Bitcoin Forum

Bounties is all about luck this days, staying away from scam projects is another topic but I'm here to clarify that listed bounties don't have anything to do with payouts every time, meaning that just because a bounty project is listed on exchange doesn't mean you will get paid, hunters can prove me wrong, few listed bounties already disappoints.

while you are busy looking for listed bounties make sure to check on none listed bounty projects too, remember that Cartesi was never listed and no one knew that they will list on binance.

Seeing a bounty is not only from whether he is already listed on the exchange, but seeing how good the project is. Even though there are currently many scam projects, it is possible for a good project to hold a bounty.

You are right mate. Ive been a bountt hunter for over a long period of time and future listing especially announced IEO is not fully a basis of potential bounty.

What I do know is this:  _{Based on my long experience}

Good hint of a project that is worth participating but not fullt guaranteed.

• Have a product, its working and its useful and not just some nonsense idea that is irrelevant on blockchain. (eg, Dogdata)
• Choose open source project and transparent, by means of this is have github where progress is visible and can be watch and observed.
• IEO listed, -major platform only such as Binance, Kucoin, Gate, Huobi)
• Team of developer, must be experienced and not just skilled on profile, there are lots of this on this crypto business.

Ive listed some on my thread but for the sake of criticism Im not saying its a 100% sure campaigns.

Safe Campaigns in the Altcoin sections to join. Dont waste your time with others (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0)

PS: ^{Im currently doing btc paid campaign but Im still active for potential campaign in the altcoin section}

You're right, though for those who are actually doing their own research before they get involved into any bounty will actually make the difference. Many don't understand what it takes to make right decision, having a project that's admitting to be listed after Bounty operations should be giving a second thought, as many have used this to get their scam projects done by Bounty hunters.

Practically, any project with a new or different use case in real life is worth participating, but for those with reinterpreted case use are likely to be scam projects. Seeing Cartesi as a project should tell anyone about their legitimacy and worth participating, because this project has been in existence since 2017 and grew through 2018, 2019 till 2020.

Yes, and what you said has been proven in the past, where the Bezop token was immediately listed on the stock exchange when the bounty was still running, but after everything was done the participants no one received payment until now, really very disappointing.

Bounties may somehow be about luck, but do you know that with good research strategy you will get into good Bounties.

You mentioned cartesi, i admit it takes a good researcher to see a gem in cartesi, and blockburn.

Buh while you get lucky ; get into trading Bounties too to earn little sometimes

There was zero known fact in determining if a bounty project would pay out their bounty hunters
But if I where to be a bounty hunter in altcoin or ICO, I would look out for listed projects more, why so? Because if a project is not listed even if they give you token in millions the wait for them to list is endless.

we never know what will happen in future with out bounty token, and cartesi be one of them. many bounty hunter thinking its not ordinary project but in fact suddenly cartesi list in binance . exchanges not guarantee we will received our bounty reward after campaign finish, but it will attract more bounty hunter to work on it. it just give new energy and spirit for hunter, but once again everything back to dev team it self.

To every decisions in Bounties, there are equal and negative reactions.

If you consider projects such as DigitalBits, bitagro etc, after listing, it was difficult to pay Bounty hunters, while some project dump the market after sending to Bounty hunters example is the moozicore bounty, ironx.

The best way is just to participate in reputable projects, i want to believe that cartesi on a platform like binance will not want to deny hunters reward??

A token being listed in an exchange doesn't guarantee payment. There are projects who locks bounty payment to protect investors, and they will keep delaying it to protect the price of the token. It is always the bounty hunters who are blamed. Also being listed doesn't necessarily mean you can earn something, you should consider the market volume or if there is a demand for the project.

Yes, that's right, we only have to look at exchanges, because now too many exchanges are not suitable for use by everyone, except for large and trusted exchanges, and projects that register their tokens on small exchanges are clearly not will be good to follow.

I have moved from doing bounties which are not listed to ETH or BTC bounties. But what I realized was that, these bounties just give only small amount of money. There are some that are not listed but the project will turn out to be successful and the coin will be listed.

