The following are reasons why i think its a bad idea to stop been a bounty hunter

1. Is it just me or it happens to others too?whenever i give up on something thats when that thing will make a good turn, the moment you give up on bounty thats when good projects will come around and you will lose the chance to acquire some tokens

2. Many keeps complaining about how bad some bounty projects are but if you keep choosing projects and you keep failing you will end up been a lot smarter when choosing next time unless you arent ready to learn.

3. Who says altcoin season wont return?many projects seize continues progress because of no altcoin season,i called these projects 'weaklings' but still there will always be good days no matter how long bad days stay around,altcoin season might take longer to come but im sure it will,what about you?

I have not participated in bounty projects since early 2018, it is said that 90% of bounty projects are dishonest.  And in fact, I also took a lot of time for bounty projects.

I have been doing a lot of bounties yet I have not received a jackpot reward but that will not make me stop doing bounties. If we stop we will surely get nothing but if we continue there is a chance that we can get something.

You may be right but I can tell you is better to stay off as lots of project as just playing with hunters hard work by testing them any how and making them useless cos of market situation or just think they can change anything to suit themselves and not thinking of best way to satisfy the promoters .

of course I will continue this work personally, even though many prizes end up with fraud or poor market conditions don't make me stop being a prize hunter ... now is the time to hunt for tokens from the prize project, I'm sure there will be times when the market can recover again.

The most important thing is you do a thorough research before joining a bounty but don't expect that right after you receive the reward you can sell it right away at a good value, think like you are also an investors that won't sell at a lower price so you will be able to hold it longer and you won't complain.

Bounty hunting should also not be your main source of income, so you will be able to stay patient and will just sell at the right timing.
Of course I do believe that the altcoin season will be back and coins will start to rally, and maybe that's the time that the entire market will look better again and other bounty hunters will be back, but since we started now and hold our reward, we are one step ahead compared to them.

People expect things to always turn out the way they wanted thats why many are complaining  about bounties,after several months of promoting bounty projects and able to at least get my hands on a very good project out of the many that ive promoted in the past,the fact is good things dont come easily

It's happened several times when you are in a signature bounty campaign and you have a good rank you will want to be in the best campaign, I shifted a lot and misses the potential of the coin I've left.


Yes you do there were projects I left because my finding think it's a scam project and it turned up to be true

It depends on the and how come is the team is if they are persistent and they have something good to offer to the table, they will eventually succeed, even if the condition is not that good.

I have a brother that just make around 0.86btc from a bounty that he participated in 2018. When he encouraged me to join the bounty I disagreed with him because I have participated in many bounties that turned out to be a scam and some of them I even invested money! One thing I have learned is to participate in all the available bounties as you don't know the one that will turn profits for you. Since it is free to join I see it as a less risk compared to investing and trading.

Yeah bro, I agree with you. No matter what happens now. better keep working on bounties...
Maybe sometimes we can find your hidden gem for yourself on your bounties that you have been finished...

This is true even thou the past year is not good for bounty hunters i still believe that there's lot projects out there that will be successful and will give good profits for bounty hunters. We must never give up because our hardworking will pay off in the future.

Altcoin season might return but you haven't considered and analyze if the token reward you have will be included to that season. It's positive to have a mindset like that but you can't be sure that time will come including the reward you have. You are overconfident about altcoin season but you probably haven't seen that there were coins that didn't performed well during that time.

I continue to practice bounty. Although now it does not bring much benefit. I just love it. There is some free time, and I help projects talk about them.
The altcoin season is unlikely to return, but the hope is the last to die ;)

it is not by accident that everyone complains about bounty campaigns it is the nature of these projects that raise funds through token distribution. they are all garbage projects even if they look good or even if they get pumped for some time in their early days of life.
whether you continue participating in their campaign and work for them is another story though because that doesn't depend on goodness of the project (although it should). people only care about their payment, so the condition which people take into consideration is how much do they pay not whether they are running a good project or not.

But does it waste time and effort?
At that time you can do something to make money, it can only be suitable for those who have passive income or have plenty of free time.

yes you are right and now is not the right time to keep complaining about the market. the most important thing is that you have to be patient with these market conditions and still do your job well. I am still confident that the market can recover from this difficult time

It's not just you who experience that fate, many of us here also have gone to that scenario. It's not just bounty hunting, it is also applicable to trading. When you sell your tokens/coins as you thought that it's going down and the moment it is already sold, the price goes up, damn it's frustrating. With the current situation, i have not seen any good projects now that worth the bounty hunters promotions, maybe i am wrong but that is the reason why i stop doing bounty.

I agree that it is better to stay in the bounty campaign even though the results are not clear amid a sluggish market. Maybe the results are not as big as last year's bounty campaign, but at least when the altseason has started, the price will rise again

Ignoring those that are scams - there can still be good bounties where the coin price is low. Remember these are new projects, and we can't expect the coin price to rocket up instantly at launch. We don't have the same level of hype that we had a couple of years ago, but I think things are more realistic now.

Indeed, bounties are free to join rather than having to invest in the project, but when you join many projects, are you able to manage them? I myself will be overwhelmed by the 5 bounty projects, maybe it can if you do not have a job or are not in school.

Let's just say you joined 20 projects, I think it's already very much but the percentage of fraud from the 20 projects is bigger, it could be 80% and I don't know how much money you can get from the remaining 20%.

For me it's better to join a few projects but with clear research, so don't increase quantity but improve quality.

In addition, the new hype will be. Regardless of whether there will be fundamental reasons for this or not. And if there is a good future for using blockchain and cryptocurrency, then this will bring more benefits to those who bet on altcoins. Even despite the poor performance now. So what a hunt!

I do not care about the number of bounty participants, if they are satisfied or not. More bounty participants doesn´t mean a better quality of marketing. See bounty campaigns in 2017 = these campaigns generate tons of spam.

That's right, because it is not a good choice to stop following gifts, even though we have spent a lot of time participating in gifts, I am also sure that if we continue to work on following gifts, there will definitely be results even though not all gifts will produce many results.

