It is no news that rewards of bounty campaigns are getting lesser by each passing day. Many still feel that the reward will increase when bull run come but i doubt if there will be any changes to the reward because developers and teams have now adopt the less reward as a strategy to protect the price of their token. Many bounty hunters are crying everyday for a better reward which will not likely come. I see bounty rewards more as a privilege than a right. Many at times if the token has been listed before the reward was given out,there may even be a reduction especially when the token is doing well in the market. The question to my fellow hunters is that, why cry over spill milk? when you can actually produce as much as you want. Do you know you can make much more than your bounty rewards trading some of those token you have promoted. I have made nothing less than 300% of my bounty rewards trading some of the tokens i have promoted,one of such token is Vanta (VNT). I made 500% of the money i invested participating in vanta trading competition on Allbit for 34 days which is 2000% of the bounty reward that i was given,why many were complaining of the bounty rewards,i was smiling to my portfolio. Why limit yourself to bounty rewards when there are other areas you can explore. The more you waste your time crying over bounty rewards the more you will be blind to other opportunities around the project. As bounty hunter my advice is
      1).Take time to monitor closely the progress of the project you are promoting to see other opportunity apart from the bounty reward
      2).Be ready to invest when opportunity present itself.

With the number of bounty hunters increasing by the day,the reward is more likely to reduce than to increase. The earlier will accept that and move on the better for everyone of us. We should understand that, crying for unrealistic rewards can make developers and teams to promised unrealistic rewards.

I think you are not far from the truth.With my little experience here,it is better to seek more opportunity than just waiting on bounty reward which may never meet our need.

Bounty rewards died in 2018. I don't think those crazy thousands of dollar rewards will ever happen again, like they did in 2017. The market is getting smarter and no one wanna pay hundreds or thousands dollars for spamming in Twitter, the profit of which is zero. Only quality content will be rewarded.

I agree there is no bounty rewards anymore. I think we have to learn how can earn something here anymore.

Even there was a lot of scammers that will not pay the hunters. Basically, in this time we must be selective by choosing the campaign. I still get reward from various bounties. It's not dead but we must do a lot of research to any of bounty campaign in this time.

I agree with you, as the time passes the teams/developers of the project learns from the past mistakes of other projects giving lesser and lesser rewards in the bounty campaigns because they dont want their token to get dumped once it hits the exchanges. But my advice for now is join bounties that are promising projects only, you get lesser reward but the inflation of the token/coin once it becomes successful is massive.

Q1 of 2018 marked the end of bountiful bounties reward thereafter there wasn't any worthy rewards for hunters partly due to bearish market and more scam ICOs entering the market, however I absolutely agreed with the OP to divert our attention to trading ie buying of  coins with good project at lower price and selling high thus making a better rewards of course this requires thorough research because of thousands of Cryptos in the market obviously this is better than hunting worthless tokens

True words but it is also no rumour that participating in bounty projects are a risk
There are terms associated to bounties that we need to be wary of

If you are okay with the risks; go for it
If not; find suitable bounties

You should understand that we only participate in bonus campaigns to receive a small reward for free time. Don't try to stick and focus on bonuses, it can't help you get a stable income. If you spend all your time on the bonus, the result you will receive is a waste of time.

The best way is that you should increase your knowledge about trading, about the crypto market, it will help you a lot.

I hate to agree but it seem's to be true it is also how I feel.
Most of the bounty back in 2017 really pays a good amount unlike bounties back in 2018 most of them are really worthless.

I am glad for your success. I constantly tell my friends to trade the coins they have. I always make some money by trading coins for participating in bounty campaigns.

the rewards they were giving to their bounty hunter slaves have never been good from the beginning if you consider the value of the time they were wasting to advertise all of these scam projects. of course if you don't value your time then it was good!
otherwise the only case where a bounty hunter could make a decent amount was if he got lucky and that shittoken got pumped right after he could dump his coin and only if they dumped it on time otherwise if (like 90% of them) fell for the scam and held on to that shittoken they lost all of their money.

last year i love this job now, i hate this job, because developers always change the rules and give less payment than the agreement.
at this time I prefer to trade rather than following the bounty campaign.

So now you know that bounty rewards are not that satisfying, unlike the previous years. What are your alternatives to earn aside from bounty campaigns? You should consider doing other things without depending on bounties. There are lots of opportunities here in this forum that would benefit you and make you earn decent amounts other than doing bounty campaigns.

all must be reviewed before joining the bounty program even though the market compared to last year was cheap, I still maintain a job at bitcointalk by hunting bounty and can generate a decent income, even though not as much as before.  everything takes time and hold tokens from paid bounties

I agree with author's words ,just sit and wait it makes no sense,and just keep earned coins.You need to learn to trade(although the bounty, I would not throw).Certainly not always be such a success as the author(I can only congratulate with earnings),but the profit will be.

Yeah agree on you, i earned many coins by joining to their bounty, they told me to hold the coin so if the market recovers a my coin will be valuable, but after all they are the one who sell their own coin. If i already knew trading before, i would totally earn a lot of money right now.

For me it doesnt matter since most of the time, We are not sure if the Bounty we just promoted will reach its softcap or maybe hardcap for us to be paid for me the more important is the detail of the project that we are promoted, I dont care if its less reward the more important for me is in the end we will be getting paid. and i hold it if i sense that the project has a total package and true usecase of utilization, while in trading im do it sometimes unlike before 2017-2018 im very active in Trading on Binance and i earned some profit out of it. But today thing has change thats why im halted it for a while.

everyone has their own way of responding to the bounty, there are those who are just waiting for rewards, some are involved in investing, and some are investing from the results of the reward bounty. which one do you want to be? actually the best is to join the bounty and also invest, but I chose the third method, because it is a slightly safe step.

