Some bounty hunters quit because altcoin market is not in good shape but very few new projects still manage to enter this space in this so called bad time, my point is if new projects can take the risks why not same with bounty hunters? altcoin market of this year is poor no doubt but some bounty projects still become a success

Why waiting for altcoin season?

Bounty is already dead because most of ICO recently are scam or projects that has little future. Legitimate projects will be subjected to regulations. Also IEO is a trend now most of it no longer requires bounty to promote their projects for funding.

Says who? harmony IEO happened on binance and bounty hunters still promote the project for the them, tokoin is another good one, not to talk of many goof successful bounties of 2019, if you are choosing bounties wrongly then you don't know how to do research
- sessia bounty is successful
- colletrix bounty is successful
- gowithmi is successful

from the list that you stated only Harmony is somewhat decent. LMAO
the rest are shit coins that has low trading volume. Its not even worth it for waiting months, could've made more by working part-time in real life. hahaha

You should understand the bounty hunter's side. There should be no time to waste in scam campaigns, ico is dead, and it is hard to keep our faith and wait for it to be alive again.

altcoin season? Forget that, forget about ico. Move forward and do other things, do other things that are profitable and don't waste any more time to work for scammers.

I don't think bounty hunters quit because of a bad season, I think the bar for Bitcointalk's posting standard went way up when they introduced the merit system, and the ability rank up in order to join signature campaigns became extremely harder. it's mostly low level ranks who do a lot of the bulk work for bounty campaigns like telegram, retweets and Facebook bounties, as these jobs pay the lowest. I have never heard of altcoin season, but if you search hard enough you will find good campaigns, their just diamonds in the rough, hard to find. A lot of crypto based projects have been failing.

Time is money and bounty hunters invest much of it into bounty hunting not to talk of other resources they usually put in place but at the end they receive small amount of tokens which may worth little or nothing. Some may have moved on with other more valuable jobs.

This year was a pretty bad year for bounty campaigns. The number of bounty paying in the market successfully and satisfactorily was quite low. Many other bounty campaigns have been canceled because of the projects turned into scams or projests fail. However, despite these negativities, I continue to participate in the bounty campaigns which organize by the managers which has positive trust.

I think that the fewer people will believe in altcoins, the possibility of the altcoin season becoming higher and only when the altcoins season will be on its peak then people begin to believe and new bounty hunters will appear

Harmony? what about gowithmi? that project rocks and it has very good trading volume, please do your research very well, 24hours trading volume on gate.io is 273,318$ and the IEO on gate .io was a big success

It's not as what you think mate but its getting difficult caught the attention of many users and investors here in crypto currency community. Way back 2017 last quarter and 2018 1st quarter is the best of altcoin since they just relying the value of bitcoin and ethereum. I hope somebody it will pump again tremendously and I believe soon it will happen again.

If projects failed then its a big loss of time for the hunters so they are very picky which joining bounties and also most projects which are serious also given up with bounty promotion due to no effectiveness so taking the risk doesn't worth it.

Why wait for altcoin season? The season will definitely not come on time, if you don't do it nothing will happen.

Bounty is successful because the project is worthy of success and can compete. And conversely.

Most of us quit on bounty hunting because of the scam project.
It isn't because we are waiting for the alt season it is because we couldn't gain anything from hunting anymore.

The bounty hunters never quit.
They have just been around and  looking for extra income because the ICO campaign is now no longer profitable. And not because of the turbulent market so the bounty hunters stopped it because of the increasing regulation on ICO that eventually became a scam too.

Bounty hunters didn't quit because it isn't a good season for altcoins but because of scam projects. It's really frustrating to spend time and effort just to get scammed. Most bounty hunters have chosen to look for alternatives to earn instead of wasting time and get fooled in the end. There are still great opportunities here in crypto world but some ICO's and projects aren't reliable for now.

No need to wait for the altcoin season. The passive income for the bounty hunters dropped in 2018 and the recovery possibility is under 10 percent, unfortunately. Bounty hunting was fun in the first years but later the impatient bounty hunters turned the game to ATM activity. They look for the money instead of expecting small gains due to few likes, retweets, sharing the articles.

Bounty income has become very low now since the beginning of bear market, i belief this is why many bounty hunters stop hunting but for me i find it very hard to quit because i can still see few successful bounty projects reaching over softcap easily

Doing bounties despite market being down and less new legit projects is only for people who have nothing else to do or have no other source of income. I agree with few comments that I read here about time being essential and you should do or find things that will bring you more income.

Out of 100 bounties here, how many will be have a successful IEO and be listed on an exchange? I would guess it's more or less 10. You see, there is no point spending your precious time promoting projects and then wait whether that project will turn out to be legit/scam/success/failure.

I think bounty hunters only go away while not dead, I see the way the bounty promotion still looks old-fashioned and a little old needs to be renovated to get more new investors.
if there is a bounty manager here, I just give a little advice that someday hold a bounty to adjust the participants to the rank level, the higher the Rank the higher the number of Stakes, this method prevents new users or fake newbies from promoting the bounty, many things must be changed, but I believe the bounty will come again the following year if everything changes

the one who decides to stop is the bounty hunter who is impatient. indeed lately bounty is very slow in terms of distribution and launching to exchangers so bounty hunters feel tired of it all. but for me it's not the problem, because if we wait for the altcoin season, when that time comes, we don't have anything, right? whereas if we struggle every day in this industry, we will have savings to wait for the altcoin season to arrive.

There are quite a lot of bounty hunters still hanging on in here. Whether too many scammed projects or not, they're not really quit being a bounty hunter. And waiting for altseason, they migh be hoping for 2017 to happen once again. Just like the old days, when projects were successful. Despite having a very low success rate, hunters still joined them, in case if the project get a great outcome. But as you know, we wont know if it's a good project or not till it ends. The ones who permanently leave bounty now might have a real job, or become a trader etc.

Because the reason of bounties is to collect tokens and to earn money. During the altseason people are usually selling their earnings for ETH or other crypto. Right now hunters are collecting altcoins to make profit in the future.

Yeah maybe our current bounty reward is not valuable in the market, but who knows 1 year after or 2 years. It might be become something and it's better than nothing. If we had free time to do it. It won't make us poor and also give us knowledges about cryptocurrency which is really nice

In my point of view, bounty hunters have not become lazy but have become selective in the projects they elect to participate.
Instead of participating in every project like how it used to happen in early 2017, bounty hunters are now participating in only selective projects in which they think might return a good profit. In my point of view, this is correct because many ICOs have scammed many bounty hunters so things had to end up this way.

Honestly few good bounties did show up this year and many hunters are happy about it, the fact is those who earned big are not going to comment about it on here, trust me, here are successful bounties of 2018/2019, let say since bear market started.

1. Sero project
2. V-ID
3. Sessia
4. Populous
5. Harmony
6. Veil project
7. Lala
8. Mb8coin
9. Miracle tele
10. Smartfund
11. ViteX
12. Ferrum network
13. Hetachain
14. WPP

TELL ME IF I AM WRONG

I only wait when the tokens/coins reaches the ICO price if a dump has occurred when the list on the exchangers. So only a few tokens/coins that i hold for long-term investment of income when participating in a bounty campaign

Indeed, that is why I don't believe that bounty campaigns are dead. Most of the projects are scams and some of them have low value probably because we are in bear market. Investors are having a doubt to put their investment in any projects that is why the team cannot able to reach their cap but doesn't mean its dead. If you are truly a bounty hunter you'd take it and wait till the altcoins seasons came back, perhaps this will be happen as uptrend to begin.

I think Miracle tree turns to be a scam project.
There is a scam accusation, there are so many complains about the project like encountering issues on withdrawing funds in their exchange.
see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174888.140 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174888.140)

Bounty hunters are currently very cautious and prefer to study campaign projects before they are followed. The increasing number of scam projects made the original and good projects not successful because there were not many participants. Without waiting for the altcoin season it doesn't matter, projects that really pay are still there, but it's very difficult. But I am sure there will be a booming project like 2017 before.

