Bitcoin Forum

Back in 2017 I never knew there is anything called bounties or bitcointalk forum until 2018 when I came across a PDF that says it all about how to earn coins promoting projects so since then I decide to give a try ,since 2018 now I've been promoting some projects and I've gotten paid via the project tokens but in reality I haven't been able to earn a dime ,they keep postponing when they will get listed on exchanges ,the PDF never talked about how long this always takes ,just imagine if bounty is all I got I would have starved a lot ,bounties long things and it can easily make one give up promoting them ,its always one delay after the other

No one will giving suggestion to make bounty as your primary income. You can take a chance to get free coin from bounty, but dont hope to much from this jobs. I have same experience with you about postponed payment or even not paying by dev teams.

In conclusion.
Bounty can be give you lot of money if you work for good projects. But, you need primary jobs for your income. Bounty just for your side jobs. Research is important before you join a bounty projects.

DYOR

Involving in bounty campaigns by leaving all your work or regular jobs will or should never be an option. We must consider the fact that we should not entirely be dependent on bounty campaigns for a living. Why? because crypto projects launching bounty campaigns cannot be trusted fully as there are some fake crypto projects placing their traps to scam investors and bounty hunters. 

Where you got that PDF? did you bought that PDF file from someone who's been telling his audience on ways to earn money online? Bounties aren't really stable source of income, it's just an incentive offered by those projects in the forum.

Mostly yes but if you do your research better, there are always better choices. In recent days I have not met any of the better ones but there have always been bounties we knew would be better.

Never depends on a single income, and being a bounty hunter is not that profitable unlike the past years. We have to look for more good sources and remember that bounties took so long before you get the value of your work. Its your choice anyway, and no one will tell you that being a bounty hunter is a profitable job so depend on it. Trading is more possible but not as a hunter.

Sadly, in 2017 the same activity number you have now (252) would've made you a Senior ranked member. My point being that 2017 was a better year generally for the crypto industry and those who invested, unlike now.

Anyway, that aside, bounties have become somehow worthless these days because of what shitcoins the rewards later turn out to be. But sometimes one can get lucky and run into worthy rewards if one exercises patience. Yesterday, the market was agog in what looked like a pump of the BTC2 coin doing over 5,000% rise from less than $0.60 to over $36 within a few hours yesterday. It was crazy. Imagine anyone here who participated in the bounty here last year and had like 200coins. That's huge profit, isn't it?

I can not agree with your experience. I believe that bounty campaigns are a very effective way to earn cryptocurrency if you can not invest money

For now the prize campaign is not profitable. The results obtained are not in accordance with the time of promoting the project. Need patience and must be careful when participating in campaigns. How many times have you taken part in a campaign in the past. If this is just your job, I can't blame your regret.

Being a bounty right now is not recommended because most ico project turning to scam its hard to find a gem or a legit project that have intension to create real product in other word being bounty hunter is not a kind of primary source of income its better to stay on your real job. Just make being bounty hunter as a extra income to pay your expenses.

First of all no one on this world (crypto world ) have said that bounties can be a reliable source of income because its simply not reliable , there is no assurance that you can get paid  plus the paying time ( if ever you got paid ) is pretty long ( its 3 to 4 months or longer including the actual pay time ) to be exact  .  bounty should only be consider as a hobby because its still critical if you consider it as a sideline job

Gone are the days when bounty hunters could earn thousands of dollars from promoting ICOs. Today even distribution of tokens is an issue and hunters are being banned from telegram groups for asking about token distribution in such groups. Those who would distribute the tokens too fail to list them. Don't join bounties expecting returns from it else you will get disappointed

Bounties can be useful as a small source of crypto income, but you should never rely on them. Bounties are for new projects, which almost invariably start with prices dropping considerably when they hit the exchanges.
I think a better approach is the long term one - only perform bounty activity for those projects that you think have a long term future, and then hold your coins for a few years as the project develops.

When there was a delay in payments, of course we as participants could do nothing but just wait. So from that it becomes too hopeless in just one bounty. Maybe we can look for income from airdrop, trade. Of course by doing everything. We will get more income because we don't just hope on one road.

You are right that bounty is not a reliable source of income, but you can still make money in bounty companies. I learned about the banuti in August 2017 and when I understood the whole perspective, I began to study and participate in the bounty. In that period of time, all the bounty were successful and I was able to earn money in everyone, in 2018 there was a recession and a lot of scammers or unsuccessful bounties began to appear. I had to choose more carefully, but unfortunately even good selection did not mean success for all the bounty I chose. But if you look at the picture of bounty in general, then you can earn now, just not as much as before.

Yes, it will still depend on the project you're working but if you just do full time on being a bounty hunter, I think you should have more extra money to spend for because your income here is not fix and not will come to you everyday. Bounties is a good source of income, but not always if you got lucky and found a better project then you celebrate but if not better to find a decent job.

It's very difficult to get bounty and too big risky so when looking for a bounty that you will be sharing it just try to search it carefully before you go along because many scam bounty has spread so be careful in choosing not to waste your effort like the bounty.

well you are late to join in the crypto world, 2018 was bearish market and many ICO's was failed that time, it was not profitable unlike 2017 and I agree that bounties is not good as a source of income, but good for extra income.

Participate in the bounty campaign only when you are free and catch a good project. Because most of the current ICOs fail or prices will fall very deep compared to the ICO issue price. I participated in bounty campaigns from 2018, the amount I could earn was very little.

I joined Bounties via bitcointalk in the late 2017 and was surprised my first pay ended my with 600 USD just doing twitter campaign. But today, I can do even a whole three months campaign with signature and the payout won't even get to 100 USD even if they will get listed on an exchange. I do it now just for fun and a learning process in crypto but not for income.

Bounties are gifts don't expect more than that, we all have felt something similar even trapped into a circle of falsehood or shitcoin token etc. It's better to look for a more mature job than having to expect a gift from several products, the result is't in accordance with expectations like that the comparison maybe honest products only the remaining 25%.

Do not be too serious about this because it is very wrong to consider gifts or something free as a very profitable source now, because this is where the ICO era is in a bad situation the number of frauds everywhere depends on how to choose a project, do not fix one thing because it is very risky for someone's life, there are still many more profitable than waiting for an inconclusive gift.

Exactly. Bounty is not a reliable source of income, but you can still make a money or profit being in the bounty companies. Especially when you are promoting a very good project like dencoin tokens and many more. Just began to study and participate in every bounty which van supervise a good whitepaper and can give its participants a good investments. So in that period of time, all the bounty will be successful and we can able to earn money for everyone who was in the bounties.

First of all, don't make the bounty your main job, I myself am a bounty hunter but have never made it a main job, bounty is just a side job.
Indeed, delaying payments at bounty hunters often happens, sometimes developers have many reasons for that. This has happened since 2018, since scammers are rampant in this forum where investors go and many ICOs fail.
My advice is if you make bounty the main job, then follow a number of bounty campaigns, such as twitter, facebook and don't adhere to just one project.

Why don't you look for a bounty who pays in BTC?
There is no mistake, most of honest campaign pays in BTC

Everybody has their own experiences when talking about bounty and the rewards. If you have been doing bounties and haven't earned from it, that means you have been going for the wrong ones.

You are right and it's really difficult to rely with just doing bounty alone as you source of income but I knew one person who made her life quite well by doing bounties and her life standing now is much better as compared previously when. As for me what I do is just to take my time doing bounties I try accumate tokens from reward, who knows someday i will just see treasure in one of my crypto wallet.

choose a bounty campaign is same with choosing a project to invest my friend
its easy but hard, because we should learn all about the project and we need more time to do that before decided to join the bounty or investing in the project

If bounty was a reliable source of income, I'm sure a lot of people would stop working and become bounty hunter!

Well back in 2017 i was full time in bounty and i do earn a lot of money through it, but yes right now , its not worthed anymore to full time on bounty but who knows, i do believe in 2018 there is a bear market that makes all ICO hard to earn money and the market seems to push the price down. I still have a faith in bounty but i do not recommend to do it full time, just do bounty as your side job not the primery one.

I participate only in signature bounty. Yeah, back in 2017-2018 it was extremely profitable, but now it is like for fun.
I don't count on this source of income, just wasting 30 minutes each week and that's all

For me, bounties are not the main one in seeking income. But bounties are one of my sources of earning daily income, because bounties today are very much different from those of the past.
In the past year, many of the wages obtained have no price, this could be because the price of the platform has declined.

Bounty is somewhat reliable if am asked. I know I have had to make a lot from bounties this year. Its good you start looking deep and join reputable bounty groups for good bounties so you don't have to waste time on shityy bounties.

Extra if you will be able to get into a good project that will pay you good rewards but if not then it will be just  a waste of time, bounty as side job
and don't lean everything as it will not always profitable just keep trying and working with it.

That is why when bounties were still profitable a lot suggested to quit jobs and focus on being a bounty hunter since it came to a point that they were indeed good and brought good profit but after the bear market has taken place everything has died down. I was thinking that it was good I didn’t leave my job to get full time in cryptocurrency particularly in bounty hunting, if I did, I would have been dead a long time already.  ;D

That is true and most of the people here already know that. Bounties take a lot of time in order to finish and there are projects that don't give their tokens right away if the bounty ends. I have joined two bounties and both of them gave their tokens 2 months after the bounty has finished, and the earnings sometimes are not enough to sustain the needs for months. So clearly, doing bounties to live is just not enough.

Nowadays, there are few bounty companies that pay well and honestly, because many of them do not pay, sometimes pay very little or pay with coins that are not worth anything

Yes, that's true. Bounty campaigns last year and this year is far more different compared last 2016 and 2017. Treat bounty campaigns as extra tasks and extra income. But, don't expect too much since there are some that do not pay right away. Better to have a regular source of income such as trading.

or you can simply have some kind of work for fiat money for those who came on the cryptocurrency market, not a long time ago. and do not immediately quit from your job when you knew about bounty

some people who have been in this forum for a long time may have benefited so much that they are willing to quit their jobs and turn to bounties. even some of them have also been able to establish real businesses from the bounty. this is the reality. but for beginners with results that are still small I think working bounty will be better for the side.

Bounties are not even an income,its just incentives it may be recieved or not as well.

Bitcointalk gained popularity in 2017 where people coming here for making money but it doesn't last too long.Now people can barely make money from bounties.

So better use online forum for learning rather than using as source of income.

Yeah! you are absolutely right doing bounties nowadays is just associated with luck. meaning if the market is not favorable the ICO wont prosper. why i am saying this? thats because in reality most of all the bounties are just speculating including its pool budget that was base on ICO tokens price, but when it landed on exchange the price was sucks, and very far from reality. But exemption was applied for those already listed tokens/coins on the market since the price of its token/coin is already establish.

