To all newbies or new comers, here are few advice for you guys if you want to start promoting bounties

1. Many bounties won't pay
Its a real fact that some might not want to accept for one reason or the other, new projects aren't that attractive to investors anymore so be ready for the worst.

2. Bounties are still Profitable
Ignore whatever bounty hunters are saying, yes many projects aren't paying but still some are paying, experience of a bounty hunter is different from one another, some bounty hunters still find it hard to learn from their mistakes


Remember that even good projects that looks promising can still fail but here is what I want you to hold on to, a single bounty project can cover for all your losses, what I meant is 1 project can give you biggest profits even when you've promoted 10 projects that gives nothing, this is why its called BOUNTY.

 ;D I'm used to not getting paid from bounties because the projects you have high hopes on can easily failed you and the ones you least expected will pay good rewards to hunters, bounties is gambling now so I don't trust any new bounty project until they pay, I always like taking the risks and most times I'm glad I did

I think that bounties are much less effective these days for the organisers because they are mainly addressed to retail investors which are either out of the market as all those ICO scams and negative ROIs scared the hell out of them or they are putting less risk, thus it is much more productive for projects to focus on institutional investors.

Though that doesn't mean you can't catch a golden goose here and there. ;)
I'll say this: if you don't have better means to make money, go ahead and hunt for bounties haha

You are absolutely right, mate. Whoever wants to do bounties they should try luck on several bounties at the same time! Because as you said the majority of bounty campaigns are not paying, but if one good bounty pays you then that can cover your all losses, that's why everyone should keep doing bounties, bounty still has good future!

The fact that there are still people who like to join a bounty campaign that explains they are at least getting something.
Some people just generalized the bounty campaign, just because they got scammed, they think all the bounty campaigns are already scammed.

Maybe it's safe to say that earning money in bounty campaign today is harder compared to the past, or prior to the bull run and during the bull run.

Most of the bounty hunters are know about are really bounties and once they join they need to be prepare of many possible to happen.

But it is good that your target about in your thread is the newbie bounty hunters who are looking for more information about this.
Bounties is good but it turns into bad because of the scammer team project who use ICO and the other people to scam the other.

There are 3 ways that possible that you encounter in bounties such as you get your token , not paid and you paid but the value is zero or not tradbable.

Well, thats your perspective. but in reality, it may differ because every one of us has a threshold in terms of compensation with our effort while promoting bounties if you consider that even a penny was also a profit then its fine no one can question you about that since it's your own belief. but you can't force others to do what you believe. just saying! But for newbies, it's quite helpful.

It's hard for you to get a lot of profit from bounty at the moment. The budget for bounty is now shrinking and you will not be able to make too much money with it, you can only make a small amount of bounty during this period. It is better to have a more stable job and do not waste too much time with bounty

Here's another fact about bounties, many will pull a trick at the end of the campaign or before distribution. A lot of them would require KYC verification nowadays and will tell you it's all about compliance or that it's too avoid cheaters. The fact is that they are the one cheating bounty hunters. They just want to attract as many hunters at the beginning that's why they never mention KYC but they never planned on paying everyone who worked.

Maybe 1 out of 100 bounties are profitable.

I wonder how many bounties have you joined so far with your rank and your activity. You made your point, however, the ICO hype is gone and the success rate of ICO nowadays are too low since only a few investors trust ICO. There are still good projects out there, but as a bounty hunter we must also do our art to do research before joining.

I agree that bounty is still profitable but it has become a hit or miss, it's like a box of chocolate you never know what you are going to get but you must accept the fact that bounty is not always that profitable, this is to save you all the depression of working for months without getting anything.

I think that only a small percent of all the bounties are worth it.
Some would still pay but the bounty hunter's problem doesn't stop there,
They would still have to wait till the crypto gets a demand or be listed on exchange.
Most of the time they would only get the token but it would be worthless.

ICO days were a big opportunity in bounties, now the paying bounties are those who offer weekly payments. Those who are in crowdsourcing base is a 50/50 chances whether they will really pay or not. Better choose campaign that really allocates budget in bounty than wait too long on projects that keeps extending, however it will always depend on what project it is.

Precisely! You should really take a risk joining on those such fake bounties to find one-time bigtime profits for such a bounty campaign.
But I think, after the bull run of 2017 - 2018 bounty campaigns started to lay down especially on the bear market because for sure, most of the bounty campaigns before are turned into ghost or scam.

First thing you said that bounties are not paying and then you stated that it is profitable. Then, how did you conclude that bounties are profitable if they're not paying you. Actually, I already tried joining in bounty and I guess it's not enough to fulfill all my effort and time that I spent in bounty campaign and the token that I have earn from bounty are still in my wallet and I don't know if I'm going to sell it out. Then, based on what I see right now, most of the bounty campaign seems like some of them are worthless or they can't even reach their softcap on their ICO or IEO. Even most of the bounty hunters face different scam projects they still intend to join because they know there will be a new project that they will bring more income to them. Lastly for me, it's more profitable in the signature campaign that pay you in bitcoin than spending your time in bounty campaign which there's no assurance that you will earn.

So rather than maybe try to build an account on the forum and try participating in Btc bounties, or get something like a job in real life that you'll be rest assured you will get paid as at when due, you expect a user to keep trying bounties in the hope that someday one will pay them, that's a limited mindset imo, users should know they can do better than that. Even if you get paid, those tokens go to zero in no time.

And FYI, if you just keep trying out bounties alone, envisioning the forum as an "ATM machine" to make money, you will never have a decent account nor will you grow in rank.

It only means that bounty campaigns are like try and error because even if we will research about the project before we joined their bounty campaigns, it will still not guarantee us that we can fully avoid shit and scam projects.

If we are patience and we put effort in bounty campaigns then time will surely come that we can hit the jackpot bounty where we can earn a decent amount of money. Just don't give up in bounty campaigns even if you fail many times.

