any influence as of now because most people already
aware on their schemes.
For failed ICO then its not a new thing for this bear market together with lots of scam ico's which will result into this kind of situation which mainly affects bounters.

You should choose a bounty program not by the size of awards but by the prospects of the project. It is better to earn at least something than to go to work for the promised tens of thousands of dollars and earn 0.

As would be quite logical. After all, the main goal of bounty hunters is to attract investors and if they failed to do so - they do not receive payments.

If last year I could feel the sweetness of following a number of projects at a considerable cost but for this year it was very bad to overwrite many ICO with the number of ICOs that appeared and lower Crypto prices so that more ICOs failed but this worked so that each of our projects failed and followed, I will continue to try to continue analyzing every time I will join the campaign in hopes of getting a good project.

Yes that's right that's why it's getting higher in risk now for this bounties to join because of the market condition. I advise to just learn trading for now and also to seek out those with stable payout jobs right now like community management or other management that will involve paying in already listed tokens that have good value and with decent equivalent in fiat.

I'm not sure if there are still people who are earning big with bounties. It's not going to be enough to be a source for living so don't expect too much with those.

---

If the bounty is good, hunters will come and allocation and stakes will be lessen due to participants influx.

That is the risk of joining bounties, there were some cases in the past that those that invested their time in bounties could get some really good rewards if the coin skyrocketed, but we now know that is going to be very difficult to happen, so most of those that are trying to earn money with bounty campaigns have a lot of problems to make as much money as they did int the past.

Yeah you're right today too many bounty failed in ICO. Last year the bounty program is very promising. I only got few dollars from bounty this year im done with scams project. Finding a good project is a solution with this situation.

Success in bounty is very dependent on the situation on the market. Now even good projects have lost much in value. Bounty hunters are not long-term investors and therefore they cannot wait until the project can realize itself.

I have been lucky with AlphaCar bounty which was recently distributed. But although, the team is yet to get the project listed, but it is a very good project with huge prospects.

I have already experienced both of them being a bounty hunter my entire membership in this forum.
Sometimes, i earned big from both social media and signature campaign from a promising ICO.
Sad to say, i also earned nothing and just wasted my time from a scam ICO.
Life's like that and we should accept it, move on and live with it.

I do not expect a lot of money for my bountie participation. It looks like the days are over when you could make a lot of money through bounties. I participate because i want to learn about crypto by the way and if i earn next to just a few dollars, it is better than nothing.

I agree with you that when ICOS campaigns fail, we participate in Bounties campaigns also fail. The most influential and dangerous element is always from Bitcoin. Because the price is too low. We are making it smarter and smaller than ever as we spend more time failing.

if in my personal opinion, it failed ico from a project that I followed then it was also a failure to follow the bounty. this is because I will not receive a gift from the project.

I think most people here do not look at the mirror and access themselves, when campaign says they are given out $2 million some are even ridiculous and budget $5 million just to attract people to their project what do you think of the project, we need to be realistic now because of the bear market, it is getting increasingly difficult for projects to raise money now, there are projects that even to raise $5 million is a huge task.

you're right, we must really be realistic in this matter. sometimes bounty and ICO run in harmony, but there are some ICOs that are not in harmony with their bounty. well, so we should really pay attention to this so that it is avoided from scammers.

I had some failed bounties as well... some them even pay the tokens, but their value is not even worth to send to exchange...
Now I find myself very rigid on the bounty selection and it has became very hard to find good bounties to participate in...
I've arrived to the conclusion that, like another user has already said, it is time to complete the cycle and develop other areas like the trading skills...
good luck on your hunting!! take care.

In 2018 i am also faced many failed ico's with failed bounties, my total reward for one year less then one ETH

I personally spent almost 7 months running a bounty but did not get anything from my work.
and clearly I think this year is a very sad year for investors and bounty hunters.

Yeah,  your right. Now, it's not easy for them to raise money. There are many project cant reach their cap so it will affect on their bounty program.

that is coorect. in 2018 there so many bounty hunters, so many ICOs and not so many investors. that is the reason that you don't earn. but at least you don's lost anything. it is just good experience.

If the reason for you to do cryptocurrency is because of bounty, you have set yourself up for stress, discontent and failure. There are many activities that cryptocurrency offers that could change your lots!

Well, we all have problems with it. And believe me, I am faithful to us for beginners who will not tell you where a good project is. I also encounter such a problem very often.

I had a couple of successful bounty companies for which you could live for 1-2 months without a job. But it was only 2 times in 1 year, which means that it is impossible to live on the bounty.

