Good projects don't need bounty hunters to do there works for them ,I can start naming good projects of 2019 that refuse to use bounty hunters to gain awareness ,especially IEO projects from binance excluding harmony only which i think its the best bounty project of the year so far, I think bounty hunting is fading away

the bounty hunter actually also contributes greatly to making the project a success. but maybe a lot of projects don't involve bounty hunters because there are other factors, so I think this is an attitude that must be considered by the project team

It is true that the bounty hunting is fading away and it is because of the huge percent of scam and low value rewards,
And the non stop blaming of those ignorant who accuse the hunters for the price drop for real do you think that the hunters really doesn't care about their reward ?
They are also traders they also play their reward and wait for the pump just like the investors .
The problem about bounty hunting is the reward it is the one that kills it hunters also need some money and those worthless shitcoins aren't going to feed them.

I agree too, the future of bounty hunting is uncertain when it comes to IEO token.sale because it is done by an exchange which has tons of community members, but it depends on the team itself because bounty promotions serves as a.community awareness of a projects, it has a large contribution to the success of the project as well.

What you say is true, that good projects are still good even though there are no bounty hunters. But you also know the function of bounty hunters in ICO and IEO projects. That is, all need other parties to achieve success.

ICO is almost obsolete replaced by the IEO, so the bounty hunter will eventually have no value at all, if no changes are made to the system that is currently happening. I hope there will be a real change for the bounty hunter when every work is done for bounty so that always get real results.

Well lets exclude IEO itself

Bounty is always uncertain because we don't know if
1) Project is being genuine and real
2) Campaign manager will pays fair and square based off effort bounty participants put in

So, one should really check and analyze before they actually participate in a bounty so their hardwork doesn't get squish off

Not only fading away but bounty hunters are leaving bounty campaign, because of nonpayment, projects going scam, devs running away and the worst of all is locking bounty hunter's stakes, some of my friends told me they worked for nothing for several months because they are promoting a dubious project or shit tokens.

this is indeed a very drastic system change because usually a project especially ICO requires bounty participants to promote their project because there are so many bounty communities. in 2019 this bounty is not really needed because many projects use the IEO system and we know they are directly partnering with Exchange.

Having a bounty campaign is helpful to become a popular the project because if they see the signature codes that you wear they have possibility they visited on that and maybe have interest. But they have project did not need to bounty because the project is popular because the investors discover the project by their own.  Bounty hunting right now slowly become dead.

Sometimes I think some managers approach this project for campaign, their negotiation level could bring them on board. I noticed the scam project go after the bounty managers than managers go after them, thats why we have more scam bounty campaign. The trend will change sometimes with the IEO, it is getting obvious that it is pump and dump process, exchanges make more money with it than the project.

The title says it right there are so many uncertainties three years ago there were only few bounty hunters and projects are legit, but now it's all messed up imagine I have three bounty wallet and out of 30 only 2 are trading in the market and the two coins that look legit and already in the market are locked indefinitely.

You can only say that because there's only few projects in IEO compared to ICO.

Investors are choosing to invest in IEO and that makes IEO more successful since they have a good potential investors but they are limited in numbers compared to ICO, if we can noticed, some projects in IEO can easily achieve their hard cap and even small investors are having the interest but they are having a hard time to invest on IEO.

Bounty hunting is still their but it depends on the number of IEO projects that will be created, hopefully it will increase so it will also increase the opportunity of the bounty hunters.

Every day it becomes harder to catch a good bounty campaign, there are some options that can be considered as a average reward. Other campaigns are simply waste of time, no way to prevent this, unfortunately.

Quite right. Being listed in a reputable Exchange's IEO is the biggest advertisement they'd ever have. But again not all of them would get that feat and not all of the tokens not being featured in Binance are scam. There will always be other community focused tokens that focus on giving profit to users rather than paying a hefty sum of money to exchange operators.

IEO does not need bounty hunters and it's only a matter of time before bounty hunters losses ICO to campaign, but there are still some coins that are already in the market that does bounty campaign like Eterbase and Veil among others and gambling sites also I think in two years we will have very few bounty campaigns.

This means that many bounty projects that are pumping out every day are bad projects ,only few ones are very good so choose wisely but I don't think that bounty will fade away because not all projects team will be able to get to binance to create awareness for there IEO projects

Now all the bounty companies are not perfect. This is a fact.  No one wants to pay remuneration for work.  But still give something to earn.  But everything seems that this method of earning money is already fading into the background.

Times change and with them the ways of making money. 2 years ago you were doing something else because bounty hunting wasn't a thing at that time. 2 years from now you will probably be doing something else again. Is it a bad thing?