I never saw the bounty company as the main source of income. Yes, in 2017 they brought tangible income to the family budget, but still I was engaged in them in my free time.

Absolutely, doing bounties nowadays is just associated with luck.  So it means if the market is not favorable the ICO it wont be prosper. But exemption to this was applied for those already listed tokens and coins on the market since the price of its token and the coin are already establish. But we cant say that bounties aren't a reliable sourve of income because if the project was good like the dencoin tokens it will be probably reliable source of income to every investors.

Well, over the past one year or so you couldn't rely on bounties, as there have been a lot of scam projects, so if you participate in these projects you don't have any chance of earning money.

Bounty is not persistent source of passive income, anymore. But it was. Even airdrop was a nice and easy way to earn from crypto. Tgere was Numerous scams, fake icos, fake projects and bounty hunters were not paid. Even now, I am waiting to get paid from many campaigns abd I am not sure if I will ever get paid fron those campaigns.

maybe youre participated on fail project (even their bounty program success finished and made a payment), but the project itself was fail and dead, so actually your rewards was useless, but in 2017, personally i got huge amount of $ with doing many bounty and airdrop program, 2018 sure was a nightmare.

Do not expect too much and rely on income from bounty campaigns, because there are some of the bounty campaigns that are not as expected, whether it does not pay, the price falls and not listed on the exchanger is normal

I have real work in my life, bounty is just another income and hoby for me, when you enjoyed something in your work , it can be a positive energy and make your work fun..

yes, you are right, for now its hard to find a good bounties mate
and for me the best source income in cryptocurrency is by trading my friend
so, if you have enough capital, i think its better for you to start trade on cryptocurrencies

It badly you are in the wrong timing and 2018 is the start of a huge market crisis where almost bounties and ICO programs turn into a scam.
But as crypto market is still alive, we can make any conclusions that it will stop from dreaming and hoping that one day that everything will change and any scam activities will go forever.

too many imprecisions in this kind of earnings. people can’t lose their money here but they can lose a lot of time working to promote a scam project

Yes. I think bounty is an indirect investment from the work you complete and receive. Similar to investing money directly into this market, the risk of bounty is that you need to face and overcome fraud projects to receive bread samples if you don't want to waste time. It certainly does not guarantee you a stable source of income.

Making bounties as your primary income is not a good idea. If you talked about it when 2017 it makes sense. But for now, i think you will be starving if you do so. The market is not stable yet, so many projects wont give you profitable investment.

of course those who promote a project scam without getting paid will certainly be very losing time, also a little of their money for internet bills that are needed. therefore, consider the bounty to be a job.

Indeed this is the reality the bounties not pay like happen on 2017 and are not a good source for income, people should try another way to get money and maybe will find a better way.

For now? NO! Bounty is not a reliable source of income since most of them are not legitimate and some of them are failed project also there are times that the project won't pay the participants or would just ignore it after the promotion of the project and there are times that even they give the coins it might not be listed on any exchange or the price of it is not worth the effort of what the bounty hunters give during the running campaign.

It is true that this gift cannot be relied on 100% to be a definite income for us because this gift is not all successful and has great benefits, so we must have other jobs besides doing this gift activity

You have a good choice, where you can get income from two jobs that I think are equally productive. because sometimes there are those who are tempted to give up their jobs because they have already gotten big money from the bounty.

Making bounties as a source of income is not a good idea because its quite difficult to get reliable or good bounties to participate. There are lots scam.bounties around and need to be careful when joining such bounties. You've got to know.more about the bounty before going along with it.

Bounty payments decreased dramatically compared to 2017 but its still a good side business for most of us. But you are right about the reliability because lots of projects turned out to be scam in 2018 and 2019.

I think this year is better, because some projects have also succeeded in bounty sales and payments. maybe the selling price of the reward received is not appropriate because there are many coins that go down very far after the bounty distribution is done.

Bounty is a good source of additional income.
This system is not designed for a regular job that will give you a regular income.
Though the payment here is not fixed and sometimes you can get more than a year payment on your regular job.
Still, this one is recommended to be an additional source of income.

Just hang in there ,many projects are useless projects its your call to do better research on any bounty project before promoting ,there are other factors that leads to guaranteed success of new projects this days ,DYOR

If we talk, for now, I don't think that bounties will be a reliable source of income because the situations change from the last year and we are difficult to make money from bounties. Maybe the trend changed and now, I think IEO will be the next source of income because I hear that some people can make money from IEO, but I don't know if that is true or not. So you need to find out what is the new way which you can use as the source of income.

Over last year of participation in bounty, I received payment only 10% of total number projects. 90% remaining projects delayed payment or refused to pay. The coins I received for bounty now several times cheaper than cost of ICO, it can be said that I worked for a whole year for free...) But bounty is not my main job - this is just a hobby...)

I understand your pain,bounties can be very frustrating some times ,its mostly like waiting  forever till make up your mind to let go,it happens to me in the past but know that good things don't come easily ,don't give up and keep looking for better projects to promote because better projects brings no delays

Bounties is far from regular job or regular source of income ,you should have understand this in the first place before you decide to start promoting project ,things have change a lot in crypto space since 2017 and what's left now depends entirely on luck ,hardworking is just a piece of it

Bounty should not be the main job, because it will make you miserable, I am still working to choose the original and the bounty is just additional work, if it is bounty like 2017 then all will be rich.

The bounties here are like a random number generator now. Not all bounties you see here are legitimately going to pay you for your efforts. Until we see IEOs doing success and how could it benefit the bounty hunters and make it a true source of income. Many people are frustrated already on scam ICOs that doesn't pay even a single penny that is why some people already stopped trying to earn here.

These are the big problems that bounty hunters are having. we are the ones who make their projects better and more well known. But when the project is completed, they do not consider us human beings. they consider us to be waste products and don't care about our interests.
You can see, we always face a lot of difficulties in getting our tokens.
I think we should not continue this work anymore, they do not recognize our efforts. It is really insulting.

What did you expect after reading the PDF file. If you thought it was an easy way to make money, then you were wrong. Now the situation has changed dramatically, and sometimes we have to wait for tokens for half a year.

It will be wise to have another complete source of income ,out of crypto space totally because in crypto world things might not always turn out as expected ,one minutes you are in gains and in a minutes later you are in lose ,crypto is full of ups and downs,you have to be full of endurance if your hope is only on crypto

Bounty campaign was a good source of income in 2017 because market condition was good also listing on exchange wasn't difficult those days, exchange are too greedy now a days therefore bounty should be an added source of income not only source of income.

Participating in bounties should be considered as a part time job because most of them delay in payment. But there are some good bounties out there that have coins already listed on exchanges. These bounties are very cool  to participate in. You can give those ones a try.

I think that there are still effective Bounty programs, for example, the Harmony project Bounty which recently conducted a sale of its tokens on Binance...

 due to the increase in the price that still holds on the X8 those who participated in the Bounty program can earn quite a lot

but at start bountypool was very small.

Bounties are real in crypto market but being a bounty hunter should wait for right project and even market   also favour for bounty tokens to get pump

Actually i want to find a job in the real life. But i will not make the bounty project be the main job, because i know because bounties can not guaranteed for the fixed-month earning. But i think bounty job will be better for the side job only.

It's not advisable to rely on bounties as a good source of income so yes I support the OP on its topic. It's bad to make bounty as a primary source of income as it's not guaranteed. To avoid feeling bad and heart broken, a hunt should have other sources of income

Bounty in General it is better to consider that the money may not come at all , because now more than one project simply does not pay the funds that you can live on

Because these projects don't really want to pay you, in 2018 is a year of down trend for crypto. Most ICO projects were unsuccessful, the reasons that made bounty almost no money

bounties should not be a reliable source of income. it's a kind of additional income that can help you in some difficult situations.

In this days a lot of failed or Scam project, but 3 years ago bounty campaign was really good, because their was few bounty hunters and good projects so promoters were paid good.
but now situation is different. I do not look to bounty as reliable source of income.

They can be a reliable source of income if you have more than one account. Armies of bots cannot be wrong.

There are people who made a lot of money on this forum farming accounts and joining campaigns before the boom in 2017. If you joined in 2016 and had no money  a year later you could have tenths of thousand of dollars out of nothing without investing anything but your time. Now with merit it's much harder but still possible if Bitcoin experiences another boom and you have a strong hand.

You're right. Bounties can still be a reliable source of income if you have numerous accounts but if you only have a single account to rely on, no doubt you will be starved waiting for your reward. Lucky are those who participated in bounties way back 2016 and 2017 because scamming is not yet rampant that time and that bounty hunters are still paid well.

Depends on how you involve in good projects. Though sometimes we can't get to know some bad project. It is better to get an offline jobs. Though they are still reliable projects.

Getting the tokens from the campaign owner is not so critical first and some of the campaign never pays to the participants. If this is the problem for the good ICO. Otherside, scammers are never pay or leave the campaign after they collected the fund from the few investors.

When there is a problem just to participate the campaign means how come people will consider it as part time source of income as well.
I will never consider the bounties are good source income because of this saturated marketplace.

Actually, if you are really interested in a signature or bounty campaign, there are some who actually get payment in the form of bitcoin every week, but indeed the value is not that big. it is true that the bounty should be used as a side job

I want to rephrase your title
Bounties is a reliable second source of income if you participate properly and make good and judicious use of your participation

Dyor and get the best projects to work upon

Bounties from previous years has good rewards which makes people think that working on bounty is more profitable than a regular job. Sad to say, scammers emerge and investors lost their confidence to invest on ICO that's why good paying bounties diminished. Therefore I would say that don't traut too much on bounty campaigns as your source of income or you will starve if you do so.

This is actually true. Bounty used be a big deal. Some bounties even paid in btc and Ethereum. It was something that was worthwhile and you can rely on it to an extent. But now things as changed, bounty is not what it used to be. You can't rely on bounty as a steady income, it will surely disappoint you. All you can do is to take Bounty hunting as a part time job.

It is true that the current state of the gift cannot be relied on, but it should also be underlined that not everything is like that, at the moment there are still some bounty projects that have the best potential, but we need to be very very careful in looking for them.

I also, like you, began to participate in the bounty since 2018 and also did not really earn anything except useless tokens, which are simply lying on the wallet and are not being traded anywhere.

Maybe it's not reliable income for you but for others bounties is a way to make a earnings it's really depends to the project that we participate. That's why it's really important to make a research before we participate in any project so we know if that project will be successful future in crypto and the crypto market.

Back in 2017,ICOs boom was everywhere, moon and Lambo kids were everywhere, the Bull run was there as well. What has affected bounty hunting is the bear season that has crippled ICOs. Projects no longer reach their softcap let alone hardcap. Everything dumps upon listing on exchange.

