I need an adjust to those some bounty hunters that experiencing the delayed distribution of their coins. Because I joined 3 bounties before but it is almost 5 to 6 months but until now they are always saying after ICO ends but base on their road map the distribution and exchange will be on Q4. Can you please give me hope that before this year end I can get my token and to exchange it. Thank you.

5 to 6 months is nothing compared to earlier projects that took a year before distribution was made. But bounty hunters got rewarded eventually. The way I see it, roadmaps are just guides or a time table for a project's operation if it pushes through. But we cannot depend on them literally coz there are factors that can halt any schedule like market condition or legality issues. So we should expect from the start that there will be delays.

most likely you won`t, sorry.
the problem is that Bounties had started before the drop and took Ethereum rated 250-400$ now we see less than 200$.
Taking this in considiration they are waiting for next Bullrun for exchanging

First, you didn't mentioned what bounties did you joined.

Second, So its hard to comment on whether they're going to pay actually. But you have to understand that we're in the bearish trend maybe that's why those 3 ICO's are just holding it up because they are scared that they will see a huge dump right after listing it on an exchange. So their project will suffer as a result of this.

Agree, he must mention the bounty programs he joined. It will be easier for us to study the problems.

I also experienced this, some projects disappeared after the delay and some said still focus on developing their projects. However, I just go on with other new bounties while waiting for the distribution. If I am lucky, they will send the rewards but if not, I will forget the bounties.

He doesn't want to complain about fear of not getting paid I understand him, but if the project is successful and it's already in the market, you will eventually get paid it happens on another project just keeps on getting an update and ask the bounty manager it's his obligation to see to it that you get your rewards but it should not be over 6 months it's too much.

There are plenty of projects that take a long time to pay bounty tokens. So long as the project and bounty team is legit and you can see your earned tokens in bounty spreadsheet, chances to get those are still fine.

I fully understand your concern sir. But we can never really rely on the roadmap on the project. Because it can changed and it is still not fixed. I think the team would like to extend their sales because of the current situation on the market. But if the team says the distribution will be after the ico sales then it will be. Just be patient.

it's normal but you can't called them scam because project still have development update, maybe they postponed their token sale date and you need to wait for ICO ends only can receive your reward (if successful raised fund), I've join some bounty campaign but project haven't listed on exchange after 1 year, some project need 1 year to paid all the bounty reward (token locked), as a bounty participants you can't doing anything, just patience wait for reward come to your wallet

Lots of projects in 2018 did that, i myself have tokens waiting for almost a year, one of the projects ended in june , i got my tokens 2 weeks ago but they are locked until january 2019, hopefully people won't dump their at the start.

It is indeed a worrying event, following a bounty of 5 to 6 months is a long time, this is mostly bounty hunters feel bored, but with your belief it does not leave it, and when looking at the market today many projects have delayed or extended the sales schedule, so be patient just because all of this is not instant. Requires a short time and process.

The delayed payment could also be part of the marketing effective strategy to maintain the potential and purpose of the tokens when hit the exchange. Of course the management know the future of the tokens than us. I also think that it is alright to wait the payment that is sure to send than to wait the forever waiting rewards. Be more patient and wait furthermore of your rewards. It is just adjustments of something for the better marketing.

Unfortunately, you may have encountered a scam because good bounty activities won't look for various reasons to delay the release of the token.

We are the same, some also of my bounties attended was not paying. 1 out 7 bounties is paying while the other is always saying that theirs no official announcement for distribution and that so embassing in us bounty hunters. Lets find out next year because most says 1Q of year 2019 will crypto 's year. All will rise up and more ICO will be succesfully finished and do the distribution.But I will believed if it happens actually.

There are many projects like you that delay distribution and listing. Because the market is very low now. They will change their roadmap. Timely attention should be paid to the latest progress of the project team.

I rather not give you a false hope. You may not be paid this year. It is best you work with this assumption. I have a bounty i completed since July, and another one since August, yet I haven't been paid. The delay in bounty payment is too common.

That was too long already. I can say ICO are really affected by the price of BTC at the market. You just have to talk to your baounty manager or direct messeg them on telegram channel.

Yes, for some reason this year they are very poorly paying rewards for the Bounty. You have to wait 3-6 months, or even more. And the rewards this year are smaller. Bounty is dying ...

Unfortunately, it is happening very usual. One the one hand it is good for the project, that bounty hunter would get their tokens a bit later, because of the dump. But on the other hand it is very unfair to let hunters wait for a long time.