Your point of view is reasonable. I think it's necessary for bounty participants to create a strong mindset before participating in any bounty and they mustn't keep too much expectations with any bounty in their mindset so it will be helpful to make a capable mindset to accept the truth if results won't be in favour.

The crypto space itself is unpredictable talk more of bounty. There are many trading bounty projects which paid at the same there are other which didn't, in the same way there none trading bounties which paid and there are some which didn't. The reason why It looks as if many hunters prefers trading bounty projects is that, the rate of it paying is higher than none trading bounties, many none trading bounties are yet to list till date let alone paying while some have already exited scam. In my own case, I prefer trading bounty projects because it gives you an idea of what to expect while taking the nature of the project and listed exchanges into consideration.

I think its better to promote a project that long time ago listed in exchange and they paid weekly in bounties . Like this one [OPEN] wayki chain ambassador request signature campaign - miss 7 full members  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242265.0) they paid their own coins but unlike other campaign they paid it in weekly basis.

Or campaign like this   [BOUNTY] GOLD Stablecoin – $200,000 - payouts in BTC, ETH, GOLD  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164058.0)

or this  BULLS.BET | Signature Campaign |Sr - Hero/Legendary (Payment in ETH) (Finished)  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240347.0)

the only problem i see in bounty participation  is members want to get paid high rewards for participating which is actually  not happening every time they promote a project.

We never know which bounties will receive high pay or at least be listed on a large exchange like Binance, but we have to look at the quality of the project where they always work hard to do the best for their products so that the community trusts them more because they like it .
If only promoting without doing research then I think it will be in vain because most projects now end up with scams as well as bounties.

In my opinion, the bounties managed by "Bounty Detective" will succeed because they are able to choose quality projects with good development.

Thats true mate, thats why everyone must take the time to check some of the vital information about the project which is running a bounty campaign. spend some time reading the project whitepaper, team composition, roadmap, etc in that case you can narrow your choices on the prospective bounties that you want to promote. The Cartesi project is a promising kind, I read and examine their whitepaper and I saw how detailed and complete it was, Cartesi was using Linux OS thats why it's unique thats why I joined there a bounty campaign because its a bright prospect.  

It doesn't matter either a project is listed or not, I joined Cartesi bounty because I can see how good the project use case is, what is most important is the quality of a project use case and the seriousness of the team

I stopped joining altcoin campaign since most projects are either scam or end up being left out by the team. Even IEO is not a guarantee that a project will be successful or not since investors and the team share the same goal that is to earn. No body focuses on the service and the product that is why most projects fail. As a bounty hunter do not join a campaign just because it is listed, this doesn't change anything, platforms can be paid to list a project even if it is a scam or not as long as they have the money to pay for listing.

Very few projects are like cartesi, and they are very special. When I saw them in late 2019, I knew they were a big project in 2020 because they have a great dev team and lots of investment companies. I know they will implement IEO at major exchanges in this market and it is only a matter of time

There is hope, do not worry about scam projects, all you need is do is research and yes it's better to join bounties that aren't listed yet, if I can remember correctly they pay better rewards than listed/trading bounties

I'm less concerned if the token is listed or not, there are many projects from 2019 that paid bounty hunters and they aren't listed before the bounty started, listed or not doesn't matter

I'm learning to advance my bounty skills I only promoted listed campaigns in the past but these campaigns are over. I will suggest we promote listed and non listed projects with great potentials.

Well I do not blame hunters that purely go for listed projects,I believe they have done so much projects which never got listed, but then that shouldn't be a measure to know if a project is good or not,even if it's not listed, check out for necessary featires the project should have to be successful,then you can do it and wait for it's listing,cartesi is an example.

I agree with the thread starter the value in majority of bounty projects is missing, i mean if a project has ico value of $1 per token and a bounty hunter earns 1000 tokens after the campaign ends, he is expecting a reward of $1000, but after distribution and listing on exchange, this process also take from few weeks to few months time, the hunter comes to know that his reward token is trading even below 1 cent, so his expected salary was 1k while it turned out to be less than 10 bucks in reality and this situation is very disappointing.

