Bitcoin Forum

As a bounty hunter always expect failures sometimes

1. Just because a golden year occurred in the past doesn't mean we will witness such again, yes it's possible but better adapt to present condition.

2. Promoting two to three projects and waiting for your payment doesn't make sense, as a bounty Hunter the sky should be your limit, since we can't tell which project will pay or not I suggest continues hunting.

3. Listed bounties may not pay, it's still same risks as bounty projects that aren't listed on exchange yet, rewards may vary but who am I to tell? I'm not a great seer am I?

4. Scammers takes advantage of Cov-19 alot and many still fall victim upon all the warnings, now we only have few days left till next Bitcoin halving, few new scam projects will surface, keep your eyes sharply opened

Technically, we have to observe while participating with a bounties project although, more expenses and remain nothing. The best weapon during LOCKDOWN is positive thinking and powerful skills to overcome these global economic crises which are called as the new beginning in the middle, never heard this before this is very new in the history with many misery people feel from unjust acts to invisible human creation and despite, many people are hungry and empty but we must be steadfast at all times to overcome adversity
 to become stable.

2. I would say don't promote any project without fixed payment in BTC or ETH. Their shitcoin can never get you a good reward, even if sometimes you get, it doesn't worth the time you spend behind. Don't participate in every bounty, try to promote one or two.
3. It's another method of dumping dev wallet, we just need to find it. Most of the times, hunters get trash.

Where will you see bounties that pays BTC and ETH today when you aren't a full member to legendary member on this forum? This your advice is only good for high ranking members, as for those who are Jr member or member they are suck with new projects token only

It's also misleading to promote one or two bounty project, what If the two never give anything good or never paid at all? Quality projects this 2020 are more than two, the best advice is to always go for quality projects even if they are more than five

I used to have a period of depression when I worked a lot but had no salary for 3 months! Every project is a scam and I don't seem to have any money left until the end of 2019. But now there are a lot of great projects coming out and I think this is a good time to get back to work hard. power. Bitcoin halving is about to happen and we may get more money like we did in early 2018.

Waiting for a month for rewards distribution is acceptable but more than that, it seems to be hopeless and shouldn't be expected them will do the distribution. It really gives frustration when talking about the delays of bounty rewards, disappointment comes with and we can't blame the participants to whine. But first, we have to think the things like these and that is why we have to choose bounty that we feel legit and are willing to give what they have promise.

That's true but not as always as you said dude. I rarely participated in the bitcoin or ethereum bounty but i mostly participated in the token bounty and so far i rarely get a bad project.
As long as these newbies can try to learn how to identify a good bounty and he will get a decent payment from there.

If you are talking about 2019 I think you choosed wrong, many scam project came in 2019 but some projects still become successful and give bounty hunters good rewards, few like sessia, vite, Gowithmi , Tokoin, etc

2017 is gone and it ain't coming back, bounty hunters who witness that time and make profits in 2017 find it hard to cope with present condition but I entered this crypto world in 2018 when bear market kicked in, I don't plan on giving up, never going to happen

Never give us is a good mentality in crypto, things are very unpredictable here, sometimes the market will struggle and it could take longer, so having that kind of attitude will give you and energy to still be working with bounty.

Choosing the right bounty to participate is the main thing a bounty hunter should do, because if he trust the future of the project, he will hold because he fully understand the situation now and that he could only sell once the right time will come.

No, even for high ranking members that is not always the case, there are lots of good quality posters with higher rank in this forum that don't get the opportunity to campaign for btc paying project, not because they aren't good enough but because those campaigns are often limited to certain number of participants, the available spot get filled quickly,
and in most cases, they are in short supply compare to alts campaign that are surplus, everyone wants to be in those campaign but base on their limited nature, you just have to improvise with what is available.

I agree with your every bit of words, there will be no year like 2017 and the first half of 2018! Crypto may have bull run, Bitcoin may reach 20K USD, but a golden time in bounty hunting like 2017 is not possible! Who wants to earn money by doing bounties, they should do every average to good projects. Once I saw people did 100 bounties at the same time, they built a house, bought a car! But who was very selective, he couldn’t make that happen. Just ignore shit, scam projects, you have to earn knowledge to find that! Many exchange-listed projects are not paying, like Azbit, Digitalbits! Bounty hunting seems luck now, so hunters don't it wrong, do hard work! 