I support your position. I have been involved in bounty campaigns for 2.5 years and in 2018-2019 I did not stop. I worked in order to become better in this area and now I can choose good projects

Many of my friends complain when they don't get anything during the campaign and leave their accounts when market conditions deteriorate. But not for me, the work of the bounty hunter is inherent in my life and no matter what the current market, the motivation is to buy my dream car and believe it will come true. Certainly

I have been a bounty hunter since I first entered the world of cryptocurrency.  ups and downs of bounty hunter income are common, especially in the current circumstances.  precisely now is the right time to keep abreast of the bounty and choose the best bounty campaign.  Altcoin season is coming soon, I believe that by continuing to follow the existing bounty, there will be results

You have to choose good projects to start doing bounties. Because there are so many scam projects. That's why you need to do your own research about projects. You can find about a project, team, future updates etc before start any bounty campaign. The next thing is the total allocation and number of participants.

Take a look at the project in my signature. We have many bounties that pay well. We also do a weekly airdrop. Come and look in our discord

The question you have to tell yourself. is it worth to waste your time to catch this one project where you really make a bit of money on it or should you put the time in to move yourself forward, learn something to make a steady income from it.

if you are okey with bountys and the fact that the most won't give you any profit.. do bountys, its ok.

There have really been a lot of weak projects lately, so I'm not sure that you need to spend all your time on bounty such projects. You can promote several projects that you believe in and that you like, but only if you really believe in the project. Because if you work in a bounty weak project and it does not collect Soft Cap, then you will not earn anything.

For bounty hunter who cannot make or earn tokens, they are giving up and consider that bounty campaign is not profitable anymore. But maybe the other people still think that bounty campaign can work and give them the token although the price is not good to sell right now. But if you still want to continue as a bounty hunter, then you don't have to think about the other because they will have different decision than you. The good project will come back to the right track, and they will finish the project with reaches the goals.

Hrm... This thread creates the urge to tell all you "Bounty Hunters" to...

Get a Real Job!

Because seriously guys, 95% of current projects and anything in the past year isn't making anyone money.

Most projects can't even raise the soft cap or atlest break over $1million invested.
Crypto Projects have never been this bad before now, and the ICO market is literally dead.
There is near 0 investor trust and nobody wanst to "donate" to some garbage project created by some idiot who lives in moms basement.

Face it.
If you didn't make bank on the Bounty market over the last 3-4 years, you missed the boat leaving port.
And then, instead of waving good bye, you dove into the ocean and swam after it, desperately trying to get on board.

So desperate, that you swam with all your strength and gained some ground. Just as you were nearing this bounty ship the passengers started throwing out ropes to help you and just as you were climbing up, seeing all that hard work about to pay off...
The damn ship hits a gigantic iceberg called the 'dreamkiller'.

The smart people got on life rafts and bailed out...

The rest are just pacing back on forth on the deck, wasting time until the thing sinks. Hoping some "Developer" will come up with the right idea to save this abandoned piece of floating garbage  :-\

While it is advisable not to stop being a bounty hunter because of the current market conditions, the best thing to do is keep improving personal skills and professions so as to be very less dependent on bounty hunting. Bounty hunting is reducing and rather sooner than later the normal bounty hunting jobs will become out of fashion, being skillful will not.

Yes I agree with you most of my friend who used to be a bounty hunter have quit because of the current situation.
But I still believe thatit is still worth it we just need to be on the right project to get paid.
And of course it isn't like back then , Now we have to rely on our trading skills to make it worth it.

I was inactive in the forum for about 8 months. Now I see the number of bounty participants has been heavily decreased. I think people who are still active in bounty campaigns are those who are really hopeful of cryptocurrencies, but cannot afford to invest. They make efforts to earn some tokens for future purposes. Bounty hunters think about future not now.

i'm one of those guys. i'm not sure if the altcoin season will ever return in less than 5 years actually but i'm hoping i'd still be alive after 10 years to see how much projects have grown over the years. who knows the TRX i have collected today which is just less than 5cents would be worth like ETH today - this is me being very hopeful. but i'm afraid my day job is demanding more time than being in the forum though and this must be the challenging part for those who are into crypto but has not much to invest.

Many people give up on bounties because we are not in a very good season but what is going to happen if we enter altcoin season and only bad projects get released?its really unwise to stop promoting bounties because of present market condition

1. Not all projects would make a U-turn so this one can be considered somewhat a gambling.

2. I do agree with this but no matter how smarter you are, you cant still avoid those fraud projects.Engaging to a scam project for a long time is such a waste of effort and time.

3. There would be definitely an altcoins season but only the good projects will really have that chance to U-turn.

Of course, the bounty participants earn now far from what it was in 2017, but this is understandable, because the crypto market dipped, and the number of cryptocurrencies and projects has increased. But nevertheless, those who understand the bounty companies and understand that they can give good money will definitely continue to work. I am one of them and I think that it is necessary to continue the work no matter what and in the near future this work will definitely be appreciated.

What's good project for you as a bounty hunter, is it the amount you'll gain after the bounty or is the use case of the project? If I were you examine first the bounty you want to join so that you'll have no regrets when lasted.

I doubt that at this point may be the earnings in the bounty is very good , gone are the days when each project is allowed to earn very good money , now with the ico does nothing to earn a long time ago.

We don't have power to influence other hunters to continue doing bounties where the market condition looks bad. Maybe they are just resting to avoid more loses from their wallets. Resting is far different from giving up. Once the market turn to high tide again they will be a massive return of hunters, investors, and managers to get back to work again.

At all times, there were good bounty campaigns on which you could earn. Previously, there were more, now fewer. The main thing is to learn how to find such projects. If you can learn this, then you can always earn.

yes, we still earn regardless of market condition as a bounty hunter but we all cannot deny the fact that we can realy earn massively when market is soaring the sky. But we should not let the market condition stop us from what we are doing because when the bulls come, we earn many alts that  can go skyrocket in price.

agree, I think as long as there is still bounty hunting, maybe you should take advantage of that moment and forget about what other people say about the bad bounty hunting now, and from bouny hunting, we can collect a lot of tokens from fundraising projects and serve as an investment for the next few years.

of course, even though there are a lot of bounties now that don't provide much profit or the market is falling in price we can't give up on participating in bounties and don't make bounties our main job. believe, altcoin season will arrive soon

I gave up on joining bounty because I always joined scam bounty or only give $ 2- $ 5 for month's work, one of my friends encouraged me to join bounty, he also advised me not to give up under any circumstances. my friend also said to have earned $ 700 when I'm inactivity. from there I thought if I would not give up joining bounty

Try to collect the most possible amount of altcoins right now, because crypto winter is coming to its end. When Bakkt exchange is going to launch their services and BTC dominance will fall, altcoins from bounties will show their full potential.