As a developer about to (re)launch a coin it's interesting to read about bounty experiences.  I'm not up to speed with how bounties work nowadays, is there a guide or reference point for types of bounties, reasonable bounty rewards, etc?

When bounty was especially popular (~ 2017), then it was possible to earn good money for participating in them. However, everything has changed and now it is only possible to earn a little.

why you choose Bounty for your main job ?
that is totally wrong mate, you can't depend in income bounty.
bounty campain is good for your seccond job not main job, because payment you get is uncalculate and never been calculated.
maybe 1 project you will get 1000$ and maybe 1 project you get nothing.

It really depends on what field you're going to join. There are different kinds of a campaign in each bounty and you can choose which part of it has a big allocation reward. But of course, you have to choose a good bounty that will surely pay you. For me, bounties are still a good source of income if you choose wisely. Try to join in an article campaign, youtube campaign, bug campaign, translation campaign or signature because those campaigns have a good amount of rewards.

hello mate! it takes a lot of patience to be a bounty hunter. especially when the project you join is as not as strong or fully constructed in the foundation of cryptocurrency. I join a lot of bounties but I earned less from what I expected, so I am telling you now mate on daily-life-expences basis bounty hunting is not a good reliable income. better look for a stable job and make bounty hunting a hobby. time will come you will reap all your rewards. cheers!

It really depends on your approach to bounties. I have been doing bounties since last year without any other job and i have been living comfortably.  Every month i have income from bounty so you really need to reconsider on your method of attacking bounty

For me bounties is a good source of money but it is a risky because a lot of scammers around and we need to be careful so much better to have a stable job that can provide our daily needs. I prefer bounties for other options of income.

It really is not and I thought that it's profitable when I joined various bounty campaigns, you have to be patient and wait for the coin you've promoted to get into the market, develop their platform and this will take a year or more to accomplish, not to mention the so many scam IOC that you have to deal with.

I think it's true that the gifts from the project are unreliable, because they all have their own consequences including the ico project. there are many processes that they have to go through to have a sale value in the market and take a long time. so I think we consider work in this sector as a side job.

There are a lot of risk factors while participating in bounties now. Some of them are:

1. The bounty duration may get extended before it ends.
2. The distribution may get delayed.
3. KYC may be made mandatory just before the distribution of the rewards
4. The coin may not be listed in any of the major exchanges
5. In case the coin gets listed, then it may trade at a very heavy discount.

As you can see, there are numerous risk factors in participating in an ICO. So my advice is just take part in them as a hobby and not with an expectation of getting a good reward. If you get a reward, then consider it as a bonus.

Yes it is a problem.But do not forget that in addition to the participants of the bounty listings waiting and investors.At the peak of activity of bounty companies there were a lot of participants.Now of course the excitement fell.You should not count on full-time work, and any member of the bounty (in my opinion) should have a main job that brings a guaranteed income.

For me bounties van be a good reliable source of incom. Why? Because its all about the project you were in. It wont become reliable if the project where you invest has its low investment quality. But when you invest in a project taht has a good investment to offer into every bounty hunter I can say that it can be reliable. As the market has a lot to offers in every traders and investors, there must be a good reliable source of income. Its just the matter of good project picking like the dencoin tokens which can benefit you in your future investment.

it's not reliable of course..I think that era also almost gone, that one where you promote any kind of bounties and still got a decent amount of $, yea I talking about the last bull run.

You can earn still but you must have an extraordinary skill to do that, like managing some bounty, making a high-quality article that posted at blomberg etc.

It is difficult to call a reliable source both bounty and trading, investment, referral programs. It is better to have a permanent job with a stable salary and at the same time to work in the field of cryptocurrencies, because such earnings are more like a hobby or a game than stable earnings.

What constitutes bounty hunting is now clear. In the future, at least to some extent, the golden time of the bounty may come again, as it was in 2017. It would be nice to determine the likelihood of this, to find out whether to continue to participate in this.

Yes, at the present time, generosity is not the best way to make money. It is better to trade on exchanges.

if the Bounty campaign maker makes payments to participants using ETH or USD I think the bounty participants will be enthusiastic but this is very difficult to realize because ICO does not want adverse risks.

The market is still not showing steady growth and most people still have not regained their confidence in crypto as an investment. I think the bounty's golden time won't be back for a very long time.

Even if you are going to participate in Cryptocurrency, it's better to have a stable work that gives you steady income because bounty campaigns or trading cannot for now offer you a steady income. So bounties are not a reliable source of income.

Participation in bounty companies is a personal matter for everyone and no one is forcing it, it can be said for me as a hobby, and I would not like to count on it as the main type of earnings.

Yes thats why I'm not doing participating in bounty as my primary work i put it as my sideline job but i have the bounty campaign that gives me a good income and thet can also give income in the investors if they will do investments so i refer this project to make investments the Dencoin tokens.

Yes bounties earnings are not consistent we all know that very well apart from this we should learn trading as well to earn regular income from crypto world but trading is also not a easy thing. I also came to know about bounties in late 2017 that time I made huge money but since 2018 till date income from bounties has been dropped drastically but in the last 2-3 months market is trying to revive again and I am hoping we will again make good money from bounties in coming months.

Actually we should blame fake projects/ scammer. Most investors already do not invest to a new crypto because they are afraid to be scammed regardless if the project is real or not. The main point here is, if there are no scam projects there are more investors who will always invest to a newly created crypto with a unique concept.

not make bounty campaign as main job because, payment from happen the fastest will be paid in a few months or in a quarter, and the revenue obtained from the current bounty campaign are different from the income from a few years ago which is now decreasing

bounty can be a major income if we really work hard and have skills, because if you just follow the bounty that many people do it is difficult to be the main income. you can improve your skills and follow a lot of quality work is enough for me

Bounty is a good tool for learning and familiarizing with the crypto industry. Yes, they are not stable and bounty can not be regarded as a source of income. You just got unlucky and you did not analyze the project.

I don't know what PDF you are exactly talking about but one thing for sure. The guy/girl who shared PDF with you might be selling something. Always do your own research. Bounties are good for side income. It must never be your 1st priority income.

Bounty campaign is reliable, but total dependence on it is what makes it bad. My experience with bounty has been good, in the sense that i have another source of income outside the world of cryptocurrency.
You need to get to a point where you should no be compelled into selling your when you are not supposed to. It noticed that most of those whose dump their tokens are those that do not have another source of income.

or it is done by those people in whose country $ 100 - huge money. I personally am not ready to sell the coins that I earned for a few months for $ 100

Just $ 100 for a month's meal is not enough, so I also won't want to sell tokens at low prices or even hold up for months, we must have a real job for our needs sufficient.

I think you had a bad luck, you started promoting bounties in 2018 and since then they are paying like nothing. If you go back in late 2017,bounty hunter have earned a good amount from project promotions, personally I eared around $12K for promoting a project for just 2 weeks. I think this is much more than anyone earning in a day job.Not only this I have earned good amount in other projects as well. Yes but bounties can not be treated as regular source of income, it may give you good amount in a short time for keep you waiting for long time in odd days. I have promoted many projects since July2018 but only received around $150 as reward from one project only, many projects turned scam. This is the dark side of bounties. I think the golden days wil back, keep your hopes high.

yes right, I'm also a bounty hunter and don't depend on bounty alone. other income such as trading, mining, faucet and also my daily work as an entrepreneur.

The Golden time of bounty hunters was in 2016, and in 2017 there were so many new hunters that the earnings became scanty.

And now, after a recession and normal projects are too few. In general, some problems. Perhaps today it is practically impossible to make a living here.

Participation in the ICO bounty companies should always be regarded only as a source of additional and non-permanent earnings. This should be like a hobby, where we can learn more about cryptocurrency and at the same time make money on it by talking on various topics related to cryptocurrency on the forum.
This type of activity is not yet regulated, and there are many abuses and deceptions. However, as a kind of earnings, it is still of interest.

No it is not like this at all, still in market there are some project that works to give us good income and they use to pay their workers honestly, only few projects are not good that pays low but all other are working well and giving their employs good money as reward for their hard work. Good earning only needs quality post to increase your rank in forum.

a good source of income in the crypto world for me is just trading.
The bounty is now almost in disarray considering what happened to ICO that has too many scams in it.

The problem is that we have so many companies coming out with projects everyday and most of them don't really have so much funds to promote this projects so they make use of bounties as a means to make the project known, so basing your source of income on a company that are not so certain about their future will be a crazy thing to do, it's best to check out other method of making money in the crypto sphere, though bounties are good.

Indeed, because the bounty is only a side job, and not to be used as the main job, if you think that the bounty will be your main job, then you are wrong

Yes, i do agree we shouldn't completely rely on bounties because we are seeing many scams in the market failed to find the best bounties. Which we need to work more than 4 months and sometime we won't get paid for the work we do, if we paid in token we cannot able to sell them in the market because of null value after listing in the exchanges.

For me i could say that bounties is not the reliable source of income since the market is not stable and sometimes the bounties that you participated in two months and you notice that was a scam so your effort and time is been wasting in other words.

bounty is not a source of income, for me it is a bounty but it takes time to promote the project and get results in the long run. bounty can be considered an additional job for me. don't assume anything more than a bounty.

It depends on individuals actually. As it is that bounties are worst off now, the truth is some people are still getting their soft cash therein, although it's not as lucrative as it use to be.

bounty companies can only be an additional source of income
since it takes a lot of time for the token to come out for a good exchange and the tokens are worth something

For me, bounty campaign was really reliable source of income, but being dependence with it is what makes it bad. My experience with bounty has been good in which getting good investment was realky great exchange of working in here. You just need to get to a point where you should no be compelled into selling your coin when you are not supposed to. We just have to make sure that we are in good coins holding like the dencoin tokens. And on the other hands, if we really need to have a good reliable income be om the project that gives a good profit like the dencoin tokens and many more to achieve a good reliable source of income.

If you really wish to have a reliable income do not just depend in one source. When you're working in bounties you might have a chance to earn than just having a sleep all day at home. It's a work that you own your time, as long as you have a time management. Millionaires did not wait for it to come they work smart for it.

I don't know if both
I don't know if its the same bounty am doing that you are talking about, I have no other job I do for now except bounty and I must say it pays really well. Do you research the projects you run your campaigns for or you just dig into anyone you see

There's no thing as a reliable source of income except your fixed salary. ICO bounties, campaigns are all temporary and maybe a fake source if its a scam. Bounties and campaigns are only an additional income since it is paid by your effort to earn money not related to your job. So if you want to have stable financial life, dont lose your job.

I can argue with you in this regard. This job requires a lot of time to earn money. Knowledge and time. If you choose your hobby, say YouTube, you can earn a lot more. So this statement is controversial.