This is true mate, one should never give up in whatever one finds doing, especially when it comes to bounty hunting, waiting upon two or three that you have promoted to pay might not be fruitful,so lay your hands on as much as you can but then make sure to do some research before participating in any project

-Well said mate, everything can happen, no one can predict the future, yes there is good things happened last year but we can not assure that this will happen again because everything could change every season. As what our current situation right now, we cannot tell yet if there would be positive things thst will happen.
-That is what we should do as a bounty hunter, do not keep inside the box, if we will only wait for our payment we won't improve, it is still be better if we do more while waiting for our payment because it will give more experience and knowledge for us.
- So always be careful when choosing the right bounty projects, always check some reviews about it, if you see so many positive then you can know the answer on your questions.
-That's true, scammers and hackers will take this opportunity to make an action, they know that most of the people now need money so they tend to believe what they can say wihich can result to bad things. :)

Exactly. Hunters are much educated now, they learnt lots of things in these years, not every hunter survived in the long run bearish season, many left the place! Only experienced hunters are doing good at this moment. If Bounty hunter works for 20 projects, then they get payment from 10! Yet they don't feel that bad, they move on and start hunting new projects. That's the spirit of a true crypto enthusiast! Though sometimes when we become very choosy, we loss big opportunities like Ixinium, Hex, Zeux and list goes on! That's why now I am motivated to suggest average quality bounty campaign too!

It's difficult to select the right projects even if you do research all day but for bounty hunters they aren't investing any money so the only way to be one step ahead is not giving up or relying on any project, if it's good enough just promote and look for other

I agree if you said that there are so many scammers takes advantages because of covid 19. They know that so many people join the cryptocurrency world because they must stay at home.  Everything done by online.  So,  this condition they use to attract people by scam bounties. We should be careful in choosing project if we do not want to waste our time.

I think for bounty hunters, what we need the most is patience. We are not investing money so we should not keep on rushing and just do our best for the project to be successful. If it will not pay in the end, then don't give up. There are still a lot of good projects around that can give us good amount of income. We have nothing to lose so we should be more persistent in doing our task.

It is your choice, actually you can collect money and start trading. In trading you can make money and it can be made as side or even a source income. I do these thing several years ago, promote bounty campaign and collect the reward as a capital to trade and just focus on to learn about trading. And now I can feel the result, at least I'm not rely on bounty project to earn money because I can make money through trading.

Find job that will sustain for our living, let bounty hunting as a sideline maybe for extra or to be used in investment. Make sure that we have a source of income so when the bounty didn't pay, we will not be too worried since many campaign now were not paying or it's bee hard to look for campaign which will really pay. We just need to do it as long as we don't put too much expectation on it.

Holding some tokens that are listed in the market can be exciting though. Especially if the price fluctuates high every day which volume could go up to $500k daily. It's more than enough for you to practise trading to that token. I always try to be the first to get some of these tokens even when it's listed on DEX.  Don't give up pick the ones you think are worth it because excitements are worth when its there on the exchange.

1. There's should be hope that better projects could surface again. We shouldn't compare past years results.
2. About this, you should also have it at the back of your mind that not all projects are worth promoting. Some comes with shitty allocation, some are just there to gain awareness through bounty and scam investors
3. Listed bounty with a good allocation is still ok and payout could be predicted unlike the ones with zero value that are yet to enter an exchange

The point is never to give up what has happened when the bounty does not pay or worthless tokens because it often happens now so I think we should be able to be more patient to promote more bounties so that we can generate the big rewards collected.

Very few projects accept payment in BTC or ETH, the majority of such projects require very high membership levels. So low-level members have no choice but to participate in bonus projects paid for by the project's own coins. Of course participating in such projects carries a high risk but people need to accept that.

Never give up but be cautious whichever bounty you choose because they can't always be what you have expected them to be. The mentality is remaining for most bounty hunters and it's hard to remove about being positive for most bounties that they join because of that golden times for ICO market.
But accept the fact, that it completely changed a lot.

I cannot agree with you with this, don't just join any projects, you might end up helping to spread a scam project. Yes, we can't tell which project will pay or success but we can minimize it right? by digging some information, review and read feedbacks, find facts about the project. Don't just promote a project that you don't even read the whitepaper. I guess this thread will help us in finding decent bounties with potential. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.msg53916917#msg53916917

Just work hard and join as many campaigns as possible. I believe we will receive a lot of things in the end. I have encountered a lot of bounty scams and distribution delays but I'm still here because bounty is still helping me make a profit.

You are right, the bounty listed at the exchange can also become scams. Like the Insure and Blockburn projects, I see they have delayed distribution and now they will ban anyone from mentioning bounty on their telegram channel. And Insure paused the campaign indefinitely and failed to make payments for weeks it had previously completed. There are so many types of scams in this market that we need to accept

Unfortunately, the fraudsters took advantage of the people's fear of the Covid-19 epidemic to double their profits by persuading the victims to download harmful applications on the pretext of donating by impersonating charities or claiming to sell Corona virus treatments, it appears that fraud and theft will be an important engine to push towards a strong legal regulation of currencies Digital.

for the golden period, I am very sure that it will not be repeated I still believe there is a project that will give value in the current era, it's just that I don't know what the project is, the listed bounty is no guarantee, but if it comes with a bounty manager or platform those who guarantee reward  for example bounty detective so if you want to try your luck it doesn't hurt to follow one of their campaigns.