We cannot blame the bounty hunters if they quit doing bounties since their time and effort is wasted due to the failed projects but I agree with what OP's said because there are still few projects out there that are still worth it which is why quiting is not an option for me. I have a variety of altcoins in my wallet worth few dollars so while I'm waiting for them to regain its value, I will continue to hunt and try to earn in different worthy projects.

I don't blame those who are waiting for altcoin season, we all knew what happened to many bounty hunters in 2017, how they make good money from bounties, it was all thanks to the altcoin season, many including myself still wish for the return of altcoin season to make better profit from bounties

therefore true research is needed if you want to join the bounty project. the problem is quite difficult to find a project that has a future, maybe this time the project will have difficulty competing in the market but I think the altcoin project that is able to survive until the market trends improve is one of the project references to look for

Many bounty hunters have quit due to many projects not honouring their commitment to bounty hunters and even when they do, in most cases the prices on the exchange are often nothing to write home about.  Most bounty campaigns are largely not worth the effort but I do agree that if you give up now and wait till the altcoin season, campaigns then will most likely be over-crowded,less rewarding and more tasking.

Profits can still be made in bounties even if we are in a very bad market period, all you need is your time to do research on the bounty projects, since IEO have taken over make sure you know which exchange is planned for the project, if its idax or vindax do not bother

I don't like turning away when things are not working in my favour because as per my past lessons that moment you walk away, changes is already around the corner, what are you going to say when altcoin season comes out of nowhere ?

I think last one year everyone see the bad market, But still every bounty hunters are survive on crypto market. Normally peoples are plan the long term growth also and everyone protect some trusted tokens. Those are read the OP post and participate the perfect bounty campaign they always happy on any sad market.

yes even though the market is bad but we can still get results from crypto, I think when the market with a trend like this we can still survive, I think if the market improves we can get a lot of results.

I think it's okay that bounty hunters hold away from bounty campaigns at this time. Why participate in bounties if it brings no profits.

Why would the project want to join the market in bad condition? If developers value their projects, they always think about what is best for it. Otherwise, after reaching softcap it is not heroism to ruin the project.


If you are talking about paying bounties with the newly created coins, unfortunately it is true. Most of them are big disappointment at the end. But there are also bounties that pay with coins that have been available for a long time.

This situation is good enough than last year bear market. Bounty hunter should support new project, because this project will become more success in altcoins season. I think target of scammers is bull market or altcoins season that time people could get easily scam. I saw some bounty payment is much higher than the first quarter of 2018.

You are wrong. Bounty is not dead, rather new bounties are coming in every week and month. I earned 500$ last month from bounties. My friend circle earned huge money from bounties in this year. So, people should not give up on bounties, keep searching for the best project.

I would believe you but you havent been active lately. How did you earn $500 last month if you havent posted much and with a member account those chances are pretty small unless you have dozens of multiple accounts.

We're just humans and we have different points when to break. Some could not recover from the past experiences while some uses it to be stronger and learn from ther mistakes. We can't blame those who quits from the industry. They have their own experiences, reasons, and right to do so. If your will is stronger than other people, good for you. But who knows, even if they quit, they might come back someday again.

Some are waiting for altcoins season to sell their shitcoins hoping for the price to pump, and bounties are not in good condition that is why bounty hunters are afraid to become active again. If the project is good then no need to doubt, you just need to have patience and to work without any expectation. Bounty hunters also want a security with their work that’s why they can’t participate on every new project.

jn current condition we should not thinking something exaggerated. We have to very gratefull we still earning money from bounty campaign.the thing we could to do now just how to survive and we still able to fullfilled our daily need from bounty.sometimes our life like a wheels,always spinning and changes our position.

Many would only like to work again in bouties when the market is full of life once again. Now it's kind of dull compared to 2017 when there are a lot of good projects. There are also the scams so people are more cautious. I personally experienced not being compensated by a project where the money was taken away by those scammers. It was hard to move on and let go because I have invested time and effort and I believe many of us know the feeling.

Indeed, this time is much better compared with last year. It's wrong if the hunters must support all of the projects and what is needed by the hunters to be more careful to choose a trusted project. So many scam projects around us make difficult to choose which is the trusted one. But again bull season will not give a big surprise. Scammers are still running scam ico.

Also depends how long you're willing to wait for another 'alt season' to come around- there's no guarantee that Bitcoin's going to start rising in the future, even though it does look like it given the halving's just around the corner and Bitcoin tends to start going up a while after halvings and alts tend to follow. I do agree that it's generally a good time to accumulate altcoins though, and if your primary method of doing so is through bounty campaigns, go for it.

I still have high hopes for altcoins to regain its value soon and this is the reason why i still keep participating in bounties and make even a little income. Even if altcoins market is considered dead by majority, but let us not lose hope being bounty hunters because some good projects still make it to the top and continue giving rewards to those who keep promoting it.

a new project taking risk is not the same from bounty hunter
if your the project owner and your sure about your project you can risk everything
but for bounty hunter it hard to take the risk if your not sure where the project will go
you cant blame bounty hunter if they quit some of they experience consecutive failure for more than a year

Another altcoin season might linger more than we ever imagined, it's best we don't wait for it to come it's best we keep at what we're doing which is hunting for bounties in anticipation for the Altcoins season if it eventually comes.

Season altcoins all waiting not only because of the bounty companies. In addition, it is not a fact that this will help to achieve the success of bounty companies again.

For project funding, it is possible that some of the new projects do not run a bounty program but they do need community members.
The altcoin season is going well until now, but some new projects are still completing the products they created and there are projects that are dying because the developers really want to commit fraud

I’m still a bounty hunter accumulating good tokens not the shit  ;D and I’m willing to wait. But I believe once the space is more regulated crypto will become more an ideal place to make descent income, however despite the low morale of ICO’s nowadays there are still genuine projects that are worth joining a campaign.

Because when the altcoin season is coming, all of the coins can increase together. And that will be the chance for the coin or token to increase. That will be the big opportunity for coin and token to get the massive profit, especially for bounty hunters who hold a big amount of coin or token from the campaign. They can hope to sell the coin or token at a higher price. But some bounty hunters cannot wait for a long time to sell their coin or token because they need the money to another thing.

He is just doing another task since bounty hunting is not profitable anymore. I don't see anything wrong with that. Whether he is looking for an instant payment or not, as long as his task was done properly, it is all good to be part of any campaign.
So, you are saying you are also joining bounty campaigns, then why telling someone that he is looking for instant payment? Then you are also doing the same thing as you said to him ;)

Why because it would never arrived? Many people said that they will quit bounty hunting for alts but still here doing some bounty. If they want to leave then go ahead no one stopping them. I agree that altcoins still have hope, if you can't earn yet during this bearish sentiment, go for btc paid there is a lot of it offering. Altcoins are dangerous to hold, due to volatile market, hunters should know this and stop whining about dead projects lining up.

Projects are taking the possibilities meaning they got 50 percent chance of success and the other way around. However bounty hunter won't take the deal with that, they want a 100 percent chance so their won't just be wasted by such mere possibility. Altcoin season is the safehaven for bounty hunters. In addition based from the word itself hunters, meaning they are hunting a chance wherein they could gain a real benefit, a real gain.

This is just my speculation on the market. Whenever the altcoin season arrives, would it be good to speculate that Bitcoin and Ethereum's market price will spike? because as we are accumulating altcoins, most of the trades are occurring between BTC and ETH, meaning to say that traders and hunters will accumulate bitcoin and ethereum first before they can earn profits in altcoins. And if that is so, it can create excitement since bitcoin and ethereum's market price is spiking, they will need to decide whether to invest in altcoin or bitcoin. In conclusion, the altcoin season will not be limited to altcoin only. Cryptocurrency's holistically will become profitable.

This guy is right 👆. As of the moment I paused joining bunch of campaigns and focusing on more profitable which is the Signature. But will join bounties again if ICO’s are in good shape again but more selective.

A lot of users are doing the same thing, and it is a common thing to look for another task to do. But I don't think that bounty campaigns will come alive again, maybe another kind of offering will come and that will serve as a new source of bounty campaigns. If there will be a regulation to stop scam projects, then bounty campaigns will surely make its comeback.