We can say that bounty campaigns are profitable because still you are able to earn more than nothing. But we can´t say that they are profitable in compare with last 2-3 years.  :'(

If you follow this rules, then you will be earning good rewards from bounty surely! I can't disagree with what you said! A good bounty doesn't pay good rewards most of the time! I never thought Airwallet can pay that high reward like 1500-2000$ and my expectation on Ferrum was failed, earned only 36$! where Ferrum was a great project and I had no expectation in Airwallet! If you are able to take the pain and risk to do all bounties, then congrats your portfolio will be positive for always! When you become very choosy in bounties then your earning will not be enough good!

Do not expect too much.
That is my motto when joining bounties.
I have seen a lot of people that had been mad in this community and I don't think that should be done.
First of all, you should do your own research.
If not, then the failure of getting paid is getting higher. Pick the right one.
With that, you are getting a higher percentage that you will profit from all your efforts of whatever bounty you joined in.
Better, you will receive a good number. Like thousands of dollars.

These facts are some realities for those newbies who think joining bounty will make their life change in a months of promoting some new projects. Most of the time they will not pay you after you finish the allocated time of promoting their project rather they will tell you to wait for a month or so. By that time if those projects are good, you will get some decent amount of earnings from promoting those bounties. But let me tell you this, some bounties are brutal because even when you get your due from them, the tokens are not sellable because the campaign and the ICO are not successful and ended for the tokens to become shit coins.

they are not newbies if they are already aware that some bounties arent paying but they still continue to join anyway  . the reason why they continue is they dont also know if the bounty is legit or not so they are only trying thier luck . also there are new projects that are legit and has a good purpose , these kinds are still atractive to investors  .   . bounty is call a bounty not because it pays big but the term bounty means money for doing certain task  .

p.s  ,  those  facts that are listed on the first page are not only for newbies but also for newbies at heart

Just a motivation, keep the spirit and never complain because it will not help you. ignore someone who says the bounty is currently bullshit, which says like it's just someone who is lazy to analyze or research a project. remember! this year 2020 and some signs of bull run signals are starting to appear. yeah, potential projects won't be launched if market conditions don't allow and IMO is currently the right time for the project to launch. As a bounty hunter, that is staying alert to scam projects, aside from spending a lot of time and energy, investors are also victims of these promotions.

If you can handle the depression of working for months or probably years without getting anything then its fine, if you can't its really not healthy to depend entirely on bounties for everyday living, you will end up frustrated and that's not good for health

Frustrated bounty hunters getting inspired for such motivation, definitely it's not a bad things. Bounties still profitable i don't think, if you joined 50 campaigns and you have been receiving from only 1 project, how your will consider it's a profitable. Not expecting such too much amount which capable to recover your all efforts.

It is better than blame the project, because if we plant in our mind first if bounty campaign is something that we can't rely as main income, or maybe do a lot of campaign maybe can help make our chance to get big rewards is bigger. And there are some campaigns that we can pick to join a lot of project in same time.

Joining 50 campaigns and still just 1 project will be the one who will profitable and still you can get profit on it so it is also a good news for us although it is very low the payment but still it is good enough and that's the fact behind it. Earning in a 1 project may seems to be hard enough and very low in terms of payment but still you earned that is the beauty behind the bounties.

As a beginner bounty hunter it will be very difficult to choose a bounty that will pay them, but don't just fall silent as a beginner, it's better to continue to look for information on how to find a bounty campaign and pay. Education is very important and don't be lazy to read.
I myself was also a beginner bounty hunter who didn't know about bounties, cryptocurrency, about blockchain and others, but with my desire to learn I finally started to understand and was able to get income from bounty.

Bounty now is full of scams and fraudsters, you also need to be vigilant and analyze first. You don't need to bother analyzing the project from the beginning,
you can visit  Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)  Thread to find out what bounty campaigns that Scam has indicated, this will be very helpful

For now bounty campaigns like that are very rarely found. because it is covered by a lot of ampanye bounty scams.
Being good and paying is not necessarily promising. paid with Tokens but Exchange is not yet available so that tokens have arrived, this is a very clear risk felt.

don't be a person accustomed to not being paid, you must be more critical must learn and not to repeat the same mistakes.

It is very hard to see a project that will pay you a big profit that will cover for 10 fail promotion again. People do not contribute to token sales again and it is very hard these days for any project to even makes the soft cap. Signature campaign in bounty used to be the payment that gives hunters big rewards and this can even be bigger if the hunters also participate in other campaigns but today many of this bounty does not even include signature campaign anymore while some that include it will allocate the lowest percentage of token to it.

then what about the other 49 projects? it's like gambling if you follow a bounty campaign. I do not participate in any bounty campaigns. like a fact that you have said that maybe there is only a 1-10% chance, we get payment from the campaign that we follow. that too isn't much worth selling.

That's the reality this year and last year there are only few bounties that can be considered profitable or that pays well, i joined many bounties and for me the time and the commitment that i give to those bounties is not worth it, imagine setting an alarm so you can't forget the bounty and going to the computer shop to do bounty reports from different bounty for 2 months and getting an estimation of $20 for the 2 months, but never give up always join and don't take bounty so seriously.

all the facts presented by op are true and sometimes in the matter of "reward" sometimes the reward from bounty can be defeated by airdrop and I strongly recommend that for newcomers never underestimate airdrop because sometimes even though the level of "gambling" is equivalent to bountmy, but it is also worth of course you have to be careful too because there is no guarantee all airdrops always pay

I stop doing many bounties because I feel pain when I stick in honesty and do hard work on bounties and they deceive us! But your idea and observation are very well. I heard many guys earned 8-10K USD from a single campaign called Counting house in 2018 when other coins had a bear market issue or scam, fail issues! So, that one bounty covered them very well! So, doing several bounties are a very good job, any project can click your luck.

quite logically what you have explained above, but the problem is 1. I mean where 1 project can give you the greatest benefit? because based on what I know that there are more scam projects compared to successful projects. if we know that 1 project can be profitable maybe we also will never worry about fraud projects. so, I thought it was like speculation and good luck to participate in becoming a project promoter.

