What I've learnt about bounties so far
1)many bounty hunters are joining bounties that has huge stake allocations like 300,000$ upward ,some are even after the 1000000$ ones well I've stop hunting for projects that lure hunters with huge rewards as many of them are plain rubbish

2)I've learn to always join bounties that are already listed and trading with good volume and mind you these bounties always have low bounty rewards like 75k to 100k but there is high assurance of selling your tokens if you wish to ,not keeping coins that will never see the light of the days again ,I mean tokens that will never get listed

3)there are few bounty managers that I respect ,they take there job very serious and I always like to follow them ,waiting for them to launch new bounties ,I prefer to join 4-5 projects in a year than promoting shitcoins

I always stick to the bounty manager as well, because some of them have great reputation and almost all projects are already listed on exchanges. But there are some examples of bounties that have distributed huge rewards and are already listed with great volumes as well.

Big rewards don't attract me anymore after so many of my bounty rewards did not live up to expectation, I prefer looking at a project, what they can offer to the community, who are the team behind it, it's useless to receive supposedly $500 stakes from one campaign, where there is no guaranty that it is the price that you can trade that coin.

It's not only about that, the main thing right now is no more investors are really interest in ICO because most of ICOs are scam.
So, it impacted to all the bounty hunters

I saw lots of empty bounty projects they say giving millions of dollars.

I think the best way to lure more bounty hunters is to hire a bounty manager who followed by thousands of people.

1) Yes the amount they are giving out a big factor. But if projects really crap, even they say 10m $ they are giving out, there won't be much joiner.

2) Good volume and listed coin would means guaranteed income. And because lots of project is failing, people is joining this, even for very little amounts.

3) Better bounty manager asks more (not just money) so their reputation bring more people. I always check who is the bounty manager before i join.

Before joining the company, I pay attention to the manager. A reputable manager will not be associated with questionable projects, reputation will be more expensive. And too generous rewards often turn out to be just another dummy.

I also look at the manager first, then check the project and the reward allocation.  If it is fair then I'll participate.  There are also a low reward bounties that never paid.  There is also no assurance that if we joined the bounty run by reputable manager can give us a good amount.  All in all, bounty hunting is like a treasure hunting game wherein sometimes we get good reward and often times we get nothing.

And it's marketing.. observe exaggerations! :)

First things first
You need to understand that selecting already listed projects to promote on bounties does not need anything

Athero is listed and has refused to pay, just an example

There is little even the bounty manager can do when rewards total are slashed, this happened with Velic.id

But continue to work hard; you will get there

I have noticed that many projects deceive hunters by putting high rewards and then later cut it so low or never pay at all. I havenow became very sensitive about this project and try to figure out many things about them before I join them

Well, not every huge allocation give shit token to bounty hunters. Let me mention Polybius (1M USD allocation) and Utrust (I don't remember but more than Polybius). From these two project I received decent profit. Polybius gave me 3,6K USD for participating on their campaign for 4 weeks with only Jr.Member rank and Utrust gave me around 2K USD for joining content canpaign. This is not about the allocation, but some factors like market condition, investors interest and many more.

This maybe low risk but always give people a penny. You can never be a little whale through this kind of campaign.

This maybe give you trust and confidence for joining their campaign. But it's not forever, unfortunately I can't mention some of well-known bounty managers who turned into scam.

Big rewards don't hold any ground. Projects that are listed on exchange is the best because you know what your promotion efforts is worth not ones based on speculation.

It would be better if you attached an example for each of the point you written. However, you will not always find campaign which is listed in the exchange and having high vomule. It's rare case. We have to analysis by ownself if we want to participate in a good bounty.

Not many bounty hunters were promoting shitcoins in 2019,only people with low ranks are doing it so which makes clears that people start to realize that they are wasting their time on bounties and also increase in bitcoin paying signatures attracts more members towards it.

Yes, a lot of bounty hunters really attract big rewards for rewards, but they don’t understand that with such a big reward the project may not collect the minimum amount and just then don’t pay the reward.

I get your point.m but I don't think it's about selling your token.. Bounty participants may be over 1000 on a particular project and how much will get to each participant for a 100k bounty reward??

As for me ... I do go for projects with high bounty allocation and when I get my reward.. I hold onto them for sometime before thinking of selling.. Bounty hunting is not considered a job done to put food on the table

You almost nailed the main reasons why bounties fail nowadays. The serious project has normal goals and they never give false promises like 200000$ worth ETH bounty. Shitcoins are last part of the bounty after everything is done.

Which bounty managers work for reliable projects now? I joined projects managed by all the top bounty managers like Yahoo, Amazix and so on but Yahoo's both projects failed and I did not even earn a penny while some of Amazix's projects were good while some just did not earn enough to continue and their bounty was cancelled. Bounties offering huge rewards never pay off and hence it's better to join programs that offer guaranteed ETH rewards even if the project fails like I joined 2-3 projects that failed to gather funds but still paid $120-150 for being part of it and would love to add that these projects had no manager but the project owner itself paid me.

You are right! I have noticed few bounties of Yahoo, that was paid by its nature token and those tokens really worthy, For example Jibrel network, Gbyte and etc. You must be choosy while you want to participate in any bounties because recent days many scam ICOs have been launched. Henceforth, please take your efforts to not join scam projects.
I closely take care of signature campaign alone instead of the bounties.

A good reputation bounty manager can more easily attract bounty hunters, moreover they usually have their own community so they already have participants.

And I had the opposite. Proven and respected bounty manager conducted projects that eventually turned out to be non-working. It is a pity, of course, that this is happening. But no one is immune from mistakes.

You are right we should only find and promote high quality projects and if we have even 1 percent doubt in any project we should not promote it, secondly we should look for project that has already raised enough funds ro continue the project because if you promote a project for many weeks and in the end you come to know that the project has failed to raise enough funds so bounty hunters will not get anything such news is always heart breaking so its better to promote only projects that will continue either from seed or pre funding from private investors.

I think your reasoning is unreasonable, many people are looking for and participating in bounties with pools from $ 10k to about $ 100k. It makes them believe that this bounty will actually bring money to them, not the bounties with unrealistic pool numbers with the current situation.

a high bid in a prize at promotion bounty we must be of suspicious ,from where the funds are allocations without reach a goal at softcap or hardcap ,be aware of when events occur experience is important in order to avoid shitcoin

In my experience, choosing a bounty campaign is a lottery. Even if you check the project, there is no guarantee that you will earn anything. I've been in campaigns for projects who claims that they reached hard cap, but later they just disappeared.

Now it is difficult to find a decent project in the falling ICO's market. It's always a lottery. Sometimes even a careful analysis of the project given't the expected profit. Recently I participated in the project of a manager I always trusted. Payment was in a coin that was in TOP.As a result, in the final for all hunters the stakes was cut in a half.

Good. Then you can leave all those USD millions to people who chase big money and are not worried about missing a shot once or twice. Your call!

You are right in your submission .
This goes to show how dishonest some of these projects are.
I had an ugly experience with one of such projects ..boltcoin project.
Initially ,it was stated on the bounty thread that allocations would be 5million boltcoin token.
At the end of the bounty program, they came up with a ridiculous excuse and reduced allocations from 5million tokens to just 100k.
It is annoying.

It happens, of course, in different ways. but
I also noticed that ICO campaigns that promise high rewards. usually end up very bad.
I agree that it is best to join projects. which have a finished product and high volume tokens traded on the stock exchange. However, such projects are becoming less and less.

joining a bounty that already listed in exchange never guarantee you a good amount earning because if you join it i think many people already join it so the total rewards already small with many people join it you will receive a small reward too

It is better to join the bounty campaign of the project that listed on the exchange than wasting time with the new token. New projects can fail easily or get dumped after getting listed on the exchange.