So that your effort could not be wasted. If you were in their same shoes, it's too easy to understand. It's not the money that was wasted for them but their time and effort. In spite of that some bounty hunters are still hopeful thus we shouldn't include them all. We can't blame what their decision is.

You can decide whether you want to risk and spend some time and effort or not since bounty hunting is a gamble game right now and majority of the campaigns is obviously not paying that's why I can't blame them to give up for now and look for another venture since that option now is so messy and good for those people who aims to strike a jackpot and can easily move on when certain things fail out.

Yes, it is impossible for us, to get success in all the bounties. Even though we do hard work sometimes the payments will not help us to sustain that's how the human being situation. So we should keep on moving because one day we might find the best bounty when can pay all our debts.

Agree, we cannot blame those who have stopped working on the bounty. The number of bounty campaigns that don't pay makes them traumatized because they only spend time. But in my opinion we don't need to give up because good bounties will continue to exist even though we need a little accuracy in choosing

Yes we dont need to wait till the altcoin season came again, in every bounty that we are joining we should think if the slightly chances that it would not be successful we should take the risk in everything, we can never tell when does altcoin season will be again, because there are a lot of dumps and pumps now, market is unpredictable now as well as the bitcoin, take a risk in joining bounty that pays altcoin and wait for it till it becomes successful.

Only 1-2% of dozens of bounties have succeeded this year, I monitor that there are still projects that deliberately reschedule Ico because they believe they will not get a surge of investors for now. Most end up being fraud, I don't deny that.

The lucky hunters will get the best results when the alt season arrives, with the reduced level of participation increasing the stake they get, this is not about luck, but about the quality Dev has always built with a loyal community.

now it's complicated to distinguish which campaigns are good and not, the most important is that hunters are still comfortable following it, I appreciate their efforts if they do an in-depth analysis of what they are following.

To be honest, I stopped being a bounty hunter not because I was waiting for alt season but I don't trust ICO now. And I also don't want to play in obscurity about the results that will be obtained later when promoting a project. I better follow the campaign that pays directly with btc, eth or others. Clear daily income, no need to bother. If alt season does come, and a lot of good projects, of course, I will also glance at some projects. We all need extra money to live this life isn't it.

In my personal opinion, not all ICO projects are bad because some of them can go according to plan and succeed. And it is true that some others may fail because of a number of things that affect investors' interest to invest in new coins, I think that there are some scam projects that make investors hesitate to invest in them and they would prefer to hold back what they want to do.

I think i get your point there, bounty hunters stop as the bad market goes. But in order to survive in bounty you have to be very hardworking because of so many projects lets say out of 10 bounties 2or 3 campaigns only will going to pay and some otger are scam or failed projects. Its a total time consuming and wasting of effort in some projects.

I think the bounty project is not dead yet, there are still some successful and reliable projects. this year I also still get paid from the bounty project. it's just that now we have to be more selective in choosing bounty projects, choose projects that have experienced managers and development teams. and I also recommend not holding the bounty tokens too long because some bounty tokens cannot last long on the altcoin market. although tokens can reach softcap and hardcap.

What is the relations between altcoin season and bounty? I don'k think they have one. The fact is bounty almost dead, we can see that. Bounties are still run. However, some not paid, the rest paid you worthless token.

Bounties  is as of now dead on the grounds that a large portion of ICO as of late are mostly scams or tasks that has minimal future. Authentic bounty will be exposed to guidelines. Likewise IEO is a pattern now a large portion of it never again expects abundance to advance their activities for subsidizing.

many projects now that do not reach hardcap is what makes bounty hunters not following anymore now, and what's more is that payments are always on hold

If bounty hunter not waiting for altcoin season, so why we should be stay on this forum bro? 🤭 And almost 90 % activity on this forum are doing daliy bounty activity. Most of them also hold a token which still have a good future . Unfortunately bounty not good as 2017. But we still believe some good thing still coming. Passion never make you tired.

No need to wait for the altcoin season to find the money from a project. Stay diligent to find bounty and airdrop as aside, do it and forget it.
While it is a waste of time if not in the altcoin season because it is suitable for unemployment work. So still we should be passionate and hold fast to find a good project.

If someone quit because of the bad market condition, then I say good riddance, the Cryptocurrency space should be filled with visionaries who supports it through both thick and thin and not just those who would be here grazing when the grass is green and run when the pickings are few and far between, the fact is that people should support projects they love because of the love and money should come second, not the other way round.

not reaching hard cap is not a problem with bounty hunters, even reaching the soft cap is enough. however, the development of projects from month to month is quite bad (except for a few projects that do IEO in popular markets).
besides, the bounty hunter is not coming out, but waiting for the project that really has the potential to be supported, and while waiting for the project, many people expect altcoin season, because they believe it will be the same as 2017.
I believe that they are still waiting for the potential of altcoin, and bounty, but I think they are also doing other things so that their time is not wasted.

You have mixed up the point of OP, what OP is saying is you must not stop hunting for bounties because good bounty projects can still make it in this present red market we are in, holders have no choice but to wait for altcoin season but its different for bounty hunters, you don't have to hunt in good times only

I dont think that most bounty hunters are waiting for altcoin season, there is no need to wait for it because from time to time, altcoins can have a great value just like bitcoin and at this moment we see that bitcoin is also struggling to increase its price, so when the time that bitcoin pump, for sure altcoin will pump as well because as we all know that most altcoins are relying to bitcoin.

Indeed investors are more interested in bitcoin, even bitcoin dominates the market more than 67% of crypto volume. The number of ICOs that failed because of the impact of lack of space for tokens, moreover ICOs issued a lot of scam than good projects. I think need a good signal to attract investors back to believe in ICO / IEO.

Bounty hunters really dont need to wait for the altcoin season to come because. First, we dont know when it will come and second when dont have an assurance that if alt season comes the alts you are holding will also comes with the tide.

Bounty is already dead but over 20 legit bounty projects paid hunters since bear market took over this space, bounty is already dead while i was able to make 200$ from blockstamp, bounty is already dead and hunters still make thousands from gowithmi project, its no denials that scam projects have taken over crypto space but yet solid projects are still born

It makes no sense to wait until the altcoin season begins, because for 2 years there has been no altcoin growth and it is not known when the growth will start, and for these 2 goals there were good projects that brought good profit, so even if the cryptocurrency market is constantly falling, do not think to quit participating in bounty companies.

Bounty season will begin as soon as the people who support scams either leave the community or they start thinking and stop being mindless sheep zombies fresh for the slaughter following one another to any shit token that can find and supporting it. "Investors" need to stop believing everything they hear.

There are good bounties. Just look!! Seriously doing a bounty is like investing. Instead of buying into the ICO you are earning it. Why do you want to waste your time? The point is to profit.

This year is pretty bad for not just altcoins also Bitcoin itself. I think there is no cause for alarm as we are gradually approaching the alt season. Bounty hunters can use this as an opportunity to hold some of their earned tokens.

Some? At what percentage?
1 out of 100 ICO's?

Most of them cannot reach the soft cap.
The project is just being repeated over and over again.
Uniqueness of one ICO is not there anymore. It is like picking something else and then just adding new features.
That is the problem of bounty hunters. They are getting weary waiting for that right project. They are just frustrated. Ain't you?

They do not expect the altcoin season to come, but they expect the entire market to improve. In other words, the current situation of the market is not convenient for bounty. Therefore, they think that it is right to expect that the recovery of the market will affect the new projects. I think so, it is a good idea, it is better to work with good for a month than to work with bad projects for a year.

I think there is no harm in waiting for the moment of the altcoin season because the bounty hunter would also want to get a lot of profit because it has been holding up for a long time, hopefully seasoin altcoin can happen soon and can make the exchange place has many more transactions.

can you name the successful project you are referring to? In connection with this, there is truth in your statement, I mean to sell tokens when there is still a price. but I personally will not do it fully, maybe only a part of which I will sell, if I need to and some I will hold for next year.

I think bounty hunters are still out there, problem is that now the number of ICO's and STO's decreased compared to back in early 2017. The number of bounty hunters is still the same or even doubled, but there is a limited number of campaigns to promote, the bearish market also had an effect.