Bounties are a great back then, some are paying with Bitcoin and other tradeable coins in the market, but it's not the same anymore my Konios stakes only got me $30 when I've traded it, and that's 3 months of campaigns I have a long list of coins coming from bounty campaigns that are all shitcoin it's just not worth and will not make a living out of it.

And then just wait until his experience comes to you, their statements are true and you shouldn't treat bounties as your source of income. It doesn't make any sense for having bounties as your income where literally the income is not that fixed and maybe you would get nothing.

True, bounty can sometimes be profitable but at other times, it gives nothing. So, relying on bounty without having a real job is not recommended. Daily job is a sure thing to get fixed income while bounty is just an effort to get extra income.

I definitely agree with you because these bounty campaigns now are not something you can rely on (financially). Honestly, I was one of the few people who left my job way back in 2017 because I thought I was earning more than my home-based job and focused on campaigns and investing on the money I have left. And then the scams were accumulating and I wasn't able to receive the coins I was supposed to get from campaigns or some was worth nothing. These bounties and campaigns are just an added bonus if you have a real job, because there are no assurances if you really could get something out of it. So for those who have a job now, don't lose them or you will regret them afterwards.

If you are not a resourceful person then bounty campaigns are not suitable for you as you need to study first the project before you will decide to support it.

That is the common and basic for bounty hunters, if you don't know how to do it then there is a big chance that you are only wasting your time in supporting the scam or useless projects. It's better that you will take your time to study first before engaging to something so you can avoid wasting your time because many of us in this forum who are earning a good amount of money from bounties.

It is really what you say. A bounty campaign cannot be relied upon to fulfill all our needs. We still have to have the main job to meet all our financial needs. Bounty campaigns are now not as potential as they are to make a profit. We have to wait long to get the results of the bounty campaign that we are doing. The wait does not immediately get results because a lot of the coins we generate from the bounty campaign have not been registered in the exchange market. Therefore, bounty campaigns cannot be relied on to provide benefits on a regular basis.

Ever since I registered to this forum in 2014, I have never taken part in any altcoin bounty campaigns. So I don't have any direct experience with them. I have always preferred signature campaigns, where the reward was either in BTC or ETH. And signature campaigns have been really good for me. I might have participated in at least a dozen of them, and all of them have paid me good rewards.

Maybe now they are not profitable and no bounties are good to promote but there are some bounties that can givesus profits like Dencoin tokens and we can make investments at this project because this project is good especially in the near future.

Bounty use to be a great opportunity for every bounty hunter but the value is depreciating due toblot of scam and the new ieo in town which has reduce the keel of confidence in bounty .

But those who start at early stage then really enjoy it when the start was still smooth and some are still good in other hand .

For now it is indeed very inappropriate to make bounty the main income. If we return in 2017, it certainly can be a bounty as reliable income. But right now it is not like 2017. Therefore it is not very appropriate for someone to make the main work bounty and make a reliable income.

Its true. During the early days when crypto are still new to the people, there is a lot of hype about it and so are bounties. They can really make a fortune out of it but today its very difficult. Most tokens nowadays are worthless and most bounty campaigns are ended up as scam.

the bounty campaign is getting less and less because too many participants also don't have many paying bounties. it made the fields to make money from the bounty became increasingly narrow. if in the past, the campaign might be a little, but the results will be greater.

of course, bounty are inappropriate as primary income, bounty is not as it used to be, each payment gets a lot and now there are a lot of bounty scam and I currently expect trading as my main income

Everyone knows it that bounties are not profitable like few years ago. But also investors do not have such returns like few years ago. But it should become again profitable as soon as new bull market comes.

I think that the bounty coins are worth to accumulate for the future, it is likely that some of them will be pump. But this is definitely not a reliable source of income.

Let's adequately look at the bounty company. Personally, my opinion it can not be the main source of income since payments from bounty companies are not constant and sometimes they are not there at all, and then you think, roughly speaking, you work for free. As a result, I can say that a bounty company can be an additional source of income.

Indeed, some bounties are like that even what I hate is that if they follow the bounty the project refuses to pay the bounty for various reasons and some even ignore it, and for now it's better to follow the bounty which has a short enough time (4-8 weeks) because most bounties it always pays don't follow the project which gives a very long bounty duration (more than 8 weeks).

Bounty hasn't brought people big income for a long time, as it was in 2017, I think now bounty projects are needed only for small earnings

I do not believe anyone here has made bounty his primary source of income, that makes it not reliable but the effort is worth it at times, not everyone is lucky to hit the jackpot, so it is with bounties, you may be lucky your efforts here may pay reasonably someday, a lot of those that made huge from bounties have used their funds for some meaningful businesses and trading while continuing and hoping for another good pay day.

Why should the project be listed on the exchange if the product is not yet ready. It is clear that this will be the fall in the price of the token.

For that problem, there is indeed a downside, but if the bounty is not the main source, maybe it is not a problem and we can think of it as an investment even though I know some projects will decrease in value over time because their development is not too significant.

Bounties is a maximum stress but that's doesn't mean that it does not pay, have some friends that have actually resigned for his work to go into bounty full time. He is determined and its paying off for him

yes that is indeed the thing that needs to be considered before joining this field. because every project in this forum is not fully reliable and only a few can pay and that depends on luck. until now I have not found a project that really pays like people say like in 2017, which is the year of super legit projects.

You do not need to participate in the bounty of too many projects before you can earn significant and sizable amount of reward. one of the most important factors is carrying out quality research before engaging yourself in any, so that you do not end up wasting your time over unnecessary bounty campaign, most especially those lunched by scammers themselves. It is what has lead to a lot of frustrations.

That is why it is one of the less difficult way to make income, just do a little bit of social tasks and get rewarded in any case. A lot of persons made thousands of dollars by just wearing the signatures alone, such opportunities does not come always but it feels good when one partakes in such and get rewarded. Bounty is interesting

Bounty is a reliable source of income only for those who participate in companies with payment in bitcoins. Everything else is tantamount to playing roulette.

Well ts not unusual to have rant like this because this is often the problem of most hunters when they participate in a project and got their rewards but didnt make it to be listed in any exchanges.

Its not advisable to treat bounties or any other opportunity here to be your main source of income because its not reliable just like what you said too.

Nowadays there are only few projects that are genuine and you can find it if you go through an extensive research.

Nice to hear from you mate, but it's too hard to find those direct btc payment these days because it was so fast to become unavailable due to more participants queing to be accepted. However, with those altcoin bounty campaigns even though it's not certain to be part of those legit one, I guess risking your time was the bottom line here. It's always a matter of trying and don't take it seriously to become as your sustainable income source, but consider it as your alternative ways of earning money as well.

But in altcoin bounty and that just like speculation when we get a good bounty campaign and the payment will be above the bitcoin signature campaign and take a look at harmony. HNC will be the next big campaign in the future.  ;D

Very true. You should not treat the bounty rewards as the major source of income in any angle of your crypto activities. It is not created to provide your main source of income but additional income to your already existing one. It is a sideline for users who know how to deal with crypto in various activities related to it. So nobody should be ranting about their income coming from crypto.

Now it’s harder to make money on bounty. But I don’t think that bounty is no longer an opportunity to make money. Just rewards have decreased but the competition has not decreased.

i will not advise anyone to make bounty his or primary source of income , although there are a few good bounties that still pay , a lot of times  hunters are disappointed because its either they are not being paid after working for the project or the project exit scam.

except unless the person does not have any other thing to do , then he or she can manage bounty while expecting another source of income.

Yes. There is too much risk in being a bounty hunter especially if you make it as your only source of income. You have to be very patient in waiting for your rewards because it does not really pay on time,and worst is that you have participated a scam one. But there are still bounty hunters who take risks and focus only on campaigns and some of them luckily got really big rewards.

Yes it's difficult to make money with bounties these days.

---

And although there are projects that still conduct bounties, most of them doesn't guarantee payment because of their condition that they'll be paying up at the end of their sale.

now aday very difficult to earn money from bounty campaign.its reward didn't same again with condition on 2017, where every months we could earn money more than $1k.but at current time its hard to do.

I believe bounties is reliable for source of income since this is now your real job and you can focus to find the good bounties that have giving huge of profit for you for the financial problem of your family, but it all depends of your strategy how to find good bounties.

Some people are of the idea that participating in bounty programs is the only means to make income. These are the people who normally gets disappointed in crypto when the bounties do not pay or delay with payment and begin to spread all forms of FUD. Bounty participants must have primary source of income which they can rely on each time irrespective of the market trend of cryptocurrency.

if we work on wrong projects maybe we will get nothing.no reward will distributed for bounty supporter or maybe its price very low.bounty reliable as job we have met some criteria.at least we have to totally work n all pool allocation and in much campaign.

Who said bounty is a work that you must rely on? It is not something you can regularly profit or produced income. Bounty is a promotional service where projects uses participant to promote from them, not necessary means paying you. But rewarding you in tokens and that tokens can give you money or maybe not. Thats a risk and cannot be compared as work. Find a real job and dont expect to earn in bounty liks a normal one.

yeah, it's hard to sweep our reward bounty to money. Just hold it and waiting what next project and what developer make it next. i don't thing it's just money for bounty, we got reward for try it to payment by payment.

it's really hard to search for a worthy bounty because in these days alot of bounty turns into a scam.

In my case I simply do bounties when it is in my free time and energy, a time that I have nothing to do about. It is hardly enough to make a living out of bounties, they just give a pennies worth of tokens. Well it is different if you have join a suited one, a bounty that pays you well and had funded the project, reached it hardcap and followed the roadmap. If you join a bounty like that with matching yuor rank in Bitcoin talk with a full member or higher and join the sig campaign,  you can also somehow earn a small fortune once and for all. I have experience this and got a 5,000 dollars all in all for a 3 bounties.

in my opinion, bounty companies can only be work for the future,
no one will guarantee that your time spent will pay off.

you can not expect that you will become a millionaire, it is unlikely, but some money you will have

maybe they are not reliable, but they are still useful. if you dont have enough money to invest in the market the one of things you should do is participating the bounty campaigns and hope that they will give you good returns from these campaigns.

Some people have the time to get along with the bounties and others are in the bounty with their livelihood and those who have quit their personal job to work in the crypto have these people crypto their source of income.

These days it is not even a form of income, more of a battle to claim when they refuse to pay out, and even then they are practically worthless. It's hardly worth doing anymore

I will not say that I did not earn anything from the bounty of companies, but I expected more when I came to this sphere, because I had heard about huge amounts of income, but then the rush around the ICO was at the final stage

the times in which every reasonably well built ico made a fortune are over.
and the same time also the bounty conditions and payments have become massively worse.
currently you have to be happy if it only pays off a little bit. we are far away from earning a lot of money with it.