I don't join project just because it promised big rewards for bounty hunters because with my experience, project like that just want to lure many bounty hunters to promote their projects that they also don't have any productive way to do so rather than bounty. Most of the projects like this don't do well on exchange

I don't agree with this because I know most hunters are wise now not to choose bounties just because of the allocation.

Even those bounties already listed that you think can do well also disappoints most time. I do not want to mention names but toll today one of such still holds hunters rewards and has refused to distribute.

If I may ask, how do you qualify projects to be shit some of those ones you call shit might end up rewarding you beyond expectations.

wow, that's a big scammer and I'm sure if their community will decrease even because they make mistakes even though it's not fatal ... just remind, never look at bounty because allocations are big but look at products and teams

bounty is now not like the previous year's bounty. I have received 0.6 BTC in 1 project. but now after many FUDs have damaged fundraising, the bounty has become very bad. now. very difficult to find a good bounty. I get a lot of shitcoin and scam projects.

You can´t expect that bounty allocation is around 300 000USD, the reality is that bounty allocation is around 10 times less than team thinks, so the real allocation is around 30 000USD, now, calculate if there will be only 1000 participants, how big would be your reward?

The ones offering more than $1 million are definitely a waste of time, there is no way that their token will be worth that much when released on the exchanges when presale investors and bounty hunters dump. The value of total distribution will most likely be a few hundred dollars

When I joined bounty newly I was always doing all this big allocation bounties. Thinking I will make it big after sharing and listing, till I learnt a better lesson. It's advisable to research very well, most of this huge allocation bounties end up as scam,only few even end up listing. Then after listing, you will be disappointed. Already trading bounties are the best, anytime and any day.

Bounties with high bounty allocations will have millions of participant but the value of their token is not guaranteed at all.  I have learned that lesson as well  and this is why I try to  join quality projects  and the amount of the reward is not on the first place in the selection process any more.

I wish that people would stop being greedy and joining every bounty program and every coin thread without checking them out and reading opinions on the forum.
People are wasting time promoting scammers and later they find out that the scammers didn't even try and their team pictures are fake.

If a coin is suspicious don't promote it and demand to be paid in another coin instead of their token or ask them to get an escrow. Putting some money on the line they will show their good intentions.

Going with the reputable bounty manager can easily help you to determine what are the good projects. You can save your time from looking at the legitimate projects and bounty that they will advertise and accepted to work with.

They are responsible and will protect their reputation, if the project turns into a bad one and going to a scam one, they will notify all of you that they will leave the project because of that reason.

Most times, those developers or bounty managers give excuses at the end of the bounty, purposely to reduced the pool allocate for the bounty.
This has happened so many times and a typical example of such is Vanya and lots more.
This is sometimes not a good decision to make, because at the initial stage the starting fund was not much, but with time it grows.

Making a huge amount of allocation is known as click bait, where you think the project seems good but its not. like you said the huge amount of reward will lure people to take the risk. I guess the only sure thing we can do when joining bounty is to look for it if its already listed on exchanges.

You're right. Its better joining bounty projects that are at least listed in CMC already for your efforts not to get wasted.Doing bounty is just like having a job which is doing a months work and didn't get paid and it's really hurting just like being robbed.

I go for bounties that are likely to attract investment. The biggest obstacle to getting paid in the last year has been projects that were not good enough to attract investors and consequently the payout for bounties being really low or non existent. It as means you are more likely to get coins that have a chance of retaining their value once they get listed.

If that so, would you mind creating some list that determines which bounty hunters are the most efficient and reliable at all? Because as I can see on your point, you are telling that a successful projects can be hinted by the successful bounty managers that conducts the initial inspection of the projects background and team.

I agree with you that joining projects that are already listed is much better it is a common sense thing but what you are saying is close to none exist because there are no listed projects that will pay 75k-100k for bounties, you can find listed project bounties but you will find them paying pennies which if you compared with the amount of money the risky projects offer then taking the risk will be much appealing.
 
For example, taking the risk to do bounties for 5 projects that offering to pay 1000 each is much more appealing than accepting to do bounty for a project that offering to pay 10.

You are right ,I'm also stop joining bounties that have no assurance of taking out your profit when you want, I can't keep holding on to tokens or coins that might never get listed ,its better to join bounties that are already trading like you said

I would say 'thank you' if you could list bounty managers that are trusted on here because many managers don't care at all ,and most bounties that are already listed offers too low to none rewards when paying hunters

So, Moozicore is already listed in exchange right? It's not offering a million worth tokens for hunters? Seriously, what you posted here does not suit you when wearing a signature like this. You are trying to lower the joinings and get more stakes by spreading FUD among other newbie bounty participants.

I took part in the translation campaigns for VLB and Fast Invest and both flopped or probably did not earn anything and hence both my experiences were bad. Recent days, I can't see any campaign which is worthy and am still depending on earlier campaigns like Spectre and Pundi that are still positively working on their projects and paying dividends. If not scam, the bounties don't earn anything. I prefer BTC-paying SCs than altcoins.

Bounty hunter promote new project, yes that almost all projects.
But you know, bounty hunter always blame when price go down when we get paid because we as bounty hunter sell in cheap price.
How if bounty hunter paid with ETH, LTC or other mayor coin that not affected with project token.
So they will not blame us because price down.

I usually follow bounty managers who work diligently and honest. I avoid joining bounties with huge reward and a lot of participants because you will just end up getting average payments since there are numbers of participants. I also make sure to review bounties before participating to avoid promoting scam projects.



Great idea, but projects choose to distribute their own token instead because the value of it is yet to be known once it becomes active market, will save them for them paying for rewards- good for bounty hunters if the project gets good market demand.

And be very suspicious of those with huge stakes allocation. They are usually the desperate, fake and substandard ones. They tend to have the rewards included in their topic headlines to lure vulnerable hunters.

Absolutely your correct most of the bounty manager is responsible and do his job being a manager, the investors and participants they can get huge rewards if the project are successful after the end of presale.

1. That was because they value their token on their own price, like a discount price, pre-ico price. So the true value doesn't show right up, yes the higher the reward for bounty it tends to become a useless token. I think they just want to spread the news about their ico as wide as possible.

2. It's safer to join already listed coin on the market, the problem usually the competition will be more fierce and the rewards not so much, but hey at least you got paid.

I don't think people are swayed by big cash bounty announced anymore. Most persons have learned from experience that they can be worthless in real market evaluation. So the real lure for bounties is the quality of project. Imagine we are having a binance coin bounty, it will come with a flood of hunters.

Your first reason is very accurate. I have experienced this with one project called VEIAG. They offered a mouth watering 6 million dollars in bounty rewards, but the project disappeared after about 3 months of the campaign and promised to reopen since September last year. Till now, there has been no news about them. It was all scam.

Large amounts of up to millions of dollars in many bounty campaigns are only counted by tokens when they have not even been created. I believe many people will choose as well

Well said. However, that these perceived reputable managers are involved in managing a campaign doesn't essentially mean the project won't turn out shitty.  I have participated in bounties managed by reputable manager and up till this moment some of the projects are yet to be listed on the CMC. It's a tough one really. Even being careful not to fall victims to these scammers doesn't really get one safe because one could still end up getting scammed.

i noticed that some bounty campaign this 2019 are those who are in trading already..for me its better to join that campaign rather than spending my time and effort with worthless project

I think the large and small allocations given do not affect the success of the promotion program that will be carried out to lure the people involved to participate in it, professional managers who can determine the success of the project, because professional managers are certainly more careful in choosing projects that are good for can be promoted

It's because a lot of newbies have been entered into bitcointalk, mostly since the last year and they don't know how to evaluate a project, they join any of the project they see. Nowadays, most of the projects fail to collect fund because investors have lost faith from ICO. Bounty hunters should undertstand this.