That's true.
A tradable bounty campaign is no guarantee that you will get a large profit. Especially if the volume is very small, it's only false hope. We can not really know what will happen in the future, many have experienced this, the campaign which was previously considered not promising turned out to give a big profit one day.
An analysis is indeed necessary, but do not expect too high, it could be that luck is not on your side. Just do the work as a bounty hunter calmly, don't be greedy. Use the opportunity as you can, however, the quality is more important than quantity.

Not every listed bounty is good, for example, I can mention the scam Hitmex bounty and another shit Ridenode bounty! The same, not every new project will go to Binance IEO! So, the bounty is a bit of luck nowadays! Many good bounties paid a tiny amount of money to the hunters and scam accused bounties like the HEX and ZEUX paid thousands of USD to most of the bounty hunters! But yet you have to keep researching reputed project! Cartesi looked good from the first day of it launches! So, a better step is to do every average to good quality bounties and ignore all the shits like Hitmex, Ridenode, and other most of P2PB2B listed bounties!

I agree with your statement. Actually it's new trick to provoking hunters. I saw some projects listed on low quality exchange and spread their advertisement like they listed on Binance so join for big payment. That's bullshit. Even they use CoinmarketCap as a trap now days. Cause it's not a hard work to get listed CMC now days. You give them fee they will listed on their website doesn't matter your coin listed on any exchange or not. See this Example 1 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/buschcoin/) and Example 2 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vita/). People should aware about those things. Listed on CMC or non reputed exchange never carry a good project. So double check before you join this kinda bounty project.

Since the turn of 2017, the bounty industry has been more of a chance game. Several projects listed and non listed have disappointed by not paying hunters or generally not living up to the hype. However, non listed bounties have outperformed the listed ones. I can sight a few reasons for this. Listed bounties tend to attract a lot of participants leading to fewer rewards per individual which ultimately becomes worthless. Listed bounties also tend to be stricter and award way too little in terms of bounty allocation compared to non listed bounties. Also, listed bounties tend to delay payments for fear of price dumping compared to non listed bounties. The truth is, one has to find and maintain a balance between what works and what doesn't and hope they hit the jackpot with a good bounty.

You are very right in this. Infact while listed bounties often find it difficult to pay their hunters, non-listed projects guarantee payments. I think it's high time bounty hunters also concentrate on non listed bounties as well. These projects also do well.

Most important with bounty coin project is sell soon as possible after listing on exchange market and never give chance for holding long time because you can miss opportunity to get much money with your bounty coin reward, I found many bounties coin reward become shit coin after success listing on market just few week later.

Some of those who want or wish to sell their bounty rewards early might prefer to participate in already listed bounty because they feel they can sell immediately they are paid.
Sometimes, we also need to look at the change on which such token or coin is listed because it might be a shitty exchnage that will make the price to fall further and at the end, you are left with almost nothing.
Whether listed or not, my point of attraction for any project is quite very different. Along the line, if I am convinced about where it is listed, I might decide to go for it.

It's a matter of how good we are in our decision making especially in choosing and finding the right projects to support on. At first, I am having a hard time in looking for a trusted one either they are a listed or none listed project because the project number increases as days passes by.

And one mistake will cost you a lot of time and effort in exchange of shit currencies or worst without receiving anything from the project owner. You are right that not all the project that are listed have a potential to become successful so the best option to do is to find the right project to support so we can assure that our hard work will be paid.

Listed bounty just try to make sure if you will get more guarantee for the bounty to be a successful bounty. Cartesi has a very strong idea and I have been predicted if that will be listed on a good exchange site.

You must remember not all lf listed bounties are good and you must identify and try to filter based on where the token is trading right now.

What I understand so far is that already losted bounties prpjects are totally fake and they just want some hype to sell their shit. On the other hand, when hunter gets paid, the price becomes too low to sell even. So, no matter a project is listed or not, it is always better to do enough research before joining.