Yes, but unfortunately, with regards to the bounty, there are a lot of scams in the bounty now, and even those projects that you check with the utmost care, cease to exist a couple of months after the start. Over the past year and carefully selected companies, out of 100 companies for only 1 I received more or less normal payments. Honestly, after such statistics, there is not much desire to work. But I will not give up  8)

Research and studies is the most important thing in joining a bounty or any bounty in this community.
Try to choose also a bounty with an active IEO for now this will bring more percentage of success.

Stopping being a hunter is too strong a decision I can ever make. How i even wish I started earlier. The present conditions are not appealing, its not comfortable, you can work for months without getting a penny but should we consider quitting? hell no. Know the reason why you started and if that alone motivates you, then its cool to continue. Just understand times and seasons.

My ample opinion is for every bounty hunter to re strategize and blend with times like this
So instead of giving up; note down your mistakes

Improve on your mistakes and increase your bounty participation skills
Good luck

Gone are the days that bounty hunting was really appetizing and cool to work for and still get something out of it. Off late, bounties are not paying as it use to be and basing on the present conditions to make a decision of quitting is not a good idea at all. It won't remain this way all the time, good times will come and bounty will be worth working for.

Despite that bounty hunting is actually not as profitable as 2017, but I agree with you that it is still somehow profitable if you participate only in the most promising campaigns linked to good projects. Actually, it is not easy to find these projects but it is an essential condition to avoid wasting time and effort with worthless campaigns.

Nice your a positive thinker you're kind of people not giving up easily have an big chance to get successful in the future to get huge rewards for patience and hard work. Some of the bounty project is scam but not all theres a lot pf bounty project are legit and honest for the investors and hunters.

I think now I am also excited to join the bounty, because the growth of crypto prices is now also starting to grow, so I believe the development of the project from ICO will also be more developed

If earlier bounty companies were a good additional source of income for me, now I take part in them simply by inertia. 1-2 bounty companies at the same time. Unlike the past. Now you have to choose very carefully, so as not to be deceived.

Promoting bounties and not getting anything in return is the reason why many bounty hunters stop joining bounty projects,no matter how smart you are when selecting bounty projects you will still choose wrongly and there is no way to predicts any projects outcome,i as a person don't think i will stop hunting for good bounties even if i never get paid and im sure i will get lucky someday

It also happens to me all bounty hunters also experience that, although I am not active in ICO signature bounty hunting I still taking part on social media bounty but getting Bitcoin is now my priority because of the coming all-time high that I believe will happen this year or early next year.

Now more than ever it's hard, it's hard for new altcoins to keep going the competition is harder, even potentially good project cannot keep up.

Current conditions are not stable for some bounty hunters. But for me, the current conditions are very good to participate. Because altcoin season will be coming soon with full of surprises.

That's a really stupid reason for continuing.
Can you imagine a gambler saying: "If I stop gambling now, then I surely won't win a jackpot"

It's the same here, only you're gambling with your time and getting almost nothing in return.
How much are you being paid anyway, if you honestly look at how much time you've spent.

Can't be more than a couple of dollars per hour. A minimum wage job would earn you more than that.

As a bounty hunter, I won't stop, because being like this was a good one compare to other source of opportunity out there.
and I already got earned in some of the ico in which I had joined before. Just important is before you join, make a research
first before participating in the campaign project, or you can ask before you start in it. Honestly, most of the ICO now even IEO
are not good in terms of the duration period of their campaign. Its really hard to find a good and potential project campaign,
so be wise like a serpent as a bounty hunter.

Giving up solves nothing keep fighting as a hunter till break even point. Stop when bounties has stopped given bounty campaign still exist, keep pushing on.

I always convince myself, luck can come to anyone. As long as we want to try our best. Moreover, cryptocurrency is quite difficult to predict, many things happen beyond expectations. Of course, the experience will teach us many things. The latter condition is that many bounties are a scam, don't go listing, etc. My tips for avoiding that are doing an in-depth analysis, looking for projects that working products and listed on the exchange.

since 2018 I have participated in the bounty and the fact is that until now I have received nothing, there isn't much I can do just keep learning from previous experiences and good luck coming.

I understand your concern. But please take a look at the recently concluded ICOs. I have analyzed some of the ICOs which went online during the last 3 months. Out of my list, less than 4% were successful. Most of them failed to reach the soft-cap level, and many of those projects which could attain soft-cap went down after the listing in the exchanges.

On average, that means that if you take part in 25 bounty campaigns, you may get good rewards from just one campaign. Are you willing to take this risk? And nowadays social media bounty reward is too low. You may get good rewards only if you participate in translation or signature bounty. But the issue with these are that you can only participate in one campaign at a time. Still want to go for the bounties?

That's how I felt before in 2018. So many tokens that can not be sold. But I am still active until now. And finally, bounty coins in 2018 have a price. Like MB8. Waiting for 1 year is not in vain.

In my opinion, we cannot just let go of this opportunity especially when doing this simple task we can have a slight chance to turn the table of our life. So if there is an opportunity like some new bounties I will join them as long as I'm qualified mostly BTC Signature campaign because this is the most popular Bounties that paying their participant at a higher rate.

It all depends on us if we want to try our luck on these bounties until then we cannot know if which will gonna make us earn a big amount of money and which one will gonna fail us on the future. All we need to do is keep trying and use our past experience to choose the right bounty out there.

I agree that the hussle could be discouraging atimes, owing to the fact that there are several scam projects and even the legit ones refuse to pay bounty hunters and others tend to reduce the allocation and impose stringent measures after the completion of the bounty to reduce the hunters for payment. In all these irregularities, giving up is not an option, I've come to realise that there's no absolute loss in this industry. If you're unable to profit from the tokens, then you've profited from the experience. We all know that experience is the best teacher and we can't always get what we want. The better days are yet to come and only those who tarry in the industry would enjoy when it comes.