Most of them actually,

Bounty hunters tend to stop participating in bounty campaigns due to this reason. Also, even if the bounty campaign will pay, they receive payment which is not enough for bounty hunters. It is not the same as how bounty works before, but still, payment should be on the right amount to justify their works.

Not really profitable,
I have seen a few bounty campaigns that actually paid recently and the total amount that you can receive is really small and if you will compute on how long bounty campaign runs, it is not enough.

totally agree with your opinion about the scam project that has happened a few years back even now. and we can not avoid the fact that many projects that fail halfway through and even end up not making enough payments, but do not rule out the possibility of someone who works well and can pay. once again all of these things sometimes our analysis can be meaningless because it can always be wrong. so if you want to say I agree with you that luck also affects so we can get the best.

your point is right but you should add more point.Like you can't earn enough money only doing social media campaign like facebook twitter.you can do youtube content creation, article writing, bug bounty.if you can do all of these campaign then there is some hope if they paid you will get some bucks.but don't always think that you will get 1000$ from doing bounty campaign.because most of the bounty hunters think that they will earn huge money from bounty, in reality after received low rewards they disappointed.You should expect low amount.

I know what you mean you are telling hunters to compromise on what you get and accept the losses but i do not think thats how it should work, everyone who is promised reward for any task should be paid as promised and there is no other option, not only it is highly unethical but also against global labor laws so each bounty campaign should pay all promoters as promised or else they will be considered scam and fraud.

yes. I agree with your opinion that everyone who follows a bounty campaign must have a different experience. because so many projects are launched with different people. then it certainly has differences in each person. but my advice to all beginners so do not ever give up and complain if there is one project that does not pay because there are still many other projects that you can follow and you will definitely get the maximum results

perhaps this is one of the few positive views on the bounty campaign market. I agree with it. I believe that each person who makes a lot of effort into working with bounty projects receives a good reward. this does not always happen quickly and sometimes in order for your coins to cost a lot of money you will have to wait half of the year or maybe a year, but this is still a good additional money income.

You are right, There are still bounties that are paying now, like Bounty Digital Gold. However, the Bounty comparison is now greatly reduced compared to the previous year because in the previous year there were quite a number of Bounties that took place simultaneously and were managed by experienced BM but now the bounty project is relatively a little which comes out every day.

Isn't that a waste of time, if you're an individual that value his time then you'll realize it's more profitable to promote a bitcoin paying campaign than join over 10 bounties just to profit from one. On the average, most bounty last for 3 months that means it's a total of 30 month for the 10 project.

Now imagine earning approximately just $5 weekly for 30 months that's around $600 you would had earned. Although most bitcoin campaign pays more than this but I'm using this figure for my example since (I think) that's the least you can earn participating in a bitcoin paying campaign based in your rank.

Don't fool yourself wasting time waiting for that jackpot bounties when you can build up you account and enjoy other privileges of the forum like joining a bitcoin paying signature campaign etc.

You are very right, and i think a motivational summary is for bounty hunters to be persistent and consistent, because irrespective of any troubles, consistency pays.
Bounty is very rewarding indeed, but you cannot make it a full time job,

and remember, as a bounty hunter, it is better to take 1 week to study the potentials of a project, than hopping in

But for me, the most important factor after checking the status of a project, is to check the bounty cap and bouty tokens allocation.

For you, what other factors do you consider?

Now days it's really rare to see some positive comments for bounty payment... :D :D It'll give some hope to all bounty hunters i guess whom are working so hard for some crypto token. It's really important to choose a good quality project which is really hard to find. I suggest to find a good bounty manager who always find for us a quality type projects. I'm not saying specific any bounty manager name but if you are really active in bounty thread then you will see which manager is so much popular for their project. With my couple of years experience i can sayl at the end you will definitely profit from bounty.

Well depends what bounty we are talking about , today most of the bounty is just wasting time,  some bounty is easy to make like twitter or facebook but signature and translating it is more like job!

Bounties are a joke. MAybe 1 out of a 100 offers decent money for the job.

I don't even join these anymore because the money you get for referrals and likes are just laughable. I've seen so many bounties that were paying out less than $5 and you had to really do a lot of work for them.

People from poor countries usually do even those bountries and airdrops that pay them $2 or something like that and that makes the managers confident they can keep the prices low and still pull it off.

Actually the payment issue/distribution token should be handle by bounty manager not by their team directly. I guess team behind the project aren't people who active on this forum and we can't know them closely. But when distribution token governed by bounty manager I believe that will be easy. The bounty manager can keep their reputation and they will distribute the token to all bounty hunter.

Or in other way, this forum should have the rule that bounty campaign should have an escrow. We can see the event of signature campaign which paid in btc, the user will ask to manager an escrow first before they give their application. Through those ways I confident there is no issue anymore about the negative thing of bounty campaign. Scam project or the bounty didn't paid the bounty hunter will be spared easily.

very true.

The best is yet to come for hunters, though the information is sufficient enough to keep a newbie bounty hunter going but it still needs to be a practical experience to better have an understanding. A bounty can pay you rewards that can cover a whole empire of bounties you have campaigned for, just be very selective with the bounty you help with promotions and ask questions for clarifications.

That's why it's called bounties, it's not a bounty if you can get easily, did you know what I mean?  :)

Sure, there are few bounties those are definitely will cover all of your losses. Although, it's quite difficult since all of them currently are just the same and if they don't do anything with the project itself, they won't attract any investors.