Indeed bounty rewards worth almost nothing now, and also there is a problem and some on them not pay some rewards because they even didn't sell coins and make target before share rewards to users who join bounties.

The era of big rewards in bounty campaign is gone and we must understand that,it is time to take advantage of good project by investing to earn good profit.

It's true that bounty reward is lessening becaude of the increase in participants. However, I welcome the increase in participanta because it actually is increasing the people participating in the cryptocurrency market which is a good sign for us.

Honestly speaking, I just boarded on the bounty train. To be precise only availed 2 bounties so far. Your post is a kinda torchbearer and yes its better to look for new ventures rather be a pure bounty hunter. Bounties are a good incentive and it should be available by and large. Population increase eat the rewards :)

Yes bounty rewards sre getting smaller and that is ok to me but when the team makes fake promises and lame excuses or does not simply pay the rewards to genuine promoters it really hurts and we do not have any third party to complain or claim our reward which leaves bounty hunters helpless in such situations.

As the number of bounty hunters increases, older members get more money making opportunities because they can participate in exclusive campaigns for a fee. The same happened to those people who got high ranks on this forum before the beginning of the growth of the price of Bitcoin in 2017.

I have never received great rewards for social networks. Only for creating quality articles on blogs. Reposts and retweets in social networks are really easy work, respectively, we get a small reward.

Bounty hunters becoming investors or traders is not something new.

Don't laugh at other hunters complaining about rewards they duly earned. What happened to them might also happen to you.

Nice to see an optimistic person here that doesn't stay and cry for everything bad that is happening with bounties and ICOs. That's the attitude we should all have in order to achieve what we want because you are not going to resolve anything if you stay here and talk about how bad bounties are paying you and how many scams there are on the market. It's though to make money in such a market but it seems like it's possible and if someone else could do it you can also 100% do the same.

As a rule, I only participate in bounty campaigns for projects in which I invest. It helps me not to spend a lot of time studying different projects for different purposes. And so I find a promising project for a bounty campaign and for investment.

That good day is gone and we need to accept this fact first. There is no need to hire a bounty hunter to promote the project on social media and crypto related forums. Rewards will be much lower than current days.

Thats the mindset and the spirit not like on just regretting and whining that you do lose up money. Stand up and move on and learn from those mistakes being optimistic isnt really that
bad but you should always tagged it up with hard work and pure research.If not then you are just basically wasting up your effort and money. Less rewards or no rewards at all is possible or on high chances
with this industry.

In order to increase your earnings in the bounty campaigns, you need to engage in those activities where there is the least competition and therefore you can earn good money. Developers of new projects pay well for translation, as well as for video reviews.

This is a transition where a bounty hunter could level up. It is but normal for a newbie to get bitcoin for free as his knowledge is limited but the more education on crypto he got, he would realized that getting free btc is not the way though there are some exceptions i.e. legit bounty campaigns and direct btc paying campaigns. 

I am agree. With more modification in ICO become IEO, many project not need allocating marketing budget and its handle by exchanger. This transition will make bounty hunters level up because they will choosing legit project and more watch the project before join in the bounty

I wonder why there are some members here that is in to the bounty campaign industry. Because I, myself learned allot of lesson in 2018, that bounty hunting isn't effective anymore, we could think of the fact that, many projects mostly anonymous, are just taking advantage of free works that hunters offers.

There are bounties that are huge allocations because of their project's supply but I believe that when the supply of a project is low their tokens have projects because the bounty is small in supply or allocation in the bounty but the price is expensive token there are these situations and there are just a bounty that is big enough but when you listed the exchangers immediately drop the price because of the bounty hunter they dump the price so the other bounty do is just small allocation to a bounty because the founder wants to protect the ico price once the price of their tokens is exchanger so small is allocated to the bounty, especially the bounty that is very hard to find especially the bounty scam and poor scams I'm looking for legit bounty because it's just a little bit outThere are bounties that are huge allocations because of their project's supply but I believe that when the supply of a project is low their tokens have projects because the bounty is small in supply or allocation in the bounty but the price is expensive token there are these situations and there are just a bounty that is big enough but when you listed the exchangers immediately drop the price because of the bounty hunter they dump the price so the other bounty do is just small allocation to a bounty because the founder wants to protect the ico price once the price of their tokens is exchanger so small is allocated to the bounty, especially the bounty that is very hard to find especially the bounty scam and poor scams try to get the legit bounty because it's just a bit of legit.

I do not think that. developers need to promote their ico. Those sharing on twitter or facebook will help ico know more. And you say quality articles. The development team spends a greater amount of rewards for writing articles and they closely scrutinize those articles.

At first, I don’t think the main reason why rewards are being reduces is to protect them from dumping it, because that is the only reason they can give for protecting the price and it is glaring that bounty hunter are not the problems of project when dump, they should work more on how they can prevent the investors for doing so.

Secondly, the main reason is what you have stated in the last part, we have so many bounty hunters now unlike before, and since these projects already have an allocation for this, they cannot go beyond what has been budgeted, so they have to share it among all these hunters.

I agree with you that we need to start exploring other opportunities available in the market, rather than relying of bounty hunting, a lot of people are really done well in this crypto without participating in bounty, which we can learn to follow their direction too.