You can probably say that bounties are not a reliable source of income if the bounty project you where in was not good. But for me, I can really say and I am so thankful to many good bounties like the dencoin that makes me deal with a good earnings. So for me, bounties are good and reliable source of income. Its just tje matter of fact, that if really want to have a good source of income. Be wise enough to choose good bounty projects.

There is no other way to earn free income in crypto space except promoting projects ,scam projects are the enemy here they makes crypto looks bad but its hunters call to be on the look out for more reliable projects

Bounty are complimentary income. If you are a student, it would be your pocket money. If you are a job holder, it could buy you a beer on your weekend. Bounty should not be looked as a source of living. You need to have a work to survive.
 

In 2017, it could have been a basic job but not for now. It's a very long time to get a good profit from any project. So far I've seen - Harmony can bring some good profit.

 

It really is not a reliable source of income, because the wait is too long, it would take at least 6 to 8 months before you'll see the fruit of your labor, and the worst part is after waiting that long you'll find out that it is way below the prize you have computed it to be, because it is 70 to 90% lower of its ICO price better promote coins that are already in the market, even if the price is not that high.

indeed, if calculated from the length of time we promote a project and wait until the coin is listed on the exchange, the income we earn is not reliable. but I think from the bounty we get a little capital to invest in potential coins (talking for the long term)

True talk, absolutely bounties are not a reliable source of income and can never be depended on but should that really mean we should sit idle and not participate in bounties too? hell no. Bounties are done on our free schedules aside our main jobs, you can't be relying on bounties alone to make a living, you have got to do a bounty for two months, wait for another before distribution of tokens, wait another two months before listing and who knows, you will go to the exchange site and the price will even be lower than the ICO price and if you really need value for your tokens, you have to hold for some months as well. Throughout these months, if you've got no work or job paying you, what are you going to eat? You will starve and die and leave bounties. Get a job and add bounties to it and you will never regret trying your hands on bounties one day.

See it as a prize game, instead of looking forward to earning money from it, have fun and maybe you will be surprised by the bounty

in 2017 there are many happy stories because we all can make $ 500 - $ 1000 every day through trading, airdrop or bounty and different stories like now that sometimes we join bounties for 3 months but only get $ 20 and don't even get anything so don't rely on money from the bounty so you don't starve

Everything depends from bounty, right? There are projects with cartoon characters pictures of their founders, developers, on other side there are very quality projects with very dedicated teams behind. My last bounty for IoTeX was great, now with Bitbond I think I`m on the right track again. Choosing good bounty is essential, spend some time researching before you jump in some bounty. Good luck my friends.

If the person is unemployed or jobless, I think bounties could be their reliable source of income, and besides nothing to lose if they try.
In fact, this is what I did before, I just got started here without any job. And up to now I survived and also all of my commodities expense was came from bounties which I got received profit in it and saved some of it also.

I disagree with you, quality research is not all that is required to land a successful bounty, remember some projects have had very good reputation and ranked very high but eventually the failed the expectation, here, one should not put all his eggs in one basket, do the research, try out the options available to you and pray you get lucky with the ones you choose

In that year, many people can make bigger money from every project. But now, it's difficult to make money from the bounties because many projects cannot get into the market and the tokens still at the mew account. Right now, we see the IEO that want to replace the ICO, and I see that the IEO have the chance to be the next potential income for all people in the cryptocurrency.

I do not know why anyone would want to depend total on bounty. Right from the start,I have always taken it as a leisure, because I never expected I was going to make regular income from it.
Anything that does not bring a stable and regular income, should not be seen as something to depend on.

stable income cannot be anywhere because you never know what can happen. but as far as bounty campaigns are concerned, this is really best viewed as an initial tool for cryptocurrency accumulation

i believed that you are strongly into bounty hunting. your profile shows a signature meaning that you are still hunting . you never can tell. there are so many hunters out there like you with hope that one day, a bitter coin will hit the market and make them proud.

I think nobody expects bounty as a permanent source of income. For me, it is rather a hobby and an opportunity to get acquainted with the world of cryptocurrencies

Those who value the bounty company as a permanent income are fools. Bounty program is a way to get your first cryptocurrency and the opportunity to learn the crypto industry.

I do not consider it as a bounty income as a source of fortune, but for side jobs and free time. apart from bounty also trading and working in real life.

That's right, the bounty should be treated as a hobby, but not as the main work. Do not spend too much time and effort on the bounty, better study or work.

I think many people do bounties as their extra income. because besides we can obey the hobbies of discussion and social media we can also get money.
but many people now only work from bounty and don't work in a real way.

basically being a bounty hunter at bitcointalk.org is just additional work besides the main job we have ... because working in the cryptocurency world is not determined by time ... it's just that we have to be able to complete every task given for each campaign we follow it .. so don't expect too much from this campaign prize ... but my own experience has been at bitcointalk since the beginning of 2017 until now I still have active income from various campaign projects that I follow ..

Previously, it was really beneficial to take part in the bounty, but now a very small number of projects pay reasonable amounts of money. Very often, companies pay mere pennies to bounty hunters.

Anyway, bounties is a good extra way to earn money. Of course, there are a lot of scam bounties but worthy one can give you a huge profit.

being a Bounty Hunter is not a mainjob, don't make this as a main job, because income from Bounty campaign it is uncertain.
sometimes we also are not paid because of the projects that we do scam or fail

ICO began to compromise itself in 2018. in 2017, it was a very good tool for making money. But now the ICO has died and I have lost hope for him. If you want to do a bounty program, I advise you to wait until the price of bitcoin rises even higher.

It is better to participate in projects that pay Ethereum , or bitcoin for bounty , but now there are practically no such projects , I think you can no longer participate in the bounty from the ico

You are very right about this, it is very suicidal to relay on bounty hunting as a main source of revenue or life, because the market is not predictable and most projects are presently using delay tactics to delay exchange listing to prevent dumping. A project might take up to three months before distribution and listing, so how would you survive till then.

Yeah that’s right. I think it will be profitable if we wait until the price of bitcoin becomes more higher than its current price. And nowadays I don’t see any ICO that make me so sure enough it will be successful.

It depends on your own research my friend. If you are only taking part in twitter campaigns with the lowest rewards by scam projects, it is so. But if you check the projects and searching for good campaigns, you won't have problems with income.

As of now im just worried in a bounty campaign because some of these bounty its worth to participate. If we came back in the pas year of 2017 ill think that's what I call a bounty because not all bounties on that time are scam. Actually it was worth to participate on that year but for now ill think we need to find a job for our income daily.

Yes because I tried bounty.Its been 1 1/2 yrs since I've done bounty.but still now waiting for the token to given to us.bounty is a good source of income but not reliable.what will happen to you if you keep on waiting for bounty.It doesnt give you a suddenly money.lets just say yes participate to bounty campaign but not expect too much that you gonna earn quickly money.still do some job that will do for you to survive for everyday need in our life.
Well I can say that I will still do a bounty campaign because if bounty campaign you participate is not scam you can earn money without investing money.just be patient for the result of campaign and its gonna be good for you to have token in return.

For me, do not join bounty campaigns if it is your objective as a source of income. You can do join bounties but as a part time only since cannot give you a much more profit. Joining bounty campaigns are not anymore profittable now unlike in the past 2 years that the participants are only few and the allocation would be devided into only few members.

You are not the only one who thinks that it is not a reliable source of income, majority of bounty hunters here treat bounty hunters as another way to make money online, but it should not be the main source of income, you'll have to wait for several months to receive your token and sometimes it will be stuck for 3 to 4 months before they traded in the market.

in my opinion you are wrong to assume that bounty is the main job that can make you able to earn big income and make you rich, because bounty is a job to give you extra income not as a job that gives you the main income, if you want to earn big income then I suggest you to invest in ICO or trading, because it will definitely give you big profits compared to you participating in bounty.

Yes, I agree with you, do not make a gift your main income because it requires a process that must go through a market that will be traded and takes a long time to be made into income.
having a permanent job is the right way to get reliable income, and make gifts as additional income as a savings in the future.

The prize program is not as beautiful as when Bitcoin was experiencing a glorious period, because there are now many ICO developers who commit fraud.
I am more convinced to succeed in the crypto currency business, having to trade both short and long term. As a trader, the focus is only one, which is to make a profit from the coins traded. It doesn't matter whether it's bitcoin or altcoin, because every coin that is predicted gives a decent profit to trade.

That depends on the month he join in 2017. I also joined Bitcointalk in 2017, August to be precise and despite the fact that I am a regular poster, I could not get a Senior Member rank. The ranking system was changed few days to my activity level to increase to 250. I think I am damn unlucky. Today I have over 600 activity with 100 merit and I am still a Full Member. Nobody knows what is going to happen to crypto in the nearest future and taking this bounty work as a full time is not sustainable for now. Not like before that you can make above $2000 for participating in a single bounty campaign. Amount allocated for bounty campaign now is what a single hunter get as a reward in few years back

last year ive earn about 11k usd from bounties, bounty is not a reliable source for income, but doing bounty for part time work is okey, if you lucky enough you will get good amount of money just from 1 project

Don't depends your income in joining bounty campaign or working here in cryptocurrency it has the volitility and you know how it works but if you are wise and csn handle this situation and ues it is a good source of income but always remember do your professions as priority works but dont leave cryptocurrency and continue to have works on it.

Of course yes but to the one who has no way of earning, I think it is cool to get yourself busy into crypto than trying to be looking for a sure way of earning.
Some of us are not relying on bounties as a source of money but it is far better than staying without employment

indeed do not ever expect a bounty reward as the main source of income, because in my opinion it is better to expect the bounty results as additional income or can also be used to increase capital for trading, for example, because in my opinion the best thing is that bounty rewards can be non-permanent and most are always drastically reduced.

yes that's how it becomes a bounty hunter don't make the main job but just a side job.
you can start trading who knows you are better off.

I think this is true. But we can work on stand by & get part Time income. It's not bad instead of nothing. I think so.

The bounty rewards I consider as a good crypto income without any investments. During two years I got a nice return. Just keep moving and getting more and more.

Bounties are good additional source of income but not a priority.
You can do bounties for your extra time and earn from it, but make sure you have your regular job to get your good and stable money income.

Yes, unless you have a bitcointalk account with a high rank or have a team to do social campaigns in large numbers, it's hard to get bounty as your main source of income. I think with new people, it should only be considered a part time job.

Never thought it could bring in good extra bucks. But i do see the need for crypto prices go higher .

It never was/is as an primary source of income.Most people not getting any bucks even after being a part of bounty campaign for months which is due to the failure of a project or it turned into a scam.

So when someone want reliable source then they need to increase their knowledge and find the better investment ideas.

bounties has never been and will never be a source of income. it is a menial job that can substain little expenses. you don't put your life on it as if it should be your major source of income. some are beneifting while some are wasting their time. some even spend much time on it.