Bounty campaigns are always full of surprises. So try to totality without expectations too high, if you are lucky to get a high reward, if not then just accept it as experience and risk. Several times a join campaign that looks promising but has a drama ending, such as a token is locked, does not register on the exchange after so long, rewards are paid little by little or not all at once, etc. that is the risk.
So being a bounty hunter requires mental strength and patience, if you don't like that risk then hurry and leave :D

That's possible and hopefully that would be the kind of mentality for bounty hunters so they'll be positive with bounty hunting and not be easily discourage when one of the bounty they promoted does not play or will not pay what they're expecting.

As the market is struggling, the interest of the investors will also decline, so they need to be educated on the real market situation to be aware and stop complaining, instead they'll work when they have enough time to use and just maybe hold their reward for awhile.

I don't think that it is still profitable must of my friends who have been doing bounties decided to leave the forum since they couldn't gain from it anymore.
I still believe that there are some bounties that still pays but the chance is so small and even if they paid up their token would have a low value so the bounties hard work wouldn't still be worth it.

I totally agree with your point especially the first one however I got some doubt when it comes to the second one, why? You cannot say that one bounty can actually give you a lot especially, even though it is successful when it comes to sale, listing and lastly selling your token/coin will give you a lot of income, since it is service that you have rendered, can you give me one example? Because in my end, as of this writing, for the past 1 1/2 year, I never got good bounties.

Bounty hunting has become a core component of the cryptocurrency community and is being leveraged by exchanges, established companies and start-ups. But nowadays earning on bounties is completely hard. No everyone understands it, unfortunately.

Very much true about No1 there are so many project that bounty hunters help to promote and campaign for the project but after achieving their aim or partly achieving their aim, they will resfuse to pay the reward to hunters, it is a very selfish act on the part of the team so to speak,
And yes regarding No2, bounties are still profitable to join if you happens to find yourself promoting the right one, it usually make up for the pain of the unpaid ones.

When you join the bounty project, you should realize that the project can be failed in the future or the middle of the phase, so you should prepare if that is really happening. Right now, bounty programs are hard to succeed because the market is not back to the higher price, and we need to wait for more to see the market will be recover. Even if the bounty project can achieve success, their token is not worth to sell right now because all of the coins are not at a good price, so the token will need to wait until the market is recovering.

When I have a lot of free time I always participate in many bounty campaigns, and I always hope that if I join 10 campaigns there are at least 1-2 campaigns that pay for my hard work to promote the project to succeed. And besides, I always do my research first before joining to avoid project scams that cause harm to many people.

in fact, at the moment not all bounties pay, and when they pay, it's not necessarily profitable. however, to date, there have been many complaints regarding bounty payments and new token prices. although there are some bounties that deserve to be taken into account, but now it is quite difficult to find it.
so, for those who feel that doing a bounty is not a hard thing, I think it's worth doing. just don't expect to get big profits from the bounty.

Right for now most projects do not pay and if paying the coin can not be sold for various reasons. From 2019 until now there has not been a new project that big pays for me, so I'm still looking for that luck from one of the bounty projects that really pays out with the big.

Actually you dont need to ignore them just dont mind their complained. Most hunters, are just complaining regarding why some projects dont actually pay their participants and obviously most of them are just trying to fool them. Out of 10 bounty only 2 of them will be responsible to pay you and that's also a clear fact nowdays.


Reasons commonly affiliated with this is no fund raised or short and also no liquidity for the token due to no sector buys up their tokens. If you want to look for a good compensation bounty, just join btc paid campaign. More likely they can pay you not huge but at least a fair money for what you worked for.

Some people think they will get 50$ or 100$ from per bounty. But when they don't get paid from a lot of bounties then they start saying that bounty won't pay anymore. But that is how this sector work. There will always be some projects that won't pay and there will always be some projects that pay way more than your imagination and that covers all the losses. So for bounty hunter stop listing to others and keep working. It's better to do something instead of sitting like a duck.

If you think its still worth of your time why will you stop? The decision  will be base on you if you want  continue or stop the participation on bounty. It is base on what you experience if you see that you still earn good amount participating in bounty never stop . Be at your decision since you will the one who will benefit if you recieve a good amount of rewards, do not listen to others always check what you think is good for you.

I have been hearing many hunters saying they aren't profitable, well certainly they aren't as they were in like in 2017 where you could literally pick up any bounty and still be rewarded well. Nowadays, you have to look for good projects and you just might encounter a gem!

The point is, in my opinion, if just rely on bounties toi get incomer in the current era where ICO / IEO is not attracting investors, then you should be prepared to waste time, where you might not be paid for your promotion.  the issue for or not depends on the project and how you evaluate the project. even more than 58% of IEO cannot last long in the token market.

I think it depends on the projects your bounty hunting with. There are projects that acknowledges the benefits of marketing the projects and rewards well their bounty participants. With this, the project gets properly marketed and becomes successful in the market. Some projects simply just take for granted bounty hunters and pays them very low.

There are bounties that are still paying good amount according to the present market situation. I get paid nearly $50 every month from by signature campaign itself. It is just that you need to ring the right one and not apply to all. Signature campaign have always remained profitable. Leave all others and concentrate on only signature campaign.

Literally could pick up any? How I wish that's the case for most bounty. 2017 all bounty in altcoin is quite profitable why? Even dex exchange can be used to sell of those tokens from bounty.

I remember I can simply trade 200$ worth of tokens in etherdelta exchange. Imagine tokens from bounty can be monetizef easily and have buyers too. But now, its quite different you need to wait for an exchange. Also finding one that will pay you for real is quite hard task now.

You just can't expect so much from promoting bounties. In as much as it's not what every hunter would like to hear,  the truth that project developers do see hunters as either beggers or crumb eater still stand. After promoting bounties,  a lot of problems are prompt to arise from the devs being scared of of release few percent of allocation to hunters due to massive dump perculiar to bounty hunters or the devs not just wanting to pay till the token becomes a shit.... And the latest trend isn't just the devs now,  the BMs are also part of the problem as you can get screwed and denied reward by the managers

For this one I agree with you but I think this is also the right time to find another " bounty " out side crypto market. Crypto is similar with forex, one shoot can cover 3 fails shoot, we only need to get that moment. Many project is not paying even get pay the coin never list on exchanges, that's risk we need to reduce. To avoid stress the advice is simple try to think and find solution about legit bounty, can't find just find the alternative.