Without knowing anything about cryptocurrencies you all adjusted to the situation and started to earn money here. Without this forum you will adjust again and do another job.

don't take an example on an underdeveloped project that provides a bounty campaign ... because there are so many projects that have been successful in running the ICO with the bounties campaign ... until now the bounty has never faded even though there are currently many coin / tokens that are down. so stay focused and keep working hard ...

Your thread has explained if you are here caused by the bounty and no more, do something better rather than make your life depends on the bounty campaign lol
There was a lot of competition in another exchange site launch pad.
what you need is only to see the whole exchange site.

in my opinion to spread the word about any project, even for a good project, their team should do a bounty campaign my friend
remember, marketing is very important part in this industry  ;)

Money and advertising is the engine of trade! Do not forget about it. Bounty hunters also contribute to the development and promotion of the project. So it is possible that soon and IEO will need their services.

Bounties will stay untill there are all these startups looking to raise funds so no need to panic or fud i just agree to the fact that bounties have not remain much lucrative like they used to be 1 to 2 years ago but then again better market can improve that too.

That's the main reason why developers is using this media of promoting their projects, bounty hunters are helping the project to be noticed around, and with that it can bring possible investors and supporters, but due to many scamming incidents many bounty hunters are not getting any certainty as they can possibly receive nothing when projects didn't give them any share rewards.

Maybe that's just a small part of what you mean a good project that doesn't need a bounty hunter to make their project a success.
in my opinion, there are also many good projects that require bounty hunters to realize the success of their projects. but it depends on the management of a project. because,it's not the same tactics needed in every project owner.

That's agreeable mate, but we can't prevent a certain bounty project to become unsuccessful during launch because we're dependent of the project progress during coin offering ICO collected funds. As you mentioned that there's such factors to consider, that's certain and I think it cannot be avoided. Just don't give up, move on and try another bounty project and be part of their potential success.

the future of the bounty hunter lies in the project that is running. now if the project cannot run optimally I think all project participants will also be disrupted. so still the job of a bounty hunter has its own value and remains influential in the project

It's not uncertain, it's dying. Those big advertising companies are starting to cater now cryptocurrency related projects and bounty hunting isn't the trend anymore when someone wants to launch a coin and advertise it. The days of earning a very good amount of money from bounty hunting is clearly over, even though there'll be some bounty campaigns but the impact of it will not be the same just like before. I got a good amount of money from it though.

What do you mean by the project that runs in the future?
many of the projects that hold a bounty campaign will just start their project. even most of them are just based on the concept and prototype of their platform. although some projects have already run and made bounty campaigns, but that is very rare.

The sums for investment in the most ICO have been steady and stay extraordinary. It relies upon numerous reasons. I'm progressively associated with ICO campaigns and along these lines I realize that here as when I'm fortunate enough back on my old account in 2016 i earn almost 3000$ from bounty alone .

For this situation, you can not rely on everything about bounties in this time.

IEO has just been operating lately compared to ICOs where bounty hunters classically got good profit from during those times when ICOs are still reliable and trusted. Platforms like binance are already known platform, founded and rooted already so whether they get little promotions or big those who’ve known about them will themselves spread the word and besides they already have plenty of users compared to a just starting project that have not done and anything yet.

The golden days of bounty hunting is gone for good and the lucky hunters then made good profits from successful projects so numerous projects then reached Hard Cap and Soft Cap easily coupled with favorable market price of cryptos then ie very bullish.
However I could hardly see any successful ICOs these days partly because of scam and fraudulent ones who collected investors money and went into thin air more so failed projects are in the order of the day thus making investors to shun the idea of investing in them invariably this marked the beginning and the end of bounty hunting that is why I always lay emphasis on learning a marketable skills for full time bounty hunters due to the uncertainty in that aspect of cryptos jobs.

And investors also learned their mistakes in the past. Now, when the projects just listed on any exchanges, they usually traded their tokens and at least get some profits, look for the next best hype projects invest, get out, rinse and repeat. Gone are the days when there are lots of gullible and blindly investors just pouring their money on ICO, they are getting smarter now in 2019.

I agree about this and that is a fact because the current bounty campaign does not guarantee participants will get paid for all the work they have done for months promoting their projects.

Although I don't want to, I still have to admit that what you say is true, there are many projects that don't need bounty hunters but still achieve great success. So people should consider bounty hunting as a part-time job. Don't ever spend too much of your time here.

To be honest, apart from bitcointalk signature bounty, I don't think any of the bounty is needed for the success of ICO, they never get direct sale from social media promoting, they only get good looking twitter and facebook with more likes, Rt.