Just like we are having lesser campaigns because of investors that are no longer picking interest in ICO projects because of scam that has made the ICO a rotten one. Many ICO that has even tried to establish one ended up not meeting their soft target which they have to refund the funds gotten back to investors, and we don’t expect to get reward for an ICO that is not successful.

Then only hope I am seeing now for hunters is if we can explore the opportunities in IEO, since IEO is gaining the attention of investors,  very soon, IEO will still employ the service of hunters in promoting the project of choice because of the numbers of IEO projects we will have in future.

As real campaigns switch to ieo offerings there is less demand for bounty hunters to promote the coin. Only ones left are the scams and shitcoins, unless you are really lucky and find that hidden gem

Gone are the days when you can earn thousands of dollars promoting projects things have change totally now you have to go extra miles to achieve reasonable rewards from bounties unless the glorious days like 2017 bull returns

Not true, ico don't get huge promotion from facebook and twitter, not even more than 1% which I think don't even worth the bounty rewards allocation for this two campaign. The allocation should be lower for facebook and twitter campaign.

What the OP says is time consuming. If a bounty hunter does not use all the time for crypto, but only as an additional income, then he does not have time to trade, contests and the like. For more, just not the time. Being a full-time bounty hunter is very risky now. Thus, many participate in bounty campaigns for a few hours/day and then sell rewards, if any.

The reward might increase when the bull run approaches and also the scam, casualties and so on might also increase. We are having serious down turns of bounties project but my view is even if they start coming up again there should be a criteria to be able to organise a bounty campaign

I have participated in many bounty and sometimes I do believe that one project that reward you can cover all the effort that was not rewarded in the past and that is what really happened to me in early 2018! I promoted this tokens called "united trader" and the rewards I got from this tokens makes me to forgot all the projects that I participated in and some of them turned to scam and some are now become valueless.  I will say to get a good reward you have to look and do good research on the bounty you want to participate as many of them out there are going to disappointing you as some have disappointed me.

You're saying the obvious truth. Bounty earning nowadays is damn too small and the premium place on bounty hunters is reducing everyday and I think we don't need to put more into it. Some projects will still delay the time of distribution which is not always in favor of bounty hunters.

with the new points system merit, the number of high-ranking bounty hunters is unlikely to increase, all we need to do is pay a little more attention and choose only those projects that really have some chance of success

Bounties are really not a privilege since bounty hunters expend resources to promote a campaign. The value of reward obviously has reduced significantly as there is less money in the space generally. Things may improve as the market pick up some bullish momentum.

I dont see that quantaty of bounty hunters increasing, but rewards is really not good, but it touchs not all projects, it is still possible to find good projects, waiting for growing market - everything will change

Bounty hunting was one of the perfect job in 2016 and 2017, i made great ammount of Money with bounties, quit my job, started to work at home and i was getting richer.. Unfortunately everything turned in very bad ways and 2018 we had crush in the cryptocurrency market and ICO's.. If you check today there is no bounty program i would join, usually they never reach the caps, also if they reach the cap their coins would worth just nothing. Bounty hunting work officially finished.. It is very sad bad it is true..

I guess those who cry abounty bounty payment are those doing it for a living. The moment you start promoting a project means you trust them to deliver, many at time these tokens we receive from bounty drops way low which can be as an opportunity to buy more and a expect the price to recover. It does matter how long it's going take, just be patient.

Lets stop chasing after those ICO bounties. Yeah, the rewards are less or reducing because the rewards are limited but the amount of people will to take those bounty programs are very high compared to the rewards. Thus, the developers decided to reduce the rewards per person as this will help them spend the same amount but this them they will have more people to advertise for them. If everyone stops accepting those low payments, they will be bound to give more rewards to the people.
Trust me, spend your time doing something else. You will earn better.

Participating n bounty should be an eye opener. It can help you to know the good projects from those that are not good or outright scam. Although this is mainly for those who can truly decern properly.
Get it right and use the opportunity to venture into trading.

Yes, it's right. In fact, what happens is the opposite, because there are so many accounts that have ranks being permanently banned. What the OP says is true, the rewards presented is small. Indeed, there were those who gave so many reward, up to 10 million usd in the form of tokens, but the project look so unclear.

The  bounty rewards are less but there are plenty other opportunities to increase your number of tokens as you suggested by trading or by investing and buying cheap from the dumpers etc.

indeed there is no point in crying over unrealistic rewards from the bounty, many people believe that bullrun will change the future of the bounty to be more profitable, but in fact it does not necessarily happen, rather than crying over the results of bounties it is better to trade from the bounties that have been followed so that we can profit from the trade

Buying cheap is one of the easiest things to do. If you do believe that token has real potential, wait for the dumpers and you can get that dirty cheap as compared to their ICO prices. You just need to look out for promising projects.

A bounty hunter should not regret joining a certain project because he has all the time to think about it before joining. No one is forced to join in their campaign. And because there are hunters who just signed up easily, many projects are taking that advantage. It is the bounty hunter's responsibility on whatever he will encounter on this project.

Developers still spend money in promoting on these media means but not as it used to be back then in 2017 like he said, and because of the present market situation as regards scams going on in ICO, the social media is becoming less effective tool in promoting these ICOs because many viewer simply ignore anything that has to do with ICO.

The means of promoting it is not the issue, but the content of what is being promoted is what becomes less interesting, as people no longer want take the risk involved in ICO, the only hope I have for bounty hunting is that IEO see a chance that will make it necessary to engage the services of Bounty hunters.

