Ive just know that Bountyhive Platform is now working on again and have new campaigns. I am hunter that usually join this legit platform. Many hunters are complaining about the lack of campaigns that actually pay or legit. Now this popular platform is now back and many can join their campaigns again.

---

For 2 years bountyhive given me opportunity on their platform as a hunter. I made some blogs and join social and signature and only few of their project got becomes lifeless or scam one. At least the manager of this platform make sure that payment will be given to you. Now as a hunter what can you say about them back? Do you agree that some telling that this platform is scam? I want to hear your thoughts.

People say Bountyhive is a scam platform for various reasons. There is no spreadsheet, no info on how they work, how hunter's works been validated, no one knows about that! Not 1 or 2, many projects from Bountyhive scammed badly! That's why people left this platform and after many days they are getting new projects where most of the looks shit to me. Only Reckoon looks okay, however, I gave up on this platform and I have no intention to go back!

There are a lot of problems with that, but most of the projects pay, I have participated in several projects there, and have been paid quite well. however, now they are starting to try to open several more projects, and it seems they are starting to pick and choose projects based on their authenticity. Well, I'm waiting for a good thing to happen to the bountyhive

I think no matter what platform it is if the project is a scam they couldn't do anything.
No matter how good the platform is or the manager is we should also do our own work to check if the project is real or scam.

They assured their users that there were no bots on their platform, however after each bounty distribution, hundred of addresses have been resending tokens to a few specific addresses which were already credited with ETH from the same address. Most of these bots have been used in Telegram bounties and airdrops. Spent a few minutes to find some of them:

Bountyhive platform given a lot of legit bounties projects, i received tokens from several worth tokens, hunters complained because randomly same amount of coins sent in one address. Mangers is doing very professional, gains a lot experienced for managed big successful campaigns before launched bountyhive platform. Whatever after long time it's back now we expecting legit bounties.

It is difficult to assess whether they are scam or not when they run a lot of projects, it is inevitable to have some scam projects. I have participated in a number of bountyhive projects I have received payment for about half of the projects that I have participated in.

Bountyhives is only an expert in listing scam projects working for months for signature 15post/week, and after a long and tiring campaign the project will just fail. Except they review the projects been brought in, people won't be willing to join their campaign. I wasted my time running bountyhive campaigns.

i have never had the opportunity to use this platform back when it was active, although i have heard about it, but now that they are back and active with new campaigns again, i guess now hunters can stop complaining and start joining all the good campaign they have in their platform,
most important is to is to ensure the campaigns there are legit because this days it is very hard to find a legit bounty that is ready to pay hunters, most of them are fake or scammers.

Well, one can't totally say a platform is scam or good but that is also dependent on the manager of the bounty platform  to scrutinize projects before listing, that alone can make or Mar the platform.  I think early 2018 many project from bountyhive  was productive  but along the line, it seem they just list any kind of project not minding that most hunters efforts would be wasted though it is also necessary  for hunters to do research before investing  their time in a project so thet don't have anyone to blame if it goes wrong.

Bountyhivo is Good but they lack credibility. As a hunter, you are not allowed to view spreedsheet of your work and how it was supervised. participants has always suggested th idea of reviling how works are been marked but to no avail. in terms of quality projects, Bounty0x hold more quality projects than Bountyhivo. in terms of payments, bountyhivo is better. there are bounties in bountyhivo yet to pay hunters.
probably, the project Failed. 

Bountyhive did introduced some nice bounties in the past, I was just too dumb to see at that time, I can never forget good bounty from the platform and one of the most popular was pundix, presently three bounty projects are live on bountyhive but the team failed to still use spreadsheet and I'm not ready to risk that

I know the CEO of bountyhive, he was a very popular bounty manager and managed many big projects like PundiX, Dropil and so on! But last year Bountyhive lost the track and was likely dead. Their telegram group was locked for months, no good projects came on their platform. Actually, IEO is killing all the bounty platforms like Bountyhive, Bountyportal, Bountyminer and so on! I am glad that Bountyhive is active again, I got good rewards from their managed projects, I have both bad and good experience there!

The only problem I have with bountyhive is transparency. If you rejected then you are rejected. We should be able to see those that are accepted through the spreadsheet but no.I just hope they are back for good.