I have been involved in bounty programs for more than 1.5 years and during this time there are many projects that have not paid the promised reward at all. I absolutely don’t worry when they don’t pay me, because bounty programs are just a hobby for me, which sometimes brings a good income (sometimes very good, I think many people will understand) projects do not want to distribute tokens in this period. Be patient and wait. The main thing is to follow their official telegram group and ask questions about payments.

It can be a scam but doesn't necessarily meant that it is.
Sometimes a project barely makes soft cap and therefore they have limited resources at their disposal. Listings on exchanges cost money + they have other expenses to pay like day to day operation, marketing, R&O and with limited resources all this becomes hard to do. That can be a reason why your distribution is late. 

There are different situations, if the project values its reputation, you will receive your payments, but it may be another way to scam.

I think sir some of the bounty was scam because I remember when I joined on one of the bounty after 2 to 3 months the campaign end they already didn't  update the telegram, Facebook all other social media that they connected even the bounty manager was didn't replying or always ignoring my message regarding of the token distribution so I think we need to be careful in terms of joining campaign but it is hard to find it out if scam or not the bounty campaign.

Today, the market situation is very negative and therefore many companies are changing the rules of the Bounty campaigns. We need to understand this. We will receive our coins, but this takes time after the market recovers.

It is very difficult now for hunters to be generous. Some projects do not pay, and those who paid do not go to the stock exchange. But I think that everything will be fine soon and we just need to have patience and wait.

You made.a good point here why some bounty campaign payments are delayed. This might be the thing done by some bounty hunters of dumping their token right away considering that the market is do down. It is more likely when release this year would only mean a dying token in no time. Timing is also a consideration.

This year is very frustrating for bounty hunters because of lots of scam ICOs and if ever there is a successful ICOs, some bounty team would delay the distribution of bounties and fabricate reasons just like you mentioned above. Patience is required and consistently communicate with your bounty manager for the update of distribution dates. Rest assured that bounties will be given as long as you comply with the rules and that project is not a scam.

As long as the project we are working on is good it is no problem waiting for some not to be distributed token. Maybe they have to do what they cannot achieve their project targets. the road map is only their guide in managing their time and strategy and planning in the next few months. There are many projects that do not fit the road map but eventually succeed. We must think positively and keep abreast of information on the development of the project.

I think everyone will face this problem because for now tokens hard to listed on market. If me i already prepared for it because bounty campaign is my side job, i believe this kind of job wouldn't really always good.

Actually, they delayed payments coz they really wanted to grab the attention of consumers and being on the crypto space they want the market to recover to a next pace and not a stable price of 6k. Correct me if im wrong?

As long as the ICOs are successful and there is no any announcement from them, they are good for waiting. The delay might be due to the down market and thinking that their tokens will be high affected when brought down to the market. I think you can still wait or have them message to ask what probably might be the cause of the delay.

Everything goes through a process. Unfortunately, delays are part of the process. Which is why we should have prepared ourselves for these things from the start. I do believe that each project's teams are working hard to meet their schedule. But there are instances that certain events happen which would cause delay. But this does not generally mean that investors and bounty hunters are not gonna be compensated. It's just about being patient and understanding the situation.

Just trust on the developer of the project and keep updated on what is going on well if you compared on me in to you I was waiting my bounty payment for a year they always say tgat distribution would take place, well all we can do right now is to wait for the payment of the project even if we complain it can't do anything.

I guess we cannot really point out their roadmap because everyone in the crypto-space is having trouble right now in such a reason that the crypto market situation is in a critical condition. And also, Bounties have also their own problems resulting to the delayed distribution but you can wait, it will be given.

I'm also experiencing this kind of delay in my last signature bounty because it's already been a couple of months and it's not been yet distributed and the coin is already been listed on exchanges. I still hope I could get it by the end of November.

So bounty token not distributed almost 6 month from you join bounty campaign ? usually token for bounty will distributed 1 month - 2 month(max.) after ico. if they didn't distributed token, ask team about that should be something wrong with it.

It really just depends on the project. They may pay eventually or they may not at all. Bounty payouts are just sporadic and unreliable. I hope for the best for you.

With the bear situation of the market right delayed payment of bounty ang listing of exchange is now common on ICO bounties. No one can assure if you would be able to get your payment because I too has been waiting for at least 10 bounties where the distibution should be done almost 5 to 6 months ago but I have not yet received any payment.

Nowadays bounty hunting is also a game of luck, as most of those projects extend because of lacking supports coming from the community and most of the time they just pause or stop the project when they can't find any solutions to exist, though some of them have chance to finish the ico but because of this bearish market they still pending to add to any exchange as they don't want bounty to dumped the tokens right away, don't give up just stay calm and hope for the best..

you can only wait and probably you are not alone experiencing delayed distribution. i even joined a bounty that they said they don't require kyc for bounty hunters and then at the end of the campaign they require it.

delays in the distribution of this time indeed often encountered. If the ICO is finished then at least from the team gave information about the reasons for such delay. If they are just silent then don't blame a lot of people who think it is a scam. ask this to the manager is concerned I think it right to get answers.