I agree with you that seeing a bounty manager can be used as a benchmark when we choose a bounty. A bounty manager is an initial indication whether the project will pay or not. some bounty managers are given perfect rates because they always provide services to Bounty hunters.

I think its better to stop promoting ICO projects since too few people are the only investors left ,many others are after IEO projects ,investors are tired of ICOs already and so am i

Bounty campaign now is different from 2017 or 2018. In the past, the more the bounty pool, the more you will get.
It was because many ICO's has reached the hardcap, and the buyers were keep buying even after the token sale.
But now, it will be better to join bounty campaign with not too much reward, to avoid dumping after main sale.

But more experienced bounty hunters know that these amounts valuated in USD have only support in the market when there is bigger demand for altcoins.

Trusted bounty managers can be a good middle man between hunters and the projects, well managed campaigns also have a good possibilities that
the rewards will be distributed properly, even there's no assurance whether the tokens will succeed and be listed so it can brings some amount of
profits, but there's some good chances as bounty managers also needs compensations.

We must be more selective in choosing a gift project. Many projects offer very large results but the project fails and is not listed as an Exchange. We must be able to find reliable ICO projects so that we can also get good results.

The best way to hunt good bounty is to first make good research about the project, the team and bounty manager. With this you can know much about the project if is good to promote or not.

Actually, I have participated in a bounty with the allocation of a large $ 1 million dollar token, but after the promotion was completed and the sale of tokens was completed, garbage was not sold at all on the market, while I followed Bounty with an allocation of $ 50k tokens to be fast and expensive.

so we shouldn't be tempted by the big prize.

Yes, very often ICO fraudulent projects attract bounty hunters with large payouts, because they are not going to actually pay them. At the same time, very rarely a situation arises when an ICO begins to be conducted, and new tokens are already being traded on the exchange. In general, I also noticed that those projects that promise high rewards do not pay them very often, even if they were not scammers. At the same time, I was always surprised that inconspicuous ICO projects with small payments very often not only promptly transferred the promised tokens to our wallets, but they also traded well on the stock exchange.

No one guarantees that with 4-5 projects you will also be able to earn. Perhaps even some of them will be empty garbage, and what will you earn in a year?) Of course, it’s everyone’s business how to get lost ... Either take part in a large number of bounty programs, or choose 1-2 every month. In any case, I wish you all good luck)

Nothing is absolutely guaranteed in this space, I have seen a lot of recommend highly rated bounty managers that managed projects that failed, a lot of them should be looking for another job or join bounty hunting as well. The truth is that majority of success recorded here largely depend on luck. Just do what you feel is right and hope for success

Indeed there are some projects who promise huge rewards and after bounty hunters either get some coins without value either sometimes get nothing, i hope in future all choose better projects.

I like the statement of the OP that most of the projects are just plain rubbish. And it is true that very few campaign managers really do care about his campaigns. I've seen one who manages a lot of eth token-paying campaigns but up until now, most of them haven't received their worthless tokens yet. Those large numbers are just to attract hunters but in reality, you will be lucky if you can get few bucks from your long running campaigns. But it is up to the user if he will join or not, it is his own choice in the very first place.

As for me, I stick to the reputation of bounty managers before I will have to participate in any bounty.
 As for bounty hunters, many are after bounty with higher bounty allocation and with higher rewards aor even coins that are already trading, but it seems that's not what cryptocurrency is all about.
We the bounty hunters have to go about our research first before we'll say we want to participate in any bounty as not to result in waste of time and energy over the bounty and thereafter not going to pay

ICOs are the ones to be blame because of the FUNDs many that have nothing to offer crypto world will just jump in and start claiming they are developers ,hiring here and there just to put a project together all for the sake of fund

Nowadays, most project are so unrealistic. Before you participate in bounty program, it is essential you known about the bounty manager before devoting your precious time to promote the project. The truth is that most hunters pay an undivided attention  tonthe rewards and tends to promote bounty programs with high rewards. Majority is guilty of this.

Big bounty allocations are attractive to hunters, but so many hunters participate in those campaigns that the
reward could be lower at the end than in other not so attractive campaigns.

Usually, the more the reward pool of the campaign, the more potential the token price will dump later.
I think bounty hunters should choose the campaign because the project and team is good, not because the reward is big.

Project team set the price for their token,and they also set the cap values so they can allocate as much as they want to their bounties as well.

For example you will get only one part in 100 compared to the rewards they are saying so decide it is worth to do or not.

as for bounty managers, I also try to follow the proven ones, but what concerns the bounty with coins that are already traded on exchanges, as a rule, the distribution is so meager that "The game is not worth the candle.."

I've participated in numerous bounties and my luck is around 50/50.

50% paid bounty and token hit exchange.
50% didn't pay bounty, or the token didn't have any exchange, project cancelled, etc, etc.

It's never ok to not get paid but this is the crypto space and conditions that we live in.
I just accept it and move on to the next one.

This is why bounty managers are very important ,you have to check who the bounty manager is before joining the bounty project ,I've seen many bounty managers that rips hunters off there rewards when bounty ends

Yeah, its so sad to see the bounties managed by good campaign managers like yahoo is failing. We can't exactly blame as the investors are not investing in ICOs. Amazix campaign did well last year but they are also facing the same issue. Anyway how do you find bounty campaigns which are paying via ETH?

You must remain vigilant because not all projects with large funds can succeed. What needs to be considered before you decide to join is, of course, doing research. Then monitor the development of the project and the main thing is to look for projects with reliable managers. And for now, the market conditions indeed support the project to be able to return to success.

Bounty managers thus matters most but there are many hunters on here that care less about listed bounties with low payouts ,they prefer to join bounties with higher allocations and wait  till the project get listed ,the truth is many cares about higher rewards

I have listed some of the points that I look for, before joining a bounty campaign. Please check my list below, in which the points are given in the order of the most important, to the least important:

1. Priority given for tokens and coins that are already listed in exchanges
2. Reputed bounty manager
3. Duration of the bounty campaign (preferably 4 weeks or less)
4. Bounty allocation of at least 2% of the total pool
5. Team with previous experience
6. ICO based from developed nations such as Japan, South Korea, Germany.etc
7. Hardcap on the number of participants
8. No KYC requirement
9. Fixed date for the payment of bounty
10. Active telegram support for the bounty campaign

not everything like number 2 from your point, and yes I would prefer follow bounty if the bounty manager for real have good reputation. Can you say it who is the bounty manager you really trust like you say?

That's true, there are peojects that are very promising but sometimes the campaign manager destroy that campaign because he/she not doind his/her job right. So it is better to join those bounty campaigns that has a good campaign manager and at the same time, good token to sell in the future.

In my opinion, The more reward published by the bounty thread the more chance to be a scam. Because I have seen many projects where they promised during starting bounty campaign that will give more rewards about even 1 million dollars. But after working some time we see that the bounty project cannot be successful. And lastly, they excuse paying the reward to the bounty hunters. Sometimes reward changes to less than promised. And some time pay according to stake and we can see the token have no value and even did not touched by any exchange for 1 year or more.