This is what I do if Im joined some campaign in the altcoin. If you stay it on your wallet for a long time, you will just experience loss, most of the altcoin campaign that are new never retains their ICO/IEO price, so If I were you I will dump those tokens before it totally go down. There are some cases that it will increase its value but that are rare cases. Only few going up but majority goes the other way and sometime got delisted or becomes a dead project.

If you want to have a good campaign, then join a btc paid campaign and make some good btc profits than some altcoin that are not sure if going to paid off.

If in doubt it is better to immediately sell it and the money you get from the bounty can be invested in a more trustworthy project, my intention is to invest in altcoin that has potential and is already listed on coin marketcap. I also regret when holding tokens for too long, in the end they became shitcoin and there was no price. Now I can only hope that the rest of the tokens that I hold can make a profit.

The problem is, non trading bounties takes decades to get listed sometimes, they are full of delays here and there but if you can have patience and wait sometimes they end up Worthing the waits

Correct, doing deeper research is far better than leaning with those campaign who attract bounty hunters to join and participate there's still no assurance that you'll be getting paid, or of you'll receive payments the value was doomed. Take time to dig deeper with the intention of the team and if the project will be usable in the long run  so you'll not going to waste your time.

Yeah, you're on point, good paying bounties nowadays are somehow had to come by.  But it's not totally about luck getting good bounties, it's more of a function of proper findings to get one.  Hunters tend to believe in bounties already listed or IEO confirmed on big exchanges, some might disappoint truly but percentage is very low compared to those just coming in fresh.

The quality of the bounty project is most important, I don't care if the project is trading or not, and this won't have a difference in reward, it's better to choose bounties with quality and your reward will be better

It's like a box of chocolate you never know what you are going to get,, some projects that you think are good turn out to be real bad and some projects that we think will not deliver is actually delivering, this is one of the reason why bounty hunters opted for quantity, they are trying their luck on the number of projects that they are in.

I like trading bounties more because you can easily sell after bounty is over and you will know how much you will get before bounty ends, as for non listed tokens they aren't bad either, just dyor

Both sides are better, we bounty hunters only cares about rewards, we hardly keep bounty tokens, better do Research on bounties first before making decisions on them, listed or not shouldn't be your first aim

There are certainly lots of factors that affect bounty payments - but the thing to look on it is the project itself. If it can bring a great thing in the cryptocurrency world, then it might be a worthy project in the future. So check the whitepaper if they can be successful and if you are certain that they are, then try to participate.

Why do you say that tokens that are not registered are not bad either? I want to know about the badness of tokens that have not been registered on that exchange yet? because I have lots of tokens from bounty results that haven't been registered so far, and all of them are of no value, is that what's called bad?

seriously  ? no one knows they will list on binance  ?  thats odd . afaik projects always gives announcement and sometimes poll if where to list the coin but maybe this one is unique that they give a twist different from the old way of listing the coin  .

 still op didnt knew that listed coins have a high chance of success that those who arent listed  .  i remember i join many projects on the past but most of them dont get listed though i recieved the coin  . still useless   .

Definitely listed projects are big deal for bounty hunters, in listed projects existing positivity from non listed projects. You know in these year no more project we are found likes CARTESI project. But this one created huge values by their worked and products before Binance listing, from the first time i was convinced to see teams hard work and progress.        

Few listed bounties have disappoint me so to me they aren't always got cake like many think they are, quality should be our aims not trading for pennies

Cartesi project is legit to me since "bubbalex" presentwd cartesi website before bounty. In few weeks "bubbalex" looked for new joining, I knew this project will paid to bounty hunters. Distribution only depends on devs satisfaction. Find out several point devs can easily ignore bounty payment.

I always have this philosophy of going all in , in whatever I believe in. If you're into bounty hurting and truely you're interested in risking all your time and effort into promoting a project that its chances of succeeding isn't assured then  why go promote coins that are trading on exchanges that is hardly known and probably you'll get paid peanut for those promotion than risking it all in to promote project that'll give you an opportunity to earn big assuming it get listed successful after completing its sales process/bounty.