It was early 2018, but the scenerio has changed a lot. You can't say holding is a good strategy for token rewards from bounty campaign. I too think that one good result cam really give a lot of profit.

I always thought that you should deep investigate each project before taking part in it. Even if this coin dumps after the first exchange listing, you can buy some coins to make huge profit in the future, great post by the way.

To be honest, the number of hunters has become much smaller, and now very often you can get good rewards, especially if you make more effort.

Yeah bounty system should be renew, or maybe the ICO system.
Investors is too few to invest in ICOs right now because it's not hyped anymore and the ICOs era is over.
So, something else should be made so bounty hunters can do their job with a good paying reward

On my experienced, there are some ico on which I had joined since last year and ended up after 4 months, and until now the token distribution is not yet done, even updates they're not giving it. And some are always says that after the end of the ico, they are finishing some thing for the better of the development of their project, but for what they are doing was they not honest. SO most of the bounty hunter are just ignoring it and find another bounties. That's the saddest thing happened and disadvantage for the bounty hunters.

If anyone thinks that there will be a change for better to the price of bounty rewards then he or she is joking because it will continue to reduce.

The lower allocation and scam projects existed in the last year are also the reason why less reward on bounty campaign. I don't think amount of bounty hunters give significant negative effect on the reward. However, campaign managers can be more selective to accept participants to make everyone happy.

I have thought for quite some time now, that bounty will soon go into extinction if care is not taken.
Bounty hunters are growing day by day. Sometimes, participating in airdrop is even more profitable than some bounty.
There are other aspects one can learn. Search and learn about them.

I believe that the reward is getting lesser because we are having much more people coming Into the space, this way bounty managers can give little reward to people and they have no choice than to take it that way, but one of the frustrating thing about some bounty is that after carrying out so much task for them,  you end up not being paid which is so bad since you've wasted a lot of time already in promotion.

I have basically holding too much of the coin that you are pertaining to, they are quite promising in the first place, also got their hard cap as well. And though that, after it gets listed, there's no improvement as I can see, even the market gets good and stable, their market price isn't improving. I think that would be not advisable if I am going to be asked?

in fact, I see the number of participants for bounty hunters currently decreasing and not as interesting as in the previous year.
You can see and monitor it in many campaigns and compare it with the percentages in the previous year.
but I agree if the current situation is so unfavorable for any campaign, most of the results of the token after entering the exchange will decrease by 90%. and clearly this is detrimental to all aspects including investors.

The main reason is the bear market, though lots of people were coming but it should not affect the reward as ICO will also increase in numbers giving more opportunity for the bounty hunters. What they are complaining now is the market situation where they cannot sell at an ICO price.

Its alright to have less reward, but please the bounty will pay it. Bounty is just for the advertising while gaining knowledge here in the forum. Not totally the main way to get money. So dont loss faith for it, as long as there are projects that needs our support then join, we are making crypto much bigger and bigger

agree, therefore there are many people who say bounties is not a job that will get good and consistent income. whatever value they pay and as long as they make payments on time and transparently, that's where crypto will grow better and grow bigger over time

Now participating in the bounty it is impossible to earn big money ... times when the bounty participants received several thousand dollars a year have passed.

Bounty hunting is not profitable as how it was before.
I was able to earn sone decent money before, but after the bull market, a lot of scam ICOs popped-out and majority of them failed to reach even their soft cap.

There's just slim chance for bounty hunters today to gain profit from bounty hunting. Better to find alternatives to earn.

Take note that as the number of bounty hunters increases time to time, there are some bounty hunters who are quitting being a bounty hunter because they realize that its not profitable for them to become a bounty hunter.

If you are joining only on social media campaign then the reward will be lesser because there are no limit in joining in that campaign . Now if you join in translation campaign where the distribution is lower because the will be lesser users to divide, then you will get more reward. To be honest, most of the campaigns that I got rewarded came from translation campaign. I sold my tokens I got from translation campaign and got a profit :). Try to be a translator and you will get more reward compare to social media or content creation.

It is true that the number of bounty hunters is increasing and the number of projects launching coins is decreasing. So obviously the amount of allocation a bounty hunter is entitled to is surely less. But the whole amount of bounty rewards allocations is the same. It is not that a project will determine the amount of token allocation based on the number of participants. It is essential for a bounty hunter to review a project before supporting it.

Currently there are really very few projects and their number is decreasing. On projects that exist it is impossible to earn good money. It is likely that in the future, ICO projects in general will cease to appear.

bounty rewards are irrespective of the season whether bull or bear , but what has been happening is project avoiding payments. there are some opportunity that we need to look into like you said especially the trading aspect where we can make some cool money apart from promoting a project. another opportunity is to buy a token at a low price and sell when its high.

Its not on previous year but we are mostly talking here on years 2016-2017 where bounty campaign is still considerable to join on yet we have seen huge success on most project on that time
but those good old days is over and now the market has plummeted together with ICO hype which most of projects now are completely trash thats why its not surprising
that bounty hunters will get lesser reward or wont able to gain even 1 token if project goes scam if not then they might received worthless tokens.

There are different opportunities to earn tokens and make profit from them. Bounty hunting is one of it. it is true that some bounties are less rewarding or not paying at all, this is why we have to adopt to the situation and find alternative ways of earning.