The point is not that the bounty hunters are waiting for the altcoin season, but that investors have not yet regained confidence in cryptocurrencies. That's why most ICO projects can't even collect a softcap. When fresh capital comes to the cryptocurrency market, the season will begin for altcoins and bounty hunters.

Most of the bounty hunters are waiting for altcoins season because they already so many altcoins to sell buy simply they can’t because of its value. Some projects can take big risk on entering the market during the bad time because they have the money for that while the bounty hunters are just depending on a good project. We have different types of risk appetite, mostly if you have a less capital you want to be more safe and that’s why bounty hunters are not that active anymore.

fresh monsut didn't guarantee crypto currency market will gain profits.maybe it just give temporary effect for bitcoin or altcoin. And at this moment we still not see fresh money coming since no good trigger come to market. Many ico, ieo have less inventors that support their projects,and if jt happen no more good altcoin will occur in crypto market.

Investor confidence is at a dangerous level and the consequences of scam projects have changed the look of crypto investing. The investors who left the crypto ecosystem will come back in the next bullrun but the profitability will be higher for those waited patiently in the bear market. The successful investors know the working methods of crypto investing but the new investors have no idea.

This is what i mean, that it was not bounty hunters are waiting for the altcoin season, but bounty hunters waiting for new capital from investors who are waiting to calm down and improve the situation on the entire cryptocurrency market. I think we are already close to the moment when investors understand that it can't be worse and will start filling their crypto wallets. Good projects will then start to be funded and a bounty hunters will start to earn from rewards.

The altcoin season is not connected to why ICO campaigns are unsuccessful, It is because of the scam that ruin the ico name so no investor has ever had the interest to invest in ICOs today. And most of the coins currently listed on the market are shitcoin and others are deadcoin. So bounty hunters like me are now waiting for regulation for ICOs. In order for the ICO scams to be avoided, and the former ICO campaign is back to legit and pay right for their bounty hunter promoters.

It is true that there is no need to wait for the altcoin season if you are a bounty hunter because you can earn money whether it is bearish or bullish market because there is always an opportunity around the cryptocurrency community that you can grab to earn tokens or coins as a salary and sell it in exchange of bitcoin or any altcoin that you prefer.

I as a bounty hunter now rarely follow bounty development, but now the project that I have participated in is long enough and finally I decided to participate. not waiting for the altcoin season, but waiting for the bitcoin bullrun. more precisely already tired of the scam project.

Obviously the combination of all circumstances plays a role here. It makes no sense to participate in bounties if the company cannot even pay out the tokens and I will not even mention their value. Even the rating on the forum now plays practically no role.

Bounty HUnter who stopped because many scammers and no longer produces is a beginner bounty hunter. As a bounty hunter who has been on this forum for a long time, I keep looking for the best bounty and can pay me. Many new projects are scattered on this forum and you just choose. Many have also been successful. All will follow the market and we must also be smarter in dealing with this situation.

some reasons to answer ur question:

1 you may be right if there are some success project, but the fact that most of project is failed

2 if the project success, the dev gets big reward, bounty hunter isnt. that's why new project can take the risk and not same with bounty hunter

3 time matter, bcz it wastes our usefull time.

quit  ? not i dont think  . my guess is that most bounty hunters arent that wealthy enough or dont have proper jobs at all therfor i dont think that they will ever quit on here joining bounties  .

 if they will quit they are only the one that will feel looser or empty but instead , they can just try and try again  . if they are dedicated they can soon catch a good paying bounties . there are also many option to earn a crypto/money online not just on bouties alone  .

Locating a good project has become a real challenge nowadays for hunters certainly. The two main reasons behind these are high competition and high percentage of scams. It is a bit hard for new project to make their way and become successful. They must introduce good new features. Those projects that are actually able to make through tough times of downfall can actually be trusted with money and time.

You should also remember that the number of bounty campaigns have undergone a significant reduction. Earlier we used to have up to 100 ICOs listing every week, and now this number has gone to an average of 4-5 per week. And there have been a corresponding decrease in the number of bounty campaigns as well. However there have been no such decline in the number of bounty hunters. This means more bounty hunters per campaign, and therefore lower payments for each bounty hunter.

Altcoins bounties are kinda dead for 2019 during the fact that most of the ICO's failed to achieve something so bounties were even cancelled or they paid worthless coins to hunters which scared the hunters to continue to waste time for something like this. Maybe 2020 will bring more confidence when it comes to bounties and instead of waiting for a good altcoin bounty maybe have patience to step-in into a btc bounty campaign to promote a project , a website , a gamble website or a mixer.

Altcoin season is far from being here so hunters should continue to accumulate coins if they believe the time they spend will be in a pair with coins value.

no need to wait for altseason because we know we are currently doing bounties like gambling because only a few tens of thousands of bounties will be good, both here have exchanges and also strong volumes the rest may be bounties only benefit bounty hunters and will harm investor.

Some bounty hunters like me indeed leave bounty campaigns for a few months. I, myself experienced joining bounty campaigns which turned out to be a scam. It's very disappointing and depressing knowing that your hard work and time has been wasted by these scammers. I'm just thankful to this one ICO I joined months ago which turned out to be legit. I already sold my tokens and earn money from it. It also gave me a chance to start looking for and joining bounties again. It is better to try again than to do nothing at all. By the way, I think altcoin season doesn't exist, it just depends on the ICOs you're choosing.  ;)   

The altcoin market affects new projects and so it also affects the bounty program. So technically if hunters leave a project because they believe the market is not good you don't blame them for that decision

The point is not that bounty hunters are now leaving a projects because of the weak market situation, but that bounty hunters are leaving the whole market - they are simply disappearing.

Bounty hunters are not afraid of the altcoin season, Bounty hunters are now afraid of ICO scams! So few bounty hunters are involved in the campaign because they immediately realize that this is going to be a scam as well as a waste of effort in promoting this campaign.

So what the bounty hunters fear now is the scam and it should be paid attention and stopped.

Fraudulent projects do make many bounty hunters discourage themselves from joining the project, there may be those who think that they are waiting for the alt season to look for another profitable project. and if you continue to get caught up in a fraudulent project, campaign participants will not trust the project much now

I think not only that. There are several other factors that cause many hunters to stop working at this time. Starting from the many projects that always delayed the distribution of rewards, some even did not pay at all for a variety of reasons, they were seen as not committed and many of them changed their bounty rules arbitrarily. This is my view from the other side of the matter. This year also seems difficult if they only rely on their tokens that still don't have value. They must prepare exclusive funds such as paying with major curriencies to attract the interest of hunters again.

we are a bounty hunter, we need to be a risk taker also, not all our campaigns will gonna succeed, some of it , it will be successful and yet they gonna leave us and left without nothing, so collect all those altcoin that we could get as our salary and then save it, till it pump or it will be listed, pray for it that team will never gonna leave us, join campaign with high possibility of success dont wait for altcoin season.

Bounty hunting these days aren't as easy as before. There are a lot of scam projects occurs in early 2018 just right after the ath. Scammers took advantage of the btc hype.
There are still good projects today but It needs a thorough research for you to avoide wasting time on a shitcoin.

Actually from the start of the ICO boom in 2017, bounty projects everywhere and many rich people were suddenly just gift hunters. this shows that at this time the potential of projects such as ICO has proven that such modes are no longer feasible, because they are all interfered by scammers. and as a replacement I am grateful as a bounty hunter with a project like IEO, making me a little more relieved. the actual potential of a project's success now depends on new ideas or innovations in the public. and I think analysis is more important, rather than random. because basically working to be a bounty hunter is a very easy thing, which is difficult to determine which projects are scam or not.

Actually now is the altcoin season for active prize hunters.

the bounty hunter has stopped because of their small gift can be the most frustrating sometimes not in line with expectations. many are also affected by the scam they feel the time is wasted Bounty Hunter today many are not getting a decent gift I have experienced it received many tokens but are not tokens can be sold when it can be sold at very cheap prices.

Shitcoins are simply shitcoins and they have to be ignored at all cost, i have wasted time of useless projects but now i always take extremely measures to avoid scam projects

I think so too, bounty hunters don't need to wait for altcoin season. They should not quit their jobs because the market is not in good condition, but persevere in the cryptocurrency.