I was participated at bountyhive as bounty hunter and gain some good coins in the past, but i give up the bountyhive platform because they are did not reposes when some bounty campaign ends also, regarding the distributed of rewards to bounty hunters. but now they comes again with news bounty campaigns. so we have to wait and see what will bountyhive they do after bounty campaign ends this time.

It is not like they do not have scam project too but they are fairly better. Last year most of the project listed on the platform are horrible. Up till date many of them have not even distribute or get the token listed and bountyhive also introduced a time based rules for joining their campaign. Ones the time has passed, you will need to wait until the next time to be able to join. Transparency is another thing they lack and from what I've discover about them, I know they keep a lot of token meant for hungers for themselves.

Cool, and now tell me about the campaign that makes a sense. Currently the most active bounty managemer is AirdropDetective, but when you look at the quality, it´s so bad.
I mean, for me is not important who is managing the campaign because we already saw also many scammers among bounty managers, but more important is the project that is going to pay you, hoping.

It's good if the bountyhive is active again, I also like bountyhive to join social media campaigns because it's automatic and doesn't need any reports. But it would be better for bountyhive management to be more selective in accepting projects they will run bounties. Prioritizing quality over quantity. It is useless if there are many projects but they are not legit. Some of my fellow bounty hunter friends who are active in bountyhive also often say that their tokens can be worthless, which causes a lot of negative views, even though it is not entirely a bountyhive's fault. So to maintain its reputation, it's better to do a tighter selection.

For me, i think there is no problem at all with bountyhive being active again, the question is do they offer value ?
I have several bountyhive bounty tokens in my wallet that are totally useless and of no value, the likes of crowdforce, stem cell etc

Having tokens escrowed is not the joy of bounty hunters, earning from work done is the thing. So does bountyhive actually have a proper project looking for marketing ? i will figure out that myself.

You also, do your own research. and make your choices.

I'm personally one of the bounty hunters under Bountyhive platfrom. I've done some of translations, social media campaign, and signature campaign under their supervision and they really pay for what you've worked for. The only problem to them is that they don't provide a tracking sheet just like what other campaign mangers in this forum used to provide for the participants for ths sake of transparency. On the other hand if we'll rate them as a whole, for sure they would still get a positive feedback since they are providing their service automatically and professionally.

I was curious to know what happened when they hibernated for some time. Other hunters could have also felt the same way and some may have concluded within them, because their admins and maybe most of the team members left the platform. Well, it is good to see the platform back again. I just hope they continue to maintain the level of integrity with which we have known them for.
Also, this is a call for improvement. They should try as much as possible to make the process in their open and transparent.

I am not saying that they are doing anything suspicious, but that spreadsheet should be provided for each campaign, so that hunters can know the progress of their participation.

since the last time, so many ICOs have become scams, so they choose to hibernate. This does not only happen to bountyhive, but also happens to several projects handled by several trusted people. the reason is the same, namely to choose a project that has great potential, and is not a scam. however, until now I am also still trying to do in-depth research on projects in the bountyhive.

The questions is how they review every project before adding it in the websites.
We all know how hard it is to find a good bounty project how bounty hive can secured this things to all people who follow thier bounties.
If they accept payment to add in thier bounties and never review a project, it is the same as finding a project alone.

I understand. The process seems vague and very suspicious which one thing that let me think about it. But the fact that they offer more secure payment and finality is a good advantage than most campaign here. Transparency is important but later on I understand this no sheet thing they keep explaining about and for me its okay.

Transparent or not. Bountyhive introduced a system that is more of accurate than spreadsheet or stake type. Why? Data is been one of the useful info in bounty and they can utilize our work or performance through scoring points which is very innovative. Platform such as this have only once in an era.

They provided the sheet but only the focal info or those work done by the participants. I complained always when the tokens have been display and always got a response regarding tier. The system works likes an early bird system. The earlier the better though the rank is also a factor.

They offer good service and legit process within midst of project and hunter. There is a bit of responsibility when it comes to bounty hunting. Dont join if you thought the project is not worth it, they arent forcing anyone right. The point is they paid you, once it becomes a display on your wallet would you blame them? Its the project who doesnt progress. I did many bounty too. But not all are worthless. Maybe, Im just lucky enough to get those legit one and your unlucky with those youve joined with. What do you think? Is that the case?