1) it is expected value, value if you consider the ICO price. But we know that in bear market this is impossible.
2) this is the most safe way how to earn real $$
3) list them please  :)

I like the pointers but the first one is also can be considered there are projects that who really paid amounting to their given budget. Example of this is eterbase which is currently traded above its price. Clearly its a gold hidden gem during the campaign and those who dumped early are probably regretting it. By any chance a project with high budget and you found out that their project is good dont hesitate.

Bounty managers come and go but you can always stick to those who are well trusted one. Also if not a BM but you can always try bounty platforms who has been here since they commence such as bountyhive. Highly recommemded for an escrow bounty service.

It entails a lot of things to get to know a good bounty. Before now I used to consider a project with limited total Supply as a good project for Bounties. After sometime I limited my research and bounty hunting o already trading Bounties until i met some that refuse to pay. So bounty is more of luck this days

The already listed projects you join believing they are the best can also fail you when the time comes for distribution and payment. All I can say is follow your instincts when you see a good bounty. Most bounties on low key even do better now.

Atleast you have a lighter note and views regarding the bounty hunting. Unlike most of these participants who continuously spamming shitposts just to meet the posting requirements.
Anyway, that choice of yours are always better, but I think its rare to find a bounty campaign which token is already listed and actively trading. I have joined once with Byteball, of course with one of the reputable CM in this community, and the campaign went smooth, and that was just the only bounty that I participated in, as most of the bounties will only turn into shitcoins.

The bounty work has really been a tedious one off late. Project manager plus bounty managers are just luring bounty hunters with some huge price allocations in other to get a lot of participants but yet majority of these coins end up as shitcoins which will never be listed. To my fellow bounty hunters, look for bounties that mostly have few for bounty allocation but trading with high volumes. Its better to work on just three(3) bounties that will pay much than working on twenty(20) shitcoins that will never be listed but just to fill your wallet space.

I agree because in my opinion the manager is one of the things we need to pay attention to when choosing a bounty program, the reputation of menager is very important to be taken into account, but unfortunately I can't just follow the bounty handled by a senior manager and who has a good reputation because there are several projects that I think it's good and convincing even though it is handled by a new manager
em i mean, is that the reputation of the manager is important, but it cannot be a benchmark that it is a good project, just for consideration

Part of your research is the potential of the project, you are right if they give you very high rewards that can make an impact in their price, you better check if they are really going to distribute that or they will just scam people in the expense of bounty hunters effort, I also stopped doing ICO bounty hunters with a very high rewards, because they always ended up as shitcoins.

if we see the enthusiasm of the bounty hunters in supporting the bounty project, it is not as it used to be and many of them left and some chose to join the 2-3 bounty programs by choosing carefully because they would not want to get disappointment at the end of their work. this is what we feel at the moment looking for certainty of appropriate payment by joining 2-3 projects

There is only one bounty manager here whom I trust 100%. And that is none other than yahoo62278. But the issue is that he is very choosy and manages only 2-3 campaigns at a time.

So here is a list of some of the other trusted bounty managers here:

Arteezy.rtx
deadley
julerz12
btcltcdigger
Sylon

I would have liked to add Wapinter to the list, but he is currently down with red trust.

I agree that the manager is very important for any company bounty. But I do not agree with the rewards. Those projects where the amount of rewards is high may show good results too. In October last year, I participated in one Russian project in which there was a big reward and then another coin price of this project grew more than 10 times.

But moozicore is not listed, yet you are participating in their signature campaign. It is better to look out for a bounty with an already working product than the one listed because I participated in a certain bounty which was on exchange but it got dumped even before distribution and my total reward was not even up to 1$.

It's everyone's choice. I think it's better to perform a project with a large pool bounty awards. Since in this case you can get a huge profit. But the probability of getting nothing more. Very often in bounty projects a lot depends on the number of steaks that you get. And we need to monitor this.

High bounty reward is also a high project risk i don't think its a good or bad to join after they finish the token sale. Low reward bounty is for a low risk to take from it.

i can only say from my experience that many bounties try to attract with large amounts, but after the ico, the token have hardly any value. so the promise of a good income was not kept. therefore i do not expect much earnings for bounties.

In the current market conditions the reward is not the only thing that matters when you evaluate a new bounty campaign it's also the quality of the offering and its potential to appreciate in future post-sale so focus on analyzing the quality of venture capital and private funding, business partnerships, advisors, and marketing strategy to determine which ones are worthwhile participating in and you'll likely benefit more from doing so

I avoid some bounty managers like minding my own business. I don't for any reason join bounty whose announcer has a negative remarks, and I don't join bounty program that has a weak social media response, when the budget is too big and they are not strict about rules of engagement, I stay clear.

I do not know but I somewhat get attracted when seeing the allocated amount for the stake on each bounty. Seems they were pretty smart to lure us.

1. True, most of bounty hunters always find a good bounty that have a big allocation funds for the bounty. The sad is it's really hard to find a good bounty with big allocation fund nowdays.
2. Yeah, it's more safety to find bounty that already listed the tokens on exchange. So you will not afraid about to sell your token.

I absolutely agree with you in there, I do the same with what you do this year. I only do 4-5 bounties at a time with a high success rate or already listed on exchange or doing an IEO in good exchange. There's no point in doing so many bounties that have no value and will not be successful in their fundraising stages. Its a waste of time.

ico projects offer great bonuses to attract bounty hunters to work for them. But actually many ico don't pay tokens for bounty hunters, sometimes they disappear. or keep track of bonus managers who have many reputations and have many successful projects. Don't see the big bonus and rush in.

Yes, that was what I did first, looking for a high-allocation Bounty project, not knowing whether the quality was good or not, at the end of rubbish tokens piled up on wallet almost without price, even official telegram group was very quiet, hoping token made a big change in the future  ;D

That's the risk upon joining, if you got a lucky pick the rewards will be as high from what you desire but if the project got stuck up then you
don't have anything to do but to wait and hope that things will bring some good things and it will be added to any listing exchange.

High bounty is only good if the project can raise a good amount of money during the crowdsale.
Hitting the hard cap would be good, there are only few project that I saw lately that might have a good success and this will make bounty hunters getting good reward. My friend joined the harmony bounty and told me it will be in the Binance launchpad soon, so that's a guarantee that he will be paid.

Truly I have not been moved by the outrageous rewards payable to bounty hunters because at the end of the campaign its either a scam or a bunch of worthless tokens.
Presently a bounty I promoted had not been listed more than a year now citing flimsy excuses on the ground that cryptos market is bearish,
My bounty preference now is to promote an already listed coin irrespective of the price in the market.

I don't think all projects with huge reward allocation will fail us because I was once part of a high allocation bounty and it was a successful one and I made thousands of dollars with the token reward they distributed and it is all worth it my time and effort. I actually look for a solid and responsible team not only the one with high allocation and idea of the project just to make sure we eon't be left hanging and unpaid.

I don't think so as well, but we have to also understand that there are as much legitimate projects as there are non legit ones. And in the end, it's up to the managers if we'll get our tokens and bounties or we just promoted their projects for free. I've also been in a lot of good projects that was successful as a camaign and there were also some that either took a long time to pay, or never paid at all lol.

This assessment is kinda true.. And personally,  i have made mistake of falling for this demeanor often times that i didn't even get to receive the rewards slated out. I think, It pays going for those that are sure for rewards payment and exchange listing.

Sure rewards for coins who's already inside the listing site project who offers bounty with already existing exchange that caters the trade, it's good to participate with that kind of campaigns where you just need to wait for bounty allocation to be rewarded to all the participants.

Yes, now is the time that you don’t already know whom to trust, there are certainly some bounty managers with whom you can always cooperate and make their bounties, because you know that these bounty managers try to choose good projects, and of course when you see a huge pool in bounty, of course there is a big chance that at the end of the bounty, as usual, the company of this bounty will cut the pool in several times.