I agree with you. Now you can not rely on income coming from bounty companies. The conditions on the market have become more complicated. It is extremely difficult for new projects to go out and hold on to the market, even if the price of a coin succeeds, as a rule, it falls sharply. New projects now do not bring income, only if you are lucky.

bounty are work that does not guarantee success although I see a lot of bounties popping up every day but more bounty scams now all we need is careful in choosing a bounty so that our hard work is not in vain

I think the future of the bounty is still good, even though the bounty does not currently have good benefits for the bounty hunter or for the success of the project. But I think that even though many projects succeed without a bounty, a bounty is still needed to further promote a project

If we really careful with our life, bounty hunting is something that actually not really good as main income. Because even it is higher, we can't expect it will long last. If me, i use my earning to do something else or use it as capital in real life business.

I never doubted that new projects benefit greatly from the work of the Bounty Hunters.  For us lately, seeking remuneration for their work has become very difficult. And if someone pays a reward, then it is deplorablely small.  As an example, Bounty companies that have deceived people are very cruel: MenaPay, Bitsdaq, 888token.

That will depend on the project itself, and if they have a strong team and they are promoting their project into social media, I am sure that could lift their project to be known by the public. The public will come to their project, and I think many of them will invest in the project if they thought the project could be profitable in the long-term.

It has already been uncertain since 2017, during the rise of bitcoin and the altcoins we see tons of scam projects and scam artists try to get their hands on the money of gullible investors. I am certain that we bounty hunters will never stop participating with these projects but we also need to be very sure that we will no longer be duped by people telling us good things and then break their promises in the end.

The fact that some bounties bypassed bounty hunters does not mean the future of bounty hunters is uncertain. hunters are the mouth piece of many projects and without bounty hunters, many projects wouldn't have been where they are now. There are still going to be good projects out there that needs hunters which our future for hunting is certain and bright.

Let me first address the issue of harmony. Harmony would have been like every other projects, had it been it was listed on a shit exchange. Well, I do not deny that it is a good project, but that Binance picked it up, made it to do so well. Therefore, every project that goes about doing its IEO on big exchange like Binance will surely succeed.

If IEO is held on the binance platform, then it doesn't need any advertising and is already insured with success. But platforms not so popular need bounty.

Unfortunately, nowadays there are much less campaigns that can bring a lot of profit to the bounty hunters. You need to invest a lot of time and effort to find a good campaign, however, it is still possible, even on the current market.

Saying that bounty hunting has an uncertain future all because there are some bounties that succeed without bounty hunters is not too welcomed by me. Bounty hunting has helped a lot of projects to achieve there aim, so don't underrate or just over look what bounty hunters do.

No matter how good a project is, it needs publicity and one of such publicity method is through bounty. As a matter of fact, a lot of projects team will want to go fr bounty, because it is one of the cheapest means of creating awareness. Not only that, it also adds to their community because every project needs such for project development.

I think i remember, harmony has bounty before, im not sure, straight to the point, i understand what you really mean, some projects that have their IEO does not need a bounty  promotion, and yes you are right, especially when they do their IEO at the top exchange this is because the exchanges itself has lot of supporters and users, but i believe still bounty promotion is important in order to gain more awareness in the community even though the project is IEO. There is a big rule for bounty promotion, and its not just a promotion of the project but it serves as an awareness for the long time.

The time of crazy payouts has passed, I think. Perhaps when Ethereum releases update 2.0 and good ICOs return, then maybe the bounty hunters will receive good payouts. But alas not now.

Times are changing and so does the bounty hunting industry, as there are many factors that it has been left out by many projects. Even IEO's are not that profitable just because how fast time and technology changes, I think what we need right in in this market is to have somehing new that can overturn the bounty industry.

I think that future of bounty campaigns is already determined. Look, the whole cryptoindustry has gone the way of centralization, and when decentralization is viewed by large campaigns as evil, then who needs decentralized advertising at the amateur level (which is, in essence, bounty is) ? Large companies will use the services of world famous media to promote their projects, while bounty hunters will disappear as a concept.

Times are moving fast so as bounty hunting. I think the future of bounty hunting is still bright. More projects are coming up and bounty helps bring these projects into light.

Before bounty can totally stop, there would have been alternative ways of earning. Even as of now, former and current bounty hunters have started trading. Some are into day trading and they are earning big.
Do not also forget that investing in promising coins is also another way of earning, most especially for those who cannot trade.

bounty hunting is really good source of extra income but still would be better to have REGULAR job because nothing last forever

although bounty is full of uncertainty but at least there are still many projects that require bounty hunters as a means to help promote their projects but for that we must be careful in choosing projects because most projects currently do not consider bounty hunters as one of their supporters and many of them they don't pay bounty hunter

The first rule that must be clarified is not to make Bounty Hunter as the main job, just make it a side job because the uncertainty experienced by Bounty Hunter is very clear, the bounty hunters are faced with various trials such as scam projects, non-exchangeable coins, and strict rules.   so when you get paid from the bounty program you should make it an investment because it could be that the next few years the price is very high.  My advice here is very clear, that is, don't make Bounty hunters the main job.