Before the success of its IEO and listing on Binance, cartesi had the attributes of a promising project and assuming I wasn't occupied with my signature, I would had participated in its bounty campaign.

The majority of projects are holding Bounty campaigns are not yet listed on any Exchanges, so you need to make your own research whether to participate in it or not.

Sometimes not all bounties that are going top exchanges will announce before the bounty starts, no one knew Cartesi will go binance right? The only project that says it's going Okex this year are Olportal and Alchemy

Most of the times, listed bounty projects are worst than non listed because in listed projects, you will work in the hope that coin has a goof price while after the bounty you will see that the price is 90% lower of the initial. Because project owner used you to hype the project and sell their coin. I remember I had participated in one project in 2018. it was profish may be. I got nothing to be honest.

I prefer to join projects that have been listed on an exchange rather than those that haven't because I can get money shortly after the campaign has ended, I don't care what nominal I get.

Compared to having to wait for three months or even more just to be listed on an exchange.

Make your own research and choose wisely, listed or not is not a good choice, let the quality and use case of the project be your choice instead, the biggest money I made from bounty comes from a project that was listed on a low exchange

Last day received payment from bounty campaign but I don't know when market listed because until ICO and IEO ended still not update good news when coin listed on exchange market, how ever without have planning listed on market will make many investors and bounty participants look disappointed with their coin rewards.

I also thinking like you, it's much safer to choose the bounty listed at the exchanges. Certainly we will receive money from them and can sell at the exchange, although the budget of these bounty is very low, but I will still choose it. I was so tired of new projects not listed at the exchanges, most of them are scams and we are wasting time with it.

It seems so because when I saw Cartesi's bounty, it was very unlikely that he would list on the launchpad like binance, whereas previously I only registered cartesi on the mainstream launchpad as many IEO projects did bounty but no, there was just a little bad luck with the bounty because of the schedule distribution is done using a batch system and it is also very long as I recall 180 days after the token was traded on binance.

Cartesi team are trying to make sure that the token won't dump because of bounty hunters but normally Cartesi bounty allocation was small, its bad that promoters are put in this situation, I wonder what will happen if Bitcoin value drops more

I think that if you have a lot of experience in implementing bounty campaigns on this forum then you will choose good quality projects. Another important thing, you should find other bounty hunters to form a team. Obviously, many people seeking and analyzing together will find better projects than those working alone.

It was the time where yobit is doing a campaign in the forum and most of the users who joined the altcoins campaign are joining yobit as well. Many of the bounty hunters also do not trust campaigns paying tokens already due to the number of scams happening in the altcoin section. From a not paying bounty hunters to scam teams.  I have noticed Cartesi and I could have joined if I weren't just in the Yobit campaign.

Trading bounties have disadvantages too
1. After bounty ends team might extend payout time
2. Price might drop drastically
3. Listed exchange might have low volume
4. Sometimes you might never get paid

It also depends on our intelligence in implementing the bounty campaign in this forum, because there are also many successful people who work alone on good quality projects, because the bounty campaign also has an allocation limit for hunters, so it's not always working together that's a good thing.

From Q2 2018- to Q2 2019 time was for lucky person whom did good work. Ok, I accept that cartesi is good project but this project paid very low reward even after huge pump in Binance. But still Cartesi doesn't good move in this season.

yes who would have thought a project managed by Bubalex would be listing in a large market like binance.
no one knows but as far as I know the bubalex manager is a good manager and chooses the project he will promote whether it looks like a project scam or not so he has filtered it first.
for payment indeed no one knows for sure how much they will get because they can only estimate the price that is not entirely accurate.

I agree, a project listed on the transaction does not mean that it is a good bonus. There are many projects listed on the deals but still scam bounty hunters.
Coinhe is an example, their coin is listed on their own platform but they still scam bounty hunters and steal their money.

honestly I still choose listed bounty because this seems to guarantee that even though the price goes down we can predict it and be thankful that if we don't use the stake system, the estimated reward we get is very knowable.