Bounty platforms are not the owner of the project so we cannot say that they are scam as long as they are doing their job. It is our duty as a bounty hunter to check whether the project that were being handled by bountyhive is legit or not.

We cannot blame bountyhive if their are failed projects that they handled as they were being paid only to run the bounty promotion. We can accuse of them of scam if the project owner, already gave the bounty and bountyhive didn't distribute it to the bounty participants.

Don't be so exaggerated.   ;D Sure, they solved the problem of "volume" or the number of participants currently participating in a specific campaign which is usually a problem on a stake-based campaign.
But, their tier system can still be done by a regular campaign manager here and it even comes with transparency.
The only thing that differentiates BountyHive to a regular campaign manager here in this forum is the lack of transparency.
The reason BountyHive doesn't have the "spreadsheets" is that they are only checking all the entries of all the participants when the campaign ends, not on a weekly basis, thus removing the possibility of having something to show of (such as a spreadsheet) to all the participants. (Based on what I've read here. (https://medium.com/bountyhive/how-does-bountyhive-work-8c2d5d5acff1))
Without transparency, bounty hunters are still not 100% safe from cheating.
The BountyHive team themselves could easily slip in a few hundred people on the bounty list and keep the rewards for themselves.  :D
And let's not forget the countless bots and multiple fake accounts that could easily join their campaigns.  ::) (This guy found some is just a few minutes of searching (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226364.msg53856357#msg53856357)) LMAO
Bounty hunters are left without any clue if they received the proper amount of bounty rewards for their weeks/months of work or it was way too short. No means of validation since there is no transparency.

BTW, From what I can remember, BountySuite, another bounty platform (not sure if it is still working or not), have transparent spreadsheets. So why can't BountyHive make this a possibility? Hmmm.

I cant argue with this cause I did complained also before why the system is like this. But its never too late for a change policy which I always suggest to them and somehow I think they are considering.


I'm not exaggerating. Just a sheer fact, name platform or even a manager can do a tier system working on database files aside from them? If any campaign manager can do then they should have done this with a sort mixed up of a little bit of transparency. Im talking about the system that they introduced. Stake based still okay but as the article goes they got some point though not all are entirely true.

I tried to trick it before. To see if they really checking weekly or not. There are some time that I did not post in a signature campaign. To my shock they mentioned the date that I didnt do any to check if they are really working cause there is no way to know aside from a stake based type. From there, at least I know they are doing their job though they may fu*k up sometime. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback but as a manager of course you cant deny that mistakes are often in some campaign. Maybe they just want to sort out this. Thanks again. Oh by the way, Julerz12 I wanted to ask have you joined their campaign even once? Im saying this such this cause Im a regular hunter on their platform.

Currently, I can't think of any, but I certainly can do something similar as to what they're are implementing, I might even do it in the next campaigns I manage.  ;D

That's all good for you, but what about those who don't have the luxury of wasting points/rewards just for the sake of validating something?
For the sake of transparency, BountyHive could just release a public spreadsheet by the end of the campaign prior to distributing bounty rewards. This way, participants have means of validating their overall progress and even double-check the list if there are any mistakes/errors made by the BountyHive Team or if there are cheaters who got listed. But, they didn't. That alone raises suspicions and I don't understand why they even wanted their bounty hunters to be skeptical about how they work.  :D

Yes, mistakes and human-error are always there, which is why it is crucial to have a public spreadsheet. The bounty hunters themselves can act as the second line of validators.

As far as I can remember, No. Don't like the lack of transparency. I tried BountySuite before, just got tired of doing bounties and ended up not doing any tasks anymore.

I worked on so many projects on bountyhive but am sad to say that they supported scam projects like Stem Cells Innovation and many more than did not ever trade on exchanges and some projects did not even send out tokens like Refine Medium. What was their reason to just close their telegram channel? I stopped applying for new projects as I fear of not getting paid or getting another pair of shitcoins.

Is that so. Then I'm looking forward to join that campaign. Might give some plus point to that, tier type, plus transparency by julerz12.