For you to be able to avoid this one, you should look for some bounty campaigns that pays every week so that you can avoid this kind of scamming cases. Weekly payment is good since you can secure that the project that you are in is literally paying a money. Also, look at the background of the every developer of the campaign if they have a successful projects before.

I think we should make a distinction between bounties and already established projects signature campaigns which pay in liquid cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. In the former case funds are most often escrowed as well so the risk of the participant is greatly diminished.

I really agreed with what you have said that even good and promising projects still fails, so if you are happy about bounty hinting, continue what you do, maybe sometimes you would find a good bounty campaign that you can earn to.

The fact now is 'how many tokens or coins can you get your hands on?'  you have to join multiple campaigns to maximize your profit, the more tokens you get the better

The first point, that's true sometimes they lock the token and only announce it after they lock it and they switch from no KYC to full KYC because they knew that not all bounty hunters agreed to KYC, point number, it's hard to find one sometimes legit one failed to generate funds and they paused the campaign.
They can abuse bounty hunters because they cannot do anything.

That's right, it always has been and will be, there are too many bounty companies that you study and think that these are top bounty companies, but in the end these bounty companies will either turn out to be a scam or simply will not pay to bounty hunters and yes, bounties still give profit.

I'm not going to sit around and ignore bounties just because many aren't paying hunters, i prefer to take risk than doing nothing and seeing people that don't like giving up getting paid from bounties, its better to take risks than doing nothing

indeed if you are someone who does not have a job in the real world then you can use your free time to do assignments and participate in bounty campaigns or airdrop but if you have jobs in the real world then you will find it difficult to do both because you have to be able to divide your time to work in the real world and on the bitcointalk forums.

the fact is that project now that many are not paying a bounty hunter and even some projects that earn thousands of dollars they do not want to pay a bounty hunter is very sad I think of a project for the future I always vigilant to follow a project to avoid disappointment and loss.

That 1 bounty is always present in a group you should just careful to look for it. Not everyone can show you some lead but a good hunter can see if the project his working own has some potential. More or less a good project never resort to begging or pleasing even hunter just to support them. So I think many here are not even know that bounty youve been telling us all about. Which I already figured out now.

This bounty of a thing should be left for dedicated bounty hunters only because I feel they are the only ones who will benefits the most, they have enough time to hunt for more and they won't be able to rely on a single project unlike people that have other jobs in real life

In 2017 if we got reward 5-6 projects out of 10 projects. And now from previous year 2019 to 2020 if you will joined 10-20 projects there no chances to get reward from single project. Big payments is depends on projects budget than if your luck favour than it's possible. Most of those deceiving and big payment is another big deal.                      

Unfortunately the last year, in many bounty campaigns did not any payment was made due to the project's failure or turning into a scam. In addition, the tokens sent in most paying bounty campaigns had no value. Satisfactory profit been obtained from only a few campaigns. For this reason, newbies should not expect much from any bounty campaign until the tokens are sent and they should not rely on the amount stated in the reward amount.

I would say that the bounty campaign market is just very difficult for newbies right now. but for me he just became very small. Now I can not participate in the bounty for several months, because I do not see projects for which I am ready to spend my time.

Being a bounty hunter in my opinion is an easy job compared to working offline, it's just that for now it's no longer the golden age of bounties, now it needs to research before promoting a project. in fact this is all due to scammers, where good and potential projects sometimes also fail, due to scammers now it is very difficult to find investors in this free market. until now I am still a bounty hunter (easy job) and I am sure there are still a number of projects there that are legitimate or potential and pay me according to what I do.

Yes, many bounties don't pay to the bounty hunters and few bounties pay but this amount is too low that can't cover transaction fees, sell fees and withdraw fee. By the way, sometimes few projects come to do bounty and they are good projects but their payment budget are not upto the hard work of the bounty hunters although we work in the hope of getting a little amount. We are neither leaving bounty nor getting payments according to our work.

We have seen many things that makes us not to be Frank with ourselves, we should know that; many projects with have been launched with different aims, many at which was intended for scam and others for real. Although, some projects looks promise from the beginning and later dump for scam, this has caused many mixed feelings among investors and bounty hunters. Nowadays, we find it difficult to know the real projects from fake projects, this is disturbing the entire industry.

You're right, though many bounties are scam nowadays there's also few existing that are legit. The only problem is its hard to determine what could it be because sometimes even you do an extensive research and careful where to participate, you're still ending up in a scam project.

Thats why most of us are saying bounties are not like before wherein it is still profitable and majority succeed. Its different now hence if you want to join in bounties make sure you're aware what to expect much better read what op says.

I would not recommend anybody to join bounties these days because people have been scamming a lot of users in the name of bounties.
Fake projects get launched and scam people into joining bounties and promoting their fake projects for free.
Although there are genuine projects that actually pay the people, bounties have a bad reputation because of the tremendous amount of scams happening.

I agree there's still good bounty exist even now a day there a lot came out not good bounty. For me bounty is one of the easy way to do to get earn and it is good for newbie when they want to get earn bounty is good start for them. Also bounty is really good to get earn especially when your rank is higher because your earning surely become higher also.

Even before when bounty program has just starting there were some bounty campaigns that did not pay due to the fact that the projects turned into scam or the project did not meet the certain amount of funds they wanted for the project that are running an ICO. It has just gotten worst lately as investors don't want or don't trust ICO projects anymore as they are afraid the get scammed.

i think its wrong opinion about bounties. i know most of bounty program scammed us and some other pay us for small amount. but we should not give up to find good campaign in in crypto market. many bounties outside forum that could give us some money. recently i find good airdrop campaign such as origin protocol and many other.if we want to participate in bitcoin bounty we have to improve our post quality and get merit as common requirement.