I agree with you, in 2019, many projects revised their policies and reduced the bounty hunters award. But at the same time, there are more projects that are already traded on the stock exchange and you can be sure that you will receive your reward for participating in the bounty campaign.

Well, thanks for sharing these experienced you had from doing bounties. For me, when I choose a bounty I look first whose been manage which is has a high trust or even had been a long service here in the forum. Because I already scam by  i newbie manager which is their project has been success and after that they keep promising and tell it turns to forget about of what we did to help their peoject to success.

You have a very strange logic, if you yourself say that big awards are offered only by fraudulent projects, and projects that are already traded on the stock exchange have a pool of about $100K, then how can 4-5 projects per year bring you earnings? I can see now that the rewards have decreased, but in this situation, even having a high rank on the forum, the remuneration does not exceed $100. ~$500 per year can become a motivation for a long time to write posts?

I agree with this. There are some Bounty campaigns out there whose allocation is so very huge that can be alluring to those bounty hunters out there. For me, whatever the allocation is doesn't matter. There are some basis that I've made that can help me before joining in a bounty campaign.

There are some bounties that are listed already in an exchange but most of them aren't since it is new project and new coin so joining in a bounty campaign that has already listed in an exchange is hard to find. If there are some bounties then can you please share it to me :)

Reputable bounty campaign managers is a big help in choosing a bounty campaign but that doesn't mean that if it is being managed by a reputable campaign manager then it will be a good coin in the future. Campaign managers don't care about the coin as long as they are being paid. Hard Fact :)

You have a good point here, though that’s not really what I look for before joining any bounty in this forum. When I’m joining an ICO I make sure that the ICO I’m about to join is legit and has chances for success. I wouldn’t like to work and not get paid or maybe get paid pennies after a long term of hard work.

The first thing I start with is the team behind the ICO, this is very important to me and I don’t mess around with this. I try to dig up every single information and check everything to know if they are really what they claim to be. Cause even scammers can make use of fake ID to deceive people. Next thing that follows is their whitepaper, their website, their market and the promises they are making. I’m not here to believe unrealistic promises that pisses me off.

I have always concentrated first on the quality of the project. There is no point participating in a bounty that never reaches its soft cap because the idea is stupid or the team behind the project are incapable of bringing their idea into reality. I then judge whether it is worth participating from how much I might earn. I look for projects were the number of participants is low in relation to the reward. I avoid bounties with no end date or with specific number of tokens per task (ie 10 tokens per tweet or week). I look for stake based bounties that do not cap earnings.

That is what I usually do too before, I look at the allocation and the number of participant to calculate how big my reward would be based on my ranking before joining the campaign, until I later realized that most of these high offer campaigns are quite unserious, and they just use that big offer to trick us.

Though in the past, it use to work, because that is when some bounties use to pay someone for as high as $1500 to $2000 dollars per campaign, but the reasons why I felt they reduced initially was because a hunting became popular, we started having more hunters, but now, it doesn’t work that way again.

Why it better to follow bounty managers with good reputation is because they selecte the kind of project they promote and research about the team and how legit they are, by that way they scrutinize the project they promote before bringing it to bounty hunters to promote and most of the projects they promote in the past are already listed on the exchange.

Absolutely right, a good project is our hope that the bounty hunters especially at the moment not all projects are honest in the distribution of prizes..
and I myself began to learn from previous experience to be smart in choosing projects that are led by bounty managers who are always active in this forum especially the manager himself follows the bounty led..

Infact you nailed this points, many hunters have fallen a victim of Huge reward project that turns out shit and was also a victim till I learnt my lesson, before I choose any bounty to participate In now, I dig deep and not just based on the reward

I agree with point number three, with so many scam coins limit yourself to 3 or 4 good projects, big rewards do not attract me any more I prefer looking on the project, platform, and the people running the project, this is the time that setting a criterion is a big must for bounty hunters.

You act too carefully when choosing a bounty campaign. I agree that the scammers promise large rewards to attract more attention, while projects that went to the exchange offer less reward. But even among the scam projects is 2-3, which after a time go to the top and bring huge profits.

Now it has become easier to make money, but as the bull market returns, there will be an influx of new bounty hunters and this will again lead to very small earnings. Think that there is about six months, to have time normally earn.

Please tell me where are you looking for projects? thank

I like bounty managers that do not just accept jobs from different projects. I know some bounty managers that actually check if it's legit and it will pay well. And I notice it because their campaigns are really profitable where you can earn $800 and above which is already good for me. But there are campaigns where you can get more than that from those people as well.

I think what we need to do is to really make a research on what we are about to join. You have a good point to consider but not all Bounties are like that. What if the project really needs a huge amount to be accomplished or they need to promote their project a little longer to spread awareness. They should also give a reasonable amount of rewards. Well, we really need to evaluate the project. Bounty Managers are also a good guide but it is not a 100% assurance that you can get the good bounty project.

A bounty campaign is a complicated thing. Many projects deceive not only their investors, but also bounty hunters.
Therefore, the bounty campaign must be chosen very high quality and meticulous. If you doubt the reliability of the project, it is better not to participate, because you simply will not be paid.

You are right, bounty that allocate enormous reward is possible a fake bounty which is use to lure hunters in to their campaign since the bounty allocation is too huge.

It is definitely true. I have changed chasing a lot of bounties this year, I am very selective and only choose bounties that are already on exchange and those that have huge rewards for bounty hunters.

Choosing a respected manager brings the conviction that a led project will succeed, sometimes more interested in projects that promise high payments, even though they are not sure of their success

You have a good eye as you have seen some of the tactics of other projects just to promote their project by any means. Giving a huge amount as bounty rewards to bounty participants is only part in their marketing techniques and in the end 90% of this kind of strategy will fall or will exit as scam.

So it is better that we will follow those projects who have good intention even thought they are not giving a huge amount for bounty instead they are giving only a reasonable amount to make sure that their project will be stable after the campaign.

Although high bounty rewards are usually used to attract bounty participant but not all of them are scam. I have participated in some successful campaigns which had a high reward and it was really profitable. Even those ones with lesser reward does not guarantee its success.

Bounty is still my choice to find the money. Although in the past year a lot of Bounty project failed. Now I am looking for a project that has good quality by the way I do the checking. With a manager and a team of experienced developers I certainly Bounty projects can be relied on.

can still make a profit and there are still opportunities to make a profit.
not all projects are bad so if we can choose the right one and the right possibilities we can produce.
market conditions improved and also resulted in getting prizes, bounty hunters were one way that could generate free money without capital, indeed we use labor for jobs like free but do not know whether it will be paid or not but we must remain optimistic.

Well, you are right. Recently I have seen a bounty which budget is 8 Million USD where their soft cap is not that much amount! So, what does it mean actually? But people are joining there overwhelming! Once their were a time when we joined in bounties by seeing the budget and those were real mostly! But those days are gone, now most of the bounty campaign means supporting shit coins! Always I don't believe in good bounty managers because they are not paying you! I believe in research! Many good bounty managers are gone as their bounties were not successful last year! Only a very few old days bounty managers are active now, but you can't say their all bounties are worthy to do!

Actually I didn't find good bounty at the year 2018- 2019. Although we know now this time 75% ICO do not catch soft cap. I think many unless and bad development projects still running in the crypto market.
Oh this my attitude think, I want choice old professional bounty manager and her manage bounty process.