I tried out to put a dot on that suspicion. Anyway, you have a point as a Manager. I never tried out to be one, so the more I know is the experience of a hunter which is why I can compare. By the way, they release a report of the bounty tallied at the end of campaign. Its not same with the sheet the typical manager doing but more of a data showing how they put up the result. It's same. It's just that they are not so transparent to show off some info maybe there are confidential stuff or thing.

I dont know. But this can be also same with how manager on btc paid count the required post right of the participants? There's no one complained how the managers on that part count or check the works of their participants. I guess its just depends on how skeptical people are.

I dont know why their close it. But knowing they are back I just get a feeling there will be more rooms for hunters to depend. Not all managers even here can provide you will all legit projects they are just working on the project campaign. I think judging a platform like that isnt a smart or matured move. It is the project got go on different direction, Im pretty sure if the hunters are not paid so they are as well. Campaign is risky too. Also no one force hunters to join the campaign of them. As always exercise caution with projects especially if its altcoin project.

Oh really? If it's truly back then that is a good news for those who love to do bounties outside this forum  . We all know how popular bountyhive before  .  Popular because of well picked bounties and many people have already benefited from them but from a small single mistake those people then claim that the platform was a scam ? How dare them  .  I'm one of those who don't believe that bountyhive was a scam even if I don't join their bounties anymore because I was already contented on the positive feedbacks that I've read from them before .

You cant stop people on having those kind of view towards the platform but actually they can still intervene when it comes to campaign payouts.Its quite understandable that they would get a small portion of it before it goes to the participant itself since theyve been using the platform then its understandable and about project legitimacy or success? The platform itself has nothing to do with that because all things will depend on the project owner itself.

Dont know if their comeback would still have that impact knowing that bounty hunting turns out to be a shit as of this year.Hopefully they do choose up or list projects
which do passes out their criteria, choose the best among the rest which will surely benefit out their hunters.

I dont join bounty hunting on that platform. But I have heard several complains and even good stories about them. I think the best you must do now is to weigh that platform and dont be confident when you join any bounty.

Like as if you are still testing the waters.

Then its good that Bountyhive is back again. I am indeed joining their campaign and to tell mostly here, some facts are right such as:

1. The computation of tokens using tier method still vague and unclear yet. Not stating some fud here, but there are some good point made.

2. Period of campaign. They have some long duration of work and the budget of tokens somehow not enough. For a limited participant platorm type this is good but they should always secure a good payouts.

3. Cant track clearly the work results. For signature I know stake based is common but I dont think works are comensurate with the tokens received sometime. As other members gaining too much and others are very few inspite of closeness of rank in campaign.


Some people dont like them as due to transparency. But I am participating when opportunity comes. I know the team will fix and arrange what is necesarry to provide transparency to their participants.

For hunters it means their come back a postive sign even also for me. Yeah, I am indeed joined in a btc paid campaign for now, but who knows until when this right. Altcoin campaigns are still an interesting promotional sideline especially having a good platform such as bountyhive. Youre right, hopefully this time, the platform will be strict on finding out good campaigns. But you know, this is business they can accept as long as they can get paid good too.

Yeah bounty campaign in altcoins has always have risk and that's inevitable to forsee. Ive been there than that. So thanks for the head's up. Im more worried to others who just joining without any parameters to weigh in before joining.

I had just gone through a surgery when I was accepted for SCI project and they forced me to do it even though I refused as I was on bed rest as they said they wouldn't offer me more projects if I didn't do it. I wasted 20 days translating it while being on leave and the project turned out to be scam. After that their other projects also turned out scam so I've lost trust in their platform.

Bountyhive is a pian in the ass because there is no way to track your work, maybe you missed a week or not you will never know and moreover bountyhive don't introduce good campaigns anymore, this forum is more better

Hello, did you applied for a translator on their platform? Why there's such a blackmail approach that they wouldn't offer more if you didn't  do it? Usually project translation comes with a first come basis right? Participants should apply to each and any upcoming bounty project if ever. If that's the case then they giving you privilege to be chosen for translation every time there's an open campaign for translation?