It could be a source of income if its profitable, it's been profitable in the past but market change affects the profitability of the bounty hunters.
Based on my experience, bounty is good as I have earn a decent amount of money during the year 2016 and 2017, but 2018 onward it slowly decrease until most of my earn tokens I hope become worthless, but at least I was able to sold some and enjoyed the reward.

Indeed bounty is not a reliable source of income.This earnings should be as an additional part-time job to the main job. The crypto-currency market is unpredictable, this type of earnings is also unpredictable.

Even those who have high rank account didn't able to earn much in bounties, especially if the project tends not to really pay their participants, it will still depend on the project if its worth investing and if it have what it takes to succeed over the period of time

Bounties used to be a major source of income for many people in this forum. The bear market and gradual loss of interest in ICO led to the current state of bounties and I don't think it will ever go back to what it was before.

I did not think of bounties as a reliable income because there are a lot of factors that will affect your income here. Sometimes we earn nothing and got scam by people and all our hard work is wasted. I only think this as a sideline especially i hit those good bounty campaigns.

Do not give up and just stay calm down is that part of being bounty hunter to become failure but not all the time the project you promoting is failed to reach the presale.
It's normal payment delay for the participants because the devs need to prioritized the investor pay them, the importance is devs know the obligation for their participants.

Of course if we rely on the main income from the prize campaign that we follow, it cannot provide a guarantee to be able to fulfill our daily needs, because not all gift programs can provide huge rewards, even some of them do not pay at all so that the work we do with it doesn't get anything from the related project. therefore to be able to make money from this technology, we must have other ways to be able to make money, such as trading or anything that can give us benefits, and do not depend on the gift program that we follow because we expect rewards that can meet the needs daily

I understand this. I originally planned to give up my full time job to work for many ICO projects in 2017, at which time my income was huge. but 2018 was a disastrous year and it seemed like all the projects I did were scam.
so I never considered bounty hunters a good job, it's just a partime job.

I agree with you cause bounty can cause a big disappointment especially during time for payment. Some project team members treat hunters like beggers and tend to frustrate us by imposing different rules after campaign just to avoid payment. It is wise to see bounty hunting as a side hustle so that you won't be too frustrated after getting disappointed.

I consider bounty to be extra source of income because it can't guarantee passive income. As a bounty hunter, one have to get a passive income job and use bounty hunting to supplement the income from the job.

Wow that's a nice profit during the old times but we won't stay that long there.

---

Because we are living now in the reality and that reality is sad for most of the bounty hunters because of the market's situation and fact that bounties are no longer profitable.

Unfortunately, this is the bitter truth of the last months. And so, bounties should be considered as the second source of earnings. There is nothing that guarantees us, maybe more than we expected, maybe zero.

but it a sideline job and its free,so dont complain about it,you can earn a big amount if you just work it hard and work smart for choosing your bounty this is what i do now.

It is not a reliable source of income to those who do that as their primary job but for the many who do bounty just a secondary means to gain some income, it might be ohk for them. The fact is, if you place all your hopes on bounty, that is where you begin to get worried when listing delays.

Full time bounty hunting does not exist AFAIK but working a half of a day as a task maker is unhealthy. Bounty campaigns also don't pay huge amounts to the bounty hunters due to low market prices and it will continue for a while in my opinion. As a form of passive income bounty earnings can be a drop in the ocean, otherwise it will become a hard to control the whole stuff.

Bounty programs here should not really be treated as a major source of income. Because doing so, one might find in a very difficult situation in his day to day life. Now, that tokens are very unpredictable, like when will you receive it, when will it gonna hit in the exchange, or will they ever get a good value once listed? It is like your future is very hazy if you will rely on these programs.

You shouldn't put much hope of getting money from participating in bounty campaign since you yourself have realized that participating in bounty doesn't worth it. But if you are referring to how bounty was in 2017 then you should say that with your main account since this particular one was registered in 2018.

Yeah, you're not wrong. We should be like that since we have needs that must be completed every day. It would be very tormented if someone only expected income from bounty hunting. Delays on payment, coin/token not have a price is the thing that's so prevalent today.

The period of total reliance on bounty rewards has passed in the crypto community. Gone are the days when you can boast of $500-$1000 on a monthly bases based on the kind of activities you are into. However, my advice is not to totally give up on bounties because despite the fact there are a lot of scam there are still some genuine ones.

Agree, dnt rely on bounties.... Just make it an extra income.. Its still better to have your own Job that u know can give you a stable income... And before doing bounties, better to do your own research so it will not a waste of time and efforts...

Bounty is a work that takes a long time and we will not necessarily get the gift as expected, this is about patience and there must be work other than the bounty

It is a good source of income, but not a stable source of income from my opinion.
Just think bounty as an additional incomes, that you should not to rely on it.
Trading some coins in exchanges or investing our money on some good IEOs will do better than bounties.

One of the best way to earn money in crypto currency industry is through bounties i feel bounties  are safest way to earn money and that too through patience but market should favour like 2017 pump

I can strongly say that you are wrong.
It completely depends on a users,  how he/she treats the bounties.
And if you are clever enough then you can invest that bounty amount in something good and can get easy profits out of it.
I have also witnessed people made bounty hunting as there main job.
I too earn a decent amount of money from my signature campaign.

Bounties are my choice as a job in my free time. This cannot be considered a job, and many Bounties do not pay the bonus for bounty hunters because the scam or project is unsuccessful. Many projects pay, but we cannot sell so Bounties should not be considered a job.

Bounty is only for promoting and after that you can get free tokens by helping the project you promote if they success or fail after ICOs. Thats why its not recommended to leave your present work just to do a bounty hunting because it needs time and effort to do so and yes you get starved if you rely on bounty hunting. Yes, its not reliable for source of income even me i was a bounty hunter and here waiting for profit for almost a year already.

I would not say that is true, but if someone has felt a huge reward from the campaign I think it is reliable, I mean from the results of the bounty coin exchange that we have sold later to invest again with other worthy coins and of course profits will always come for us. but after going through this dark period the market has not fully recovered and this is what makes the campaign not as good as 2017.

You are right and this because the projects are not trusted in the fund raising. If projects where able to raise funds successfully, there shouldn't be a reason why bounty payments won't be certain

I completely agree with you, every company that makes a bounty, tries to allocate a pool of tokens as little as possible to advertise its project and then after some time these companies which making bounties begin to enter KYC for bounty participants and postpone the payment of tokens for several months or even years.

Thats true, because it depends on the projects that you join, and sometimes there are coins that you get has a low value, and it takes too long to waiting before it has a good value. Just think that joining in bounty is just to train our knowledge, and the amount that we get is for savings for the future.

You only see very few people who can successfully turn the bounty campaign into a main job and create a good source of income with it, while the number of failures from bounty campaigns is too massive, especially in recent years when projects have gone down, many people even waste time on this work and do not receive any reward for their efforts. Therefore, income from bounty is not a reliable income that we can rely on, even if we try and work smarter, the reward is still too small for us to maintain living expenses, do not depend on it will help us lessen the pressure

As you know bounties is free source of earning tokens and coins,so if some ICO paying good amount than you can get good worth of tokens and coins but you can say not reliable.

all will be good if you choose a project that pays you well too. this year, hopefully it will be a good year for bounty hunters, because some projects are also successful with their sales.

Bounties are not really meant for stable source of income but if you need some extra income then bounties are in. Bounties are also meant to promote a product in forum, social media,blogs and other mediums. Many bounties suffered setbacks during the bearish year of 2018 and scam bounties proliferated during this time victimizing many bounty participants. This proved that bounties can't be relied as stable source of income and getting a job is still a better option if you want to have a better future.

There's a fact that many people are living on bounties or at least taking it as a full time job. This is a dangerous misconception. Doing bounties doesn't bring you any useful skills. Rather than that, spending about 3-4 hours a day in free time doing bounties while having a professional job at day time would be more ideal.

working in the bounty campaigns in perspective you can get very good money, but working in your regular job you will remain at the same income level as now

Really bounty company is like a lottery. But unlike simple lotteries, bounty can be considered a very long lottery, the result of which sometimes has to wait a very long time. But if you are pleased with the project, you can earn a lot. Once I was pleased with one project and very happy about it. Of course, this work can not be related to permanent income, but it can be considered as a part-time job.

It's simple. The market became weak and a lot of different projects appeared. People were not ready to buy such a huge number of coins. Therefore, we have seen such a large number of deceptions of the community.

Mate, initially bounty was good and they were some top cryptos along with their tokens. It is very much useful for the bounty participants but now. Nothing worthy for us.
Even that time bitcoin price was under 2k USD only. Now the value is higher than that time. Since market is saturated we cannot do anything in this time. Lets pray and believe the best outcome in future.

Bounties are not reliable source of income and that is a true talk. Bounties are never there to be be called reliable source of income and will never be. If have got no job out there apart from participating in bounties, then be careful you don't starve to death by spending the little on you all on data bundles. Bounties are some way like a top up, you need a job and do bounties at your free time and you will see the significance.

Presently, I would say yes, bounty isn't a reliable source of income, in as much as it pays but it doesn't come as at when needed. Most times people get rewarded when they have long forgotten about the project. So it isn't a reliable source of income.

Being in.bounty promotion does.not.mean it will.guarantee the income we wanted to have, its just an additional source of.income to those who are doing in it in.their spare time, choosing a.project is an.important thing in this area, payments delays is normal eversince an their is no guarantees that project worth after the campaign, and then the best.thing to do is the projects to promote is better.

that's right, when bounties become a very good income only in 2017, where the crypto market is on the moon so that it has a broad impact on this industry, but when the bear market happens then expecting an income from bounties is not the right choice

I think Bounty is only the second job after trading Bitcoin, because I have the capital to trade originating from Bounty that I have participated in since 2017, so Bounty and trading are two things I really do now.

I am done with bounties last year all of them are an exit scam, how could you consider that bounty is a reliable source of income?
I think still there is a good bounties program out there but you need to choose a better one or those who manage the reputed manager here because they know everything than us. For me, I won't consider bounty as a source of income.

Everyone does and a lot of investors lose that time. Make fellows to skip from joining bounties and joining signature campaigns that pays in BTC. That sad saddest thing it happen when we put our hardworks for a months for nothing.

Anyway, that's the real thing may happen in crypto, we can't fully depend this as a source of living. It could be better to find a stable job while having this as a partime job just like I did.

Do not put all your eggs on a single basket. I think this is advisable too when you put your effort and time on Bounties. Now that the market is not that good, I think we need to learn things that we need to do like trading. Trading can be profitable if we know how to handle our tokens and coins.

Within this times i think bounties are not.that profittable, unlike couple of years ago, you can earn about 1000$ to 2000$ per bounty project because participants are only few back then to receive rewards. But now you cannot rely bounties as a source of income since the rewards joining for 3 to 4 months is just a few bucks.

