Bitcoin Forum

So I was in a telegram chat .... and I saw quite a lot of hunters bashing at btcltcdiger (Bounty manager at csbounty) .... because he said bounty hunting isn't a job... on my opinion.. I think he's right.. Bounty hunting shouldn't be considered as a job.. because

1: payment isn't guaranteed
2: bounty hunting is more of luck than skill
3: it could turn out too be a total waste of time at any moment
4: I don't know what country most bounty hunters are from.. but where I'm from.. I can't survive a week with just $100 bounty reward..

So why would people consider this as a job?? Too me it's more of a hobby than a job

What's your thought on this?? PLS NO INSULTS

It would have been better if the bounty manager, who has a telegram group with thousands of active members, never said that. It just reflects that if he does not treat bounties as a job, then he's probably not at all serious with the campaigns he manage. Some hunters take bounties seriously regardless if it is the main source of income or a part-time. 


- it depends on the campaign. There are those with escrows.

- How so? If this is related to number 1, then I have the same response

- it's no different than a regular job where you could get fired or get f*cked by your employer. Or it could turn out to be really worth it.

It could be considered because it is similar to other's people job .
We are promoting the project in bounty campaigns and we could compare it to the promo dicers they are also promoting their company's product.
The only difference is we are doing it on the internet and they are being paid while we are being SCAMMED 😂 .

I think it can be a part time job which will guide you for long term earnings. If you are looking for a quick earnings it will be not for you nowadays. If you believe in crypto one day you will gain good amount from bounty hunting.

Dont tend to make it as a regular job but rather this should be treated as a sideline job yet as being said the payments arent guaranteed and even
if you have been paid out by tokens you cant still be sure that those would really have some value later on which means making money isnt still an assurance.

Payment is isnt guaranteed

Bounty hunting nowadays would really need some luck for you to spot out good project but somehow skills on researching would have still the advantage.

Totally waste of time when projects become scam or wont pay you out.

Bounty hunters are worldwide and theres no statistics on where they do live most of them.

Yes, but don’t expect too much if you don’t work hard on this and also you have to understand that bounty hunting is not guaranteed and you cannot earn money everyday to support for your needs. Bounty hunters are suffering from a failed projects this might be the big risk if you depend on this.

I agree bounty hunting can not be classified as a job because in job there is a fixed  daily, weekly or monthly salary so bounty hunting is more like freelancing where anyone can promote as many projects as he can or need but yes reward payments are not guaranteed in bounty hunting due to multiple reasons like team not paying, reduction in reward, project failure, team division or clash with bounty manager etc i hope in future their will ne some service where bounty rewards will be guaranteed.

Of course for someone it is a hobby , for some it is the work , There are projects which are paid for with Ethereum and bitcoin , I think here luck is not particularly necessary , just to be able to look for these projects and good work !

It is possible for bounty hunting to replace your job but you should be ready to work hard in selecting good projects that can turn great in future.  I could remember a friend of mine that made around $8000 in a single bounty in 2017. You may need to be patience a bit as in future Cryptocoins promotions may become the future income.

even though he didn't say "bounty hunting isn't a job" I still think that bounty is just a hobby and a side job ... if we consider the bounty to be the main job, I can't possibly give my child and wife to eat every day :D

Many bounties now are scam so why you will consider bounty hunting is a job? I think he's right saying that, here in the forum it's mostly an incentive that you can partake if you want to. It's difficult for all of you to find the most legit bounty right now.


Lucky if you have found a legit one.

This is exactly my point.. I saw a guy who said he wanted to go marry a wife from he's bounty payment ... dunno if he's joking or not.. but it's just hilarious

Thank you very much for this answer.. you could put in your best in making a YouTube video for over 42hours only to get pizza payment  ;D :D

Agree with your points as bounty payouts are not consistent. Especially during the bear market many bounty
payments were delayed, postponed or even cancelled. Bounty hunting is more like a part time job, being rewarded
for doing advertising staff. It depends on the country where you leave as maybe in some countries you can live
from bounty hunting. If you are not selling your rewarded coins immediately and waiting for the market to recover,
maybe your rewards will be more valuable.