Bounty hunters should capture the situation all the time and make better decisions than quit. may not come altcoin season but the value accumulated as well as the opportunity will be much better. Should not wait or be too dependent on the altcoin season.

And what's the point of waiting? You can skip everything. I believe that now we need to continue to work and help good projects come out. Just need a better approach to the selection of projects. I believe that the most hardworking people and those who always go to the goal, will be able to get a good reward.

Many developers are holding back till market change entirely bedore they release their new projects but few ones who are confidence that their project will survive still proceed this is why i don't quit or wait for altcoin season

So, are you saying that bounty hunters should just continue investing their time in all these projects even if they are not being paid for it? I don't think that your statement is a very much motivating factor as it holds no weight at all because the truth that you ought to speak is missing from your statement.

Hunters are not the problem, but the project developers, and if you are to direct any of your advice to anyone, it should be project developers because they are the ones making hunters to lack interest because no one wants to work for month and not get paid when there are other things that they would have done with their time to earn them a very good money for them and their family. If project were paying hunters, I am sure that they would not have been abandoning their projects like that.

Because there is no point, you want bounty hunters to waste their time working for projects that they know are not going to be successful or that at the end of the campaign are not going to pay them, I am not a bounty hunter but who is going to be happy to do that? You will be better trying to find another source of income in this market than to waste your time in that way.

There are some bounty hunters that may argue that it is a good idea to work for those coins now in the case and altcoin season happens because then the value of those coins will go up, but that is incredibly doubtful, the next altcoin season is probably not going to be as big as the last one and only established coins and new projects that are worth it will go up in value so you will be wasting your time working for bounties right now.

It seems to me that it’s stupid to wait for the alt season with such coins that are now entering the market and hunters get them for certain actions in promoting projects, because almost everything that comes out cannot even create the necessary trading volume on the exchange and the exchange excludes them from its list of quotes. It’s better to try to apply your skills to existing projects.

Earning meaningful or worthy amount of tokens while bounty hunting has became a thing of the past this is solely attributed to the unfavorable conditions of the crypto market. however a wise hunter should select a good project with a future potential while waiting for the greenish days ahead that is when  the market would have retain it bullish sentiment invariably results to pumping of that particular token, the state state of the market had not really encourage bounty hunting.

Season altcoins waiting for not only the participants of the bounty.He was waiting for investors and startups.Many leave the bounty, because they simply do not know how to choose projects and participate in everything.After careful selection, you can choose a good bounty program with a decent payment.

However the market situation does affect the success of the bounty.  But for projects that are really strong, with good market capacity, that's not a problem.  The proof, there are some bounties that provide quite a lot of advantages to bounty hunters, one of them is Harmony, yes even though there are many dramas, we have to accept it as a risk.  We need more effort to analyze projects that are really promising, even though there are many dramas but the bounty campaign still has many advantages.  we just need to improvise and choose the truly trusted ones.

I agree with you. The good projects aren't gone yet, and whether the altcoin season comes or not, you can still take part in the bounty.

Seriously, none of these ieo's or ico's are worth pinning your hopes on, and rather than making a profit you're more likely to get scammed or lose money.  If you really want to make money in crypto, buy bitcoin or some of the higher quality altcoins with your own money and just hold onto them until the market turns around, which it will eventually.

The bitcoin halving is coming up next year and that will probably boost altcoins along with everything else, but these garbage tokens are going to end up worthless.  They already have a proven track record of that, so I'm not sure why people are still investing in them.

Yes, I know it. but hunting without deep knowledge and due diligence in this condition will be ended to trash. maybe for only social media task it doesn't matter for spending your time. but ever you feel when becoming a BM then managing a project for 25 weeks and that's ended with no payment. and they already collected a lot of money for it.

Right now? No, but as soon as we are in a bull run, those IEO or ICO are going to be worthy to try again, Lol.


I agree, this is the only catalyst that will bring this market to a recovery phase and then the eventual bull run. So there could also boom on the alt ecosystem, IEO/ICO, bounties airdrops etc are going to be lively just like 2017.

It might be bounty hunters who stop because they have a busy life in real life. It could also be because they often get a dead project or project scam. Because we don't know for sure why they stopped

I think hunters don't wait for the altcoin season. it's just that now most ICO projects are scams so many of the prize hunters are no longer active in the ICO project. I am also a bounty hunter. I usually join a signature campaign project. about a year I didn't hunt for prizes because in 2018 some of the ICOs that I joined were a scam. so now most prize hunters are more selective in choosing ICO projects, only projects with a team of developers and managers and also a clear program that I follow.

There could be another reason and that is because no Bounty Campaigns are worth it anymore and just doing an exit-scam. And that's the main problem here not just the bounty hunters are affected but the investors, and no more are buying this scheme.

And getting the rewards from a bounty campaigns are worthless and no value at all. That's why some people preferred to invest only the popular cryptocurrency.

Even in bounty there's despair everywhere both for investors and bounty hunters. This is a time to invest more for investors, a time for bounty hunters to keep hunting.

   Nobody is forced to wait, people are free to make their own decision. Along the way many people quit, but some of us still stand
here and we don't plan to quit, not now, not ever.
   I don't wish to discuss why some people quit. There can be many reasons for that. I said already, people are free to make their
own choices and we all need to live with the choices we made! Good luck to all with their own choices.

Yes it could be unless you have an account on other campaign. Having other account can give you higher profit than having only one account that has a low altcoin. If you can join another campaign thas has a high percentage of the altcoin it self is a one of the tactics in mining.

There is no risk on bounty hunting, the only thing you loss is your time if you end up wasting it.
When there are bounty, we should view that as an opportunity as they might not be growing right away but that is due to the current market situation.

Actually there are people who are making a living in bounty, so the current situation does not favor them, but they can still do it if they have time while working on a regular job, at this time, we can't rely on bounty alone and we need to understand the situation.

That is good to see for me. I think the whole reason we had so much spam in the past was because people thought bounty rewards could make them instantly rich.

Of course it did for many people,,, but that was the boom period that will never ever happen again.

People should go back to real life. And earn for a living doing honest work. Bounties can still be done in your free time, sure, but never make it a full time job.

Yes if you aware to potential lost from your holding it ,you should hold it. But if not and the token has a value already then sell it right away, sometimes people who sell earlier is the one who is lucky  from earnings than  the one who are waiting to make it  dump more .

It seems that most ICOs are now hard to reach the soft cap, so to have a successful project with a very hard bonus, the bonuses they pay per person are based on the project issuer's tokens, if the value well, the token will be high if following the growth of Altcoin, partly because it depends on the growth of Altcoin, the bounty of the hunters may be higher. Partly, trading volume will push prices higher.

very wise of your words, but maybe in my opinion making 50% of tokens or coins from the bounty is wiser than that all,
because we do not know what the future will be like, if you believe the project better save 50% it will make you comfortable

Bounty hunters left this forum and their job mainly because they were not satisfied with the rewards from bounty campaigns. They earned lot of tokens, that is right, but do not forget that if there is no hype in the market, noone will buy your risky tokens.  :)

I am not sure if there are developers who are holding back just to release their project in pump season. If they think that this will do any good to them, then they need to reconsider their strategy because nothing like this will happen. No doubt, the bull market attracts new investors but I do not think that people will show enough trust to make large investments in new projects. They will chase the good ones first.

not waiting for the altcoin season. what happens now is the lack of interest of investors in investing due to many projects that end up scam (will not affect, willing to take risks or not).
Investors often lose and never get return of investment, so they are now lazy and many projects also fail (oh fuck), so it's not because the altcoin market is poor this year. it is because the project is sucks, fraud, doesn't have real product!