Personally i research more times before joining any bounty campaign. If i do 10 bounties 5 or 6 bounties are good. after distribution, team locked bounty hunters rewards, then token price much higher. But When they unlocked hunters rewards this time tokens price is nothing. It's really painful for a bounty hunter.  

Even after all this, we never give up still work hard with deep research.

With the epidemic situation, more and more projects become scams in this market. We need to be very careful with new projects because they will take advantage of the disease to exit scam in this market. Also the bounty hunters need to accept the fact that payment will always arrive later than the original schedule

Very nice choice of words but I think its better to promote a project already listed on exchanges than promoting a project not listed. I understand that's not the yardstick for judging which pays at the end but atleast it helps to limit risk. Before promoting any project, I thoroughly check some key points especially the team. If the team is reliable, then its a 50% score for me because even if the project has a great MVP for instance to showcase, but the team's credibility is questionable, its a no no for me. I dont normally give up when sourcing and promoting projects i think are worth it, but we are humans, at a point we get fed up. Let grace shine us our hustle, that's just it.

Currently, many good projects have appeared. According to my research, there are at least 10 bounty running and they have been listed at the exchange, obviously it's time we should join the bounty. Certainly we will get a lot of profit from it

.
Your no 2 is for me, no. I try as much  as I can to choose few projects to run bounties with. It is better to have a limited number than being in many that end up scams. If that happens it only means that you have helped the projects spread their scams and deceived many through social media across the world.

Join as many bounty as possible, because we will not be able to know which bounty will send payment to us. Don't join 1-2 bounty and wait for them, it will make us waste valuable time.

Most of my friends chose to stop joining the bounty campaign because they thought the bounty campaign at this time was not like that. That is true, but that is not a good reason to stop, because there are still many campaigns that provide good rewards. Although it takes more effort, analysis and luck than before.

This problem depends on each decision. For me, I prefer quality, no problem joining a little campaign as long as we really analyze it well. We don't really know what will happen because the crypto world is full of surprises. So that while there is still a chance please try, expect as needed, don't be greedy and be grateful for whatever we get.

In this context, we must check whether the exchange is profitable or not. Tokens or coins that already exist in the market are not a guarantee that the bounty campaign will be successful if the exchange has a fake volume and buy order is very thin. Consider this well.

Yes, there are a lot of frauds in the name of COVID-19, really ironic. This is sad for all of us, should not be used as a mask for fraud. Under no circumstances should we make arbitrary decisions, do in-depth analysis and ask a more expert friend if possible.

Sometimes, the bounty you think is a scam and too poor might be the one that will change your story for good as a bounty hunter. This has been proven by some projects and it can repeat itself again. now that there are so many projects. it is not a must for you to take part in all the programmes on each campaign. you can just pick a part that you know you can be effective at and try to take part in others. No matter how little it is, if any of the campaigns perform well, you will definitely get your to out of I, which is better than just handpicking some and leave the rest.

We are currently in a situation that canbe termed a global storm as the whole world seems to be on shut down due to the COVID19 pandemic  and i believe after every storm come a light at the end of the a tunnel, very soon the mother Earth will survive this pandemic again as it did for other ones in the past. Similarly, the cryptocurrency market will also heal again and becomes more stable but when it does, as a bounty hunter, do you have anything to show for it? I believe now is the time for every bounty hunter to stock up their portfolio with active participation in projects that shows at least decent prospect.

As many as possible? Well, if it is about social media, articles, or others, it can be. But for the signature campaign, we only can participate in one signature campaign at one time. ANd of course, we don't only participate in as many as possible bounty, but participating in the bounty that has been analyzed and considered as legit and trusted bounty will be more valuable.

Do you mean the bounties promoting projects that have listed their coin on the exchange? Well, I think that it has some differences. A project that has listed their coin in exchange at least more trusted, I prefer to choose this one rather than choosing the one that is not listed yet. Although it has risks, it is less than not listed yet.

This era becomes the moment that shit project or scammers act their efforts to deceive the newbies. And in fact, many newbies are trapped in their projects. In this case, regarding participating in Bounty, a newbie only has a small chance to join, moreover signature campaign, I really suggest building and rank up the rank of the account at first.

since there is a cov-19 I work at home and I focus more on doing bounty but the scam project is inevitable and waiting for payment when the bounty is finished is also very long, I hope the cov-19 will be over quickly and everyone can do activities as usual again, Never Give Up !!!

Thats right, we are not certain if the history will repeat itself therefore having less expectation is much better to avoid disappointment.

Dont just join but conduct an extensive research about the project. That way you might spot a good one that likely to give you a decent profit.