I'm just glad not everyone disagrees with me.. so too some.. it can be considered a full time job.. while others it's just a hobby or partime job

Yes bounty hunters should not blame managers for their losses. Bounty managers are also like us which hired to run the campaign. They are not part of the team so what ever happen, manager have not responsible of it. But on the other hander, i wish bounty manager dont accept project so easy, they have loyal bounty followers so better for them to hold their credibility of choosing payable campaign

This section I agree, there is nothing that guarantees payment on time and in accordance with the allocation that has been determined at the beginning. You can even get nothing when the campaign ends. (many)
This is not entirely true, because in making content requires ideas and expertise. for example blogs, yotube and bug searches.
except social media campaigns.
this is true, sometimes
Russia is a country that I often find in spreadsheets. but there are still many Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam.

In all honesty, what's the difference between your  day job and bounty hunting.. Your boss finds your work unsatisfactory and sacks you. You fail to meet certain heights and get retrenched..Or you could even be owed salaries for months and have to beg your employers for your pay like your life depends on it..
In all fairness, there is no difference between bounty hunting and any other job.. Same way it comes with certain levels of uncertainty.

No Bounty hunting should be a part time job, Crypto is really unpredictable so I wouldn't advice that it should  be a full time except except situation whereby there are paying your weekly not in token but FIAT

It can be termed as a job
Let’s call it a leisure job, where you take your free time to participate and earn

And bounty hunting is not about luck
But skill

You need to be capable of writing blogs and the same time doing signature coupled with telegram entries and social media to earn more than peanuts

I do bounty hunting not as a full time job but rather to add up to what I earn but still have some friends that are taking it as their job but it's a No from me

To me bounty hunting is a job. A job is any work you do in other to get money or valuable rewards in returns. And bounty hunter is not best done by just anyhow person, only those that are intelligent and wise can involve themself in crypto business. So technically bounty hunting is a job

It's much better to consider the bounty as your side job rather than your main job remember there was a lot of uncertainty in how much you will get from doing your bounty task dude.
Bounty is a job but it should be the side job.

Whether Bounty hunting is job or not. His duty is to pay them when they render services to him. Some of those hunters do not have job neither do they have active income nor passive income. To some it is job to them while others it not.

I consider it a job because it is something you do that you can get paid for. But bear in mind that it is not guaranteed, you either get paid or don't get paid. So I will consider it a part time job instead of a full time one.

Definitely, Bounty hunting should be seen as the easiest passive income investment. I this case instead of investing money, you invest some small portion of your time to earn passively. For me I don't see bounty hunting as a job because it does not have the characteristics to be qualified as a regular Job.


Bounty hunting is not a waste of time. When you spend all your time on a scam project without researching enough about it before joining  thus when it becomes  a waste of time and energy.

Yes it is as we are spending time with them, following the rules and promoting their projects. We should have to comply the said requirement in order to get paid and that's enough to consider as a job as well.
We can't have money in crypto if we don't do anything, by helping them to promote their projects will be a big help to spread crypto benefits and get paid as well. By making this way, we aren't just having money but we are also supporting crypto community to be known worldwide.

Right. Bounty hunting is still considered as a job because we still have to work for it and get paid.Anything that gives us an income is definitely a job. Although we may be scammed for some time but still we made profits from crypto hunting when the market was still in a good condition. So never be discouraged as this will be a big help also in spreading to the world about cryptocurrency.

I think yes

Because I have friends who are into bounty hunting 100%
Mthey make blogs, translate and even do video content

If you can fix your financial stress seamlessly then bounty hunting can be your full time job

Wow.. all of these responses.. I'm starting too regret not adding a pool too this thread.. well it's not too late for me too do that

This is not entirely true, because in making content requires ideas and expertise. for example blogs, yotube and bug searches.
except social media campaigns.