As a bounty hunter, you must prepare for the worst case scenario. In 2019, the number of ICO's declined so much compare to the last 2 years so the number of bounty campaigns also declined that much too and the fact that most of them don't pay makes bounty campaign right now not profitable anymore and a waste of time (for me).

Paying bounties are seldom to rare right now. In 10 bounty campaigns that you will join, you are lucky if 2-3 will pay you tokens and you can exchange it to the exchanges. As I said, bounty hunting for me isn't profitable for me already and it is a waste of time. It is not that profitable like what it is 2 years ago where many bounty campaigns are paying their bounty hunters.

Bounties pay much but the problem is bounties only payout when the projects meet soft and hard caps. If they fails to meet these caps bounties are not usually payout as promised. So due to the massive slump in crypto economy new investment is not entering in the market and new projects are failing to launching. I have seen golden era of bounties in 2017 and mid 2018 when bounties paid out as promised but after that since the recession hit the market everything has gone down...

I agree with TS, bounties still generate income. Those of the hunters who say that there is nothing to earn and there is nothing to do here probably could not rebuild after a very profitable past years.

Correct!  I joined several bounty campaigns when I left the Fortune Jack Sig camp way back 2018 (bounty were so promising during those time), of all the bounty I joined, not one gave me a good reward.


This might be true or not.  You should have given proof that bounty is still profitable.  That way no one will refute what you are saying here.

Sorry, I don't agree with you mate, because big payments do not depend on the project's budget, it depends on the project reputation! Like Mycrojobs has 800K USD worth coin budget for the bounty but when bounty hunter received their payment, that was pure shit. When harmony bounty budget was 15K USD and then it became 150K USD worth when the hunter received it. But you said the truth that in 2017, we used to getting payment from most of the bounty campaign and now even big successful project deceive us.

Yes, you are right. I know many people who left their job to continue their bounty job with full stress. Those people don't miss a single project even they know most of them will scam. But in the end, overall they are making huge money from bounties. They spend huge time on bounty and airdrop and the result is really inspiring! So, there is still good money if you are able to do it widely!

Though many hunters have concluded that campaigns are not profitable anymore but the truth is that we still have many campaign that are profitable if we can take our time to research.

agree, that among the many campaigns that do not produce according to our wishes, there are still some that can be relied upon and can deliver results. It is really needed research and analysis if you want to participate in a campaign even though it is not easy, but there is still a chance that there is still a campaign that is really good and respects the participants.

It is true that many bounties don't pay the bounty hunters for several crucial reasons. But they are not the bounties paid in BTC, but mostly bounties paid in new altcoins. Some reasons that make no payments are:
1. Failed to reach softcap/hardcap, so the team members stop the project. (less interest from investors)
2. The projects are scams, so the team members suddenly disappeared. 
3. The token values of the new projects have almost zero values on the exchanges. This is also the same as no payment for me.  :D

A common mistake that newbies often make is to overestimate expectations so that when expectations do not match reality, due to unfavourable market conditions or other factors, they will be overly disappointed. Cryptocurrency is sometimes difficult to predict and what happens is often unthinkable, so it is better to focus on analyzing promising projects with real products if you are afraid of the risk of not being paid then choose a trusted bounty manager, like yahoo, hampuz, etc. but you also must have advantages and the ability to be selected to join their campaign.

I totally agree with you about bounties that are considered not profitable anymore. In fact, if we try hard the hope is always there. Indeed,
it must be admitted that many IEO projects delay even not paying bounty participants. But that is a reality that we must accept, because
there is no guarantee in this case, the developer also does not want to lose in this. But the good news from all the bounties that we follow
must be that there are 1-2 projects that pay quite a lot. So I think bounties are still worth doing, rather than you doing faucets.

There was no actual payment system in bounty and all based on the how the progress of the company that we have partcipated on it. Just take a look at tachyon and some hunters were able to get more than $600 in a short term campaign.
Too much people are not even learning from their past experience.

I agree. So we must stop generalizing that all bounties are failure and not worthy because there are still existing bounty projects that are good and payable for the promotion works you did for them. It is also true that we bounty hunters do have different experiences on bounty projects we got engaged with so it will still be best to discover it by your ownself and do not always believe into the sayings of other bounty hunters. But still always get into precautionary measures to avoid unexpected experience to come when you are into working with any bounty projects. Bounties are still that worthy this days, you just need to seek and work hard for you to be able to get into a profitable and worthy bounty.

I think you are exaggerating a bit when you say that are "still have many campaigns". Bounties appear almost every day, but that's just every day they are less and less. But to choose more or less decent ones is becoming more and more difficult.

You are absolutely right with the point you have dropped there. There are really lots of problems that the project can encounter before, during and after the development or producing it. It is true that there are still many projects that are intentionally scamming other people making some promises that they will not do in the future. Some projects don't really want the project to fail, because sometimes they are doing their part but when the token sale starts, there are no investors want to give some support even if that particular project is good, maybe they have their own reason for that.
Indeed, as of now, there are still bounty campaigns that are being produced but if you think of it, the market is not that good, maybe that is the reason why investors are not risking their money even if that particular project is awesome, there are some things that investors will consider because they are risking their own money. Maybe we, as a bounty hunter, we should still support upcoming project to gain more investors.

Still have chance with bounty become success at the future and repeat again what have bring us much profit coin bounty campaign reward, just waiting when bitcoin back to higher price many bounties campaign get back and return worth to higher price and become success later.

If you will join a lot of bounties i think legit one will distribute payment end of the day. So stop joining in new bounty this is not a solution. You can try to analyze to find legit projects for participate. Who guys promoting scam projects they didn’t analyzed to start before join these project. Bounty still worth although a few, but i don’t lose my expectation.                 