Bounties has now turned to this warning 'be careful what you seek for' the greedy ones who always wants huge rewards will keep falling for these luring bounties not me

just like you say, many bounty hunters work to promote some project is for free, neither be scamed or didnt pay by the team itself, so filter the bounty program that you want to join, just like you said.

Chasing many bounties and promoting it for months have become tiring for me so I stopped participating in social media campaigns. I think you made a wise decision of limiting them to high quality campaigns.

We don’t have any choice now than to stop picking these bounties randomly but to do very great research on them all before joining, and even with research, there is still no guarantee that the project we chose to pick will be successful because we don’t know the real intention of the developer.

The developers might look genuine and come up with a real life working product, but their aim will be to dump the project to the market, so that people can use that as an excuse for their scam because we also have professional scammers, and that is what they do, so ICO nowadays is even now like gambling, game of luck.

We can predict on the future of bounties that we can promote all we can do is to promote the project and wait for what will happen on the ICO or IEO if it will succeed or not so if the project will not raised funds or failed then bounty hunters will also be affected because of that so bounty hunters be careful on the project we promote and try this project if you are looking for a good project The Dencoin tokens.

True. Sometimes choosing good and reputable bounty managers is also not a guarantee you will get paid 100%, manager maybe good but sometimes it is the project developers that are not true to their words. I think i been twice or trice already to this kind of campaign. At the end of the ICO the project manager denied the bounty hunters their pay by saying they were not satisfied by their service.

Well said.. Everything about crypto is a risk like I always say. You might join a bounty with low reward and still not get a penny at last. You may also join a bounty already trading and still get insulted when it comes to distribution of rewards. Some hunters can attest to this with solid evidence. One thing is, follow your mind, go with  a good project and if it turns out good, then you enjoy. If it turns out bad, move on to the next.

A lot of coins with a large volume turned out to be garbage. And just lying around in your wallet and worthless. If possible, I try to choose a bounty from trusted managers or to see that the coin is already traded on the exchanges. Then this bounty company will bring something in the future.

We should not joining bounty that have too many reward because it may causing some dumps in the future.
Just choose a good bounty with medium reward but have a really good project and team, so we will get the token with value.

When I started participating in bounties, I just did any bounty I came across. But then, I changed my strategy when I realized that I had wasted a lot of time and that I should have been selective in the bounties I chose. Since then, I only selected bounties that are already listed or those from specific bounty managers.

I have already join so many bounties. But if the bounty will turn out to the scam, i really feel bored to promote that project again. Sometimes, our hardwork is not balance with the gained reward or not get anything yet.

Since 2017, not every bounty will bring money to participants, you must choose and analyze to be able to make more money from bounty. Currently bounty is much more difficult than it was then

The truth is that nearly all bounty hunters have learnt what you listed above but sometimes projects that looks not serious at the initial stage may turn out to be the one with huge reward. Its true that there are some bounty manager with good reputation but sometimes these so called trusted managers do find themselves in deep mess I.e managing of scam ICOs. Therefore, my opinion is that no one is perfect when it comes to choosing bounty.

Yes. I guess we all have experienced being scammed after putting lot of efforts in meeting the required post in every bounty but still end up receiving no rewards. I've also experienced working in a bounty where i think it will end up not meeting its soft cap but to my surprise, it has reached its maximum soft cap and end up giving huge rewards to all bounty hunters.

I don't participate in projects with large rewards,  that is a strategy to lure hunters into promoting their projects, most of this projects are scam, and some got to cut off the rewards. I just look into some few projects with reasonable rewards with good products.

yes, there are a lot of projects that are just deceiving so I have been very careful before joining the prize campaign.
now it can be said to be very small our chance to get a big prize is different from the previous year.

and sometimes I stop in the middle of the road in joining a project that I think has a small potential for success or I suspect the project is just cheating before I spend too much time in vain.

I dont trust all those big reward in this present IEO market, most of them had made a massive dump in value that one cant hold one-tenth of the reward they claimed, imagine most IEO with less than $10m hardcap planning to give out $1m, nothing can be more ridiculous. However, some reward are ridiculously from a 3 month campaign, $15k is low for 3 months, now after the token sale, distribution was postponed for 3 month, what is the explanation for the deprivation. Bounty hunter really are struggling to get reward lately

I think its not only about big amount in alocation but those who's handled the project. I mean bounty manager with big name and good reputation will attract more bounty hunter.

Your opinion is very accurate and helps to clarify the misconception that many of us had in this forum. At least until now, I had always tried to participate in bounties that offered large rewards, because to me, being just a Jr Member, I will never aspire to get as many stakes as a Hero Member, so I always assumed that having more rewards, I would have more possibilities to obtain some significant income.

But now I will be more selective in my search, and in the next occasions I will take your advice very much into account. Thanks for the contribution.

Three good considerations in my opinion. I agree on pepper number three, that taking into account the manager who manages the bounties project is one good factor. Because, the manager who receives the project is also much better at paying attention to the possibilities that he will get.

It is undeniable that there was a bounty that gave a big prize and indeed it was a good project, but it rarely happens, most bounties with big reward are ultimately not good

What is attract me to join bounties are the manager and the value of its project as well. I think big rewards doesn’t attract me anymore because the rewards is nothing. So from now on the important thing when I choose project which is have a value to people.  

Previously I also carelessly participated in the bounty. Everything I have in this forum is always there. But in reality everything was wrong, from all that I did not all pay off, even until now the project seems to have many dead. So now I prefer some good projects. Because with that certainty to get good results can be seen.

Don't worry, a lot of people did it too. Because we must already think if each project must be have value in market and then join before research about it. At past some project that i joined not have good price in market and i don't have any choice about it.

for allocation problems in my opinion, it is indeed a natural thing, it's just that I know the project that offers rewards from 1 M $ and above is mostly a scam, and for bounties registered in the market it is indeed a guarantee only if I follow it, I'm sure we only get less than 100 $ I think if you can follow the bounty duration which usually reaches 1 month but it's indeed worth to follow because it's clear and it's an alternative for those who don't get slot campaigns that offer weekly bitcoin rewards.

indeed there are many bounty hunters who certainly expect huge results, of course, there are no bounty hunters here who do not want to get big rewards, of course, we cannot deny that many altcoins are created that are worthless even some of them have never been registered in exchange , whether it is registered or not in the market and the coin will be able to rise high or not, it depends on the project team that handles it, and indeed we should follow and support the project that is certain.

I think you misjudged. that working hard in this field depends on luck and how we see the ico project we want to follow. as we know that in the crypto market industry it is anonymous and we are encouraged to be smarter and work harder in choosing projects so that the prizes are commensurate with our work.

You have held a wise idea for you. But for many, they have different opinion about joining bounty campaigns. For me, instead of joining already exchange listed projects, I would like to take risks joining brand new as there is high chance that I would get many tokens than the one listed. So I always prefer take risks.

All your points are correct these developers are using bait to attract more bounty hunters, but the way things are turning out in the bounty campaign, Bounty hunters are now shifting to coins that are already in the market, it guarantees payment, I have so many coins in my wallet that I cannot liquidate and these are coming from bounty hunting.

If you have a lots of time and you are willing to take the chance the idea also is good, joining new project and allow yourself to get more
rewards, if being lucky enough you'll be getting good amount of value in terms of rewards to receive if the project will be successful.

It feels like a weak point for bounty hunters ,the huge $$$ allocation attracts the eye and you would want to join and keep promoting the garbage project ,coins or tokens that are already trading won't have that huge allocation for bounty ,be wise

I also noticed that bounties that offers huge allocations are mostly scams that's why i avoided most of them because it's just a waste of time. I agree that with a reputable bounty manager the project is most likely to succeed and bounty hunters will be paid.