Just because a project is good doesn't guarantee a good bounty reward..  it all comes down too thesame thing LUCK and I wouldn't wanna live my life off luck.. I think this is just too risky

For now, I can't call it a job because it's really not suitable between work and the salary we get, here is also uncertain, we won't get much profit if we choose the wrong program. and many people have said that bounty is a side job

That is why btcltcdiger has a bad reputation because he did not consider it as a job for bounty hunters and he sometimes agrees not to pay them because he thought bounty hunters are doing it for hobby or for free, if this is his thinking he but as well offer hs service for free also

For me yes, its a job that requires patience and hardwork. Bounty hunting can be a part time job or a full time job. There are many jobs in bounty, joining several campaigns and the most profitable i think the video campaign and translation campaign because of few participants, also the signture canpaign.

although being a bounty hunter cannot be called a job but as a bounty hunter, they have a duty and also a rule that they have to do every day and of course it is called work because bounty hunters help promote their projects through various media. then from that respect their work and don't see it from the negative. It is natural that they demand results from the work they have done. because it was clear at the beginning of the allocation promised to them and I think they only demanded their rights.

bounty hunter for me is just an additional job.
because for sure we need daily personal needs, while the bounty hunter job is uncertain whether you are paid or not, so don't ever make bounty hunters your main job.

It is considered a job. You can do bounty hunting at any times, but you should not just join any project, learn to study the project you wanted to join, research every inportant matters because some of the bounty campaigns are unsuccessful, so if its bot successful you can not get any rewards from it, all your time and efforts would be just wasted, so choose a bounty project wisely.

It's all about picking the right project, I made a fortune when I picked the right project and rewarded handsomely, it's a job for me, I worked like a professional and delivered what was asked of me, it's actually much better than 8 to 5 job, it's worth of 5 months salary getting rewards from a right campaign.

Basically no, bounty hunting is cannot be considered a job unless people are hired by companies to manage not to just participate. When we see the context of job, people are gaining income because they are paid, but in bounty, not all are paying and not all are getting their money based on their work.

If people think it's not a job, then they can offer their service free, it's a job for me if it will not support my coffee I will not professional enough to post with substance, I will just spam topics because it's not a job and I don't expect payment.

If like that, how about bounty manager? That's job or hobbies, or freelance? Personally, I don't like his statement "bounty hunting isn't a job", come on Bounty hunter also do something and contribute in the project, although only share post.

And for your opinion "Bounty hunting shouldn't be considered as a job" because

Yes, payment isn't guaranteed but it's a risk. I bet people who not received payment never made a research before join and never following the project.
I think 40:60, skill is no 1, such made a research, create article, create original post. (except people who steal other content, I hate it). Lucky? Yes, if you join with all bounty in here maybe, from 100 bounty only 1 is good, try to luck..
Same with nomor 1, it's risk if only join and join without research and follow the development.
4. I can't make speculation about this, but personally 100$ in a week is high for me, try to be grateful, there's people who only received 5 dollar in a week, where? in my country..


Because hard to find a job in their country, then they're focus on bounty while looking for a real jobs. IMO

as main job ist too risky.moreover now much projects prefer held their ico in exchanges of we often call this as Initail Exchanges Offering.but if used as side job that will give us more money maybe this is correct.

Or worst the payment you'll receive has no value, as in zero worth.

It is still considered a job to me since you get paid to do it and you spend your time doing it. But you cannot consider it as a professional job nor list it on your resume when you apply for a job in the corporate world. Whether it is a job or not, it is only a label. It should not affect the bounty hunters as long as they do their work and they are happy in what they are doing.