Not paying and having no exchange is the same, it means you ended up without profit after everything you've done.

Bounties with fixed BTC payment are for high ranking members not for a member like me, the highest money I made from bounties are from shit coins, most quality projects I promoted don't pay till date, too many delays on them

Yes this is right because we should not be discourage with anything that can down us becsuse we should be always optimistic here in cryptocurrencies because it is one way of being happy. If we suffer loss then we should get back up already because we should never give up in anything including here in cryptocurrency. Having a optimistic attitude is a great business face because it can help you have a good reputation here in cryptocurrency. I think that we should be flexible and accept all things that can happen here in cryptocurrencies and dont make false assumptions because that might hurt you and dont expect big expectations because it might disappoint you.

It is true the Bounty hunter should always be ready the project will either decide not to pay rewards or reduce them. As of the third point, I have never met projects listed on good Exchanges not payed rewards for Bounty campaign.

That's the recipe for instant failure. Litepool. I always ask guys like you: why the hell would you waste the time joining as many as possible? I know you live in russia but the income there is probably the same as where I come from. Isn't it better to work and earn 50 cents an hour (at a small job I can think off) and get some real money rather than all those crap bounties that give you nothing AND you have to pay power bills?

Most projects that are worthless are those token paying campaigns. You have no assurance when will they ever credit it to your address or will they ever calculate your stakes. And if they will give your share, usually it's already past the good trading price because they will give it to you few months after being listed in the exchange. And most of the time, the price already went down so much. That is, if the project decided to send your tokens but most of them will just end up on spreadsheets, meaning they will calculate your share but will never see the end of the light. Not in your wallet nor in exchanges. So if you want an assurance, choose btc or eth paying campaigns handled by reputable managers here.

But these projects also could give you a good bounty if the project will be a success.

In the past, when the market was bullish, people are eager to join a bounty campaign paying in token than those that pays in BTC as they know they will get more. Bounty campaign is just like investing, you need a good timing to earn money, and it's understandable that these days bounty hunters really struggle as the market is struggling as well.

Yeah the more the merrier but you are not sure if those you did are good campaigns. Many campaign are still risky and your time will be eaten by these campaign. Why not pick only good and sure projects. Also you can do more than one signature campaign but applicable to social media. But I would not risk my account to be trash seeing my post are only consist of report on thread of the links. Think about always if the budget is enough for a huge participants sometime doing a lot can only gain worthless trash tokens. Not all ICO or IEO projects with bounty results to succesful one so you should use your time wisely also when doing a promotion for a campaign. Pick also an easy task that you dont need to do a lot of things.

Your second point makes lot of sense OP, joining more bounties is like creating more chances of success for oneself, and yes not all bounties will pay but the higher the chances the better, time is running fast, promoting five projects in a single year isn't good enough

Few listed bounties already fumbled this year so you have a point about the possibility of not receiving reward from listed bounty projects, it happens but this doesn't leave out bounties that aren't on exchanges yet, they take more time than listed projects

Sure, if we participate in more bounty, the chance of getting money will be higher. Currently I am trying to spend more time on bounty because I see there are too many good bounty. Certainly in 2020 bounty will not make people disappointed

They are too lazy to learn more about how to choose the best project. The fact that if the majority of those who are randomly joining in the bounties never get a decent payment. They were only wasting their money to join in the scam project. Dude, if those five projects were legit projects and it's worth.

really agree with what you said , alos one thing
keep tracking ur bounty , distribution and etc even after the bounty end while doing another new bounty , sometimes there will be exchange or change to another platform

In my opinion, we don't need to follow many bounties because there are many campaigns with bad projects. But maybe by participating in many campaigns, there will be an opportunity for us to get paid from the campaigns that we follow. But for me, following the campaign of the project handled by a good bounty manager, I think the opportunity to get paid will be greater

I am sure many of us get the worst experience from the bounty project because many of the projects are trying to scam people and run away their money, or the team has not paid the participants. But the participant should not give up because they will not have a chance to find a good project which can give the reward to them at the end of the launch. You need to calm down while you can search for another project, and still be careful to find out the project.

we will never see gold as in the past and we also have to adapt to current conditions

for that we must do more research so as not to work in vain During supporting a project

I totally agree with OP, if you are really looking to make the most amount of money you can from bounty hunting there is no way you should stop, just apply to everything you humanely could and try to squeeze in every single penny out of the hunting as you can. Why should you stop, why should you be sad that one didn't pay, why would you get discouraged.

If 10 didn't pay, 11th will, if 50 didn't pay well, one will cover your rent. Just keep at it and be persistent, I can swear to you it will pay off. Plus the more you do it and the bigger you get, the more awesome your rewards will become as well, when starting out brand new you may not be awesome but by the end of it you are going to really want to keep going because you will be making way more than what you used to make.