Each project for himself chooses whether they should hire bounty hunters or not. It doesn't matter if it's a good project or not. In any case, the project needs new users.

I understand that bounty hunters are a risky job. Scam of the project, not being paid is one of the risks of becoming a bounty hunter.
this year the IEO has become more popular than ICO, this is a new challenge. I think it's time to make a new plan.
Being a trader or participating with IEO is a choice that must be considered.

Yeah I also agree that bounty hunting is slowly fading away. Many projects doesn’t include bounty as the media of promotion. I’m pretty sure it is because of many scams too that makes bounty is not a good option.

Probably bounty has no future at all! Look, there are smaller rewards and smaller amount of bounties. Moreover it is transforming to something like smart bounty, when you should make an effort to get reward

It is uncertain indeed, many bounty campaigns are still uncertain whether they will really paying the participants or not.
Maybe it is time for bounty era to end, although some of them are still running for now.
We won't know the exact value of the reward we will received in bounty, because most of bounties reward token price were below the ICO price.

currently . Bounty is not a good income. when i was doing it in 2017,2018 it was a great income to me. power ledger , cryber miles very great.
now please do the correct ones , and do at least 10 bounties they you can see good opportunity.  i have to say something that now bull run came , every coin  2x can be expected so please do it

There are still many new projects and they are running a bounty program.
The IEO is a fast way to raise funds, and community members are needed for developers, so until now we still see new projects running the IEO also running bounty programs.

Well i agree that bounty happy days are over most of the time necause of fake projects which is just a waste of time. However, there's still quality project like harmony that used bounty hunters to make awareness of their project and give good payouts to hunters.

The fading of a project really has no significant results on the performance of the IEO project that has just been invested by binance not included in the project category made for evaluation material
 

If you are a bounty hunter since 2016 ago then you won't say it because bounty program has been running for at least several years so far, which mean there are bounty hunters who have got a wealth from it. The new project will be popping up in the future remain cryptocurrency has been starting to be known by most people on this world. So, it's good idea if you use bounty program as a main job for your life with a note you have to have a bravery every proccess that will come.

in fact, there is very little allocation for harmony, but because now the market prices used are increasing, making the bounty payments that may be done in September will be feasible. if at the moment the price distribution is the same as it is now or there is an increase.
bounty is still feasible for us to follow, although there are many scam projects but we can still choose some good projects, and possibly pay.

No, I don't think broadcast service will be underestimated. Even though the IEO is really good, sometimes they still need promoters and likes of advertisers on Twitter or Facebook.
Harmony is a great project and it was x8 after being allowed to trade on Binance, but it still needs weeks to develop the community.
so the work of bounty hunters is still important and it will not disappear.

I second this, bounty hunters made lots of money in the past, but at the expense of new investors, we don't know we were promoting a scam project as it's not easy to determine. At the early stage they look very legit but eventually they'll leave the project once they get a good money on it.


That's the only one I see, but the group of bounty hunters are so big, that means less opportunity for all.

The future of bounty hunting is uncertainty but that doesn't mean we should stop hunting ,I believe that something good can still come out of bounty hunting if we never give up ,bitcoin is very bullish and its uncertainty how far it will go this time so let's keep the hunting spirit alive

I do no buy your argument. It is true that the number of new crypto projects is decreasing with the uncertainty of their investment in cryptocurrency. But it does not mean that there are not new projects with much potentiality and much to offer. Maybe a crypto project hits the market and beat bitcoin. Talking about binance listing, it does not determine the value and importance of a project in terms of which exchange it will be listed. There are many projects growing which are nos listed on binance exchange.  

Now most of the campaigns are coming in IEOs with new campaigns coming with in various platform like erc20 and neo and tron and various others still bounties earnings and signature campaigns are running only thing is we should select the best campaigns and work accordingly

IEO projects may not need but many ICO projects don't get investors and hence many have failed. In any case, we can count how many projects have succeeded as most have either turned scam or failed to collect the soft-cap while IEO projects are few in number. Since 2018, there have hardly been any good projects so it's not that they don't need but most are not even getting participants due to the bad market conditions.

I also repeatedly advised people not to consider bounty as a job. At the right time, it made a lot of money in a short time. But nothing is easy forever

Marketing costs are very high, which is why they prefer to make bounty campaigns for bounty hunters because they don't need to pay high fees.
Because with the campaign, at least it helps to disseminate information about the project.

The IEO projects on Binance are unique, ONE is a bounty project. However no one initially knew that it was IEO on Binance. For the rest of the bounty, I don't see many opportunities to make a lot of money from them

Every project/company needs to pay for advertising.  Bounties are a very cheap and effective way to do so.  Even the largest companies in the world that are already established are spending billions a year on advertising.  Coco-Cola and Disney are huge but they still have enormous marketing budgets.  You need to keep your name out there or you lose market share quickly.