No matter what they do, I believe that prices will fall in the future. Cartesi prices are now more than 5 times higher than IEO prices, so prices are likely to correct and gradually decline in the coming months. And until the bounty hunters get the token, I believe the price will return to the IEO price

Yes, and all the points that you say have indeed happened to trade bounties, but not all of them are like that, only for unqualified bounties that happen like that, because what you say also may still occur otherwise.

Listed or not listed is not matter. Make deep research and choose a quality based project. I have seen Most of listed bounties budget a small pool for participants. But It's true listed bounty have no risk for scam or failed. But their reward is too low.

Yeah just because a project already list on exchange those not give a 100% guarantee but it still guarantee on the basis that the project already made the approach of getting listed, whether you will get paid or not is entirely up to the team, there are project who not listed on any exchange yet you don't get paid,
And I don't see the point of making so much reference to cartesi, it is not the first bounty project to be listed on Binance, neither is it the most profitable bounty, yes they manage to list on Binance but it is still not a yardstick to measure bounty authentic nature.

Plus see the time frame to pay the bounty reward, who knows by then what will become of price.

You are absolutely right! Everyone likes listed bounty as we can endure about selling our bounty payments, but all the listed bounty reward is too much low! When not listed bounty always offers a better allocation. If you able to pick the better project then yes, listed or not listed doesn't matter!

If you want to participate in a bounty campaign, do so with an open mind that you may or may not get rewarded for your efforts. It's not about if the bounty is trading or not. It's about how successful the project is and how trustworthy the Devs are to staying true to their word to pay.

That's right, especially if the token or coin project is traded on shitexchange. Low volume, thin buy orders, making it easy to dump if attacked by bounty hunters. Another story if the project tokens or coins are traded on a good exchange, with high volume, will definitely provide a better profit. Despite the dump, it can recover soon because market confidence has formed. Unfortunately, the fourth point often occurs when prices are already good. Be patient.

The last option is always possible, I have seen delisting news after years of trading. The exit scam has several ways to accomplish but the forcing exchange management for delisting the token was the first time I have experienced.
Listed exchange should be in the top 20, otherwise, the volume will be like the flat line of a dead altcoin.

Anything would really be a gamble or does need some sort of luck when you are dealing with bounty hunting.You wouldnt know if a certain project would really gain value over time or just good on initial phase and dies on mid way and leaving its investors and bounty hunters on the air where do end up on holding a shitcoin.I dont know why there are still people whom do consider this stuff in spite of the unprofitability.
ICO and IEO is already a non worthy thing to be engage on.

Even though the bounty project is already listed in the market, it is not certain that the payment can be done quickly after the bounty ends, because sometimes there are projects that delay payment of the bounties so the price decreases and little is obtained when the tokens are distributed

Some devs are truly accomplished to their words and sometimes they announce it with different websites. It's all about how will you manage to do your own job researching if the project is good. I suggest joining campaign which totally related to blockchain and have value even in downtrend. Listed in top crypto exchange totally helps the to boost their project.
Now it's not matter how high the bounty is but how true the project is. 

Actually its hard to perceive this. Cartesi has a serious team when they even launched their campaign. Theybdont even announced any form of listing or any hype event during their promotion, negotiation and the time frame for their announcement on Binance is very effective when the time has come.

There are some also that are listed on exchange or will conduct IEO but that is not enough to say the project will become succesful too. I see that campaign HackenAi and they failed on their launchpad but already started trading and now the price dump so hard. So this mean a loss already on some bounty hunters. See how unpredictable those times of choosing there are factors and this is hard to determined bare hand.

I would still prefer those bounties are got listed in exchanges will their bounty are running, because they might need some addtional promotions to get their token noticed by possible investors plus it is a huge factor that the tokens have already been listed meaning investors won't hesitate or invest unlike in those projects that are still trying to raise funds. But there still some bounty projects that are good enough even without getting listed in any exchanges during their bounty campaign. Cartesi had announced that they planned to get listed in binance though that's why the hyped was there.