Yeah, I think the best alternative way to atleast earn for a living while we are in a lockdown fighting against the pandemic is put your time into something you know you are good at wether it is in crypto or in other field of expertise you have. Bounty Hunting is best for those who are new to crypto and does not know anything about trading, but if you are crypto enthusiast, investors or traders trading could possibly be your best options but nevertheless whatever it is, we only have one goal and that is to earn while we are staying at home in quarantine.

If you are the type aiming to make big money from bounties this year you shouldn't stop when you through with more than three bounty campaigns, you will have to keep hunting till the end of the year gets here

This is just the facts; it is very wrong to give up on any situation; be it bounty, trading, or investing.
Giving up is never an option i believe.

I want to query your second points; the sky is indeed the limit, but bounty hunters should not join every bounty;
You should be able to do your own research as an hunter; select the best of the bounties, work hard and earn big. This is a better approach than doing 100 bounties at the same time; doing little tasks and earning little.

We are all vulnerable now for scams.
Be really careful guys.


It's true.
I have seen a lot of news now with group of people trying to hack, scam, or just plain thievery because they have so much time tinkering the internet.
Once they bump to hackers forum or practices in Youtube they will also foolishly try it because of hunger.
Just always not forget DYOR. It will be helpful. It is to avoid regrets in the future and also avoiding the waste of time.

Yep never give up in bounties but many scam projects nowadays so research the project first so you will not waste your time to promote a scam projects.

at least it must try as much as possible for the business you do will surely give results if you participate to be able to get a lot of revenue from cryptocurrency then it can be from a bounty campaign or from airdrop, some time ago I saw someone who can get a lot of results, so who important is the effort and effort that is increased while the results will follow on their own.

I have been 3 years doing bounties. I have already experienced good & bad moments. For now dont expect big profit because it is just a miracle. Good project is real but you need a good research and big luck for that. Dont give up yet.

Yes, because people who are lazy and surrender to temporary conditions, obviously will not get anything, so keep on working in every job we like, including hunting bounties that already exist this year.

We're in different situation right now compared to last time with a bunch of good projects that bounty hunters will participate with. It seems that the quantity of projects are there but legitmate projects are not. So it's hard to hunt right now and required a intensive research about the projects.
Don't be depends on the quantity of projects but its quality. There are projects doesn't failed in there ICO but when it launch to exchange become low value. Sometimes we didn't expect to have that value which is way so far for our computation.

Don't make promotion crypto project as your core job, that is not enough to recover your financial. Do it to spending your free time after working a day. When you have promoted scam project, you can't complain to someone else. Keep promoting crypto project for additional income as a bounty hunter, don't too disappointed if you got scam, because you don't lose any money. That is what iI can say.

The bounty is in a difficult time and may never return to the past, but with the hardworking Bounty hunters they still make money. Difficulties will eliminate unqualified or inappropriate people.

1) I supported the number 1,4 and barely 3 because most bounty hunters don't always to their own fundamental research before joining a bounty campaigns and i can tell you 2 or more bounty campaign right that doesnt worth the time but i saw alot of people still joining the bounty.
2) You can actually know project that will pay base on the affection and mature level of the project team/owner toward bounty hunter.

not only from bounty if you want to get money in the world of crypto, you can search for Airdrop and follow the AMA of a project,
or maybe trade in the exchange, and never give up!

Being optimistic and following certain rules, we should participate in bounties irrespective of rewards. If projects are legit, having multiple coins or tokens of different projects, someday we may get good benefits out of it.
Also, we have to make it very clear that participating bounties should be a part-time job and not primary so that we should not depend only on the money received by bounties.

I don't see a reason why one would think about giving up, despite what it is in crypto now but I still trust and believe in it to do much better, for the fact things are not how it was last year and 2018 doesn't warrant one giving up. Let's keep moving because together we can make it a better place.

i don't know, because much people is stop doing bounty again because we know it not get pay.
i miss when i be a bounty hunter and every month i get income like a real work and that in 2017.
what we can see like that time again ??

Even making research about good projects, there are still projects that happens to be a scam even though it looks legit or anything. It is really hard to make money out of bounty campaigns nowadays. But still, despite of this negativity about campaigns, I'm still doing it and hoping that there are still good projects out there that will pay and can make money with.

The honey moon period is over, even in this situation you can still make profit but things are a bit different now.

Scammers will look for any opportunity to make money and they will take advantage of the unfortunate situation the world is going through to make a mockery out of any innocent victim, if everyone takes a solid decision on controlling their greed to make more money then these scams can be controlled.

If you do have lots of time to spend or waste up then this step would really be just fine but if you are somewhat giving out important into your time then i wouldnt suggest about bounty hunting.