Its because the token price falling. Beside that, in 2018 market is not good for most crypto but if the market are good like 2017, i think doing bounty still worth. I hope 2019 will be a good year and many legit project

2017 must be different with 2018 or now. 2017 is a good year for crypto community because the price of most altcoin rising and bounty hunters can sell their reward at high price. I am still believe doing bounties still worth as long we choose a good project.

yes bounty is not a  stable  income.  we  can  not  guarantee , when i am starting days ,  most  are profitable  and genuine.  but now  most scammers.
those days  i  earned up to  8ooo usd.
power ledger  , cyber miles etc. Do not give full priority to this matter. just manage. do a job too.
 

Find a stable job if you want a reliable source of income bounties are just extra income you can expect that you won't get paid.

I do not think until now that there are some projects that only get change, in my opinion it all depends on the project that follows even though it has long been paid for. indeed some projects are paid for long and there are no, there are also projects that get a very low ICO which makes the seller drop in price. it all depends on the price of the project and the time of payment.

I agree on this, sometimes if we dont have enough capital to earn some coins, then joining bounty program is a good idea, if we are looking for a decent income per month, then joining this program is a waste of time., just that this type of programs is intended only as a past time for us, or to earn coins.

Many ICO projects are managed by famous advertisers who take fraud or do not pay tokens for bounty hunters. Maybe you get tokens via ICO support, but it is not valid or cannot exchange. I rate bounties as an extra option. It should not be considered your main job.

the current situation is quite different from the previous situation. because nowadays many people use crypto to cheat, and that has also happened a lot now. sometimes this also makes those people feel anxious about the situation that has happened.

I think it's also profitable to get the bounty but bounty is not risky so be careful with choosing a bounty so great that you will be profitable because you have to choose bounty bugs because many scams come out bounty.

The project that will be promoted is paid for us even though what we are promoting is not in 2019, but even though in 2017 we are promoting it may be right for city-savers 2 years after we promote what we already want right on coins which is certainly very feasible for the price of tokens in 2018

I agree that bounties are not a reliable source of income, you need to be lucky and very demanding in choosing the projects, and even with these, the market can still be against you... unfortunately, these days I only do bounties for projects that have a product, or that are already on exchanges.... and even so, the scam ratio is still high

Yes, but I left my job back in 2018 to do bounties and now things are different. By the way I don't think that bounties will completely disappear.
There are still some IEOs making payouts and this trend is growing

Being a bounty hunter is really good, but I will advice that you get another source income, just incase there will be times when you are expecting to be paid and the payment doesnt come through due to reasons beyond your control.

For now, the bounty cannot be fully relied upon and we must look for the main job or the other. Because I myself am aware of this, that I can no longer earn income in only one way, that is, in cash. So what I did was find another job.

Of course, Bounty is not a reliable source of income. Because everywhere there are fraudsters and they are getting better and better, of course, to trade them every day. But this is all at the request of the user.

Fully agree recently the last time bounty companies are even good and not scammers pay out very little.  It really is a feeling that here we are kept for idiots.

Bounty has already stopped making profits, which used to be, now bounty gives more small additional earnings in cryptocurrency

That is the reality now. Many people leave the bounty for reasons of income not like before. I realized that and I also felt it. But I never broke up complaining about that. As long as the bounty is always there, I still look for income here. So it's always uplifting and never despairing with this condition.

the main problem is rare for some bounty campaign are paying hunter using ETH, Bitcoin and etc.
of course developer want create a great community for the project and want people transacting their token.
but i found one bounty campaign whena are paying us using Ethereum with up to $600k in Ethereum

Here >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5151668.0

of course like few of my friends, they are now leaved bounty campaign, because in bounty condition like now many spammer are participating too in bounty campaign, in few case few work from them are is the result of stealing from the work of other participants

Don't undervalue your time as a bounty hunter. It has been proven many times that the union of bounty hunters are stronger to defeat their rights as a bounty participant. They will pay to the bounty hunters because they are not stupid to ruin their reputation with 3% token distribution.

Being bounty hunter you must know the risk jist like what happened to you. Incase you choosing between the bounty or the works I think you know what is best for you.

Bounty is not source of income there is no promising salary will get to the bounty because there is a lot of factor you must experience in bounty maybe you not getting paid,  maybe you paid but the token you get is cheap and not listed because of the delay.

i kinda 50/50 on this  well lets start with the yes bounties are not reliable if its the only source that you will do
because joining does not give guarantees ,you could only hope that this camp that you joined would be huge
On the other 50% doing bounties can be rewarding and really pays off your effort because a certain project can be that huge
its like you won the lottery in an instant. So my insight here is it really depends.

Fifty percent will not be an efficient solution to the current bounty payment problem but it worth to test it with the new campaigns. I don't see any clear argument for a team to accept this offer and they will not be glad to pay the BTC to bounty campaign participants.

Oh no bounties should be done as a hobby and not as a worthy source of income. It is not profitable to spent too much time for bounties. Better do your regular job.

It is ok to works in bounty campaigns, as long you don't consider it as your main income source.
You must have another source of income, so you can works in bounties anytime you like.
Never depending on bounty campaigns, because it usually won't meet your expectation.

hello, now is not 2017 so don't expect a lot of big income from bounty, now there are so many bounty scams or not having a good price when listing, if in 2017 you can make bounty as a revenue bucket, but not for now

Now it is also possible if you work hard and look for really good bounty and participate in many campaigns at once.

Now with the bounty, the situation is the same as with good ICO projects, they are either not there or extremely small. To determine in advance which project will be successful is almost impossible. Of the 100 projects, only 1 or 2 will succeed.

it is not true. from 100 projects you can find 20-30 projects on which you can earn in bounty campaigns

Bounty companies are like casinos. You can become the owner of a good win, or stay with zero, without receiving anything for the work done. Therefore, a regular source of income is necessary for a normal life. Bounty is a hobby, something interesting to do, especially if it can still bring a small income.

Now there is no profit from bounty companies
a very large number of companies do not send rewards
and those who send they cost a penny

I support you, I think that already the bounty projects will not bring profit in the future, which was brought about a year ago

it's happening because many ICO projects don't raise even minimal amount of money needed for further work.

today is too hard for make passive income in bounty campaign, better than in 2017.
ahh men i miss that time where hunters are very easy to make money from bounties and are different from today

Many people are complaining about current situation. We all know that situation is not good, also not for traders, investors and altcoin teams. But who cares? Try to find the options, not only complaining all the time  :D.

Yes that is true bounty is not a reliable source of income, unlike 2017 when you will certain gain any work you do for bounty campaign but nowadays is not like that again. If you are not trading now, is not certain you will make any money during bounty campaign.

Yes, better find another option to survive another day here. There are a lot to explore via online jobs. Bounties are good sidelines but not entirely relying on them. That would make your life miserable. In this digital age, for sure you will find odd jobs via internet.

In order to work online in cryptocurrency and not to do this in bounty campaigns, you need to be a very good specialist.

Bounties is not a permanent source of income BUT it pays  ;) Still the best source of income is to get real job  :D

Before the bounty was indeed a very easy way of earning. And then there were no problems with payments. Now times have changed and now it is not so easy to earn.

Of course! What do you expect? Have a stable income from bounties? And based on the current market condition at the moment it is really hard to earn on bounties. And also prices are so volatile that you don't know when will your coins be so high or low. I recommend that if you would like to have a reliable source of income then you should find a real job that'll pay you regularly.

This is so because a lot has changed in the last few months to years. Initially, one could make a decent income from bounties alone and still maintain a happy stream of income. However, with the uncertainties introduced into the market, it meant a steady fluctuations in prices and value of most coins and projects, meaning bounty hunting became less attractive resulting in lower pay. I still think, things will take a turn for the better in the nearest future.

With so many newly created projects and with the scammers around it's tough to rely your time with bounty anymore, you can try harder but don't expect that much treat this as a side opportunities for you adding some benefits when the project you supported brings profits.

Right, the best source is to get employed or to run your own business. Do bounties as incentive but don't completely rely your daily living to it.
Bounties tend to end and there's no benefit after that, if they pay you with the exact amount then that's great but most of them aren't really paying and tend to scam people. They may pay for sometime but it's only applicable for few bounties.

True. If you wish to have monthly salary then find a formal job. Bounties can be an aid to help you in some way in financial needs. Its sometimes a luck has something to do for us to success.

it's not a job, it's a lottery. many projects will fail, many are scams, others will pay but the prices crash and you won't get much. Be picky, investigate them and choose wisely.

Bounties cannot be considered as primary or main source of income because its payment date and amount cannot be predicted. A bounty hunter can work for more than a year without receiving any tradeable coin to earn profit. These set of hunters are often frustrated especially when the bounty is the only means of income.

I won't agree with this. You will definitely accuse bounties that is not a reliable source income if the bounty project you choose was a bad project. But for example that in hundred project being held in the bounty, you can still find about half or more than good projects with it that will surely worth it for having a  good source of income just like the dencoin tokens.

You're going to starve if you keep on promoting shitcoins in their bounty campaign, better shift to coins that are already in the market and doing a promotion, there are still some few bounty campaigns where the coin is already listed in the market.

Sorry to the OP for getting on board so late. I guess no one had time to write about this legit way of earning money on the internet on their site. The only ways you see that people put on their website are fixed matches :D, Pay to click sites and their usual refs. With bitcointalk, you don't refer the person and you share stakes later :D so people kept it as a secret but during the 2018 bull run, people begun to write about it when they got money in excess as I call it.

I can't say that bounties is not a reliable source of income. Why? Its because, there are many good projects in there that makes good source of income. Just like the dencoin tokens, its just the matter of fact on how you will likely to choose a good project. But for me, I can say that being part in a part of bounties was good when it comes to income.

If a gift is not a reliable source of income, then don't make bounties your main activity. What if people who make bounties as their main source of income read the title of your topic?
Indeed 2018 is different from 2017 regarding income received from bounties. All that needs a process, who knows, starting in 2019 it will be like 2016 and 2017.

Actually i also don't see how you would want to take bounties as your reliable source of income lol. I have got my day job working and i only come here to get more information about daily happenings in crypto and i am glad we are being paid for our words and post in here. But i don't rely solely on this, this is just some sort of a bonus. Get a job mate, crypto is too volatile to rely solely on it.

Believe in whatever you like, I believe that bounty can give you lot of money if you do it right by choosing very good projects to promote ,there are many factors surrounding good projects just learn to figure them out and it will pay

Bounties should be considered as a source of passive income while you learn about cryptocurrencies and not really an option of making a living from it because there are inconsistencies in how these are run and some take forever to be listed on an exchange or take forever to pay their hunters, and if funds come in this fashion you can not survive!

believing in ourself is good and its better than believing on others but the reality is that not all bounties are proven to be legit but some are just phony therfor its not also good to follow your conscience especially if you dont have any idea of the bounty that you are trying to join with  .