Q4? then its not yet distributed maybe they are maximizing the quarter and they will only distribute those coins on December or probably at the very end of the year.

Ask your bounty manager as he's the communication bridge to the devs and to the bounty participants. That's all you have to do.

If you have picked some well-managed Bounty programs that are hosted by either a reputable company or a respected forum member then you should have no problems being paid out your stakes at the conclusion of the campaign. Listing is a different kettle of fish as it depends on many factors but at the present time some savvy project managers are holding off on listing to try and insulate themselves from an immediate drop in value.

Whatever anybody tell you here does not guarantee that you will get the rewards,so asking someone to assured you that you will get the reward is out of it especially when you did not disclose the name of the project.All you need to do is remain in the community of each project to get update.Many at times things might not go according to the road map due to somethings beyond control like the bear market we are having now.As long as the project as not vanished,just wait and hope.

most of the time the lateness in the distribution of reward bounties often occurs mainly to enter in a number of exchanges, of course this cannot be avoided with what happened to trading. Market turmoil forced the developers to consider distributing rewards on schedule and entering the stock exchange. this is to get around the destruction of prices after entering the exchange

Giving you hope and you later end up not getting the tokens is meaningless. Some projects are.like that and most times the participants forget about them even after doing the tasks. That is why most participants avoid new tokens. They scam a lot. I have my bitter experience and some of the tokens I have still not received.

Road map is just an estimation of the minimum time frame needed to accomplish certain goals in a project, It doesn't mean that's the exact time such goals will be attained. Current market situation has had made almost every project deviate at least a little from the initial roadmap or timeline. A lot of issues which cannot be foreseen also can have a project delay listing on an exchange, most especially the MVP. If the project chooses to pay eventually at the end of the day, it might be worth be wait, some projects will duly deliver all they need is just to be given more time.

we all feel that, even I have waited for one year for the signature reward bounty and that has not yet been exchanged, so the possibility is still very long in waiting.
this is a risk that we have to go through friends

I think the Road map can disregard what ever updates should be made as long as they have been stated or mentioned on rules upon participating the bounty. We don't a choice except to accept the situation, this is for further development of the project for a better future.

Glad to hear that, I haven't found someone who is like you who makes bounty campaign as a hobby. How can you do this? and what are the factors that make you decide bounty campaign is a hobby? All we know, bounty campaign is a way to get cryptocurrency even though eventually every bounty hunter wants to get a big reward from this place. And I know too, a few years back bounty campaigj is a promising place to get cryptocurrency, I guess many of them have gained wealth from this place. However, at this time it seems like the bounty campaign isn't like the one before, and I don't deny there are still people like you.

These days, new ICOs needed 5 to 6 months to distribute their bounty rewards, it varies from ICOs to ICOs, some will distribute in 1-2 months, some takes 3 months, some more than 6 months, and sometimes there is a chance that bounty not at all distributed due to failed collection or failed bounty or scam ones.

many feel the same if there is no exchange when the bounty distribution is done. now we only have to be patient until the coins are released on the exchange. but there is another way to find someone who dares to accommodate the coin and we can make a sale.

I think most bounty hunters had this experience. Many token hold by developers because they do not want price drop when launch in exchanger or developers team still negotiotion with exchanger. Many factors why bounty do not getting paid. But if we join in good bounty, i am believe we get paid

Bounty reward delay is as a result of failed expectation of some sort. It could be that the bounty does not raise enough funds or the marjet condition is not just right for release or reward or both!

i can only confirm that it is currently absolutely normal to wait so long for the payment. most ico projects see no reason to pay their supporters quickly. i do not like this development, but i do not know what to do about it.

Yes it is really frustrating and so sad when you participate to a certain bounty but in the end you will just experience a delayed distribution of payment and much worst the very delayed listing of your payment into the market exchange which makes the payment you received seems useless.

They still do not remove the channels, and answer questions, so I think you should not lose hope!

I am not surprised by what you say, that it is true. there are a number of ico that I follow even to this day which are still not shared for the bounty reward. I think some of the assumptions of friends before me have a point. Market turmoil has led many developers to cancel the distribution, including to be registered in exchange.

These days majority of ICOs are doin the same as they believe that delay in distribution will help them in capping the coins in market.