Low reward bounty doesn't mean you will earn the reward low too. If the project is good, then the token value will increasing later.
I saw some bounties in the past with reward above $1mil, were not able to achieve their hardcap, even the softcap.
The investors prefer to investing in ICO project which doesn't have bounty or have small bounty reward.

I think that you should not miss all the projects that allocate a large amount of money for promotion, sometimes there are worthy projects.

Participating in such bounty companies does not earn a lot of money

Have learnt this the hard way though.  Many bounties that promises to pay bounties above 500k$ are either scam ot a means to let hunters work for them for free. Its better to go for low budget but reliable bounties than the unreliable high budget ones

you become a very brave person when you dare to take the risk of joining a new project and not yet registered.
with their new concept it could be a very good project even better than projects that have been registered.
even though the risk of scam is certainly greater.

not always it is like you said. I know a lot of people who participated in the bounty with high reward and received very good money

what I learned from the bounty so far is that there are many ICO projects that fail to reach softcap even though the team is good, the project is good, but investors are not interested in investing. most bounty hunters see the allocation given.

1. I know about this, yes, most bounties with large allocations are indicated as scammers. When I analyze a bounty project, I always set a total allocation of no more than $ 1,500,000 and the rest will definitely be garbage.
2. So far I have never followed a bounty whose token has already been exchanged unless the payment is btc or eth, the average bounty is that the payment with a token that has been listed is low.
3. Yup the manager is the main thing I see, I also have a reliable manager and on average I follow projects from him.

The fact is that even though the project reaches a difficult point, it does not guarantee that we can make a profit.
so we really need to be smart in choosing projects because sometimes the projects we ignore are actually projects that are finally developing well.

The same logic is used for selecting the marketers and bounty hunters in the online business sectors. These points are actual till today, so instead of moaning searching the potential projects is the only exit from this trap. Projects are no more profitable in the downtrend market conditions and they are also trapped to red market prices.

I agree that it is better to pay attention to projects with a small pool, but which are already listed on the exchange. But I do not agree that it is necessary to participate in 4-5 projects per year, in this case it is impossible to earn any significant amount.

Actually i'm just always to participate to those known bounty manager. But they have a time are luring us to those have some huge bounty allocation but in the end it was failed or success, But must better to be success because we can earn some coins on that than to failed and it will to nothing.

Not exactly, because it is better to have more bounties and be well diversificated in terms of job done to get new tokens into your wallet.

I also mostly stick to my favorite bounty manager and participate in those bounties that he leads. Well, if I really liked the project, then I also participate in it.

of course even if that bounty scam or not payiny, because big reward give more attract to hunter even if the price nonsense like above 1 milion $.
i dont know if bounty above 1m$ give paying or not,but always got many participant, big reward doesn't mean you will got paying.

There is no guarantee here, yes it is good to listen and learn from what a lot of persons have to say but always make your judgment to be final, use your instinct, nothing is absolutely guaranteed, what works for a particular period of time may not work later on, not all already trading bounties are profitable, a lot are just paltry sums, I had a bounty that I had felt was already trading and the period before their allocation they dumped more than 1000 times to its fallen value, Imagine someone that was promised $100 may not be able to receive up $10 that is if it doesn't dump further after distribution

For bounties that already have a market, it is indeed very good except that if you just follow it, maybe you will not get enough rewards, unlike the bounty that uses the stake system even though I know it is 50:50 likely to succeed, but the reward offered is enough not bad if the project was successful and until now it is still worth it in my opinion for a bounty that uses the stake system.

I have not seen anyone answer why most of this projects never get hunters rewarded, some even in 18 months. Sometimes I see it as been planned by all ICOs and sometimes most of them do not want to sell the bitcoin collected in the market to start the project to benefit from the bitcoin rally.Project listed rarely get pumped also

What you are saying is very true and I think it's a nice advice to all bounty hunters. We are sick and tired of promoting shit projects all in the name of expecting higher rewards.

All your points are valid and true. Shockingly most hunters haven't paid attention to these. It is better to join legit bounties that offer less than to work for more than two months, in some cases, and get nothing.

most of the scams projects promising big rewards for their campaigns.. if i would see such kind of project i would not even check their thread  ;D ;D ;D it is scam  ;D ;D

In the past, it's ok to have this huge stakes because we have great projects and they really create value in the market, but now those hundreds thousands of stakes seem worthless I myself received over 100k of a token that I've promoted and that value only amount to $15 and I'm glad that I dump it is now worth zero in the market.

I am also a victim of that illusion. When the bounty was began, the manager indicated that 5% of the total budget will allocate in bounty programs. In fact, I am happy when the bounty ends because I am only the member participant and 50% of allocated budget in signature campaign will my reward. But 2 weeks after it ends,it becomes 0.5%. What a great disaster for me. I thought I already a millionaire but it goes nothing.

There are more than enough bounties out there to participate in but it takes the hard working person and those who take time to research and learn to notice a good project which most times already have products and some also trading. Not all projects uses huge stake allocations to lure bounty hunters to promote their projects, some really pay as they say.

Don't pay attention to huge bounty pools. Better think about product and value of each token. Better have less tokens but liquid token

personally i am not 100% huge bounty pool.often its value decrease alot when listing in market.cause its huge  pool many bounty hunter in hurry to liquid it in bitcoin or fiat.maybe bounty pool like harmoney could b our choice.

When it comes to bounty, reputation is of utmost importance. Gone are the days that bounty hunters should be deceived by mere pool.
It is no more about the bounty pool and those that can be easily deceived will be newbies. Most especially those who feel bounty is still very much lucrative. Things have really changed.

That reputation might help you to choose a legit bounty, but that does not guarantee you'll earn a good reward.

If it's deceiving, that will affect the reputation of the project, and with bad reputation, that would affect the coin or token performance when listed in exchange. Like I said, the main concern now is how are the bounty hunters earn a good amount as promise prior to the sale when it will dump when listed?

Just stick to the bounty managers that are trusted ones in order to receive your satisfactory rewards. Bounty allocations are just an imaginary assumption, even when the bounty allocation is so huge, it is not an assurance that you would receive much more rewards since majority of the tokens drops their prices after being listed.

The scam project has similarity with the legit project, they won't give a difference because it will make every bounty hunters suspicious of the project they are running. So as bounty hunters will be fooled if you only look at the distribution of the stake to be distributed and this is not recommended. Bounty hunters must be careful about distinguishing between scam projects and legit projects, not just judging from the payment side. I'm sure when the bounty hunter gets a small amount of payment but he chooses the right project, he will get a profit and maybe the profits will increase when the project is sold in the market.

sometimes it is really annoying if at any time the gift manager can change the budget allocation that will be given to the people who participate in it, while in the regulation there is no notification if at any time budget allocation can be changed. therefore before we decide to participate in promoting the project to be launched, we must be able to choose a trusted manager who certainly has a good reputation from the success of previous projects

In my opinion, many projects make bounty hunters pay attention to them by hanging a large sum of money with their tokens but the value of the bonus is very low when it lists. so selecting a project and learning it thoroughly will ensure more payment and avoid participating in a scam project.

assessment of the project before joining the bounty we must do it a lot of bounties come every day and not all have quality, depending on our skills so that we get profit from bounty

big allocation or famous bounty manager is not a guarantee that project will be successful, the most important thing is to look at the product and the team that is in it

most project managers are found of luring bounty hunters to promote their projects promising huge allocations which they end up not fulfilling. To me I deem it a great honor of my precious time to work or promote projects that are already trading with bounties but less allocations. With such, you know at the back of your mind you wont end up holding a shitcoin.