In how their bounty are you participating? twitter, facebook, signature, article or translator? Profit bounty fell very badly and sometimes I want to send it all to hell!

I never said team change pool project is a scam bounty, because most of their law has stated they have full rights to change content at any time. So we are the participants, we only have the right to comment on them, how is it suitable for both the team and the participants.

I think that today a similar problem have most of the bounty hunters, personally I have not received a reward since spring but I hope that with the restoration of the situation in the crypto market, trust in the ICO will also be restored.

Apart from failed ICOs projects we also in the era of tokens becoming worthless after listing in an exchange thus rendering the efforts of the bounty hunters in futility while investors also groans as the price dumps all these makes Cryptos not getting much attentions unlike last year.

It stupid to joined many bounties in the same time, you never know which is the scam or which one will fail in the future, it wastes your time if joined the bounty before, tries to find the promising project and keep your reward after the market grow, I think it will earn some money.

Yes there is ! There are lot of active bounties out there where you can participate and take part on the allocated rewards to be given at the end of the bounty program. Always put on our mind that the bounty programs is still depends on the progress of it's ICO , if the ICO failed the bounty also does but don't hesitate to participate on other bounties again or never frustrate ourselves.

Of course how they can reward you if their ICO was failed?, well this year is not good for the ICO's because of the down market, only few ICO's are successful, try to join again and make sure you do a research.

I agree. Bounty is not worth it when you find is wrong. In have many coins that do not have listed on the market even after the campaign and being abandoned by the developers. But some are alive and still working on it. Hopefully that time has come that the alive coin could gain value in the market because it is a payment for all effort we made to support the projects.

Of course, to get a reward, you need to find a successful ICO, but with the current market and a lot of scam it is very difficult to do. But generosity depends not only on this, you also need to have a high rank.

You just need to look more carefully for projects.Due to the bad market, many people just take a wait-and-see position.So more work and you will be rewarded necessarily.Even in such a bad market, many ICO still collect pretty good amounts. And they do not offend participants in the bounty.Ie now there is such a moment when it is necessary to participate not in everybody's bounty, but to choose more closely the projects that carry out bounty.

These are obvious things when they talk about cryptocurrencies implying that cryptocurrencies must collect money, because if a project cannot raise money, it simply cannot pay anything and cannot work.

Well am still not surprise such topic is being raise here till date about how some Bounty participants didn't receive payment for their Bounty or how they participated in failed ICO project. This is inevitable in the space and I think it is better you carry out proper research before participating in any Bounty you choose to take part in. Try and Read up this Thread, I think it contains some guidelines about Bounty: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5031657.msg45856516#msg45856516

Bounty campaigns are currently in a troubled period but I think they continue to participate.Because in the future, it may turn into a surprise.

If you simply want that which you have participated or participating in to give you some benefits in the long term, I am sure you will try as much as possible to do due diligence when you are trying to participate in a bounty.

Things just do not happen out for you by luck unless you understand you will always have to make your own move, and make sure that what you are putting your time and resources into will be worth it in the long run. There is no way in this day and age, an ICO will not fail if it is useless, and if you participate in something that is shitty, then you will have yourself to blame after wasting your precious time.

 Most of the ico projects fail, or even if they call for enough capital, they lose value when exchanging tokens,for the past nine months I have not gotten anything from bounties or airdrops/troubled period/, maybe a quality project like before

I have the same problem, when it's bounty like relentless rain.
many jobs but not valued. I hate this situation and almost give up. I hope that next year this situation can change.

That is why in every situation you always have to at least try as much as possible to fine tune your own skills to be able to get the best eventually from any project in the long run.

You may think there has been a lot of bounty hunters, but in the same vein you also have to understand that there are some campaigns within a bounty that some people run away from because they do not have the skills to do it well, why not learn the skill and hop into those ones while making sure you are using your time on a project that is worth it in the long run, by also doing some good research on the team and the product availability.

Hopefully yes but don't put your hopes high because it might get more worst, whether we like it or not we need to deal with it.
Of course failed icos won't get paid their bounty participants and even they pay them the token will be just useless as shit, and I think nobody wants that.

Many of the community here got some big profit with their bounties, just look back 3 years ago. By that time I could say most of the campaign are good and they pay in the right time. But comparing now, it was a big far difference where most of the campaign failed their ico.  Though, there is total stakes or token but never been distribute to the participants to their wallets at all.