Indeed this bounty reward can be manipulated. It's true what you say that bounty reward can be reduced more if the tokens they offer have a good price on the market. I rate this unfairly. As a bounty campaign hunter, then we should get what is our right. Our bounty reward are reduced because there are parties who don't like it if we get large profits. But believe me, if someone takes what is our right then one day he will get a reply and we will get far greater rights.

I think you're very much mistaken. Many bounty hunters have to wait a long time to see and feel their reward. This is all due to the fact that many bounty projects become frozen or cease their activities. It's a shame that after 3 months of work the person receives the candy wrappers and can't do anything with them. You are lucky that you were able to dispose of your coins because your coins quickly entered the listing on exchange.

We can't do anything we are just joining in their campaign to get some reward and we are all know that not all bounty campaign is legit some of them are scam but even if you make research on it or how good the project is it if it will became failed we can't do anything for it it will return to scam project and failed and some of them are run the funds.

It is not irrespective, there is a link between market season and bounty campaigns. Ongoing bounty campaigns are offering fewer rewards because of the bear market which makes it hard to collect good amounts in the token sale.

we can do a lot if we unite. there is too many people who participate in bounty campaigns . and we can create a very bad reputation for any project or any person. We are strong if we are together

Of course, trading the coins you received while participating in the bounty program is very good, plus you can get a big profit. I am glad for you that you got a profit of 2000%. But you need to invest in projects very carefully. Now there are very few such projects.

Many coins are listed, but not all campaign bounty pay bounty hunters tokens after listing. many people simply do not have time to sell their awards, because at the time of distribution the price is at the bottom

Less reward in bounty is getting too much this days, many projects are coming up with bounty and airdrop in which at the end, what they distribute to hunters will later worth shit in exchange.

While this appears the way to go, it may not be the best for everyone, a lot of persons have gotten burnt trying to trade some altcoins for quick profit, it is not every trade that returns profit. One have to be overtly smart to know when to enter and get out, a lot also depends on luck. Just trade with what you can lose

I really do second your idea of gaining more rewards outside the bounty reward. That has always been my secret in bounty hunting. Sometimes with some project, you get more following what the project is doing more than what you receive from the bounty. Typical example is the Hubrisone bounty, what I earned from just voting was more than what I had from the bounty campaign. This is a good source of information to the newbies out there.

It will be necessary to deal with these issues. Wash like I voted for one project. I do not remember whether I received a profit of 2000% I think not. Thank you for sharing, I will study this issue.

It will be very hard for other hunters to do what you are doing for the reason that a lot of them is not that good/ don't have any experience with it. And also, as time goes by, the rewards are being decrease because there will be more participants and the rewards will be divided to the number of it.

Of course, this is true since the demand for a bounty company has been very high lately and this contributes to the cause of a small reward for a bounty company and I believe that this problem should be solved at the project level.

Now interest in participating in bounty campaigns has fallen. I can see that now there are fewer participants in spreadsheets in signature companies. so I think now is a good time to participate

That's right, the gifts we get are not in accordance with our hard work during the campaign. And most ico end up scam, we don't pay it either. I prefer trading only, although it has few advantages. Because it doesn't need to work hard.

To know the fact that there is huge increase in numbers of bounty hunters but the rewards is also at the same level and sometimes it decreases into some percentage. It also means that people would preferred to be in online jobs rather than to be at field or office works.

There is actually nothing to solve but only for the bounty participants concerns is to give of what they promise to the promoters and not just a lie.

I missed 2017, this was the time that you can make thousands of dollars in the bounty campaign, but now even if you are rewarded thousands of dollars in their token, that's not a guaranty, that you will actually get that reward, one, because of the absent of buy order, and two, coins failed to enter the market.

But how to choose an ICO project that can enter the market fast and have good prices?
Everyone cannot predict the price of tokens because all of that returns to the theory of "supply and demand", especially the token that is a new market listing. but there is still a real way through total supplay counts, tokens sold, tokens for team and project development and MPV. if you are good at calculating, you can see the prospect of the price of the ideal token or to do pumd and dump. Furthermore, ICO tokens to enter the market certainly have a price that is not cheap, especially through paid voting.

That is true because I am one of those people who believe that bullrun will have a good impact on the bounty and I think that makes sense because if bullrun comes then investor interest in crypto will increase so that there will not be many projects that fail due to lack of funds and certainly it will have a good impact on the bounty because when there are many successful projects, there will be many successful and profitable bounties

That’s the basis and the order of the day
I have even gotten accustomed to getting slashed stakes amongst others in bounty hunting


Let’s hope bounty managers can always get us good terms

indeed there is no guarantee that the bull run will affect the prize of the bounty, whether it is from the exchange rate or the amount. but with the arrival of bull run, at least the bounty will be quicker to distribute and launch because they have no reason to hold it back.

I think the less amount of rewards of bounty campaigns started on the year 2018 where the market became lame and slow. I hope that bount projects takes an improvement so that many crypto enthusiast would benefit from it.

I agree with you, now that bounty hunters really go down, because a lot of projects are scamming and they pay too little, but I am not discouraged, and I choose the way you are doing a gift and trade project.