I see that there are still many bounty hunters who join the bounty campaign and I think they are not too concerned about the altcoin season because their job is join, work, get paid. better than keep quiet without doing anything. (in my point of view)

Still there were some developers that are waiting for the perfect moment for them to revive their project, it maybe not this year, maybe in a year or so, let's wait for that. But, for us to wait for the alt season, then it really depends on the project as there are some project that are slowly moving, no development and there's no guarantee if they will do what's on their roadmap.

no more hype now in crypto currency market. Even bitcoin price now move down,and now what will happen to altcoin now if two major things that influence altcoin price dropped.working in Bounty campaign now not interested anymore,reward value decrease alot since market still in bearish trend. Maybe left it for a while and work on regular job till Bounty reward better could be our choice. Except if we work on campaign that pay using bitcoin or major altcoin.

Due to the worst condition of the market mostly projects turn into SCAM because of their failure in achieving their target. Secondly, good exchanges charge for a listing of the coin so there again bounty hunters suffer they have to wait too long to sell their earned coins. In this condition only signature campaigns are good that are paying in BTC or ETH.

investment cannot become rich overnight. whose name is investment must wait until the coin price rises high. if someone buys at a high price, the only way is to be patient and wait for the altcoin market to arrive or at least see opportunities above the initial capital purchase.

Mate, we have already wasted a lot of time running behind worthless bounties where either it turns out to a scam or the tokens are distributed when developers and investors would have already dumped and made it zero. I think been a part of numerous bounty campaigns as a manager as well as hunters and trust me nobody wants to join bounty nowadays unless it's run by a trusted bounty manager and proper set of developers. Bounty hunters have partially given up all the hopes in bounty campaigns as of now.

I think that waiting for the season of altcoins is reasonable for those people for whom participation in bounty campaigns is an extra money income but not the only tool of earnings

Scam projects aren't doing it because of bear market. If they want to scam they want to scam and the market has nothing to do with it. Most scam projects are built to scam like bitconnect and you have to see the difference between bankrupt projects and scams. Bankruptcy can happen to anyone and can be the result of the bear market.

You shouldn't wait for the altcoin season. Any moment is good to accumulate and wait. Bull market can sometimes last for only 2 months. What are you going to do then? Rush all bounties at once?

   Of course I'm aware of potential risks, and if I sell one of them I will probably sell all of them, and that can be the very
stupid thing to do. I will risk and wait, if one of them become successful in the future I will be happy.
   As I said, I don't relay on income from bounty campaigns, it's the way to earn some tokens. I choose in which campaigns
I participate and I support the project all the way! Not just for initial profit!

And that's true on what you said that could be one of the reason also that some bounty hunters have a busy in our real life.
Or else some project are now have not interested and more of them become exit scam in the end of IEO or ICO.

Ill have bounty campaign right now and its almost 1 year I wait but in the end they locked the channel and no news coming from them.

I personally am still a Becomes bounty hunter until now even though the altcoin market is not in good condition because bounty is my main job
although nowadays it's hard to find a good bountyI keep spirit and don't stop but at this time be more careful choosing bounty if you work wants to get paid

You wouldn't blame bounty hunters participating less in bounties now, as there are very few projects that ain't scam. And it is hard to know the few that are not scam. However, bounty hunters, who have the time, can do their research and participate in potentially successful project's bounties. But, hey, there is no assurance.

Bounty projects for now are not that profitable like those previous years but still some of the bounters still manage to make profits with few of those good bounties. Even myself i still participate in bounties even if the profits is not really big. Atleast i'm still making profits than making nothing at all.

I believe they are smart enough to find good bounties this year and not me. I feel (deep) sad and disappointment participating bounties since last year but got nothing in the ends, all my efforts get busted and making me away to skip bounties. Maybe if I could see a reliable project/bounty one of these days then I'll put my self at risk again but seeing no changes around, it makes no sense of doing it.

I think it is better to follow projects now than it was earlier. I say this because you need to try much harder now to raise the bar as compared to what it was in the past. It isn't enough to just reach the minimum requirements anymore. No longer will a fancy website with fancy transitions make people invest. You actually have to have something of substance now. I mean yeah aa few get through the cracks because foolish people support them but hey what are you gonna do?

Bounty hunters should not wait for the altcoin season if their tokens are not showing any signs of growth or potential. If they think that their tokens are not going to pump even in the altcoin season, they better dump all of them before they will get to the bottom and lose whatever little worth is left in them. They need to take note that majority of the new tokens are not gaining anything good. Most failed.

I know what you mean.  But we need to understand that if you put in the effort to do a workload that lasts for several days but the results are lower then surely no one will do it.  The bounty piece is shrinking and there are so many people involved so I think it's normal for bounty hunters to leave, that's the rule of the market.

I keep joining with bounties campaign although altcoin season never coming, I think when have many bounty campaign still available for joining I keep participated and allow with many bounties campaign. But I am looking for bounty campaign running just few weeks and tired participated at bounty campaign have running above ten weeks.

Because it's a complete waste of time and effort. In this season even if you will be able to find a good project, you will end up only earning a few bucks unlike in peak season that your earnings are way good compare now.

And aside from that, most of the projects now are struggling therefore it is very difficult to choose on what project to support on and make sure that our effort and time will be paid of upon the end of the bounty campaign. As what I saw right now, it is like 45% of the bounty participants are resting while waiting for the market to recover.

It is not all of us that is willing to go to extra lengths and it is also not all of us that earn the big part of his income through bounty hunting. So if someone has something tangible better than bounty it is better to focus on it. Though, there are still good projects but they're not many and it will take a well experienced bounty hunter to scout for such projects.

The reality is there may never be another full blown alt-coin season where the entire market experiences positive price action and there are plenty of lucrative bounty campaigns, but there is a good chance the market will experience more growth in both IEOs and STOs next year so if you are a bounty hunter the wait shouldn't be too long

Many hunters hardly wait so they are known for dumping tokens once listed but this character came in them through how team dumps tokens on them so in general, there's no trust in the market so far

The previous altcoin season also occurred due to the acceleration of the roadmap, Ico hardcap which was followed by the ease of listing in popular markets, so the holders also had hype that ran sequentially, but now it is very different where most can only enter a small market with low traffic. How can they face the same season when traders prefer ieo coins and old coins with better volumes? This is a kind of inconvenience for bounty hunters, their hopes are good, but I think the project that will be followed will not be optimal.

Bounty hunter season maybe have ended with many bounty campaign failed after listing on exchange market and have trouble with distribution,  many ICO can't reached hard cap coin sale target make bounty campaign failed and miss reward from bounty, we need when bitcoin and altcoin raise up to give back for ICO become success and many bounty hunter will happy for joining bounty.

Cryptocurrency market affects all other things associated with crypto. Bounties are not left out. If the market is good like in bull market, there will be lots of projects to go round with higher rewards but if in bear markets, we will only see few projects and most of them will have poor rewards or just low volume in exchange

Maybe because of the many scam projects which then make bounty hunters feel that what they are doing is just futile and a waste of time so they choose to wait for the right time to re-participate in a project and I think this is natural for everyone when they feel tired of what they have got, but it is not possible that they will miss a good project if they stop to keep watching and searching.

First of all, because the bounty takes quite a lot of time, which can be spent on other things and needs, able to generate income much more than coins of new projects.
Look at the statistics, most projects do not even enter the market, and those that come out have time to close before any serious movements in the market.
The bounty altcoin market crashes.

Good projects are not starting now with fundraising because they know that investors still have not regained confidence in the crypocurrency market. Projects that are now appearing have no chance even to collect a softcap, so there is nothing to say about listing on exchange and get anything from bounty reward for hunters. Bounty hunters, just like good projects, are waiting for the market to improve and new capital to help develop projects, without it nothing will go forvard.

The rest are not shitcoins, it seems you don't know what you are talking about, sessia bounty was so good that i regret missing out, it have huge trading volume on exchange, can't say about the rest but i am so sure of sessia project

That's because not all bounty hunters has a lot of patience, and that thing is normal. like me if i sense that bounty works is not productive anymore i would not hesitate to leave and find new alternative apart from bounty hunting i'm sure there is another opportunity in the cryptocurrency industry. not only just bounty hunting. 

You have a good point. As a bounty hunter we don't have to wait the altcoin season because no one knows when it happen or if it possible to happen again. Don't waste your time at waiting for not sure moment. Just take the risk and because like you said most of the project now are already meet the success even it is not an altcoin season.