Since they are related by nature, therefore, a failed ICO means a failed bounty too. Bounty is just a creation out from ICO's idea and in the hopes of reaching its targeted soft or hard cap, bounty was created. If the team that made the ICO will not function well, then chances are, a failed ICO is about to happen.

Simple way to describe what bounty is, it's only the way to attract people to advertize their project to other people. How will they pay people if they didn't get money from investors? Also, nowdays, there are lot of fake ICOs which only want to scam investors

Thank you for the good advice, I have hundreds of tokens I don't understand what this token is. if anyone wants to buy it, I will sell it immediately.
I have no doubt, even if one day the token has a price.

Have you been contributing services for a bounty campaign for a long time? I think you're new here compared to other friends. You need to work harder if you want to get maximum results. I have been in the bounty campaign for over a year, many bounties have been successful, but the pay is not too big. There are even ICOs that reach hardcaps, but the pay is minimal and there are even no markets. But do not discourage us in this matter. And my advice, you also need to learn more about cryptocurrency. Because it is not only bounty to get money, there are investments, mining, and so on.

I made good amount of money from bounty campaigns in 2017, but this year, things have changed. I think the situation of bounty is relevant to the situation of total Crypto market, ICOs will not end, it is just not appropriate time to run an ICO, because investors prefer keeping their money when the market situation is bad, but when we join the bull market, new kind of ICO will appear.

The earnings of the bounty hunters will depends on the outcome of the ICOs which we participated. Thus we make it sure that our works will not be wasted on those fake projects. Moving forward, we should have our checklist that we will consider before joining the bounty and this will include the checking of thus ICOs to have a assurance that the project is not a scam. Although it's unpredictable but we have a higher chances if we will do our own diligent research.

Find the best ICO's then, maybe you have joined a low potential project that's why majority of the campaigns you joined have failed. Do a research and evaluate them to avoid scam projects. This year bounties are not so rewarding but always stay patient, no matter how small you got it can be worth a fortune in the future.  

I think it is very difficult to find a good ICO project to earn. Now the number of scammers is just a record high. I think you just need to be a little bit more careful and then you will not waste any more time

I was almost desperate because now it failed and I was not paid for my hard work, different from last year, the ICO average was all successful and rarely failed.

Do you have a source for this information regarding the record high scams?
i think that the record high was in the start of this year.

Ive joined several bounties and got some nice profit and some failed and only took so much of my time. Thats why it is better to make a little research on every bounty campaign you wish to join in.

I had gone from this situation many times. I did many bounty campings and most of them become successful but rest of the half make me think that what time I had spent on that fraudulent projects. Due to this thing, I learned how to choose good bounty.

Don't feel comfortable with one job, the bounty does not guarantee that it will provide a great advantage at this time. the market situation did not improve at the end of this year. Iico investors think hard to invest as a result many projects are postponed and failed. I think 2018 is the worst year for a bounty hunter.

You do not really know how much time you're going to need to wait for the coins that you receive after a bounty campaign to have any value and when we take into account that most coins disappear after a few months of being in the market and we also consider that the market is not giving signs that it is going to recover it is likely that your participation in those campaigns is going to be futile.

Literally, when an ICO fails, bounty campaigns will also fail. That is not new in the world of crypto startups especially when the project doesn't hit the desired fundings form them to continue their project. It's only then you will realize that you are just wasting your time doing weekly works for the campaign.

So many ICO are failing today, even though some of them met their softcap they then vanish and no rewards are given. I have this one bounty when after the ICO sale, they burn a lot of tokens leaving a small circulation amount that leads also to little rewards for bounty.

Most of the rising ico these days fail because of the lack of experienced members,  raised money is not enough to continue the project ,and lastly no one is buying thier token.

well, sometimes the payment of a bounty depends on how successful the project is. so, when a project fails, I feel, there is no payment for the bounty hunter. I have experienced something like this several times.

Most ICO's would definitely failed up nowadays and only a few will able to hit up their cap and its just normal to think that if the project didn't able
to reach their suggested funding then its normal for bounty hunters to expect that they wont really get anything and that's definitely always be part of the risk
as a hunter so you should prepare yourself on that.

Don't consider it as the worst year because still, you can start working the project and start holding the coins in the market. Of course, there are many failed projects in the market but everything depends on us to choose the right one and with the right developments team.

ICO failed means they don't even reach their soft cap so the team will return the money to the investors and will shut their project anymore so how they will pay the bounty hunters.So you need to join on the best ICO projects if you want to get paid or just stick with the bitcoin paying campaigns but nowadays no ICO running bitcoin payment campaigns.