In some points you are correct, But i dont agree with some of it "specially when you say that Bounty is not needed for good project" what does it means? Are you out of your mine start ups needs a community  for example to gather more people to create hype and awarenes they are starting and airdrop campaign and take note Bounty campaigns are still the cheapest form of advertising till today, where you can find any form of advertising that accept a native untradable tokens as payment only Bounties.

Actually, by conducting a bounty program, it certainly greatly affected the project to be known by many people. With so many bounty hunters, of course, among these promotions will have an impact that there are investors who invest in many projects that have been promoted. So, if the project does a bounty, it will certainly be very good for the project to be known by all investors.

Yes, definitely i agree that the future of bounty hunting is uncertain, unlike couple of years ago, bounty hunting is so nice that it is so profitable and only few participants. Now there are many participants yet the rewards pool would be devided into many participants.

If it is useful, it will not be easily lost. I guess you will understand what I say. That is the law of nature, the market.
But rest assured, there will be other jobs that need bounty hunters. At that time we will see the strong return of the hunters.

As long as there are people that are interested in making cryptocurrency projects, bounty hunting will never end. Because bounty hunters are considered to be one of the catalysts when it comes to promoting a project which leads to making the coin popular. I think it will continue for many years unless cryptocurrency, ICOs, and IEOs gets banned.

Nothing is absolutely guaranteed, no one had believed bounty hunting could be profitable until last year, another of such opportunities could come but this is not what one should totally rely on, those that made a lot of gain from bounty must have engaged the fund in reasonable businesses or crypto trading while continuing trying for better luck

that might happend in few years not right now. not every project can use ieo to collect money. especially on binance. we have time to get profit from bounty.

Well, I do not know. Over the past six months, I have not managed to make any profit on the bounty. This is probably the end.

Yes, it will live. But we should understand that promotion with the help of bounty hunters can also evolve. Articles, video content will be nice with projects, even if they organise the IEO.

profit from bounty? I think not only you feel it. until now there are also many bounties who don't get paid properly. in fact, most projects give very few bounty hunters.

The bitter truth is there are few bounty platforms out there that I have been watching for a while now and I haven't came across fake or scam projects there for example bountyhive ,I think to save time and energy joining bounties through platform is better

Some facts are true. but not all of them. Actually, Bounty hunters doing a good job here and there. Bounty programs can make a big effect on the project. Yes, sometimes good project may not want a bounty program. But It will slow down the community building speed. Actually, today bounty hunting in trouble because of the lack of rewards and scam projects. But I do not think bounty hunting will end in near future

If they were supported by the big exchange like binance, it should be good and perhaps marketing ain't so much needed. There are IEO in some exchange like LAtoken and Coinbene but the team were still doing bounty just to make sure its promoted before the trading starts. Marketing ain't bad, its about making it known to the public and the more people learn about the project the more will be interested.

Yes,just because of spammers and forum politics.

And also they got IEO which may bring huge attention than a bounty hunter do but still bounties are running so we must be grateful for it and enjoy the rewards until we can make it.

Let's not compare the projects that conducted out  IEO on such a large stock exchange as Binance.It is quite obvious that by this projects did not make sense to organize a bounty program.The traditional bounty has not gone anywhere and will not go away.Many projects collect huge sums with the help of bounty participants.And it's too early to write them off.

IEOs do not need marketing, they do not need us, bounty hunters.
ICOs need us but investors do not need them, they are unpopular.
STOs will not give us real regulated securities for our job  ::).

Bounty campaign is a big help and one of a kind tool to help project to be known and gain popularity because the fact that there are millions of bitcointalk user than the registered account of a particular exchange, many bitcointalk user are the investor itself that is why I think that bounty campaign still plays a vital rule in crypto industry.

People have a lot of reasons for not allowing bounty hunting their projects,  but there are more who values it. With great bounty managers who adhere to scrutiny i am sure projects still values bounty hunting. In any case,  hunters will find something else to do if ALL (which is impossible) good projects say no to bounties

They just change to the new trend of promoting so even good project or bad project can choose the way that want to be promoted.Untill now lot of bounties and managers are available in the forum but its surely less from the year 2017 but in the next bull run we might see the back of bounties.

So much failed bounty and crypto projects out there. Bounty Hunter are usually the endlosers in this. Even some bounty Managers are guilty as they withhold bounty payments or even pay less than accrued to bounty Hunter. It's a difficult phase that needs research to know promising projects.