Bounty hunting is quite lucrative if you find a good project and you'll be doing yourself a great misfortune to allow the few set backs through you off guard. The truth is that every campaign you join leaves you with some experience which would be handy in subsequent campaigns.

Now there are very few good ICO projects, which, moreover, promise good profits. On BountySuite, yesterday, there were a few campaigns that ended in a couple of days. Only one project remained to work. Yesterday, however, there were daa new projects. One does not have a signature campaign, and the second promises payments to Tron with a total pool of three hundred dollars. I basically will not join such a project with such symbolic earnings.
Of course, we still have the right to choose and it depends on the amount of our free time and other circumstances.

I agree with you but at present most of the projects we have campaigned paying just worth of pennies & even most of the projects not paid the rewards due to the scam or failure of the project. In the past one year I didn't receive a good reward from any bounty. Still I have high expectation from the bounties that I am doing currently will give good fruit in the future because I am quite positive about the market.

Yes, that’s the problem. That we all have a desire to work, but unfortunately there are no companies that would be worthy of the time spent on them. And of course, we have no choice but to hope for successful projects in the past.

Why would I stop being a hunter because of the present conditions? The present conditions were not same for the past and it means it won't remain same and will definitely change with time. Know the reason why you started bounty hunting and that alone will keep you going. Your breakthrough might be at the corner so why stop? We will surely continue to hunt.

present condition same with moment while bitcoin occur in the world.bounty reward was has less value, but slowly but sure world recognize this technology and they participate too.and now its moment repeated ,bitcoin and cryptocurrency become more popular than before.it means in future this market has possibility to recovered again, and its have good consequences to bounty reward.

Conditions like what is happening now will not continue and there will be an end. Many bounties with good projects and I think if we stop now, we will regret later. The market will always move dynamically, there are times when it goes up and there are times when it goes down as well as in the cryptocurrency market

When people say that many bad projects now, I think it's because he chose the wrong project or campaign. I think there are still many good projects that are worth doing.
I am still sure that the altseason will come on the right coin and the altseason will not occur on shitcoin. With the current strong dominance of bitcoin, in my opinion it is not good for the market and investors will shift their investment to good altcoins and at the moment I think many good projects have sprung up

I think there are many good projects that can be done. Many projects have coins that have been traded in the market if they don't want to work on bounties on new projects. New projects may be risky but I think there are some new projects that have the potential to be profitable if we work on the bounty campaign

Being stop or continue as a bounty hunter will depend on each people because they are responsible for what they did. If you think that you can accept whatever that will happen later, then you can go on and continue as a bounty hunter. But if you think that the rewards from being a bounty hunter are not worth, and it's only waste your time, then you can let it go, and you can search the other way to make money. We all free to decide for what we want to do because we are not bond in one or another project. But we should think twice before we decide to join in the project so there will be no regret from us in the future. Joining as a bounty hunter will need big effort to work because not all project can reach their goals and success in the future.

A good project is not guaranteed of success upon the listing of tokens. I have seen a lot many good projects failing to achieve the soft-cap levels. Even those which managed to achieve the soft-cap got destroyed upon listing. The prevailing market sentiments can have a huge impact on the success of the ICOs. During 2017, even bad projects could manage to get a decent listing. Two years later, that is not the case.

Another thing to remember is that many of the projects go for the ICOs too soon. They should wait at least until the initial phase of the development is over. What happens is that after the ICO, the development comes to a complete halt and in many cases the promoters vanish with whatever money they could get by dumping their tokens. So a project may be a good one or a bad one, but that alone doesn't guarantee a positive reaction from the market.

Good projects are usually among bad projects. Everyone has their own criteria for choosing a campaign / project.

However the name for the altcoin season will occur to potential altcoin and not shitcoin it will not happen unless shitcoin is supposed to increase.

yep I agree just don't give up, there are still good bounties out there and gives a huge reward if you are lucky, but you should research the project first before to join the bounties, not just joining without doing research.

huge awards were in 2016-2017. Now you can just make good money if you choose the right project. the choice of a bounty manager is also very important

That is true, we cannot discredit all projects generally, it is impossible to have everyone coming into the cryptocurrency industry to raise fund for one project for scam purpose. We still have lots of genuine projects out there which I have participated in some of them, but before I participate, I only ensure that I have at least 70% of trust in them based of their product, their team and their level of understanding also about the project they are proposing.

If we all give up on some of these projects, that how will the crypto market continue, at least ICO is still helping create awareness for people about cryptocurrency which still gets majority of them to make one or two investment in bitcoin also and other genuine top coins that we have.

Now the ICO market is not the same as in 2017. Doing everything bounty is time consuming and unprofitable. My advice to you is to wait for really worthwhile projects. There can be two or three of them per year, but they will be worth the time spent.

Cryptocurrency will never get enough of a new project coming in, just like in the younger days of the internet, Cryptocurrency is a young community or industry everyone company are welcome to create their own niche here and as a bounty hunter it's important that we get a part of this new concept.


The market always repeats itself,  it's a cycle that will continue to evolve, we will see the market dropping and going up it's a normal cycle that we should get accustomed to ourselves.
We must learn how to take the opportunity in the bear and bull market, and of course what a better to get to know the project by being one of its promoters as a bounty hunter.

You need to be careful to choose the right project because never know which project could get success in the future. Almost all of the project has the potential to scam the people, and only people who can analyze with the right will survive at this moment. But you cannot depend on the project itself because I am sure that you can find another type of work so you can continue to make money and when the project can reach their goals, I think the bounty hunters can also make another money as their profit.

It's hard to find a great project right now compare to what we have back 2017, but if you are so active in 2017 bounty campaign, you'll know for sure that there is huge money to be made as a bounty hunter, forward 2019 I believe we still can find a great project that can give us huge reward, as long as there are projects launching bounty campaign, bounty hunters should not give up.

Come on you. There is interest. Let's tell the student a normal lesson in the evening to write an article on speed and get money for a date. I think this is better than standing at the counter at McDonald's.

If the market rises again. Definitely not going to affect the bounty campaign. Because more and more people are entering this forum. Not to mention people who use multiple accounts, if a small allocation in the campaign will certainly get a little.