Success could be define in so many basis, and regarding about what you guys are discussing, the other one doesn't care about the quality of a bounty and you are, that is why you are coming to different point of view, however, you are both correct.

If we are going to talk about legit bounties and successful, then there are still ones, but if we are going to add the quality of their tokens and the solidity of their project, well there is almost none, unlike what we had in 2017. Since the start of 2018, I could say that I've only received shit coins in my wallet too.

Yes, but you should still think about the risks when joining in it. You work but don't get paid I think it's just a waste of time. so I think you can join some of the current projects provided the project can last for a long time

I too believe no bounty hunter might have been patience enough to hold and wait. At the same time, I don’t see anything wrong or bad habit here is converting whatever coin that they have and selling them for bitcoin or Ethereum, because in the first place, projects are the ones even making mistake first of not making payment in Ethereum or bitcoin, or even making use of any of these two coins for their project rather than just creating their own coin.

It is not a bad habit if they convert it, it would even help boost the value of the most popular coins in the cryptocurrency sphere which is bitcoin and Ethereum, and this is even the role that these coins is meant to play on the life of Ethereum and bitcoin unlike now that they have no single effect or addition to them.

That is true and I was one of them. Of course there are many projects ongoing despite the fact that we were let down by most projects we supported in 2018. The problem is just that how do we know the right ones to pay off big.

Waiting won't do any good either, we never know when market will change for the better so instead of wasting time why not give a try on few good projects trying to achieve something? who knows? they might actually turn out good

Of course, there are interesting projects that would normally be very successful. However, at the current market condition they are not able to collect even a softcap because investors are afraid that this is not the end of the bear market. When investors regain confidence in the cryptocurrency market, the situation will change completely for good projects as well as for bounty hunters.

That is actually the problem, bounty hunters keep on hunting good projects and end up having their efforts wasted. So here's my point, instead of waiting for the altcoin season to come, what if we do our best to have new knowledge, though the market is not profitable yet for tasks like bounty, we seem like preparing for the bull season when we have huge knowledge about the situation, basically this new knowledge will enable us to figure out things which can provide us with profits. Let's say for example if you are just watching coin market cap having small ups and downs, why don't you try trading altcoins and bitcoin as well? In this case, instead of just watching the market fluctuates, we can learn the reason behind it through trading.

I agree that bounty hunters do not have to wait for an altseason because new projects also have the opportunity to grow. Even though many campaigns are scam or do not pay the hunters, following the campaign has nothing to lose because it is possible that the project we are participating in will be successful in the market.

I would have missed miracle tele bounty and blockstamp if i was waiting for altcoin season to return all this while, it doesn't make any sense to quit because there is no altcoin season, if new projects are not quitting and still continue to release new projects i will never stop

You are right. I agree with you. Most projects are faulty compared to 2017. I hope there is some good ahead.

It is great how persistent you are, but I wonder what you will say when after a few months it turns out that all the projects you supported have disappeared or have failed, and you have received nothing for your support.
Unfortunately, but the mere fact that new projects appear does not mean that they will be able to succeed at the current market condition.

I am fully convinced that there are still worthy projects. So I continue to participate in the bounty. I can't say that on the bounty you can make good money now, but a little extra income is possible here. In addition, there are coins with the prospect of growth, which is worth holding for some time.

The only option for bounty hunters is to join on another campaign since if the other one is failed then it must be a time to move on. But if they pay still no guarantee since they cannot be listed on big exchange and most provably this is the one who killed the value but hopefully we can see another ATH since it's been a long time that we are setting on ridiculous bad market for long time.

HI Furryball, thanks for your opinion. Yeah, I agree with you, we dont even need something call "season", we can earn money on bounty anytime. For example, then Tokoin bounty start, the market at that time is really bad, but it have been list on Kucoin, and done an IEO there. AFter that, the price is pump 12 times! So that, we just need to choose the good project to join in bounty program.

For now maybe it is better not to suggest especially to new users in this forum that they can earn thru bounty anytime, as we know there's just a little chance now that you can earn a living thru bounties as there's a lot of scammers and unsuccessful ICO/IEO or rather campaign which will lead to just a waste of time, you should just do it every spare of your time and don't rely on it.

that is just one success project but there are millions project which failed. it cant make bounty becoming good in this time, bounty is still not good bcz most of them is failed
so, i think we need "season", bcz it can make most of bounty becoming good. we dont know will happen, but im sure it will

Few bounty projects are still very good and i am glad i never did give up after promoting few scam projects that left me with nothing, i am happy i joined good projects like
-bitwings
-ez365
-xcard etc.
They seem better than some but they are worth giving a try, you won't know until you try

That's correct. there are still good projects running. dyor and observation are important to that matter. just do a hardwork so you can find a better one that can succeed. many bounty managers now are seeking for a great project that will be presented to us. so dont lost hope, participating on a bounty campaign are still worth it.

indeed it is very unlikely to get big results from the bounty because there are so many projects that fail and also very many scam projects starting in 2018 until now, so it is really not recommended for new members who jump into the bounty world

I do not agree with you because so many other bounties paid this year. Namely Temtum, content protocol, carry protocol, Velic, zeux and so many others. Some projects still come good. It depends on where you are looking

Yes, actually they can really join on their chosen project as of now so that the projects are being promoted in different social media sites and especially in this forum. It is good not to stop because they should collect more of altcoin they got from the projects they are joining in so if that particular coin will rise up, they are earning, it is just like long term holding. It is awesome because if the bounty hunters stop less investors will know the particular project of how good it is. It is important for investors to be encouraged to invest in that particular project.

Actually, I think it's okay to wait for altseason. remembering at the moment there are a lot of bounties that end up being unclear (not having a market, scam, etc.) which is a question when the altseason occurs will bounty still available?, considering that at the moment bounty only contains new projects that have no potential and also I think bounty can be said not to be as busy as before. my advice never follows things that don't happen, but do what is right now even though it only gets small earnings at least it can be treated as an investment.

While the market conditions have definitely helped make the life of bounty hunters really difficult there are many other factors, the first one is that many bounty hunters want to make out of it a profession and any rational person knew this was impossible, 2017 was the perfect year for bounty hunters and because of it many people came to the forum thinking of getting the same kind of success.

But after the market crashed not only the market got difficult, the developers have taken advantage of the desperation of bounty hunters and are not paying them since they know they can get away with it.

It is a risk for bounty participants not to get paid if the ico or ieo project does not reach their sales target, so we as bounty participants must be able to accept it patiently because there is really nothing we can do. in this case, a declining market would be the reason for the developers not getting a profit is certainly a natural thing because with declining market prices, and the rise of ico fraud that tends to make investors reluctant to invest.

You are right, miracle tele failed already and the hunters who failed to dump the coins end up losing but blockstamp gives me good profit, i am not holding any token from these bounties as well so i am safe

Bounty is just a side job for me and although many projects fail to reach the target or the price falls, I still do it because I do it in my spare time. So I don't need to wait for an altseason to occur because I could have gotten a token, the price will go up some time in the future

If the project manages to collect necessary funds and to be listed on exchange, this is half of the success and there is a good chance that the price will increase in the future. Most bounty hunters are disappointed because at the moment just few projects are able to collect softcap at all.

Softcap is the main issue for many new projects because this days, i think its better to be on look out for projects with something fresh that will surely interest investors

Every thing has session,also they is time for everything, base on the current situation of alt-coin is very good to invest on them, mostly does one that has prospect, and also some exchange coin good to invest and is profitable in future.

being a bounty hunter right now is very unprofitable because the tokens they get are totally worthless but this is only a side job and why wait for the Altcoin season because it's better at this time to collect a few coins from the project until the Altcoin season arrives. I am still a bounty hunter until now because I believe the coins or tokens that I have will be valuable in the future.

Why do you think holding the useless tokens will bring something in the altcoin season to the bounty hunter? It is 100% time-wasting activity and you can make other things instead of spending your valuable time with worthless bounty tasks. Waiting for the altcoin season is understandable for the altcoin investors but it doesn't make sense to expect big gains from the bounty tokens even in the altcoin season.

There will always be a need for a bounty, whatever the form it takes, there will always be incentive to make the community participate in the success of a project.