Indeed, I am interested in joining in a bounty campaign if the bounty manager is good. Besides that, the project itself was very decisive for me to join and promote. But if it's already trading in the market, I will definitely join to promote because it must be a good project

I've seen some bounty allocation as high as $1 million, but this is not realistic because the token is not yet in the market and it's just a speculation price, without a guaranty that the price will be traded at that price, if you are an old bounty hunter you know that this is not a realistic price and you will instead look on the project, rather than the price.

They followed the trend in the past, and I've seen some of these bounty reward working in the past, but when bitcoin dump, things changes.
I believe the team can give the reward if they can raise a good amount but having a problem now with lack of investors, even if they put more than a million, bounty hunters already understand they'll not gonna make a good reward as the tokens might not sell at ICO price.

I was a victim of this thing when bounty hunting wasn't anymore lucrative and some bunch of bounty managers started cheating bounty hunters. The pool allocation is just a figure which is written there so I do not believe in this either. It is just to lure us into doing their advertisement for them.

It's as if bounty hunting has met it's end. I can count more than 50 bounties I took part in since last year and as of today there are yet to pay. I think it's time to move on.

I do it already. I am also stick to my bounty manager during past years. But because of continuously unaccomplishment of his bounty campaigns, I decided to go away from his bounty. Though there are trusted bounty managers, we cannot deny that they also have got scam projects.

I want to talk about this. I would prefer bounty with a small allocation but it is real or certain. Compared to we are happy with a large allocation but in reality the bounty does not pay even the project dies. If the large allocation and the project are good, that is a profitable thing for me.

Every time I'm hunting a project campaign, I saw that some of them are really deceiving, they think that many of the bounty hunters are stupid. Although, I can't deny that there are lot of bounty hunters are not reading and making research properly. Just like what I saw it has a millions of allocation for the bounty project but when I found out the price they have for the ico and computed it it was only 14k$ then the duration of the running project is 1 year, then I said to myself that project is so stupid and not transparent. So it is an advantage if the campaign managers have a good reputation and the project has an exchange already in the market.

I saw a lot of projects that are like that if you looked at the rewards than the project you will likely deceive, this price is all nothing because people have proven that the market demand is the one that will dictate the price of the token.

This is indeed a serious problem when ICO projects offer exorbitant bounty rewards. In the current realities, bounty payments in excess of $ 1 million are practically impracticable. In my opinion, one of the guarantees for the payment of bounty rewards is to participate in them through such sites as Bounty0X. So, in the spring of this year, Bounty0X successfully paid bounty rewards for such platforms as Serve and Quant. In the coming days, NOIZ tokens should arrive.

I think a lot of Bounty hunters are wiser and know actually what is obtainable, it may not be feasible for projects to be able to pay huge as promised, infact I ignore such projects at this time as a lot are based on expected fund raising which is mostly not feasible. Hardly does any project raise a reasonable amount through public sale then why promise to pay an amount that is way much what can be raised via those via sales

Few ICO projects are able to keep the price of the token at the ICO level, not to mention the price increase. Therefore, you should not expect big earnings in the bounty campaign. They can promise anything.

Is there really bounty campaigns that are already listed in exchange? If so then what project was that?. Also when you join bounty campaigns, the project is still uncertain to get listed on any exchange unless they are successful in their crowdfunding.

My strategy is to keep abreast of reputable bonus managers. Because before choosing the project to manage, they definitely had a preliminary study of the project. Next, I choose projects where their currencies are listed on the exchange.

well its a good strategy and it the best thing to do
as of now i prefer STO bounty some of them have company already and in term of development i think the risk is lower than other campaign
can you share who the reputable bounty hunter your talking about?

You're right! In the process of working in the bounty, you begin to adhere to certain rules. Of course, now the big rewards look like something doubtful, but the fact is that there are no such bounty principles, because almost no one can collect big money now. Very well you do when you choose a bounty, the tokens or coins of which are already being traded or are about to run your IEO. These bounty more chance of success. But one should not forget that there are bounty that are not attractive, but in the end they can have a working platform and a liquid token. With regard to the number of bounty, here we must proceed from its capabilities.

Most bounty reward projects usually end in fraud, both investor fraud and bounty hunter fraud. therefore I avoid a number of campaigns that allocate large and unreasonable reward bounties.

gift managers can sometimes be an attraction for bounty participants. they can be one good way especially with a good reputation. I sometimes take part in one manager's project with 2-3 projects and that can provide appropriate rewards.

Yes, indeed, now it is very difficult to find a decent bounty campaign because of the huge amount of rubbish. But still there are projects worthy of attention and from which you can get a good reward.

we cant deny the fact that we are always attracting something big or a very good amount of rewards after our tasks end. But sometimes its a wasting of time knowing that those rewards maybe its a out of value.

How many times I've seen big rewards Bounties end into scam,they use only big allocation to attract bounty participants to promote their project after the ICO ends they are not paying their participants and declared scam,much better to participate a project that is not giving big allocation and also a campaign that is listed already in the exchanges to avoid scam projects.

Bounty hunters have to be wise, big allocation doesn't mean big earning, the large amount could be a load of shit at the end of the campaign.

I agree, we need to be wise as we are spending time and effort in bounty hunting, a just team would not give a big amount of bounty as they know it will affect the future of the project, it's first impression to the investors is very important but with huge bounty, there's a huge chance of dumping.

Every bounty hunter should do his/her own research before joining a bounty. But i agree big payment wordings are usually end up being scam or dead projects.

It is always recommendable to join the projects that are worthy of joining bounty campaigns and worthy of investment. There is a trend in the market of allocating a large amount of bounty rewards to attract bounty hunters and investors. But what will be done with a large amount of tokens that turn into shitcoins upon hitting exchanges?

actually not all like that. sometimes even a small bounty with a payment is the same as a scam. all depends on the project that runs and the team behind them. it's hard to find the best, but we still try to get it.

There are multiple things that you would need consider in joining bounties, though not all of it will be the same as the OP have mentioned. For instance there are many bounties from 2017 that have a large bounty reward that are still in the market after 2 years. There are also some bounties that even though that they have value in the market the bounty will still not be successful.

Well i can't deny the fact that those big bounty reward are not very tempting just by seeing the amount they are willing to part with, but sometimes this big reward are not realistic in most cases while in few cases those high reward paying bounty could actually make you good amount of money, but just like the op has pointed out not all high paying bounty will yield good result at the end of the campaign.

Actually bounty hunters can understand and suspect any bounty project that is indicated to be scam through the number of allocations, but I don't know why they are still forcing to join such a stupid project.
And one more thing, in my opinion, the bounty project that has a stock exchange has a smaller prize value, but it's rather than getting a scam project.

Unfortunately, there are not so many bounties that are already listed with a good trading volume or even paying with ETH or BTC, maybe one from 100. So I would suggest to do a better research to find awesome projects.

Gone are the days when big rewards attracts most people, as most turns out to use bounty hunters without paying them or rather coming up with flimsy excuses.
Nowadays, what counts is the project itself, what it is offering and the team behind it. Most especially, the bounty manager also matters a lot. This is because, a good bounty manager will always try to ensure its participants are treated fairly.

it will be of good help if you can kindly list the group of bounties manager that you do follow, so that we can join you also.  Thanks in advance

I now consider the track record of bounty managers with credibility before joining a bounty. Bounty managers with high rank has a lot to lose if he is involved in series of scam projects. Some managers are so selfish and don't do proper negotiation for better reward. 1-2% of project is not too much for bounty reward