I agree that bounty hunters rewards are decreasing day by day, not only the developers are decreasing the reward but the competition between new coins and the sudden dumping by the investors really makes the bounty hunter got difficulty to earn a living, investing in ICO like op said need to have knowledge, not all people will be lucky to make profit by investing in ICO coin

I think its because many ICOs scam and hunters dont get the payment. Beside that, many project need more time to get listed in exchanger. Its getting harder but i think its worth if we doing campaign on legit project

Such a good advice. We can not control bounty hunter's beliefs. If your experienced is good and you learn some profitable actions like that of trading competitions you have mentioned then it is better to follow your steps than to wait for the unsure token rewards. Hope every bounty hunters will realize that they can still benefit with what they already have.

nowadays many people know about crypto, and most of them wasnt investor, they are a bounty hunters who help promoted some bounty project ICO, of course it making rewards got less, for example some bounty campaign total rewards is 500k$, and total participant of that bounty is 10k hunters, so rewards is 50$ only, but it depend on what kind of campaign you join, if you join on social media campaign, it sure less payment.

Exactly, back in late 2017, it was possible to get thousands of dollar from a single campaign. That day, there was less participants than now and higher coin per stake. Moreover the market condition was also better than now.

We shouldn't rely on single source of income in the first place because nothing last forever,I don't see bounty hunting as a reliable source ,its about try your luck now ,this is why I hunt for airdrops too but I don't know how to trade yet

I totally agree with you. I think that now you should not count on too great rewards. You need to look for good projects and look for an opportunity to earn extra money on them.

I think there are many good opportunities to make money, so we must be able to use it well. The more bounty hunters participating in the project, of course, our results are also reduced. But there are still many good projects to follow, so you don't give up easily. Because to make money you can trade and follow Airdrop.

Going for good projects with amazing working product and well organised team pays more than going for huge amount of coins that you may never receive after all your efforts. As for now bounty work is what do just to get a start up funds to do something more profitable in the cryptosystem such as trading. Am not criticizing bounty work as there are still many projects out there that worth your time.

bounty reward will decrease cause of project fund, sometimes on bounty program they will give 1M USD to bounty hunters, but when they rn their project, they only collect 800K, so, how much reward will shared to bounty hunter?

Not all bounty rewards are less. You could still stumble on one that might look shitty and realize the real reward after the bounty period. The problem is that some hunters do not check well, or will I say reasearch well before joining a bounty.

Bad project research is a problem not only for bounty hunters but also for investors. very few people really spend time studying the project

Bounty rewards amount varies from project to project, some projects are still offering good number for tokens for promoting their project. I received 168000 HBRS to bear their signature and I think this reward is not less, if I come to ICO price calculation then its comes around $5000. The biggest problem is the price of any ICO is not moving up rather its dumping like anything, so the bounty rewards carry very less value. Although some project has reduced bounty rewards to protect their token price but I think its not working. Prices of new projects still dumping even when bounty rewards are not distributed. We should patiently wait for the next bull run in this scenario.

Now market is more mature and secure than 2017/2018 so the project also give rewards during ICO to bounty hunters with great check and quality. There are alot of bounty programs just need some search and selection, Bounty is still alive.

Bounty rewards now is somethings else. Shit reward for projects. Imagine 3month work will just give Some1 3$. Imagine the stress the data wasted. Some project will not even pay and run away with hunters money.shit project shit reward everyday. Only if you work with good bounty and make better cash with the project.

We must do in-depth research on the project to get a good project.
we must be aware that in the Bounty the risk is so great that we also have to build awareness that we are still lucky because there are many people who get nothing.

I do not believe that reducing the bounty rewards will make them more secured and protected from scam, the bounty pool does not meat anything about the success of a particular project, you just need to find legit ICOs.

Many projects are just scam. It is very difficult to find a really good project. They pay little or nothing at all for bounty. In 2017 it was possible to earn money. In 2018-2019 there is no profit. I hope that the situation will change.

Over the past year, the rewards have really decreased in volume. However, I do not quite agree that the good times with great payouts have already irrevocably gone. The situation is constantly changing. We also see that the bounty hunters in this forum have become much smaller. Even though the number of ICO projects has also become smaller, a very large number of participants in signature campaigns are very rarely collected by projects. The situation may change again for the better, when the states will regulate the activities of the ICO and the level of fraud among such projects will drop sharply.

The more popular the participation in bounty is, the less rewards participants receive. This is not surprising since many projects do not want to spend a lot of money on bounty.

One thing we seem not to understand is we will never get it like the previous years where you could get assets from bounty rewards. With the current number of new members and the direction projects are going, it will really take time for things to stabilize. Is either we conform or explore other options as you said.

you are right, because the more participants who join the campaign, the less they will get. but there are also a number of campaigns that limit the participants, and such campaigns that we deserve to examine further, because there is a possibility if the project succeeds the results obtained for bounty participants can also be maximized.

I agree that if you want to earn a bounty hunter will develop in different directions without limiting yourself with awards for the bounty of the company.  The fact is that you need a fairly good experience, and beginners with this difficulty.  The choice of quality projects, the implementation of more complex tasks such as (translation, video, articles) and competent management of awards will lead to an increase in profits.

and again I see a bounty that reduces the allocation for participants who have joined for a long time and I think everyone has to look for every opportunity that exists to make more money by investing, never expect a lot of bounties because the bounty is now changing rules and ignores bounty hunter

But hey, you should proud because such reason can't stop you doing campaign, even at this time you still did it. Everyone for now also experience it and still hope for the best project. After all, you should certainly know that the best doesn't come often

...and lead to a more reliable way to make money in a crypto environment. That is, if the bounty hunter looks to the future, then no problems with the fact that the rewards decrease.

You are quite right, the bounty reward is getting lesser by each day. As a hunter I use to write only article and I know how much each accepted article fetches me but with the current reward I have to maximize my effort by running both social media and others

i used to do just articles before now and i get paid as much as few thousands of dollars and now the case is entirely different, owing to the current market price of bitcoin and also the low investment gotten from both ICOs and IEO so what i do now is to compliment my tasks by adding other forms of campaign and doing multiple programs to compliment the ones i already run just in case they do not turn out the way i expect, one can cover for the other.