Personally, I am really tired of the 1 year time where the bounties I participated in during that time period were not available for sale. many say and are pessimistic that tokens are dead and useless. but I stick to my belief, that it is true that this is not the season for altcoin and bounty. but there must be that day, the day where altcoin will rise and the bounty will also rise. therefore I survived, and still survive to this day.

It could be discouraging, have decided to give up at one point or the other but seeing stories like this and a lot of persons being lucky with certain bounties always encourage me. I have been lucky with few but still hopeful to hit it mega

You are very much right, there is still a great opportunity with Bounty, I believe when as a hunter every project you participate in turns out bad, you have to retrace your step, make thorough investigation before you join

I really understand how it can be so painful bro, working hard and getting nothing in return, but if we still give up completely, we will end up getting nothing at all.  We still have many projects out there, so we just have to participate in them carefully and believe that at least 1 out of 5 that we engage in will really pay us something tangible and also respect our work.

We have so many people that sits in a gambling place/site from morning till night, even committing money without getting anything in return, but for hunters, it only requires our time, although time is money, but in this case, we just have to risk it and hope that our work will not go in vain on some of the projects that we do. In fact, before the project ends, we would have been seeing signs of non-seriousness in them if they are.

There is a pay day for every hustle though as long as one is consistent, smart and focused, can be discouraging atimes but never giving up is one of the attributes of successful people and it is applicable everywhere.

It is true what you say. Do not stop to become a bounty hunter because when we start giving up to start and are afraid to fail it is a bad start, because everything requires a process and from that failure we start to be more careful in choosing bounty projects that we think are good and have great potential to provide benefits.

with the current conditions, certainly many of us as bounty hunters feel that they are doing things in vain because almost all bounties today do not provide the appropriate rewards, in fact I often follow bounties that do not provide rewards as promised, although there is often a sense of surrender and want to stop but I still continue to survive and hope that someday there will be a bounty that gives me huge rewards

Yes you are right that bounties could be very discouraging because  of many failed trials but how will one get a positive result if not by'not giving up'?if you have the mindset of 'nothing good comes easily' failure wont be a problem and you will keep getting better each day

That number one thoroughly explains what I am experiencing most times, I cannot count the number of times I have sold a token, only to have it go 500%+ in a short period of time, or the times I decided to go into a coin and have to watch it dip so much, it's really discouraging sometimes.

true what you say, do not ever stop if you do not want to miss a successful project, of all the bounties that we follow I'm sure not all fraud.
I have joined many bounty scams but I never give up I'm sure one day there will be a successful bounty. and one of the most important things in my life is the motivation of my friends, because that makes me continue to follow the bounty and never give up even though many are scam.

Many are led by conditions in making decisions so far as crypto or bounty hunting is concerned. Relying or depending on the present condition of bounty hunting will definitely make you quit but on a second thought, what if your best project or your breakthrough project was just nearer despite the current conditions. No condition is permanent in crypto.

Bounty hunting is excellent in my opinion and is rewarding. I keep myself invested in bounty hunting and trading as well. The points that you mentioned are great. And hopefully, the Altcoin season will come soon.

Good for you but majority of bounty hunters doesn't have the same situation as yours yet most of them do end up on receiving no pay at the ends or do just earn peanuts with their how many months of task or work towards projects promotion.

You cant blame people not to make comments on the current condition of bounty hunting and it do also mix out some sort of luck when finding a good one.

Why should we stop? Its like lottery. Some day some project would work and most wont. Its just little effort in getting this tokens or coins. We should keep this as hobby.

I have been scammed several times but that has never given me the idea to stop hunting. I join most bounties not only because of their captivating rewards (although that is paramount) but to also assist the projects achieve their aim. Even though conditions are bad now, I am still joining bounty campaigns so as to help in any way I can.

This is true, the present situation shouldn't keep you away from being a hunter, but this is a time to research for good project bounties,there are some good projects still out there. Also if you like investing, this is the time to buy some potential coins at a good  price. Seize every opportunity that comes your way.

Giving up is not the best option, there are still alot of good project out there that can turn bounty hunters to a millionaire, I know people that have cashout good $$ with bounty, so for me giving up because one or two bounties disappoints or fails is not the best thing.

From the first time I got to know the bounty of gifts there were only a few that I got a gift, seeing the conditions now I want to stop from the gift of gift, that's not a good thing at least as we continue barburu we will get a prize after they succeed later

The bounty campaigns (not all of them but most of them) turned out to be something not worth the efforts. Peoples lose alot of efforts and time for nothing. Sometimes there's scam attemps where our hopes and beliefs turn out to be "Nothing". I highly recommend the hunters to opt for the good projects only, there's alot of shitty projects there offering zero value to the crypto community but they are getting support..unbelievable.

I’m not generalizing but some bounty hunters here consider bounties to be their source of income and some do not have much choice to choose from so even in times like this they still continue. It’s not unknown to everyone that bounties can be considered a gamble. It takes luck to find a profitable project. Sometimes even if their tokens are already listed in exchanges they still don’t get good value. Sad but this is the truth.

All real bounty hunters understand that the current situation will not last forever. The good times will soon come, because after the bad things always come the good and vice versa. Those who are not serious about crypto have long left it and only real crypto enthusiasts remain.

The present condition for bounty hunting won't last or would be the same forever. Bounty hunting will still put on a better shape in a different condition and despite the present condition, its up to you as an individual to be ready to learn and know how to choose a proper project to promote. Not all project deserves to be promoted and don't let the present conditons stop you from hunting.

Participation in the bounty campaign gives extra money. In fact, I'm communicating on the forum and this gives me the opportunity to make money.
Of course, you need to choose a project wisely, conduct a thorough analysis.
Yes, now everyone is scared of the situation that is happening with altcoins. But you're right, the altcoin season will come soon, so don't rush to despair.

I want to say that refused to participate in the bounty only those who have accumulated sufficient assets and they started trading or started their own business.All the others participate and still hope to find good projects and wait for the season of altcoins.

This is very true. Never give up at any time. Infact there are so many things on this crypto space that you learn which are applicable to the world out there...and that includes this issue of not giving up.  And I have come to learn that, the more you engage in bounty, the more you are able to learn alot about what bounty campaigns entail and this will help you make a good decision when choosing your next project that you want to campaign for. We don't stop learning in the cryptospace

Been a bounty hunter is not easy. Every bounty hunter shouldn't depend fully on ICO or IEO project, cos it will keep you frustrated while waiting for bounty payments.