I participate around 1 year in Savedroid signature campaign and when I see how many people complain about the current situation, I have to laugh.
If you believe in the future of cryptocurrencies, then you change the view and realize the potential profit in the future, you become more motivated.  8)

However, it should be understood that there are not many projects that Bounty companies carry out that can become something worthwhile in the crypto market in the future. I am more motivated by the cryptography technology itself than by the financial opportunities that it provides. Unfortunately, most of the projects will never enter the market and will never be successful due to their technological features, and those projects that can cope with this task are far from always carried out by Bounty.

No bounty can be listed in the way that the announcement are provide in the bounty projects . If you are a parting in 10 bounty project , then good profit can made from 1 or 2 projects. Two of them are not going to be final. The rest of the bounty coins are coming to the wallet , but the value is not available when the listed ones are and the value of the coins is not being distributed properly. 

Well I checked the campaign you are in and it seems odd when I checked the spreadsheet. They calculated the stakes and tokens wrongly.

I can understand you working because the project has the potential but if someone are showing signs of deceiving nature then it's better not to promote them or get hands tied with them.

No wonder OP has been mention the fact of bounty program and mostly it was happend for the current bounties so before joining people have to realize the risk of it because lately the percentages of succesful bounties was very less compare to failed bounties but don't mean all of bounties have worst payment so i think this is about your own ability to find legit bounty program with promising payment and projects

Not all bounties have lucrative rewards in fact, most don't unless the project is very good quality or its pumped after launch at some early stage, then you might gain some benefits from it so just make sure you're in for the long haul if you want to do bounty hunting

Yes, not all bounties are beneficial, but if we want to hunt for new bounty, we still have to do research first, so we can know the benefits we can get in the long run, because now the average bounty is very difficult to we guess whether it is profitable or not.

That depends on how high you evaluate your free time. If receiving 10-20 dollars for doing weekly social media bounty tasks for 2-4months is profitable, then yes, "bounties are still profitable". Usually you get 2-3 times more if wearing signature. In overall, it is about 50 dollars for 2-4 month projects advertisement. Recalculate it to daily earning and will fully confirm or disprove statement that "Bounties are still Profitable"  :)

Either way, I will not consider either the two that you said "profitable" for me.

50$ for 2-4 months advertising isn't profitable for me. It would be better if you just spend your time doing another job than posting here (signature), sharing and tweeting (social media). Bounties at this moment aren't that profitable at all compare to what it is 2-3 years ago where bounty hunters are getting no less than 100$ in a single bounty campaign. I miss that part in bounty campaign though :D. When I saw that bounty campaign aren't that profitable anymore, I choose to find another campaign (bitcoin-paid) and I'm lucky to participate in one of them :).

I doubt that this can be called profit, because during the same time you can earn much more in any other field in the real world.
Therefore, the first thing you should study is those opportunities that surround you, perhaps you will find much more profitable options for earning outside the crypto market.

Research should be a must not just in bounty hunting but in all sorts of sources of income. We should do it basically particularly in bounty hunting wherein we need to promote the project from our own brilliant ideas. I can say that bounty hunting nowadays are not very profitable unlike before but the fact that there are still lot of people into it, it just means that they are still getting something from it.

Well I think number 1 and number 2 reason is ironic. How can bounty still be profitable if you dont get paid. Most of the bounties last for about three months or more, and if you dont get paid with that bounty, you have wasted that three months. Its true Im still bounty hunting, but Im not really expecting to profit like the old days.

True, they pay but that token is locked. And wait long time again to received rewards. But, the token price is still dump before the token is unlocked. So, this is not worth of Bounty Hunters.
Another fact, the project didn't pay full to Bounty Hunters. They divide the payment in 1-2 years. Example, you get 1200 token and this is divide 12 Month. So, you only get 120 token every month.

The truth is that many projects won't pay to their bounty hunters, and many of them will fail because many are just trying to test their ideas, nothing can give you guarantees about becoming a successful bounty program, new bounty supporters need to experience themselves in order to learn, that is the best way to learn in many cases until you lose time and some money then people learn lessons.

In this case I dont think its necessary to experience failing before learning a lesson, you can avoid such scam projects if you make a research on how to spot it. The problem is even we did our best to be cautious on choosing where to participate still we are ending up in scam project. Its inevitable, sometimes it looks legit at first then it will change direction that makes hunters disappointed.

He was choosing the bad bounties. The bounties are still profitable when you are asking another person who has joined legit bounty. Im also never try to put a big expectation from the result of the bounty. In this case, we must also care about what kind of project we have already prompted it. At least that will give us the more chance.

Yes, you are right. based on my experience since it was bearish in 2018, some of the bounties that I participated in have not been listed yet and cannot be withdrawn. but I'm always sure someday, though not today. and the reason I'm still following the bounty is that I still believe in possibilities. which is the possibility that I will find diamonds among the bounties here and can get a big profit.

keep up the spirit guys

you're right, I also feel the same way. however, when the bounty pays and has the price it is still profitable. it makes me still do the bounty until now. I think many are hoping that the bounty will be paid again, even the coins that have been long been expected to develop, I saw that on the telegram.

if not paid I have never found a bounty like that but for a bounty that has no price that I often find. for now I don't really expect a bounty because of the long time and now many are not clear, I would prefer to airdrop more easily

definitely yes, there is  a lot of company of bounties here,but you must determined whether it is good source or not for irresistible,you  should do it even more difficulties to earn,bounties are still profitable ,to promote this bounty hunting, our mining time should be doubled..

Right. indeed in the hunt for prizes both beginners and have long not necessarily get a large profit. Moreover, many projects are sometimes good at the beginning but ultimately fail. therefore if we as prize hunters, must remain enthusiastic and consistent in working and seeing prospects for a project that we want to join.

the principle is the same as treasure or you bet on the project, the more projects that you do not guarantee also that your project will succeed, and vice versa if you do research and see the project is really good also does not guarantee, so the chances are 50:50.