If you learn how to choose the right projects then you will understand that it is easy and scams are few in fact. You just followed the wrong tactics and therefore lost a lot

Its problem this f this year, yep there are many scams but many legit projects fali and cant go on ,some days ago Humancoin inform users they stop project as cant countinue with this situation.

Many of us got good profits at the end of last year and earlier this year but these things don't last long. Projects simple can't raise enough funds, market is down and so are our rewards, nothing can be done about this. You don't have to join bounties and waste time thinking that you won't receive reward.

Except for bounties that pay out in tokens already created, or even those that pay out in liquid cryptocurrency (Bitcoin and ETH). If I recall properly one of my very early signature campaigns more or less had a failed ICO in the sense they did not collect enough funds but they paid out anyway and we still decided to proceed. I've also seen one that failed in end of 2016, and just went ahead to develop throughout 2017 and now, and they're about to try for another very small round of crowdfund.

Kind of projects or developers that doesn't really easily give up on what they do want to achieve. Sometimes funding would really be hard if we do base on the current market condition
plus the confidence of people thru investment nowadays is becoming slimmer. Ive remembered some bounties that do pay up with BTC or ETH.

It's normal you can't get your bounty tokens if ico failed thats the risk involved participating on bounties and for me it's fine.

I received big profits it is because I keep on reading the rules of the bounty and the most importang thing is take a look at the project imagine how big would it be in the future because you need to speculate it and read the whitepaper their aim and goal of the project think if its a big hit in the society. Just keep on reading bro it will help you to earn huge profits from bounty

only little a few people who really get some big profit with their bounties, because this year there are many SCAM projects. I personally only get a small profit in my gift, this might be influenced by the current market conditions that are still declining.

now many fail and ico is not reached, even though the token is shared but only garbage tokens or coins have no hope. I was always disappointed and almost desperate

the failure of ico means that it also fails the bounty project you are following. and you will not get paid. This memnag happens very often, even I have experienced it very often. therefore I realized the weakness of the project's team performance. we don't need to be disappointed if we don't get paid from projects that the ico fails or projects that don't reach the target. they also did not get the results of the project that failed.

Money has never been the most important thing that a project should have, the two most important things a project needs to have so it can become successful are a good idea and the ability to make that idea a reality and unfortunately many icos do not have any of those two factors and as you may guess that causes them to fail and to lose money in the long term.

With the experience you got now will surely help you to reach your desired best campaigns. Because not only you many people failed to choose the right project for getting paid because we don't have proper experience in choosing the right project. So experience is one of the most efficient things in every sector.

Choosing a bounty ico campaign is really a hard task and no one can master it even of he or she is already a veteran on the cryptocurrency scene .  that is why you cannot say that your experience can help here , what we trully need is luck so that we can somehow choose the legit ones over the thousand fake and scam projects .

The growing number failed ico bounties might also caused by a poor market condition because i noticed that last year where all cryptos are booming , the succes rate of picking an ico/bounty has also been raised .

I agree, and also the circumstances dictate how well you're going to do with bounty campaigns, in the previous year many people were making good money with bounty campaigns because the market of cryptocurrencies was giving profits that we have never seen before but now that the market is crashing it is almost impossible to make sufficient profits with bounty campaigns.

to avoid a failed project, you can join a bounty that has reached the softcap, usually projects that have reached the softcap on their sales have a great chance to distribute rewards to the bounty hunter.

I never receive big amount of money from the beginning by just joining bounty program because as you said there are many ICOs failure that is why those bounty project turn to be scam and their participants did not get their reward by just doing all task there in that bounty.

Maybe the solution of this big problem is take more time to gather more knowledge on how to distinguish which are possible project that can bring good future for us, and we need to learn how to recognize which   project are scam and possible to be scam in the future, so in that we can go away from that bounty and we can choose the good one.

Now finding a really successful ICO project is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You don't have to think too much, if you get a reward, you'll be waiting for the bull season again.

We need to wsit for another year in order to see bull run because market fluctuation are kept increasing. Now only successful projects are reaching their hard cap because they are showing their potential about their future developments.

What you say is true, why? because most rules bounty campaign, they will distribute bounty when they have reached the Softcap, Yeah that why if ICO not reach the softcap then bounty will fail as well

I have got some big rewards from some bounties that I participated before , like Nuclus vision bounty , but they were in 2017 , From middle of 2018 finding those kind of bounties has been very hard but i still believe we can get some fish even in stormy weather .

for 5 months I worked and I haven't got anything now. I began to doubt that bounty would be my main job. I have to find another job without leaving the bounty. one day I will find a good bounty.