Although there are many projects who fail to deliver for their investors that's why bounty hunters seem to avoid joining bounty campaign. But I guess it better to choose which bounty campaign suitable to join and not. It's up for us bounty hunters to decide which of those many bounty campaigns are promising to the point that it's worth our time.

People need to understand that participating in a bounty program is like playing in a casino. You may get lucky or you may lose your time. I do not want to say that now is a bad time for the ICO. Because it's not. I have a lot of friends who today get a very good profit from the sale of their tokens that they received a year ago. So don't despair and do the things you believe in.

No one knows that bitcoin can actually worth this much today and there are many examples of coins and tokens that start very low and have become huge in crypto space today,promoting bounty projects is a risk worth taking because you dont know what the project might become in near future,since no one can predict the future its best to take the risks,they might actually bring something worthfull you never dreamt of in the future

If you participate with wrong projects then it's a waste of time indeed, but who knows as chances can still give you opportunities to find the right one that will generate good outcome, it's a matter of your understanding to continue and not to be afraid of finding project that will somehow makes a good outcome, stay positive and move forward.

Unfortunately bounty is really in a very bad shape, most of them turn scam or the coin got no value at all, and sometimes the value is too small that it isn't worth the time, from hundred of bounty the one that success is not more than 5, many bounty need to do multiple job to be able to get some money

the reason why I am still a bounty hunter even when project scams are everywhere and the price of coins is falling is because I still believe that joining gifts is a good way to earn money, I am just out of luck because even though everything is getting worse but actually there is still a bounty that is really good and makes the participants earn enough money therefore I want to continue to look for bounties like that

Bounties are in very bad shape starting from 2018 but few projects have proven that good projects will always find their way to crypto space,gowithmi is an example of good bounty project of this year and many dont even bother to promote the project because they think its not promising and this is why i think its really a bad idea to stop hunting for good bounty projects,you will end up missing very good projects of this year if you stop now

Yes, it is, but don't despair greatly. In general, if you spend a time, there is an opportunity to find a good bounty campaing. I agree that bounty companies are becoming increasingly miserable, but what else can you expect in such a market?
Personally, I consider participation in the bounty campaign primarily not in terms of earnings. Of course, I strive to find the best offer, but it doesn't always work. I already communicate on the forum, it’s also interesting for me to participate in discussions and find out some useful information about the experience of other traders. Therefore, essentially doing what I doing,  and I get paid for it.

I totally agree with you. I still regrade that why i quit bounty hunting. And also agree with that altcoin season will come no matter how much it's take time. I didn't work as a hunter at least one year and this time many good projects came and still trade with good price in good exchange. Doesn't matter now because good projects will come but it's a bad idea to quit hunting because of some shit projects and frustration.

It's not just you, sometimes when you leave a bounty project  because you weren't sure it's genuine or be successful, it ends up doing great.
As for bounty projects, only few get successful because it's actually just few ICO and IEO that gets to the success point, but that shouldn't discourage a bounty hunter, just keep doing research to find those projects with prospect. Also while you do hunting, try to get something else doing that pays also, so you don't tirelessly wait for reward and get discouraged.

Bounty hunting will not pass but will reach another phase where bounty programs will not be presented as they are now. It will get to a time where bounty programs will run based on the influential level of the participants especially those with large telegram channels and groups, large followers on medium and steemit and those with personal webistes with large traffics.

Will try to answer your question

1. When you and others leave the altcoin bounty, those scammer who run or create Fake/scam ico will be less and there will be only legit bounty appeared, that's why you will miss good ICO/IEO.

2. True. You and others will learn the lesson, but fyi those scammer are clever too to make you and others falling to their trap again.

3. It will, but no one can predict it.

Yes your vision is right. There will always have a right time in everything. We can say that this is not yet the right time of altcoin but time will come that it will came and when you quit now you don't have chance to win back what you loss. We need more patience to find a good campaign and I know that this is hard but when we found it is really worth it,all we need is to invest patience also.

What many don't understand is if they stop promoting bounty project because  of the present market condition how will they make profit if suddenly altcoin season comes out of nowhere?atleast you must have some coins in holdings for you to take advantage of altcoin season right? And if you think you will start joining bounty projects after altcoin season arrives how sure are you that it will stay for longer till the bounty you promoting is over? some bounties takes more than 3 months before it ends and more than that before distribution day

You are all right. Just do not rely heavily on earnings for participating in the bounty. Nevertheless, most of the companies are a scam, and you need to be able to sort such companies.

Yes, we've all been there at some point. That's why you don't stop at trying to find a good bounty. Even though they are hard to find, they will show up eventually like I have right now. 2018 was not a good year to bounty hunt and it turns out that there was a lot of good bounties that I've missed.

I'm sure there will come a time where altcoin will rise. Since this is a good year for BTC, some altcoins will have the opportunity to grow significantly in the near future. Some bounty projects might even be successful. We just have to be patient because good things comes to those who wait.

I like the spirit, its not over until it's over, that you haven't hit the jackpot doesn't mean that you wont, just strive harder and be persistent and committed and you will surely meet that project that will fulfil your wish

Yeah I still doing bounty work and hope that I can make some money. I join some of bounty most of the project are ieo so I am hoping to make some money.

The dream is over brother. There is no altseason that can save the bounty campaign. If you are wandering around and out of this forum, you will find many factors why good bounties are starting to disappear. The whole game has changed and bounty was only significant because cryptocurrencies was never mentioned on mainstream before so they had to use btctalk.

People do not realize that earning now 100USD would mean 1000USD profit in 2017 because almost everything has fallen 10 times.

yeah, that's right.
we don't know when the opportunity will come, so we have to stay afloat as bounty hunters. if it stops now, the good chance will disappear and we will regret it.
 
initially it will be a little difficult, but as you say "we just have to be patient because good things come to those who wait". so, lest we miss all the opportunities that might be valuable in the future.