As the projects were able to raise a lot of funds in 2017, the bounty payments of these projects were also profitable. Now  find it normal to see that the rewards are low, as there is not enough funding for projects to give more rewards. Nevertheless, we must continue to work to find a good bounty project, because it can be chance of valuable of tokens in a future bull.

keep doing it without giving up because I'm sure there will be a project that is really good and can be profitable so we have to look for it.
indeed it is currently difficult to get results from various Bounty programs or one of these programs, but that does not mean that they cannot give a prize at all.

I guess bounty hunting is over saturated now, as the OP have said, the numbers are growing by the day and projects are less compare to 2017. That's why it's really hard to make profits in bounty hunting, plus the dump is what cause the price to really sink.

There could be other ways to make money here without capital, but it's really getting difficult. Hope though that this bullish cycle will make a sudden U-turn for bounty hunters.

All rewards that are given will have value when the community in the project is so good that they can maintain the price until the product runs quite well but so far there are so many projects that have no price because of the community's distrust of the token.

Reward will still depend on the number of allocated tokens and the number of participants in its project, yeah its normal to think that rewards could better, because we work on it day by day of promoting a lots of project, and i hope that together with the rewards, the value of the tokens itself could also be better, because thats the most important thing, but if the project is good, and with the lesser number of rewards, it could be better because, the lower the rewards the higher the value.

Right. The profit we get at the present is really quite low compared to those previous years wherein we can make a huge income. But i'm still thankful that i'm still gaining a good amount up to these days. I think there are still some ways undiscovered that we can also make profit without investing such an amount.

The reality of things are dawning on bounty hunters that most bounties that post rewards of millions eventually turn out to be scams.people are no longer moved by them.I prefer projects with moderate budgets,typically below 200k,they are more realistic under the current market

I agree with you. But I spend more time researching and reviewing projects to choose good projects. If you know how to choose projects, you can earn a lot of money.

This is because there are no investors who want to buy the token of the ICO.
Back then in 2017, there are many investors bought the token, even after the sale reached hardcap.
That's why many hunters received a good amount of reward at that time.

Our current situation is very different than 2017. At the end of 2017, wherever you invest, it would return as profit. To me, pausing good projects is another reason. If you paid attention, it was not difficult to encounter this view when the btc went down.

No matter how small the reward you have receive from bounties as long as this were a good project that can be like etherium or neo which can be a strong altcoins in the future is it ok for me. In that matter you can do play your rewards by executing buy and sell method, so there's a tendency your coin or toen get doubled or more than that.

If you got some coins or tokens for free than you want price to rise. In case of a bull run reward will decrease in no. but not in value. I think value will stay the same or increase as well. Now we are at turning point between next bull run and most project are calculating if this is the bull run we can give less tokens. If BTC breaks 6000 - 6100 level it is OK, but in case new drop will occur this might me reason for lover value of AD and bounty campaigns.

Very good advice, desperate times demands desperate measures. One have to be very smart to survive in this crypto world. Though this does not work all the time but it is works most of the time, being a bounty hunter helps one to research for projects and monitor their progress, a bounty hunter should know when a project is listed and it is these new exchange that most coins make fast pumps after listing, an example is moonx that is listed on cointiger, few weeks after its listing, it pumped from $0.025 to the current price of $0.079 which is over 200%. It is only through bounty hunting that one will notice such opportunities aside the real investors and developers.

This is actually a great inspiration to those who feels that it ain't worth it anymore or the reward from bounty it isn't worth it anymore and also an encouraging to me too. Thank you for this now I will restrategize and device more tactics

I agree that we are unlikely to see higher rewards. The approach to reward for participating in bounty campaigns has changed, the rewards have become smaller, but until bullrun comes you need to use this moment. The closer the arrival of the bulls, the more bounty hunters and the reward will be even less, so you do not need to spend time talking, and work.

Bounty rewards are now so small and no longer pays, you work on a project for 3 good months and someone pays you a token that you can easily dash to a beggars on the road which the token might even eventually turn to $1 on you if care is not taken, because even at that $50 still, many holders will not wait for it to appreciate and still dump it, leaving your own value to depreciate and end up becoming a bag holder.

I can’t even remember when last I checked on some projects that I have participated in in the past, their value has been stagnant for the past one year and not really making any improvement move, but I hope that one day, things will turn around for them.

yes, it is also a very good thing to do, I also did the same thing as what you did I got the OVO token at a price that fell, but with that, I did not become discouraged. I traded it on IDAX Exchanger and now I have benefited more than 200% of the gift tokens I got even though the price has never increased significantly since the coin was registered with the exchanger.

Less rewards? Yes there are many less reward for now especially when we talk about bounty campaigns because to be honest, bounty campaigns for now is dead because of the many scam campaign way back 2018 and those people who are participating in some bounty campaigns didn't give get the prize that they must get in participating in the bounty campaigns, for now I stop on joining and participating in bounty campaigns, for now I am starting on trading in darb (https://darbfinance.com/?=crowd)finance in which this is a trading platform and also a wallet in order to gain some money I am starting to explore the world of trading to eaern more money than the usual earnings that I've been getting.