Bounties is not a reliable source of income if you are a noob on this industry but to some that are already veterans on bounty hunting , they can identify the legit from fake which makes bounty are a profitable source of income to them  .

Yeah bounties are not reliable source of income but it can be an alternative source of income. It can be a supporting income which can add as our salary. We should still have our own milking cow for us to have a constant source of money then the bounty act as the supporting income.

for me the bounty is a reliable source of income as well as I choose and investigate every bounty I have in place and all that I have in my bounty campaign is legit so I can tell if it's reliable source of income because I still make a big deal here.

I am agree that bounties could be alternative source of income. Its can not be our main income because many bounties dont pay their participant and many project not reach the target. I think doing bounties is good as long the project are legit

Bounty, in terms of language meanings, is a kind of bonus. Therefore, it is obviously that bounties themselves are not main source of income. It is fine if you consider bounties as additional income only. Then, you can use such additional income from bounties for entertainment, travel, or other kinds of things to increase your quality of life. Considering bounties as main income is risky and might put you under pressures if the forum shut down by admin, or admin decide to disable all kind of bounties posted and run in the forum, for example

bounty is only extra income so if you get a lot of money from a bounty it can alleviate or not reduce money you have in savings so don't ever consider a bounty to be your main income

why not ? its not bad to consider bounty as a main source of income and it will only depend on the person .

some treat bounty as a sideline job while others treat bounty as a main job because they dont have an offline job and some  already quit thier job because they think that bounty is more profitable and they cant foccus on doing bounties if there are distractions .

in my case i also treat bounty as my main job or my main source of income because ive been unemployed since 2013 though i still have other sideline jobs and all of them are online based .

You are right mate bounty have fail me so many time but my failure make me stronger , bounties shouldn't be rely on

rather than making bounty campaign as a main job it's better to find another job like trying to trading using money you're collect from bounties.
from trading even a high risk, this way is one solution for make main income

It's better to say that cryptocurrencies are generally not reliable source of income due to their high volatility and possibility of scam. So we should be careful in any cryptoactivity considering all possible risks.

I am sure that everyone in this forum does not recommend the bounty campaign as the main income it's best to do bounty campaign work in your spare time, if you get results from a bounty it's better to use it for trading and still do offline work.

most forum users who don't have real and full-time jobs just to hunt for tokens certainly rely on this work as a fictitious income. but other stories if they have real jobs or part-time workers in this field certainly do not always rely on income through this. therefore before joining this field, you should already know all the consequences so that when what we expect is not in accordance with reality, it will not end with the word complaining.

Bounties are not reliable source of income and never will they be. If you decide to let bounties be your reliable source of income, my friend rethink about that decision before even your girlfriend or wife leaves you for another man who can fed for her. You can promote even three projects in five months and wait for another two months and still wont get a dime to take home, are you going to make this your reliable source of income, hell no. Bounties are truly not reliable source of income.

I agree that the bonus is not a reliable source of income. There are so many scams on the market today, and you can't know what you will get. It is best to have your job and only consider the bonus as your part-time job.

Bounty is not a job. This is a purely voluntary matter when you want to help the project and receive tokens from it as a reward. But people distorted everything again.

A lot of people really confident that bounty will give them more income than their real job. I see it some people in my community quit job and do trading or maybe bounty campaign. Hope they not regret it.

bounty can be as a work. just to make good money, you need to do a lot. you have to put a lot of energy into it and then you can call it work

For me here is a real source of income. I just found out about the gift forum or bitcointalk in 2018 when my friends made a lot of money from their work in that gift. Even though I know the prize when the price is no longer the same as 2017, I can still smile until now because I get extraordinary knowledge from the sophistication of this system, and now I make this forum my second activity in earning income.

Without having a more accounts you can´t talk about it as a full time work. It is only hobby, you spend few minutes by doing bounties (if you are a regular bounty hunter)  ;)

Of course not. Cryptocurrency can be a reliable source of income, but not the bounty.
Although we still be able to joining some bounties, there won't be any guarantee that the prize (token) will be able to sell at proper price.
Too many worthless tokens came from bounties, hunters don't have other choice than hold it.

2017 is a very good year for bounty hunters if you are lucky to choose the ones that paid tokens which has a good value. I think you chose a failed projects of a fake ones, i literally earn a good amount from bounties i have partake in 2017, but the current situation of bounties right now is not profitable, yes we must not depend on bounties alone.

Bounties are not reliable source of income for the reason being that it can never be depended on for survival or means of assurance. Gone are the days that bounty used to help and pay well but not anymore currently and most times all the benefit you get from participating in bounties are shitcoins that has no dream of seeing the exchange anywhere nearer.

It is the best for extra income but not the main source of income due to the fact that your salary is not guaranteed here, there will always be the luck needed for this job to make money, choose the right one always.

it depends from the part of the world that you are located, maybe for under developed countries, but in western europe, you can see this only a as hobby with potential future value, you cannot live on bounties
maybe it was better at the end of 2017, but those are few months only

If bounties is not a reliable source of income, what do you think in your opinion IEO has been rise here in the forum? and why lot still lot of community investors are continued buying token in every projects? For you maybe it is not a reliable one for for the majority it is one of the best source of income to them.

in general, it cannot be relied upon for a number of reasons, such as uncertainty about income in this industry. When working in the real world, of course you have a steady income every month. I personally do this activity as a side job, because my full time is in the real world.

for people who work for bounties of course they will assume that indeed a bounty is a job that gives them money properly. it all depends on the skills we have. Regardless of that, the bounty is still running, and many projects use that. even those who did the IEO also continued to carry out bounty campaigns.

you are not expected to totally rely on bounty for all moment or forever.
it is either you use it as supportive source of income or make a business out of it, because it is not always there.for like a whole year now that the market value is down, if bounty was the only source of ones income. your guess is as good as mine. ??? 

Yeah, you're right mate bounties is not source of income, for me doing bounties such as signature is just past time and kind of suprise investment that you'll hoping you will get earned money when you get lucky the project success and put on a exchanges. These days recently received token from bounties hopefully it will get list soon in any crypto exchanges, so that I will try to earn in a furst through bounties.

I also encountered a few similar cases. We participate in promoting their projects and after all, we get nothing. They started to have reasons for the distribution to become late and disappear. Really really annoyed. >:(

I agree about this. but, I think this is a good source of income for unemployed people like me. well, sometimes I also get a pretty big salary. however, the bounty is very well combined with the work we have. because the results of the bounty are also quite good.

I think I have seen this thread before and to be honest
Bounty is a reliable source of income; but you cannot make bounty your only source of income

So dig deep, find out more information and participate in only real bounties

Bounty and airdrops are also profitable and there are still legitimate bounty bills today but can not be prevented from having a bounty scam because they want to make money with investors so be careful about the situation.

Not a bad number. What exactly did you do? Now to make money on bounty you have to rely on luck, and on your own instincts. My earnings this year are ridiculous.

My first advice to you would be to earn a promotion in the forum rank. For that you need to earn merit points on a regular basis. And trust me, it is not that hard to earn a few dozen merit points in a period of one year, if you make quality posts at the right places. Once your rank becomes at least a Full member, you can apply for signature campaigns which pays you in BTC. They are much more reliable than the bounty campaigns.

In my opinion, present gifts can no longer be a reliable source of income. because now there are many prizes that are not paid, even many tokens from prizes are very cheap when they want to sell.

bounty still a reliable way to get income from online working, but don't make this as main income for your life.
because on this situation like now is to hard for making money from bounty

Now many bounty hunters are engaged in bounty only for the long term, as many coins and tokens are now worth a penny, so now for many bounty is a small game, but in the future it can be a good source of income.

of course bounty campaign is still reliable for our get income, but not for main income
we need the main permanent job and making bounty only as a side income

Incorrect understanding if we rely on bounty as the main income especially the main job. because this is very wrong. currently it cannot be made the main job. and in my opinion today there must be a thought that this is only a side job

people can't be made bounty as a main income, they must make another way to get main income even from trading or mining.
because revenue from bounty it is uncertain

Definitely it's not a reliable source of income for now,  back then during 2017 it was profitable because there are not lot of scamming ico project and there are not lots of bounty participants,  so it makes it more rewarding back then unlike nowadays where everything has changed alot

The bounty champions are treated as a part-time job but in reality, it lost this status after the collapsed BTC market. The market crash changed everything and this also affected the bounty rewards. The continuation of bounty campaigns is not insured but the market situation can be a real mirror for monitoring the bounty campaigns.

bounty is not the place to find the main income in our lives ... so don't depend on your life with bounty ... because it will starve you ... but for me bounty is able to give me food for a year ... starting from me getting to know bounty from 2017 until now ,, I still make bounty as my main income place ... and I have never participated in a bounty project that has delayed payments ... so my advice is for you to be smarter and more careful when choosing the bounty you will follow ..

Its not a good thing to base your earnings on bounty hunting because most bounty are rewarded with little tokens,  s delays are meet on some bounties and some drop in price too

If making bounty as the main source of income is, of course, a big mistake. Bounty is still profitable, it's just that what we get is not only dependent on our hard work but depends on the seriousness and success of the project. Unfortunately, many projects fail, even among them are many projects as fraudulent land. So, don't leave your main job just for bounty.

Personally i think bounties can be reliable, however total dependency is not acceptable. Experiences I've encountered have been mostly good regardless, particularly in the sense that i have another source of income outside the world of cryptocurrency. It's best to get to a point where you shouldn't be compelled into selling your tokens when you shouldn't. I've come to the realization that most of those whose dump their tokens are those subjected to a single or no source of income.

Our individual differences can determine if one can depend on the rewards coming from bounty or not.
If you have a lot of responsibilities and needs to cater for, the bounty should not be your source of income.
If your needs are so simple and easy to be met, then bounty might suite you.

I agree, there are lots of available sources of income online, its just that we need to research more of it, just like virtual assistant and the others, bounties takes time, and yet there is no guarantee of the tokens paid, be valuable or not, but the more projects we participate the better chances of having more tokens or a coins which can convertible soon if the project got listed.

Yes,but its free and for me it was an opportunity so i still grab it ,what if im lucky? I could say that because lucky word is one that you all need when you join in bounty ,this current bounty has a big different from the last year bounties this is what i‘ve observed.

Bounty is not a reliable income source but it can be the best way to increase your portfolio. Look at the harmony bounty hunters! They will get huge money and smart hunters won't sell everything! They will sell and hold for the future. So, smart bounty hunters can spend their life with the bounty earnings! And they can do another job too!

Its not advisable to make bounty hunting main source because its not a passive source of income. One can just make bounty secondary source of income because it will give some residual income.