Bounty hunting is an important part of the crypto world. I don't think it will Come to a time that when the services of Bounty hunters will no longer be needed.
One of the few problems of Bounty hunting is, the ill treatment of Bounty hunters by projects. Some projects refuse to pay Bounty hunters and while some pay and lock the token of Bounty hunters for a while. Most times Bounty hunters just sell off their tokens/coins for peanut.

because most of dev think, the Hunters only aim for the rewards from the start, after bounty finished and payment has been made, they immediatelly sell the rewards after got listed on some exchanger, and maybe it make the value of token itself drop then dump.

in my opinion even though the project is good, it still needs a bounty hunter to promote the project even though the project uses IEO, because if there is no bounty hunter promoting it, I am sure that although the project is good it will still be difficult to succeed because many people do not know about the project, therefore I am sure bounty hunter is still useful and will continue to survive at any time.

I will say it over and over and over, the future of bounty hunting is not fading aware nor is it uncertain. No matter how many projects will like to come to the market without the help of bounty hunters, hunters will still get projects as long as the market keeps growing and new projects come in and out granting hunters work to do.

I think the new project will make a bounty campaign so that the project is known to people. The IEO is indeed a trend now but if the IEO is from a small or medium exchanger, a new project must still carry out a bounty campaign

They surely need bounty, especially in this community we are now where it's been growing.
Lots of different advertisements they can do, and this forum is also a good way to advertise as it has millions of members if I'm not mistaken.

You are totally wrong with that belief, don't you know that most of the coins that became successful it is because of the bounty hunters here.
I really beg to disagreed with your opinion it was absolutely wrong. I also knew that majority of the community here in the forum would definitely decline to your opinion.

Nothing is certain, especially in this industry. But if you invest enough time in researching projects, you are most likely to find another great bounty programme, that will bring you enough profit in the future.

This is only your opinion. Bounty hunters is a large and relatively cheap advertising resource. And it is foolish to refuse it. In fact, the company will pay only a penny for carrying the bounty and favor, get a large. Therefore, bounty companies will continue to continue until there are new projects bounty hunters will work.

Of course, very serious companies will not resort to promoting their company using bounty hunters, but other companies that want to save their money as much as possible will always use bounty hunters, so everything will be fine.

By doing an IEO a project will not automatically reach the softcap. Here the bounty hunter has an important contribution in promoting each project, maybe for you bounty hunters are useless, but if you know about marketing you will certainly attract your talk.
I myself have thought like you that it is useless to promote something when we have a popular name, but believe in not believing that promotion can boost more income.

bounty hunters will always be there through several projects that still continue to use the bounty hunter services to promote their projects through various social media projects provided by them ... and in my opinion there have been very many successful projects even though they have campaign bounties ... but I realize bounty hunters often dumpers prices on the market ...

The future bounty hunting won't be uncertain but will be very precise and in a professional manner and finally the reward will be less and the hunter have to work harder to get the sufficient income. Most of the bounty program will be out sourced like to the Bounty0x and Bounty Platform. This because of the focussed on the project only.

Bounty program is the most profitable way (but not the most effective) to advertise new projects allowing organizers not to spend real money on advertising. Of course, bounty hunters are more interested in the value of earnings and not the project itself so in most cases advertising and earnings bounty hunters get bad.

Companies don't need to do bounty when they are already listed on an exchange, cause being listed on an exchange will make their coin available for trading already and they wouldn't have to do much of promotion like seeking for bounty hunters. And any cryptocurrency that is coming from a big company/institution doesn't really to be promoted with bounty hunters, cause there will already be lots of interest for it. Take for example, the Libra coin, you shouldn't expect Fb to do any promotion for that coin cause before it was created it was already popular cause it was coming from a big company.

after 2017 until 2018 many bounty hunters stop participating in the bounty program.
and ethereum prices fell from $ 900 to $ 150 making it weak for ico, which mostly uses ethereum.

Not all bounty hunters working because they are interested only in earnings. sure no one will advertise scam. I hold all my tokens which I have earned because I believe in any project which I promote

I think that without the Bounty campaigns, about 50 percent less people would know about the project. bounty campaigns give a lot for the new projects, but not everyone appreciates it

it's not about projects being good. Every projects wether good or bad need marketing to keep it going and bounty hunting is part of marketing.  So a project could decide not to use bounty hunting as a marketing scheme so that's just it

you got it buddy  . that is what bounty means and its for promotion to gain attention to the public but the only difference between a good and a bad project is that good projects can easily attract costumers with the help of bounties but bad projects might struggle to gain costumers since people will have a doubt to invest with them .

 the future of bounty is really uncertain becuase bounties already gain a bad reputation  . soon people will decide to stop participating on bounties  .

The future is always uncertain specially in cryptocurrency. Its also true that there are projects that do not use bounty hunters and still they are successful. In other words, bounty hunters are not an indicator of the success of a certain project. But keep in mind that hunters also contributes to the success of numerous projects out there. So i guess its just a matter of choosing the right project to support to.