@fuee44 I’m surprised you’re yet chasing bounty campaigns as I feel those bounty campaigns will never pay us, also I really liked your optimism of holding on to your bounty coins even though they’re yet not listed. @Dr.Osh which coins are you talking about, and what exactly did you read on telegram can you be more specific.

How we sure bounty still profitable if they don't pay?. This is hard situation for bounty hunter and I'm sure will keep running until halving because it will giving new price, volume and direction about bitcoin. We need solution, so far only bounty with btc payment at services section is the answer but I think it will end soon. Just take bounty that already list coin on exchanges, that's what I do today.

Perhaps this is the most common problem in bounties, because investors are not very interested in joining because the team cannot convince them. and most of the teams that formed also experienced problems and were already known.


beneficial understanding for some followers of bounties is to have to get a value that can satisfy. but it is not fair because each project will be different and provide a look at the project's natural conditions. actually as a bounty there is no loss, because if it is paid is a profit because it does not cost anything.


can be paid one or two of what is followed is a benefit that must be grateful for the followers of the bounty, because it is a gift that can be obtained and all no one can be satisfied if measuring yourself with the lives of others.

Obviously most of the bounties will fail, but that does not mean you can't money doing bounty anymore.
What I understand is that you need to dig deeper in finding an information before you join a certain bounty, that way you'll be able to join on projects that will most likely succeed, and of course you can expect bounty from it.

The formula is very simple... join on successful project, get your reward then sell. the only hard task is to find a successful project.

True, in promoting a bounty project, hunters clearly need to have more time, because without any free time, it will be difficult for a hunter to do, so in this case what is really needed is good time management in making bounty promotions and mining other.

This is real before but now even you joined very legit and best project the reward is not just lucrative as before like on my experience last 2017 in 3 months in signature campaign I earned almost thousands but that kind of rewards are gone now even the best project we saw today can only pay you a maximum of $500 working in 3-4 months in a bounty signature campaign really unfortunate. 

Except for some projects that pay us directly in bitcoin, most other bounty projects will bring the opposite, from the invalid tokens then the projects that do not pay a reward to the participants, even a lot of bad situations can create frustration for us but after all, exactly as you said, these difficulties and problems are just challenges, we can't let it prevent us from continuing to make money from bounty. Bounty can still bring us significant income as long as we participate in successful projects and in order to succeed, the selection process is meticulous

the fact that bounty is now no different from gambling, the main success factor of bounties is not just research and experience, but luck is the main factor.
so do it happily so as not to cause great disappointment if the project fails or becomes a scam.

Honestly, if you have the experience to analyze projects, you will surely find good bounty to join. Luckily it only works for newbies in this market, I have been in this market for many years and I can see which projects are good and which ones are scams with just a few checks.

After all the researches it will depends on how lucky you are, bounties aren't nothing but a gambling Haven now, many projects will keep failing and few will be successful, I hope we keep seeing bounties that are listed and trading like emirex bounty

It does hurt facts about bounties, but we do have to admit that most bounties don't pay. And we must be ready with these risks,
work for several months and not paid. Do not complain if you experience this, because in our beginning promoting bounties is
certainly no guarantee of pay. I, as a bounty hunter, is used to experiencing all of that. There is no other ways besides being patient.
And the another fact bounties are still profitable is also true, because of all the bounties  that I follow at a minimum there are 1-2
projects whose results are unexpected. We get paid quite large, therefore there is still  hope we should not be a weak person.

I do not think that this depends on luck. Now it all depends on the patience of the bounty hunters and on how they know how to analyze the projects in which they participate. Now many bounty hunters receive good rewards for the bounty campaigns that took place in 2018. so you need to be able to wait

If you ask me, there are far better things to do apart from participating in the bounties. If you are that much determined to get some cryptocurrency in your wallets, then you can do freelancing and convert the fiat earnings to crypto using any of the exchanges. But my first advice to all the newbie and junior members would be to get some merit to your name, so that you will become eligible to take part in the signature campaigns that make the payment in Bitcoin. Having patience is very necessary for this.

Since more than a year, we are getting impacted due to scam projects. Now since we follow some rules to select bounties, the percentage has been reduced drastically.
But a new thing has come up which is hampering payment to our hard work it is that projects are failing to raise enough funds to continue their development.
Still, being optimistic, we should continue our work. Even not today but someday, we will get huge benefits out of it.

Scam projects only decreased because investors are smart and learned from their mistakes, even newbies knows about scam projects now which is a good thing, scam projects are now striving to earn money with their dubious act and they've grown tired of it already

Bounties will only be profitable for those who don't give up, many bounties are crap to begin with but if you rely on your research skill and also try out different set of projects one will eventually become successful

One should be very creative and smart to earn anything valuable here now, the conditions are much worse than they were in 2017-18. But if you know something or able to do something extraordinary for promotion of the project, you'll definitely earn well here.

bounties and airdrop maybe more correct, if do all task in campaign i am sure we will find one of them that be best campaign ever. many new projects in market that provide allocation for bounty or airdrop hunter, and if we keep our spirit and fighting to find it i am sure someday our work will get worth reward.

It is essential that we have quality projects before we want to do something to make money. Bounty is not the same as before because there are so few successful projects, this year I am sure bounty will be harder than 2019 because investors have rejected all new projects because they are afraid of it will become a scam

The bone of contention is that bounty hunting is profitable by chance. One can only take due care in selecting a project to join, but that does not guarantee that the bounty would be lucrative. It takes the grace of God for one to benefit maximally from a bounty. I was disappointed last year when the bounty I refused to participate on became the best paying. Atimes, it's best to do something in all the project you come in contact with. You never can tell which project would pay for the others losses.