The crypto market is very low at the moment so new projects are merely getting any investors even when the bitcoin is struggling to get the cap values into it so ICOs are getting failed and even some ICOs which reached soft cap also returning their investment amount just because the price drop of the crypto currencies so you need to wait until the market gets recovered if you want to make profits from bounties.

Most of us the same experience so I feel you that after your hard work and don't have reward it hurt to us. That's why we need to find a very good one project so we can earn too a good reward. Qw need to study the we want deeply so we k ow what will be the worth of that project.

It is clear that bounties campaigns are not going to be profitable for some time so it is better for you to try to find other ways to get tokens during the bear market, I know it is not easy but if bounty campaigns are not profitable and are in fact turning out to be a complete waste of time it is better that you use your time to try to find some other way to make money in the market.

I know that and I have experienced a lot of those kind of bounties that never have been to anywhere , but what can we do?can we predict future?
I try to join to bounties with good bounty manager but still there is no guarantee that it has a happy ending!

do not complain about all your failures in participating in bounty and ico programs, not only are you tired but I also feel what you feel now, if my advice now is to find projects that are clearly in funding and good concepts with well-known partners in their fields and look for experienced managers too.

Most bounties I joined has become successful in ICOs this year however price of token is 90% less ICO price when listing on exchanges and its not good to bounty hunters like us I hope many managers start to pay us in eth and not in token some changes will be made.

That one reason why i hate those ico sometimes, cause after working for almost two months you wont get nothing. What i do is to check first the project if its legit or.not.

I can tell that got profit from project with failed ICO. They cut bounty payments, but distributed it. And also they did not stop to develop project, so this week i sold their tokens. And it is really strange, because sometimes i cant sell tokens from 'successful' projects, which raised millions $.

I'm interested in crypto coin for 1.5 years, and I've actually earned $ 200-250 as a prize. But often stems from my own mistakes, need to know to sell when the price rises

With the current bad situation, most hunters have no positive results. This is true, a lot of people feel tired just like you. I am also one of them.

From month of April, ICO are getting failed and they are not able to pay their bounty hunters. Some of bounty managers transferred tokens but that tokens are not listed on any exchange. I will suggest you to participate in those bounties that are paying in ETH or BTC. Otherwise you will participate in 10 bounty campaigns and there is 50% change that you will get reward from one bounty campaign that will pays you.

Bad markets make projects unable to call capital successfully. It's a common situation, all bounty hunters are going through the same situation as you.

That's why you joined on IOVO campaign, which will pay you with ETH and some of their ICO token.
But to let you know, if a token hasn't listed yet on exchange, it's because they are afraif if their token will be worthless on market like this.

Due to the market fluctuation, even some potential ICO's cannot able to manage to reach the hard cap. So after crowdsale along with the developments, they will surely reach a higher value in the market. So we need to have little patience for marker recovery.

What you mean by success? If the coins that you got out of a bounty campaign are going down in value then how can you say that the ico has been successful, if a project has good developers and they have a good idea and they work hard to make it a reality then the coin will become successful and naturally its price will go up so if the price has not go up and instead is going down then most likely that ico is a failure.

You have to follow a lot of bounties, and choose a quality bounty. don't just choose bounty and due to the market fluctuation, even some potential ICO's cannot able to manage to reach the hard cap. So after crowdsale along with the developments, they will surely reach a higher value in the market. So we need to have little patience for marker recovery.

To avoid such situations, always choose bounties of ICOs where its team members attend roadshows and other crypto conferences.
Nowadays people wont invest in ICOs whose team members are standing behind the curtain. Thats the reason why many icos fail. Another important thing is check whether the team have their mvp ready. If these two things are there then join in that bounty. Definitely it will manage to reach softcap and you will get paid for your hardwork.

I agree with you that the team is an important part of a project. but there are lots of ico hadcap but the payment for the bounty hunter is still postponed, this is a result of the decrease in the price of bitcoin followed by other coins.
procrastination is part of the strategy to stay in this situation.

I see people don't work too hard for the prize anymore. Because many projects fail, even if they distribute bounty tokens, they are not listed on a exchange.

Then the best thing you got or learned from them is their similarities.  I'm sure that you have noticed the there is a pattern in those projects that have failed on their ICOs. Use them so next time that there is only a small chance that your efforts will be in vain again. You can also try this trick which is that you will only join in the middle where you can see that the ICO project is very close in closing their softcap.