It depends on this bounty itself, if you joined scam bounty of course you'll be never paid

disagree, back to point 1. If you have a skill then joined a legit bounty you can earn more

Yes, if you joined the scam bounty

it's WORLDWIDE. I told you don't just join only one type of bounty |(ex: only social media), try another one like the article, video, etc...

It's a big no, because bounty the income is not daily or monthly. Usually they wait more than 3 months before they got the token and another few months before the coin become tradable to the bitcoin or to dollars.  The saddest part of that is high chance that you will get your reward once the project is scam or failed. Bounty is perfect combination those have job and wants to have extra income.

Back in 2017, bounty hunting was more than a job for poor countries. Earning $1k+ per month was possible in 2017 but now it has turned into shit. Anyway, it can never be a job. It should be a part time work. By the way, btcltcdigger is one of the worst campaign manager because he works with shit coins.

For me, I also considered that bounty hunting isn't a job. I agree with the statements that you had stated proving that bounty isn't a job. I think it's just only a sideline to earn extra money if we got something from the bounties we had participated. But I don't think that bounty hunting is more luck than skill, because there are types of bounties that requires our knowledge, editing skills, comprehensions, and our ideas.

personally i didnt want to judge bounty manager.but however we have to appriciate them about their work.and if suddenly their projects being shitcoins or even scam its developers team fault.maybe much people hope 2017 moment could repeated now.

I think bounty hunting considered a job because if we seroius in this work and do it properly with full faith you no need to do the job because only this work full all your dreams with lot of money in this field after sale the coins in the market.

Yep, bounty hunter can be considered as a  part time job or its a somewhat kind of freelance job. If you would rather saying if its  ajob then its a problem lol.

I does not agree, bounty hunting can be a job i does not know how most people choose the bounty to participate in but i do know of some friennds that only participate in selected bounties after research and it indeed turn out well and fetch them some nice profits on and off.

If this is a hobby, of course, you are very lucky because your hobby can make money. I think everyone has a very different opinion. But whatever you think, I think it's very worthy to continue fighting for because it gives us an advantage.

This is the biggest concern for people who is joining for the bounty that whether the coin which will be listed or not firstly ad secondly once it gets listed will it have any value in the market or will it fall flat and will never recover and people will lose their money.

I think yeah it can be consider as a job, I mean you spend your time to promote the project and you being paid with token, but its more suitable to be called as side job because you almost can't make  a living with bounty, bounty hunters now is a struggling job because the payment is low, its a long wait and most of the time is a scam

My opinion is if you spend time on something you will get a reward , then i consider it as a job . There is alot of people who do it full time , like creating articles , youtube videos and so on . Not sure how many you can earn like that , but if people do it then probably you can live on it . I would really like to do it full time as crypto is one of the hobbies of mine

I do not think it is just a hobby than a job. Why people waste their time in it just for nothing? There maybe just a few percent of the bounty hunters who are doing it just as a hobby. But a large number are taking it as a source of income. I have heard that some bounty hunters are full timer. They have engaged in it after quitting their job. Yes you are right luck will play out in the sector. Bounty hunting will make you riches in a short period of time if you have luck. Imaging you get some 5000 tokens and they reach $100. How much money you would earn in a short period of time? And that is not impossible.

   You are right, more time and energy you invest, on higher reward you can count on. I think bounty hunting can be a job, if you are manager of the project, if you are
experienced in programming you can be part of the team, there are so many things someone can do and earn nice amount of money.
   Hobby or real job depends from individuals, there are always some good projects and depending of the set of skills someone can be paid in BTC or ETH, point is if you
are good someone will find a way to pay you in what you want.

Last two years maybe you can make bounty campaign s your considered job because have higher payment and almost all of coins could sell with higher price, but today still have chance just little payment with lower price coins after listing on market.

It completely depends upon the campaign you choose because if you manage to hold them for more than six months, then you will see the results of the coin. In the current situation of the ICO's, it is very hard to find a potential company which has an active team for the developments.