Bounty hunters were very successful in 2017 because at that time ICO projects always attracted a lot of money and it was understandable to pay big hunters but now everything is different and most ICO are scam. Now the new bounty campaigns are getting smaller and the IEO trend has made many people give up so this is no longer a trend for people to make money

I guess what you're saying is true that a bounty hunter isn't really needed anymore now there are only a few good projects that are hiring bounty hunters and as we see most bounty hunters are fake accounts and that is very unfair.
I am currently not very active as a bounty hunter and now I prefer trading.

Since Crypto bounty has become unsure for many my advice is we should try as much as possible to keep joining many good projects only and with time we will be able to make big profits from the good projects ,only those who give up will lose

hunter bounty results are uncertain, but keep in mind the role of bounty hunters is very important so that a project can be successful. Don't just stick to the bounty, try trading or mining.

Well as the uncertainty today, one thing is clear that the market is very sunk,and only started to grow back,or rather of the cue ball Popper-up back,and violas while on the bottom still,and all the BOUNTY in the 18th year in fact extinct,as the IDF left the market,but it can come back,then what will happen in the future is difficult to guess

I think is not right. I think all project have need to bounty hunting. Bounty hunting make to project for successful. Bounty hunting are promoting this project.

Honestly. Bounty does not help the project be successful. Now projects can succeed in calling for investment when the IEO is doing very well, so bounty is now just a small gift for their community.

I agree, IEOs have another way to introduce products to the public without going through bounty hunters. The best bounty hunter should treat this work as a hobby and only spend a small amount of time on it.

Bounty campaigns have decreased since the bubble burst and the latest IEO crowdfunding model doesn't require much of these services anymore so there isn't likely to be a huge amount of opportunities available unless there's an increase in projects that require marketing with no upfront costs

yeah i fee that too, now IEO birth and become popular because ICO is image of scam.
IEO is launch from exchange and they don't need bounty hunter to promote that project again.
i just hope ICO can be back like before and bounty hunter get worthy work again.

It's a fact bounty hunting is gradually fading away especially with the initial exchange offering but some projects still employ the services of hunters ,also talking about fading away of bounty, some hunters are leaving too because of poor reward or too much scam projects.

Some projects that have already been listing  and their tokens already have value sometimes conduct bounty campaigns to warm up interest in the project. I think for bounty hunters there is work although and not so many as was before..well, earnings leave much to be desired )

In addition, in this case the number of investors is limited by the users of the exchange where the IEO takes place. If it is necessary to increase the number of investors, then the IEO should be on several exchanges or still advance, for example, in a bounty campaign.

True, good project usually don't need bounty because the investors know these kind of good projects will blow out and will sold out fast when the token sale start. If we are talking about IEO, IEO that hosted by binance usually will sold out easily and they don't need bounty. I think the future of bounty hunter is not good atm.

Do not think so. As they say, the year is bad, the year is good. The market was in a terrible state for a year. Hunting can resume with the movement of the market in the upward. The quality of projects hangs. Well, what do you want around fraudsters.

Bounty campaign is one of the master plans created by CEOs and developers to serve as a way of promoting so that it can be known and known to the public through various social media ... so that the campaign bounty is needed by creating altcoins to make their altcoin viral on social media and it is known by various countries ... so that in the distribution of coin allocations it is stated that the total allocation for campaign bounty is a few percent ... so the bounty campaign will never fade and will certainly always be present for all bounty hunters ...

only ICO requires bounty participants because they need a participant role to promote the ICO and also impress everyone that ICO promoted by many guarantees success.

nothing can guarantee the success of ICO. even the ICO, which holds many bounties, is also lonely with investors. only a few projects still use ICO marketing methods. most of the projects are now carrying out the IEO by working with a large exchanger.

That is expected. From the very beginning, I am aware that this kind of extra source of income is not going to last. There was no guarantee that even this forum will last as a helpful vehicle in the promotion of new crypto projects. Our role here as bounty hunters is fleeting. Let us just enjoy this bounty hunting while it lasts. But I hope this forum will still last as a great venue for crypto discussions.

I am a bounty hunter with more than 2 year experience and you know, it is getting harder to get decent profit in bounties. I consider this income is dropping although crypto is growing

Bounties have never helped any good ICO's for success. 99% of the bounty hunters are third world shit-posters who don't even have a clue about the project they're promoting. They're human bots good at copy-pasting. The most famous coins out there have no records of conducting any bounties.

That's a good thing. I hope the new companies stop conducting bounties.

Some hunters are indeed quit away from this job and forget about bounty hunting, some might still trying to achieved something and make a good Worth of rewards, it's not that easy anymore and there's a lots of things to consider before supporting projects, doing hard research will help for a good future success.