In fact, many of us always want tokens that we get from Bounty, we can trade on the Exchange, each participant always asks about Exchange on their Telegram Channel. This is proof that being able to trade on the Exchange is Bounty Hunter's top priority.

Forex is a bad idea, many lost huge money in forex, it's more like gambling to me, it's safer to invest in top altcoins than gambling on forex platforms, most I know are even scam, no real forex brokers out there

Many projects only manages to get listed on top exchanges and that's it, they relax after that, to keep coin value alive and growing on top exchanges the team must keep working hard, there is assurance that volatility will happen but just in time price will find good bottom or surge

I am not fan of forex but some of my friends are fortunate on trading forex now they have a really big house and many cars. I know that forex is not good for some but for experienced people I think this is normal. The only thing happened when you lose on forex because of your lack of experience and let just say luck and charisma. Crypto trading is not totally different from it so I think there is more than just a loss. Sorry for your loss on forex trading, its dangerous and should have at least a broader experience in order to gain some profits.

Dude, if this token has no value and i believe even the hunters didn't even wanna get that,People wanna get their tokens from the bounty caused by there was a value on the token. They can exchange it into the another coin like bitcoin or ethereum. Value is the main reason in this case.

Bounty is sometimes surprising, when many people predict a project will sell well and the price will rise, but what happens is that the project is not able to produce products and also the price continues to fall.

even the project could end up being scam and there is already a lot of evidence of such a project, some time ago bcnex discussed will be a very great platform but now it's a scam

bounty today is like rain during a long drought, which we do not know how and what will happen in the future.
there is no harm in following the bounty that has been registered as long as the bounty manager who handles the project already has more trust from the forum, each manager also has responsibility for the projects he is working on.

I agree with you,  the unpredictable nature of this market lingers to even the laest root and that's bounty hunting and airdrop. We've seen such a project that got underated by everyone list on good exchanges and turns out to be hit whereas the projects with hype do turn to be one shii or the other for various reasons such as, the often refuse to pay hunters and keep on postponing the payment schedule and secondly, they might end up listing on exchanges with no liquidity and token will dump to the extent it might worth nothing to write home about when you sell off

Actually it's tough to earn much payment from trading bounty projects. Cause maximum (around 98%) trading bounty projects reward are too small and against that reward many people join that projects because it doesn't matter how much they earn from it they are make sure that they are gonna pay this time. There is no hesitate work for payment for this kinda projects. That's why lots of bounty hunters join trading bounty projects. But in my experience end of the day trading bounty projects always make me disappointed (not all but maximum).

It's much risk for payment if you join none trading projects. Cause now days it's rare to see a good project which had bounty program. But if you have some luck and you worked a good project then you'll get much reward that you think. Actually yes now days it's depend on luck for bounty.

We have lived these stages while manager keep refusing the payment details of bounty distribution. The end is always same for the dead tokens, there is no liquidity for the new tokens and investors dump on all pumps. Bounty hunters also wait for the momentum to sell their remain balance which they received from bounty campaign.

I've been into bounty hunting for quite some time in my early days here alongside with learning some basics of crypto and I've experienced this kind of things when it comes to bounty hunting. There are some bounties that I've joined where:
-they said that they will pay us after a month and in the end they didn't paid us.
-a projects is listed on exchange already but we hunters still didn't get our payment.
-they've paid us and the token is listed on an exchange. The problem is the exchange is shitty and very laggy so we can't sell our tokens. When the exchange is back to normal already, we will see the price of it plummeted already so in the end, we didn't get any profit on it.

If I'm not mistaken, they gathered many bucks in their token sale and this increases their reputation and in order to have people's trust they listed their token in Binance. Although they've listed on that exchange, IEO's on Binance and in other exchanges too tend to go down first and then it will be up for the investors if the price will go up again or not. I've seen some IEO tokens who go down and didn't went up to its original price since then.