It's just a matter of being able to find the legitimate ( or profitable ) projects that is harder than before obviously. But those who achieve to find it are more than rewarded

true, i agree to you we dont need to wait for altcoin season to earn, all we need is luck, patience and hardwork just work and work until you find a life changing bounty reward, patience is virtue.

it returns to the bounty's ability to find a legitimate project and also has an advantage over the long term. but it needs to be recognized that this year I did not find many profitable projects for the long term maybe my ability to be less thorough in conducting research

There have been fewer successful projects lately, so the hunters are leaving, many are now engaged in trade or keep their blogs on YouTube. Altcoin season will correct this situation and hunters will begin to return to the bounty.

Because we all still believe that altcoin season would seriously help to improve the prices of altcoins that we promoted, because nowadays all altcoins that have a bounty programme are losing massively after the first exchange listing.

but you can't fully wait and hope for the altcoin season. it is better to do other things to add experience and knowledge while waiting for the altcoin season to return, and the altcoin season might be able to help the price movements of several altcoins

right now I see a lot of old players in bounty campaign who still care about the "altcoin season" because I see that many of them are temporarily vacuum from the world of bounty campaign, and currently only a few old players are left and the rest are filled by new people looking for luck on bounty campaign well, this action is very unfortunate i think

As long as bitcoin does not make any progress, it is stupidity to expect altcoins growing up. If altcoin holders are looking for that time when finally their holding will bloom, they should learn bitcoin movements first. That way, it will become easy to predict upcoming seasons. The halving is about to happen. Bitcoin will definitely gain huge value. Altcoins wont do anything different. So now is the time to increase assets.

Bounty hunting is one of the best way to earn, but this doesn't gives assured earning because one in five projects distribute the tokens for the participants while majority just leave the bounty participants empty handed. Altcoin season hasn't begun, lucky bounty hunters too benefit good by the time of altcoin season. Waiting for altcoin season isn't the fair decision, good is to invest by now as it serves to be the time for large scale investment.

The altcoin season is difficult to determine and when it will happen and I think if there are still Scamer, the altcoin season will not arrive, just look at it now that ICO is rarely used because investors believe that in selling ICO there is always a scamer.
And I think with luck from Bounty we can make money, although not necessarily, what is clear is that with hard work there must be maximum results.

Expecting the bullish prices from BTC and hoping the altcoin season will come behind that price soaring which will accelerate the altcoin prices is the best method we have observed in the crypto market, in general markets. Massive price changes will affect the predictions of the bearish crypto traders and they will not want to be in front of the big price swing.

I am still more and more convinced that altcoin season will not come this year and I'm a little skeptical if it comes. Because it would be so easy to buy altcoins now in a huge sale and sell them when they reach again the ATH price.

actually what the bounty hunters are looking for is money, actually in the world of crypto that can make money not just bounties, so it depends on how we can find money in the crypto world, whether it's trading, airdrop or others.
and if you want to work on the bounty, don't play as long as you choose, let's see the project from the website, whitepaper, team.

I think new projects doesn't take any risk, all new projects is trying to reach softcap. Although same lose are doing both, it is time. If new project ideas isn't good and bounty hunter don't select good project, we're wasting our time. But how we suggest this to inactive hunter

IMO, we can say that almost bounty hunters depended on altcoin season, and when the market go down like over 2 years, only BTC can survive, very few new projects can be launched and raised fund. This time some projects still have bounty program, but you can see their allocation is limited, and the tasks are also very difficult. All we need to do now is waiting for a better market condition.

your statement is contrary each other. How can most of altcoins reach new ATH without altcoins season.
you are skeptical with altseason so it means you dont expect new ATH to happen

for bounty hunter, it is normal if they wait altseason. bcause most bounties are suck nowadays
so, it is just wasting their time if they do bounty. better to wait until the bounty good again!

some of them have different issues. Not that they are waiting for a season but rather most of the bounty hunters out there are red tagged, if they have created new accounts, then probably they are having a hard time earning merits. I think they couldn't bare that if they will enter bounties with low ranks, they will just receive so little shares in the pool, I would do the same if I were in their case-quit.

If you ask my sincere thoughts regarding this matter, those good days are long gone when bounty hunting was one of the working ways to make some bucks or get tokens for free. Time has changed and at present, it is harder to find a good project than finding cybercriminals. The best is to not waste time searching for good bounty programs. There are more reliable ways to get benefit out of digital coin market.

Out of the thousands of ICOs we had in 2017 and 2018, how many are surviving now? I won't be surprised if the number is less than 10%. And only a few dozen among them have given consistent returns in the long-term. The situation won't improve even if there is an altcoin season. The ICOs will be successful only if the developers work hard and come up with new ideas. Depending on the market sentiment alone will be suicidal. And it will be like trying to leach off from the existence of Bitcoin.

We all got our own opinion about being bounty hunter. For me i docit when i have my free time only. so i really dont care if it bring me profit or not. im just trying and hoping it will gain success. Some might fail but some will be alive. Just always believe on cryptos. Spend more time on it and you will hit a real jackpot one day for sure.

Expecting the growth of the cryptocurrency market is necessary for trading our tokens, earned in ICO bounty campaigns. To continue participating in bounty campaigns, the altcoin growth season is desirable, but not required. Of course, now the opportunities for the work of bounty hunters are not so big, but on the whole there are still promising projects. Here everyone has the right to decide what to do based on the availability of free time and other opportunities.

this attitude is most correct for participation in bounty campaigns. I also participate only in those projects that seem to me the most promising, but I'm not upset if they do not bring me huge profits

In this season that most of the altcoin prices have seriously gone down is when the tough people among bounty hunters will keep moving. Some have quitted along the way just because of great dip that most altcoins have experienced this year. Nonetheless, there should be an encouragement for continuity because it is not all the altcoins that have really lost value this season. There are still some good altcoins out there that only take the focused and diligent bounty hunters to discover. We need not to wait for altcoin season to come before we do something. There are still good projects out there with better altcoin price value.

You will not get profit when you are participating in bounty because you don't risk money and you are not an investor, just to make it clear, you will be receiving reward that is the same token or coin the investors are receiving.

Don't worry so much about the price but its just temporary if we are talking about legit and high potential projects here, they will certain grow in the long run when the market is bullish again.

Bounty hunters won't come back until again cryptocurrency bullrun ( deactivate account). Some hunters already joined in this market who's stopped support after 2018. Until bullrun altcoins season will come one after one as update development process.

I am convinced that bounty projects are still successful. I have the results of successful projects, I was even able to earn some money this year. I dont know how long they will live, but I will participate in them as long as they continue to bring me profit.

The optimism you say about the bounty project is necessary and I appreciate it very much, I agree with you that in the midst of the many bounty projects that are scam, there are still those who can still produce well even though it may not be as beautiful as when the bounty is writhing and triumphant. but don't be pessimistic that the bounty will return again.

Bounty programs, signature campaign and airdrops used to be an easy way to make some coins without investing any penny. with an increase in popularity of cryptocurrencies, scammers have found a new way to trick common people around. also, The halving is on its way and after that Bitcoin will rise high. Once, this happens potential altcoins will also gain value. So instead of looking for bounties it is recommended to have some Bitcoin or potential altcoins in hands.

I think bounty hunting is a kind of work that really need a great patience. I believe that we dont really need to wait for  the altcoin season because altcoin season may occur anytime all we have to do is to prepare for it and continue doing what we have started for good.

Very correct thoughts. We just have to work for the future. Now you do not know what bounty project will be successful. But if 1 of the 10 will shoot in the future, then we are not in vain tried.

And that is the main problem for bounty hunters, they had been working for two years and their rewards they have gotten by their efforts are almost nonexistent how long are they willing to wait before they give up, stop doing bounties and try to do something else to try to get profits in this market? We all know the altcoin season will at some point appear but what will they do if this doesn't happen until 2021 or 2022?

Are they willing to work for two or three additional years with no pay just for the hope that someday a bounty campaign is finally going to pay them for all their efforts, if they invested all of that effort into something else then they could get a lot of fiat and then buy whatever coin they want.