Its simple, back in 2017 its very easy to get paid joining bounties ,in that period in time you can promote and rely on one or two bounties and get good rewards but now its not the same again ,for bounty hunters to get good rewards the bounty hunter must be ready for the worst, get rid of laziness and promote many good projects then maybe you can get lucky and get good payout

There are still project that still wants to use ICO in their crowdfunding, some projects start from ICO then they go for IEO to generate more funds, and there are coins that are already in the market but still doing bounty hunting, this is to promote their coin for more awareness, it's like second round of bounty hunting.

IEO is the future.. exchange have user base , also easy trust factors for both.
User & coin owner.

Some projects will stick to what the old traditional ways of promoting their projects so there's still out there which can be done by the hunters, but with the success of IEO's it will lessen the jobs as developers will focus on how to deal with this new ways of promoting their projects and get supporters to join in.

Consider also those projects in which bouty hunters are avoiding. There are projects that does not pay good for their bounty participants and that's the reason why bounty hunters refrain from joining campaigns. I don't think bounty hunting is fading away, it's just a matter of time where project will be reliable again for bounty hunters to join.

I also think that bounty campaigns will become very profitable again. Market condition is much better now thus it also may have a good impact on bounties.

Bounty life is like the investors future.
We all depend on the outcome and future of the ICO or IEO.
We saw that IEO is the new beggining of better community.
But what just happened with IDAX.PRO and cryptomarketads? i dont know now!

If investor confidence in the ICO and IEO increases then it also has a good impact on bounty participants, I just hope that what happens to IDAX does not make many investors lose confidence.

The future of bounty hunting is very certain to those who knows how to detect good projects ,good bounty hunters spend lots if time on a particular project before deciding whether to promote the project or not ,the ball is in your court

Of course the future of bounties are uncertain. Regulators around the world are stamping down ICO's and treating them the same as full blown public offerings. This is an attempt by the banking cartel to ultimately entrench the role of investment  banks as the sole gate keepers to the capital markets.

Luckily there are some good projects, and then they are listed IEO on large exchange. And of course that makes the token price soar after being listed on exchange. For me, the bounty will not disappear so soon, it will still maintain but not as strong as before

I agree, I think bounty companies will still exist for some time, the next 2-3 years so sure, but each subsequent year will be worse than the previous one financially. Bounty hunters get less and less every year. So I think that for 2-3 years it will still be enough for this kind of earnings to completely disappear.

There is plenty of twitter account owners with alot of fake followers , not sure how this help project gain investors . There is plenty of bloggers that post blogs on sites with 0 visitors and apply for bounty . That does not help to gain investors . If bounty managers would disqualify them from participating , then probably other people with quality work would join and help project grow . Currently i don't see a reason to participate with really good blog or any other material for bounty , as the rewards is really funny , while youtubers with 10k-20k followers get like 10k worth of tokens ....

I do not think that those projects that carry out bounty, they are necessarily bad. Just the other belong to the bounty hunters now in the negative, but that does not make the project worse.

Even giant companies have their own advertising style. It will never be fade nor destroyed the bounty hunting since it helps the ICO or IEO to be successful. If they would not conduct campaigns, their sale becomes nulled. If without their supporters, there will be hassle for them to succeed.

You're partly right. If the project does not hold a bounty, it means that there are already funds for the implementation of its product. And it already speaks about serious intentions of team. But if the project holds a bounty is also not always bad.

No matter how good a project is, it still needs people (investors) out there to know more about i or the crypto enthusiast to know more about it. You can never announce yourself unless someone does and I think the future of bounty hunters is still certain for those who have the eagle eyes to detect good projects.

Bounty hunting will gradually fade away same way it is happening to airdrop. The payouts are gradually getting smaller, more participants coming in, making stakes look like peanuts. I don't agree to the part where you said good projects don't need bounty to promote it,not entirely true, bounty helps a lot. It creates awareness and trends on social media.

Bounty hunting is really uncertain, it is all because bounty hunting is always depend on the crypto market status, and we all know that crypto market is always unstable, so if we are going to take a look at the past huge dip of crypto bounty become really unprofitable because some of the project is not successful they didnt collect enough funds for thier developement.

Bounty hunting has its part to play when it comes to promoting a project but the fact is, there are numerous factors that come to play in other to achieve a successful ICO, STO or IEO. Good team work with powerful and highly in demand product is one of the factors that lead to successful projects because these are some of the factors investors look out for before investing in some projects.

Future of bounty hunting would be uncertainty because so many projects now that are ongoing and only few that are successful and some are fraud yet we join bounties for 3 to 6 months and would just ended up receiving few bucks worth of tokens. However if lucky some bounties pays tokens already on exchanges.