Some bounty do delay distribution bade on fact like, confirmation of each tasks carry out by each individual and may want to correct any problem they have.

it is the decision of the project leader, but if they deny and are not the same on the roadmap. the project needs to be watched out, because all projects currently underestimate the contribution of bounty hunter participants

this are the risks that the bounty hunters have to accept the bounty token can be distributed after two weeks from the end of the bounty campaign like after a year, or maybe distributed but blocked, it is about luck and to choose some more or less valid ico, however i hope you receive the tokens by the end of the year

Some bounties delay payment and exchange listing in term of their reasons and strategies. We should give time for them, if they still active and give suitable answers to us, no worry. Maybe the bad market is the reason because the bad market will dump their token and make investors lose trust on their project, now is not the good time for all new project to list their tokens on exchanges.

There are projects or ICO that are like that anyway, delayed distribution specially for bounty in order not to dump the price in the exchanges which i am also experiencing right now. But i hope they are true to their words, i am still hoping for the tokens too.

maybe the distribution is not delayed but the bounty is still waiting to reach ICO so that the target is fulfilled. there are also bounties in time, some are late and some don't share tokens.

This is pretty normal they do not want to send bounty tokens to bounty hunters because they know that bounty hunters will dump the price.

Unfortunately we have no choice but to wait, we need the project to complete it's roadmap and the project needs to be successful to have a good reward. Just avoid icos which are scam and most likely they won't give you your bounty.

delayed bounty in distribution may be due to the achievement of the target ico that has not been achieved so that they meet the target first until it is fulfilled but if it is not fulfilled then the token is not distributed.

The team is perhaps holding the so that the price won't dip while bear market still continue. If they have distributed the tokens right now just as the team who did last few months, their token would have been valuable still. Weidex didn't yet distributed just like the Bitfence because they know they can contribute to the dip of the market.

Not the best time for the crypto and bounties at all. Don't expect too much from bounty now. 

As for me, I recieved some good bounties this year. It's not so big as in 2017 but I hope next year our reward will be much more bigger. With the new wave of bullrun, our rewards will recover.

That is to say, you also experience injustice as I feel, so many bounty managers always postpone distribution and threaten to expel us from the telegram group if we continue to complain, there is not much to do but wait for distribution, this really sucks

I think there are several reasons that many projects delay the distribution of their tokens, one of which is that prices do not fall and sink, it will be detrimental, especially for ICO participants

Unfortunately many projects have intentionally delayed listing and token issuance because of market conditions. What they do not recognize is that investors and bounty hunters both invested time and money under the pretext that the investment would be made liquid by the issuance of tokens. Failing to seek a listing and and issue tokens in a timely manner robs investors of price discovery. In almost every case this delay will turn investors against the project owners and result in a large selloff when the tokens are finally listed.

I participated in Current Bounty, and the original plan was to issue a token in April!
Now in November, the telegraph group has been dissolved!
Due to the downturn in the market, the project's release plan has been postponed!

Bounty payment delayed is not new issue in crypto bounties campaign. There are a lot of possibilities why delayed such as unexpected market condition, country immediate banned crypto, and etc. Sometimes the management did not mean to delayed it just happened that something unusual. You know what is the most important is you will receive the payment one day.

There is so many project that always delay in term of distribution,but i think there is a reason specially the market price.we can always coordinate with the bounty manager regarding to the project and their plans.

There is no hope that you will be paid. Everything will depend on the success of the project. And in this market, no one will give any guarantees.

it is common knowledge that late tokens are distributed, some projects sometimes schedule the distribution of their tokens, we can see them from their road map. if they are still updated about their project, there is no need to worry. if there is no latest update from the project, forget it, and do another bounty project.

I think that many people understand that now bounty projects have to postpone their payments, because all this concerns the market situation, if the market goes up, the projects will definitely begin to pay all that they need again. I think people understand that.

I very much Hope to stabilize the cryptocurrency market and the very good development potential of ico companies and very promising projects. Of course, what is happening now does not provide real opportunities for development, but only investments will take a certain step in the right direction.

Bounty payments delay is not an issue. Some bounties are received very late almost when you have given up. It now depends on the project success, if by the time its paid its value is still high. Many times the value if the tokens worth is less. Many projects intentionally delay bounty payments now until the price is down before they pay.

And what will happen if the market rises and by the end of 2019 or 2020. How long will you wait for the bounty? for bounty delays, it's best to forget about it. If they give the reason for the market to fall down and wait, then surely it's just a scam

That's really not good just hope that those ICO are doing good in the market if it is a failed project, you will not likely to get your token or if you get it those coins do not have value at all, this is one of the sad reality in bounty hunting it's like a gamble you'll never know if it's a win or a lose.