If we do base or compare between those previous years of bounty hunting then i can say that these years are totally waste of time.Of course there are some that do pay but it would really be just
like finding a need on a haystack.
So i dont really recommend on doing bounty hunting nowadays and it would be much better if you do waste up your time on developing some skills that would be beneficial for you later on.

Waiting is good if that thing is worthy enough to wait, then I don't give up. Sometimes we lose our hopes not just because we are giving up already but because there is no sense to wait by then knowing that it is obviously they won't give any to our participation. I know that all bounty hunters had suffered this thing, not only once but twice, thrice...often more times it happening but people are still doing it for they know that someday they could be lucky enough and got the one that they are looking for. That was the mindset of true believers.

As I always say, not everyday is your lucky day. There will be a time where times go down and you must be ready for that to happen ;). Same with Bounty hunting.

I'm somewhat agree with this but the fact that you are promoting around 10 projects and only 1 will pay you will break your spirits down very hard. Many have experienced this TBH. Promoting too many projects, spending too much time and effort for it and in the end they will not get any reward from it. I have experienced it too. I'm just lucky that I bought something important for me with the help of bounty hunting.

Yeah you're not so most of the bounties are not paying. You know what to do? Don't join bounties.

If there are no people who want to get scammed, there will be no scammers to scam. What you will do?? Don't join to bounties, don't advertise scam projects and just spend your time in other ways.

don't expect this year to be the same as a few years ago and i agree with what you say we "have to adapt" to it.

during these few years i have felt very frustrated and i think every project is a scam. i stopped following the bounty for some time, but that didn't mean i gave up. i came back this year, because i thought this year would be different. i don't really hope that the golden year will return, but i only hope this year will be different from last year.

I actually lost faith in joining the altcoin campaign a few years ago when ICO started to fail due to the number of scam projects that popped-out in the market. I am not saying that all projects are scam nowadays, there are still legitimate projects that are paying, but you will have to spend time looking for them. Just keep trying and don't lose hope.

I agree. Actually not just for bounty hunters but as well for traders and investors because failures are always present on the paths we take. Failures are sometimes good to be experience so that on the next trials we take up, we already know how to adapt on the situation to better execute what must be the action to do to avoid or somehow prevent failure to come in the way. Whenever we face circumstances, we must learn how to bounce back and never give up because easily giving up is already cutting or ending your chance to recover once again and to strive hard to get your journey into success. Always seek for the positive side despite of the negative situation so that you will still have hope in your hands for you to be able not to give up.

In life When you have decided to do any work you should go ahead with that work.it might get many time failure but don't giveuo anytime because When you spend some times on your work you will gain experience, might get losses many times but gaining experience Will always work in life as your best strength. When you come to trade or investment today market is so volatile that in the current situation you can only win by your experience. After getting the failure many times you should realise that what you have done wrong to get These losses. So never give up and try with the best frame of mind.

Not just you that feels very frustrated because I think many others have the same as you. But we can hope that this year, we can have the opportunity to make a profit again like a few years ago. But if this year, the conditions still are the same as the last year, then we need to be patient until the next year. We can hope that the golden year will return, but at least, bitcoin and altcoin can rise for a little.

 There are projects doesn't failed in there ICO but when it launch to exchange become low value. Don't give up pick the ones you think are worth it because excitements are worth when its there on the exchange. There are so many types of scams in this market that many of the projects are trying to scam people and run away their money, or the team has not paid the participants.But the participant should not give up because they will not have a chance to find a good project which can give the reward to them at the end of the launch. we need to accept. Everyone needs to be vigilant against scammers and never invest in shady, suspicious or not transparent projects also try to analyse each project thoroughly and also listen to your general gut feeling. You need to calm down while you can search for another project, and still be careful to find out the project.

Listed bounties are the most disappointing of all, they either get dumped before your token reached you or the tokens are locked for months before you get paid, I'm done with listed coins, they don't payout tokens like bounty projects that aren't listed yet

To avoid wasting your time promoting scam or shit projects, invest your time choosing projects that you will promote. It is true that the majority of the projects are scam or will not pay you, but there are still projects who pay participants. Even joining campaigns nowadays is a gamble, there is no assurance that you will earn something but just keep on trying, but do it in a wise way by choosing where to join.

Yes you are right. "NEVER GIVE UP" Should be a principle backing man not just in the crypto space. Even in the real world setting. Relating this to crypto space, we may understand that 2017, 2018 was a year for bounty hunting... but the reverse is the case as at 2019 to date. I can only advise bounty hunters not to give up. Not just hunters, traders and investors alike.

Factors of failure is depend on projects. Bounty hunters need to remember that most projects are always end up failing. Why I know this? Lets say Ive been there done that. I did a lot of campaigns mostly on altcoin sections but only few given me profits. Yes maybe Im not that efficient on choosing but what I noticed it most scam projects have the same pattern and this will be always the same method they will show you.