I think being honest to do your work is already a way to track if youre really doing it or not. Cause checking wise, Ive mentioned already they are checking daily and weekly. But the process is just confidential for users. I think almost every platform has its own weakness. Comparing a decade forum to a new platform? of course no doubt that this forum is better. You just babbling about how bad their platform was. Why not talk about their good features.

we have heard many things about Bountyhive,some are good and others are bad but for me?Bountyhive is one of the most successful and truthful Platform for Bounty Hunters back then.i have joined twice and i can say it is much better than others because the first campaign is Good while the second is not that good but yet profiting than scams.i hope they will have more successful campaign this reopening and also they must be cautious about each project to accept because for me?it is better to have few legit campaigns that More but scammy projects.

There is one thing that bountyhive managed to overcome, that's scam projects, I've never heard them promoting a scam project once, maybe I missed the news? I don't think so but as for me, I'm only into signature campaigns and bountyhive don't use spreadsheet if not I would be using the platform most time

I was a translator on their platform for years and I applied for this project SCI without knowing it was 17k words of WP to translate. It got confirmed after weeks and by that time I had a surgery done and told them I can't do it after which the reply was:


It is first come basis only but you once you apply and are chosen after a month or so, you cannot withdraw your application.

Bountyhive have few good bounties that interest me but unfortunately I can't join because I can't track spreadsheet myself, the only project I look up to is Reckoon for now, bountyhive is not a scam platform, they have paid many hunters since their existence

With the return of this bountyhive platform showed that the Bounty project would have improved more than yesterday-yesterday that many did not pay participants, so this is a new hope for me. I have no problem with bountyhive, so after a return bountyhive many who wish it would be better to its performance than already.

A pretty good platform for bounty hunters. I have also participated in quite a few projects on this platform. In general, there are also fraudulent projects but there are many successful ones. Hopefully the platform continues to list good projects for everyone.

They have a decent platform. Only those saying that bountyhive is a scam one is those probably got rejected since they are strict too on participants. It is well noted that not all of their project have some problem with liquidity, progress, and development. But remember that being a hunter that's one thing associated with the work right? Learn to accept it that not all can be succesful. Then why blame them? They just the one handling the process IMO. No need to pull the trigger on them instead the project you promoted.

I joined the https://bountyhive.io/browse/Buying  bounty last September 2018-January 2019 but unfortunately I did not receive any token from this bounty until now and some other bounty has no value until now, personally I did not recommend this website for bounty they said tokens are escrowed but why BUYING tokens still not distributed until now? I think its the responsibility of bountyhive admins to update participants regarding those projects. 

We cant expect a platform that doesn't have any flaws right? I did joined some bounty here such as Blink though I only sell my tokens for few bucks, at least I did moentized it and cant be comprehend as scam one.


That's a long campaign indeed. But bountyhive cannot distribute tokens that are already proven worthless IMO. Though the escrow tokens are there but yeah, still they should have paid it even there is no value to make their reputation much stronger.

Looking forward to give bountyhive a try soon since many good reviews about the platform is circulating around the internet, honestly I haven't heard of any bad reviews about the platform than the lack of spreadsheet to track your progress

That sucks, there must be exception so that anyone can leave if they want. I never have joined this platform before and have no idea how they works even.
I am out of Bounty for a long time; in fact I did it for a short time and always found it as waste of time. Does this platform make any changes?

Previously, Mainly in at the first of launch the bountyhive I have joined several projects. That time I received the token when the bounty goes to end.
But there is some problem I faced that many scam projects can easily run there bounty in bountyhive. Yes, it is right that they pay the hunters the useless token but they [projects] scammed people's lots of money. And directly/indirectly participants helping the project team to scam. From that time I have ignored them.

Another problem is one person can create lots of accounts there.  ;D

Bountyhive platform is far from a scam platform, way better than bounty0x and webounty platform, even without spreadsheet I still get comfortable with payout rewards and their bounty always have limited participants

It's something you can't prevent; no matter if project running their bounty with any platform or not. As long as bounty hunter promotes a project, they can easily reach the target. However, according to experiment, this bounty don't bring much of success for the project. I guess listing on ICO ratings sites are the best way to get investors. Bounty hunters help though but that's for raising very small amount.