I agree with point 2. But failed here divided, first failed ICO scam, and failed the project itself. Ico scam can be felt if point 2 above has been understood. Failed project is unpredictable because some projects with bright ideas can fail halfway. Many factors and I myself also do not understand why a good project Failure.

The only way you can get to choose that one is when you participate in every of the 20, because if you base it in research alone, it is very difficult to really separate the bad ones from the good ones because right now, we now have so many professional scammers, that will make their whitepaper look real, and you can even contact them via phone or email from them to look real to you, but in the end, it end up being a very bad project.

So, except you stay off hunting or you just keep participating in every project, but where I do help myself is to look for the most talked about, and then do further research on them  before I can be convinced if it is worth my time or they are just there to waste my time.  We should never give up on research anyway, we should just let out instinct direct us.

It's either you stop or be a good researcher of a good coin to promote, you only need to choose between the two, we must admit this is the hardest time in bounty hunting so many people are now shifting to promoting gambling sites like me, but I still do other bounties besides using my signature.

Any hunter that have the mindset to succeed in bounty hunting will never quit because only losers do quit. Yes, the time is hard now but there was a time when bounty hunting was very rewarding too.
Persistency and a careful selection of project(s) is capable of yielding good results even in this trying time.

  Bounty hunters have a lot of difficulties. But I really found this work very useful for myself. Because they help me make money without much capital, gain more knowledge about trading as well as about the crypto market. so I really enjoyed this job. Be patient because there are many potential projects for us

I will definitely do this bounty things, it's did not take too much time, I just doing it in free time.
And this  is also my trust in cryptocurrency that this market would rise, standstill, and someday made me and others who have early saving of coins become rich. Someday....

I think that now you can find a good bounty although it does make it much harder than before. But the earnings of the bounty hunters fell of course. Now no one is counting on "thousands" of dollars.

Bounty is just not as good source of income as it used to be a couple of years ago, that's the main reason. And many people are just tired of this boring activities I think, their motivation is too weak :)

I myself noticed that every day I have less desire to work. Payments come very rarely, and if they come, they are very small. Any sense of work is lost. Perhaps the era of the bounty has passed.

I think the good times are around now. The reason that people got discouraged was because of ICO scam but now that ieo and already listed coins are beginning to come up, you might be lucky to own a very reputable coin. Anyway, giving up on something is not really the best thing to do.

Honestly the present condition is not favorable for hunters,Imagine participating in bounty for two months and eventually the reward is not up to $2, my ordeal with a lot of them this period but I am still hopeful that those tokens will gain value someday and I am keeping them

It's been honestly frustrating going by the tremendous pull down of the crypto industry at large. The bounty hunting niche hasn't been attractive as it use to be. Though some projects still come up with surprises every now and then, ultimately, the bounty hunting business is dwindling. The best way to stay afloat is to keep doing as many as possible bounties and hoping for the best. I still believe it is still worth the effort and time.

It really does happen and all conditions can never be the same. why stop being a bounty hunter why you know your 'why of starting', never based on the present conditions to decide for the future because the present conditions of bounty hunting will never remain the same, what it changes the next day day after you quit? what if you have no tokens to sell when the market becomes perfect?

It's important to avoid some automated platforms that specilise in listing shitcoins, they are a killer of bounty spirit, after working for months, only to be told that the project didn't meet softcap or project will never list. Bountyhive is a bad platform that kills one's bounty zeal. I prefer projects on bitcointalk, you get expert reviews.

It happens to every one of us one time or another and it could happen to bounty hunters anytime

It's ok to complain if the project is bad or dubious you are even encouraged to report it, so they cannot scam people and you help minimize scam projects


It's always a good idea to stick to project that will offer value in the future and don't just rely on the present condition

"There is time for everything", this is one of the most common saying used in our everyday life. Bounty hunters that understand this saying and heed to it patiently always enjoy the fruits of their labor at the long run. Cryptocurrency projects take time to reach their full potentials hence it will take the relentless bounty hunter to sail through successfully as he continuously participate in good bounty programs.

Of the many bounty projects in circulation, there must be a number of bounties that can truly provide satisfying results.  So, before you participate in a bounty, all you have to do is research the bounty so it doesn't get caught up in a scam project.
 Never give up, continue to do your job as a bounty hunter, if you stop then you will never get anything.

There are times when we also think about quitting because we are disappointed with what we are participating in a project with unsatisfactory results from hard work, for days, weeks, months, waiting for tokens to be sold, so many tokens in the wallet  you have no value at all, you must now be good at finding and choosing projects

Never stop to be a bounty hunter and don't give up. Every bounty hunter feels that they are having trouble generating a good project. So it seems to feel to stop being a bounty hunter. But it is better not to give up because the Bounty project still has great potential. Many projects are still running and growing.

People expect things to always turn out the way they wanted thats why many are complaining  about bounties,after several months of promoting bounty projects and able to at least get my hands on a very good project out of the many that ive promoted in the past,the fact is good things dont come easily

I agree with the author of the topic,I also see no reason to refuse to participate in the bounty.If you have free time and energy,why not?Moreover, over time, earned coins can bring a good profit.

number 1 is true  and it does not only happen to you but it happen to all of us including me , i notice that when i stop on one thing like for example on betting on the lottery my winning number will come out the next day but this doesnt happne on the lottery but it does happen on several things including on bounty/airdrop hunting   .  i have missed many good projects on the past just because i have taken a break  .

about the numbers 2 and 3  , i think they are dependent   .

The fact is that many bounty campaigns are frauds nowadays. I have been conned many times after I do the campaign and do the publicity, the managers just keep on delaying and delaying. But I also have been rewarded in the past.
Nowadays, I think we should be wise in choosing our campaigns as to not to be caught in any type of fraud.

I guess giving up as a bounty hunter is not the best rather we can be selective in our choice of campaign to be able to settle for the best, don't give up.

Being a bounty hunter comes with some challenges which are directed towards one's development. Several bounty hunters get discouraged because of some set backs but that shouldn't be the case. In every case there's something to benefit, either the experience or the tokens are both beneficial.

Honestly am thinking if there will ever be the good old days of bounty huñting, if there would ever be it's certainly not going to be the old ways we have ever known, everyday hundreds of projects kick off and some doesn't make it past ieo, cus of failure to raise enough fund irrespective of how real their project is, the issue is there are so many existing trading altercoin, and I really do think there isn't enough money to go round to every projects, let alone new ones.
I have study sets of project that was able to pass Tru the ieo phase, I discover most of them just trade for few weeks and begins to decline in trade volume.