I remembered I have a bounty that dont us on their campaign but they have been listed on exchange. See not all are honest, even if you knew that the project is on exchange already there will be a time thay they will still scam hunters.

the more we give up the more we will get nothing, so for now don't expect gold, getting silver is very good. don't give up and keep doing a lot of research before joining bounty. That's a principle that a bounty hunter must have

In 2019 I still see a lot of successful bounty and help many people get profit. And in 2020 I see a lot of good bounty running, and we need to wait a few months to be able to evaluate them. But anyway I believe that if we work hard, surely we will get a lot of money from this market

   Who gives up easily is not ready for life. Dealing with technology, investments, you
need to be strong and to believe in what you are doing if you want to be successful.
Bounty hunters, all crypto-currency holders, signature promoters, all of us need to
be brave and to not quit in hard times.
   I know that my plan is to stay here and give my full trust to some crypto-currencies,
in good and bad times, and I believe my reward is waiting me in the future.

I never thought that the project that I participated in would end in fraud or just make a profit. we are just a bounty hunter, if you don't benefit from this project, who knows, you might benefit from other projects. then don't stop being a bounty hunter...

Good, we just need to do our job well. And engage in campaigns with careful research. I believe we will limit a lot of scam campaigns and do not waste time with them. And I agree with you, if we encounter a scam project, do not hurry and get discouraged. There are still many other better projects waiting for us

Many experiences of getting scam doing effort to promote the project but not paying good in return. We should be very careful and be active in the project community to be aware of its plan and development for us not to be left behind. Despite the bad experience, we should still have a hope that still you can earn from joining a bounty project.

Obviously a hardworking bounty hunter will get a lot more in this market. In 2019, many people complained that the bounty is dead and no project has been successful. But I've seen a lot of people make tens of thousands of dollars from airdrops and bounty. They did not miss any project and they received a worthy result

Yes, this is very good conversation here. I also think like you that as a bounty hunter we can give up our work as some project will hit or some project may not but if we upset only for fail project we can not more forwarded and there are lots of projects in front of us.

Scammers are always everywhere but we have to be careful as it is competitive place and finally forget previous BTC price then keep eye one present situation and work on it. you will be gainer.

isnt it better to just promote projects that is already listed or atleast projects that already have listing agreements signed with reputable exchanges.. than just promoting every scam project out there just because you're a bounty hunter.. I think we should be more careful on the aspect of projects you choose to promote

For now it is increasingly difficult to get a good project as it has ever happened in 2017, today bounty hunters no longer get satisfactory results in every project and there is always a problem when the project is over, and for the team that manages the project should they be able to appreciate the hard work of the bounty hunters to promote their project, and we are constantly striving to get the result of the project , stay spirit and don't give up.

Related to point 3 in my opinion, name is a risk as a bounty hunter. Sometimes paymen do not match, but there are many considerations that you must take as a reference to match expectations. I'm sure the bounty hunter at least asks who understands better.

The more here we are served by many unexpected things, we can only be more careful and more extra careful in choosing it. Maybe it can be said that the income now is very far compared to previous years, but as long as we want to try everything we will be able to find the best. let's try together for better ..

This is exactly our mindsets, if not no body will be doing bounties. It is the hope that the bounties we do will turn out profitable a few months later that makes us go ahead to do others even when we are not paid at the end. I took a decision a few weeks ago to be selective in the bounties I do. It must be promising and from trusted managers.

You're wrong. You can promote many projects at the same time, apart from social bounty campaigns, article campaigns are the answer.

Apart from that, this is just my opinion. Still, we better follow a campaign that is already listed on an exchange because the worst scenario of participating in a movement that is already listed on the exchange is you are not paid, try to compare it with the risk of you following a campaign that is not yet listed on the exchange, You can not get paid, you get paid, but the project is not listed on any exchange, which is better? You can judge it.

 This is what i tell people in the cryptoworld , nomatter the loss you think you have  seen in the past  , its not the best to give up . better days  are always ahead , all you need do is carry out due research on projects before investing. i do believe better days will come in cryptoworld and early adopters will enjoy  great benefits.

One fact is that there would always come a time when giving up would feel like the best thing you can do. I remember the period when I lost a substantial amount of money owing to the hack of my wallet. Sincerely, I felt like walking away from everything. Several persons have had more terrible experience in this space, but in everything, it's wise to hold on, because the best is yet to come and the industry would be instrumental to the financial security of many. Let's keep the ball rolling.

Looking back will make you feel pain, we know that 2017 and 2018 are good times for bounty hunters, there are a lot of prizes, but for 2019 and 2020 the prizes might be small, and you shouldn't give up, do it, I'm sure there will be a good bounty and this year with big prizes

You have the perseverance and good spirit to continue following the campaign. but many of us have stopped now too. You can see that some bounties are no longer crowded. This might be good because if we can be lucky, we will get a bigger prize. but right now it seems difficult.