When we have enough patience then we may have chance to earn big from our bounty rewards but people do bounty hunting doing this as their primary job so they will try to cashout as soon as their token gets value.

i wonder! i have imagined why the market value is increasing and the token value is not responding positively in relation to it ??? . i was becoming worried when i checked today again. well, if it wouldn't go as we expected, however let it not be so bad that it will not be encouraging anymore.i still believe there is a regulation around it.

That is clear, because if a project that is not good is definitely not going to be profitable, just to maximize profits we must always monitor the market and see the prices of coins that have been registered in the market, in order to make trades while participating in the project, so that we get more leverage.

I think owners of tokens will not reduce an award. They are interested in the development of projects. And bounty hunters play a significant role in this process. If to reduce an award all participants will not advertise projects. You must look in perspective.

I know we are worth a lot in life with our experience and hard work, but there are some situations where we have no choice, we just have to continue working hard and accumulating the little we can get, is it not better to get that little than to work and not even get any reward at all.

As a smart hunter, the little we get can be multiplied, that is why any little reward I get now, I don’t even wait for long-term to withdraw them temporarily, this is not yet their time, for now, we are all waiting for the bull run of BTC, so I change majority of them to BTC, so that the bull run can multiply it for me, but will invest them back to those Altcoins after I have gotten some profits through BTC.

Actually, you said it all right, but this is how the Bounty Hunter reflects.  The fact is that all participants of the Bounty companies do not have real protection and, therefore, the developers do not like them very much, including their work is not always rewarded.  If we consider 2016 and 2017, the Bounty Hunters had a good reward for complying with all the conditions and rules.  But today the situation is almost the opposite.

you need to create some kind of trade unions to protect the rights of participants in Bounty companies.  To reality, there is not even any legal force or other aspects that made our work legal.  Whatever tasks we are set for, we will still fulfill the tasks and conditions set.

With the number of bounty hunters increasing day in and day out, bounty rewards are likely to definitely decrease. So what I do mostly apart from waiting for bounty rewards is to promote and follow the progress of the project and take every opportunity that can fetch me something out of that. I once participated in a facebook campaign on a project and trust me, the reward I received was no where near the reward I had for voting for the project. Seize every opportunity of the project you're promoting and that can fetch you something big.

Even some promising projects also delaying their payment and waiting the market recoverance to 10k USD for BTC to giveaway their tokens. if you take the signature campaign they were paying triple the amount in BTC itself when it was in peak but now we are making very few bucks for the works.
Soon after the market recovered bounties will rock again.

With the current market condition, I think it's reasonable to have a very low bounty pool in today's bounties. With the popularity of cryptocurrencies, it attracts many investors and bounty hunters for a possible source of income and investment. Bounties today are not that good paying compared 2 years ago.

Yea you are on point, it's time for us to restrategize and change our method if we actually want to make it big in the crypto workd, we should always follow every project we are doing bomber to bomber, if there is any extra GIVEAWAY don't miss the chance or even voting as you never can tell which one will favour most and with that you are also increasing the no of token you will receive

I will not totally agree that bounty is dead. Although it might not be as productive as it used to be and majority of them are mere scam, notwithstanding, proper research can still fetch you good reward from bounty participation.

Indeed, i strongly believe that Bounties will work again; when the bull run come back fully like what we used to have whenever there's a bull run. I can still can vividly remembered those bounties that earned me more profits than signature campaigns in 2017. There will be a good reward when the market fully come back.

now noone hopes for unrealistic rewards and bounty hunters understand that huge money is the past and today they can earn only a little reward.

When you choose the Bounty Campaign project, and the prize you will get is small, then don't be sad. the most important thing is that the project is good, so from the prizes you get you can be used  it as capital,  can for investment or trading. The important thing is you are sure and do not directly sell your gift coins / tokens.

I also agree that the best times of the bounty rewards seem to have gone forever, with no possibility of returning. But fortunately this gradual fall has taken several years to reach the current situation of decline, so that those who truly committed to make a life of online business had enough time to learn to trade or learn about other business schemes online, and thereby guarantee our long-term financial viability.

The lazy people who during all these years only dedicated themselves to live on the bounty rewards are those who today go through bad times, and without a doubt deserve the scarcity they suffer today.

to get a big prize is difficult, we can get it even though the small prize is quite good because it can still produce rather than not produce at all.

sometimes the project also doesn't give a prize when we have finished the work so we have to be vigilant, and that is good enough if we get a prize even though it's not big.

A lot of changes have been taking place already especially with the rewards being received by the bounty hunters. The rewards are now become lesser compared to the past years where the rewards are huge and big. But we should still be hopeful that one of these days when the current price will reach another heights, we can still get huge rewards as the market price turns into green again.

Of course there will be changes, maybe in another sense because when there is a bullrun market there will be lots of coins whose prices can increase and maybe one of them is a coin from the bounty program that we follow, the number doesn't increase but the value increases and isn't that a good change ?

You're right absolutely true, because with regards to the bounty hunters that keeps growing day by day, it is said that the stakes or allocation would be devided into several participants, by this it is the main reason that the bounty rewards receive by a bounty hunter would be lesser.

Unlike joining bounty campaigns a couple of years ago, lesser participants that knows and joins bounty campaigns, and the rewards received is so huge.

It is not guaranteed that by random chance, the coin you have earned through bounty can pump like bitcoin do.
The value increase depends on the adoption of that coin you have earned.
If not that much use on it, then don't expect something with it.

Bounty hunter`s reward are just less but there are a lot of ways  to increase the number of tokens as you suggested by trading or by investing. Buying at lower price, and selling at higher price.