I choose to stay as a bounty hunter, indeed there is often a sense of surrender because the bounty that is followed does not provide rewards as promised, but I am sure that there is still a good bounty if we are able to be thorough and selective in looking for it, I have confidence that the bounty can still provide profit for bounty hunters

1. It is just you probably and quite a normal phenomena. Its like you see the price of bitcoin low and as soon as you sell your coins, just after few days you see the price rise. And don't see a problem here. If you give up, you can always join back once you see a good project.

2.You will keep failing and then you will get frustrated not smart. Out of frustration you will take stupid steps that will make you feel more imbecile.

3. What's up with people using the term "altcoin season". The term itself sounds stupid.

there are many new bounty campaign in each day, and if we manage these list i am sure we will find one of them that will give us worthed reward someday.i know many bounty hunter that give up with current condition , but personally i am prefer to keep my struggle in this market.i am still have faith that will find good campaign again.

It's been so hard choosing a good bounty because of many low projects that are in here.
I keep learning and the best way to pick the high payment bounty is by looking on the allocation, participant and how long the bounty will run.

I agree with you, there's no doubt that there are still very good projects out there whose terms for bounties are awesome and the team are reliable in the sense that they pay bounty hunters for their efforts. I remember participating in a projects bounty which earned me a good value in Bitcoin without much stress. All that was required was to be done in two weeks and some persons made over 450$

A lot of people got rich by doing bounties, it's worth the investment. We are at the beginning of a new industry, Crypto is going to be huge. A 10usd bounty now could be worth 1000usd one year from now. Speaking of bounty, if you want to earn a bounty for testing a wifi sharing app (Aloha WiFi) join the Telegram community at- https://t.me/oppopenwifi and fill out the Beta tester form in the pinned message.

if you don't have a permanent job in the real world, in my opinion there is no need to stop being a bounty hunter. Don't judge the market quickly but all you need to value is to consider before joining the project.

honestly I never get anything as long as I become a bounty hunter except 2 types of coins and only 1 which has a value even worth only $ 32
but somehow I still don't want to stop, maybe because I feel that I haven't been lucky, I still feel that being a bounty hunter is still one of the great ways to get extra money because when bounty hunter gets the right project then the results can be very big even for junior members like me and maybe because of that also made me excited until now

I have the same approach as you. for several years in bounty campaigns, I suffered many times and wanted to stop doing it many times but I still continue to believe in my success

You are right but last year or so has proven to be terrible for bounty hunters and i do not remember personally of any good reward campaign, most of them have either not paid or paid very very small amount as reward so good old days of decent bounty rewards are gone for now and we cannot predict when bounty market will be back to normal again, we can just hope for good times to come soon.

why stop being a bounty hunter because of the present conditions? The present conditions are not going to be permanent, what if you wake up tomorrow and your and all conditions have changed all of a sudden, crypto is unpredictable and stopping being a hunter is not a matured decision provided your aim of starting bounty hunting is not big. Never stop being a bounty hunter for the present conditions won't remain forever.

Funny enough it happens to me buddy whenever I exit the market or quit boom everything becomes rosy I've decided never to quit without recording success or high end result even if stiffs boom at last I will say I made something out of it all. I will keep hunting until I reach the end I will start again as well.

Many failures from choosing wrong projects will discourage anyone from participating in bounties. And that is why many posters will want to do signature campaigns that pay in btc so they are sure of their earning. With altcoin bounty no one is sure if they will get paid in scam coin or not. The right way to go about it is to be careful when choosing bounties to get profitable and good projects that will eventually get listed.

It was actually, but right now, bounty campaigns are really profitable if you pick the right one! This year, people earned huge money through bounties. Regular bounty hunters earned more than 15-16K USD through bounties. Though I stopped participating in other bounties except for signature!

I agree with you that you don’t give up on toasts, even if you constantly come across bad projects. The main thing is that every time you improve your analysis.
Then you definitely will not miss something worthwhile in the future, but it will certainly be.

True what you say.
And I think better reduce than stop. that means if you usually do 5 Bounty campaigns, maybe with some obstacles like now, you just have to do 3 Bounty Champaign, rather than stop completely and not produce anything.

many lessons can be taken when the market is currently in a bad position. now this might be used as one of the lessons for bounty participants to be smarter and make it an experience. so I don't think bounty participants should stop even if the market conditions are not good.

I am still campaigning even though many projects delay payment.
I still believe that what I do will get satisfying results. I also believe that the altcoin season will change the current situation.

Luck and hard work are the main factors, because if you keep trying, that's where a good result will get. So by continuing to try despite the many negative issues about the altcoin season, that doesn't mean you lose the chance to get the best, because there is still hope to be successful in this market if we do everything confidently.

what about when the market is in good position ? people oftenly make a mistake like selling too early because they are too excited and they forgot their real plans about hodling for a long term  .

yes because stopping shows that they are weak or impatient  . stopping isnt also beneficial to them because they wont earn anymore if they stop  .

present condition of bounties are not really good but i still see many hunters on this forum . these guys should soon get what they deserve because they are too loyal on bounties

I'm also agree if altcoin season will come back later. But i don't think joining in any of altcoin bounty would make some profit for you. Better to join in bitcoin campaign since you are certainly get paid without any delay.

This is not same like in 2017. The fact you are wearing bitcoin campaign signature, will you remove it for altcoin bounty?

If the ending you will only get delay on payment or even got scammed, you only wasted your time for doing that.

I will continue to become a bounty hunter, although many bounties will end up with scams, I'm sure there are still other projects that are still serious about running their projects, I can say if I participate in 10 projects, then only 20% of projects will succeed, the rest will only we can make it as my experience to learn which projects are good or not.

I don’t know where it was possible to earn such large sums of money this year. I see so far that ICO projects this year, even if they promise a lot, bring very modest results. Now, we can say that we are working for the future. We hope that our tokens in the future will be able to grow well in price. Of course, one must choose promising practical projects, and here the project itself and its prospects should play a greater role than even the possible large profit of a similar other project.