I think the market is slowly improving now but still we are going to face non payments or scammed because we know it is a non regulated market and there are no guarantees of payment but i agree with your point and i will push people to keep working hard and just believe that your hard work will be paid off soon one way or the other.

but when you encourage people to keep working hard at least you can also guarantee that what they do will be paid because usually they will hesitate to do something without a guarantee of payment. but what is most important is a very high effort to be able to get money.

The only means through which bounty hunters can be encouraged is if they are able to get a project among others, that would pay them so well to cob=ver for their losses, but that sometimes is hard to find. I fact, you might have done about 20 before you can get one that will pay for those lost times and efforts.
The project teams are not encouraging, no one from any =where is encouraging, but we keep giving ourselves hope that it will be better.

Being a bounty hunter is not easy. The worst risk is the work and support we provide is not paid at all or cheated by certain parties.

One important point, even though many bounty campaigns fail, it doesn't mean that all bounty campaigns are bad. In fact, early January I was still able to get a good reward from Tachyon. In fact, campaigns that are truly legit are not as many as campaigns that fail. If you are unable to accept this risk, then you will only be trapped in disappointment.

It's not easy especially when faced with alot of dissapointment from different projects it could be really hard because you don't know what will pay or not. If you are passionate about what you are doing then you won't give up either there is pay or not.

What matters the most in every project, whether this year is a prosperous season or not, is the legitimacy. For sure that most bounty hunters were still okay if there are only few projects around or even small rewards are given as long as they will receive at the end of it. Unfortunately, this is not what supposed to happen all the time, scams and/or unprofessional managers continue to rise. So I can't blame if some of hunters lose hope and already got a bad impression on bounties as a whole. Even me can't adopt on such environment ;D.

yes as a bounty hunter must continue to hunt relentlessly for the project good is difficult to find looking for something that definitely was a tough bounty from year to year more and more difficult in looking for that really pay their participants because most do not pay and some of their projects successful but they do not willing to pay bounty hunter this is already a lot going on.

Actually if they like to take a rest they can always do so, the bounty hunting requires a lot of effort to be able to find one and if the bounty is over, it is still not guaranteed that the bounty hunter will get the value of the coin because most of the time it will still dump, and more bounty hunters will dump, it could affect the future price of a certain coin, and with that, the project team sometimes delay the payment to prevent that from happening, thus it will not make bounty hunters profitable as their salary will be delayed.

Actually, this is the most used reason right now. This is something that bounty hunters can't determine if their reasoning is real or not. I know that we are facing a pandemic, but yes, scammers are using this reason to their advantage to easily exit the project and leave bounty hunters without paying them.

But we can choose the safer route. Recently I have seen bounty campaigns promoting the alts listed on the exchange. Such as Ezstayz, IQcash. Those are projects that have been traded at some good exchanges and we have seen their prices. We won't have to worry about being cheated, but in return our rewards will be less.

Someone once said (forgotten the person), the going will only get tougher and that's how life is most times; but in this case one needs to be careful and strategic in his dealings. The crypto space isn't what it used to be, nowadays most projects are just used by the team to carry out their fraudulent acts while only a few are good for every efforts hence I agree with your 2nd point, one needs to be persistent. Also, your 4th point is true as well, scammers uses any opportunity they come across and this pandemic gave them one, hence it is wise to be careful of some of the things projects promises to do because most of the promises or objectives are just to attract investors and scam them.

Tip number 2 is so much true. I used to be like that, too conform with two or three projects because I thought they were really good so I stopped joining other projects. Hit me really hard when the project I liked become a failure.

Campaigns that pay with BTC or ETH are usually very limited participants so it is only natural that many people who join a bounty campaign pay with their project tokens/coins because there is no other choice but at least they try to research first before joining. If all the campaigns do that I'm sure many members will not complain and are more enthusiastic about promoting the project.

Honestly there are projects with great and perfect plan and purpose but at the end it was failed,maybe because of lack of good marketing strategy or some other reasons. But despite of that ,i still promoting projects through bounty campaign and i'm enjoying doing it even i don't even know if what is the future of this project. For me,joining a campaign is like hitting the moon but there is no problem if you want to try and try and try.... There are still successful projects and willing to pay for bounty by promoting them at the end.

Bounties should be treated as per time job not full time, this way if failure comes it won't cost you a thing to join another, frustration can only occur if you are a full time bounty hunter, honestly speaking many bounty projects will bring nothing but disappointments

When a project you like becomes a failure then you don't despair and give up, it's a natural thing in the Bounty world. I personally find a lot of projects that make a Bounty campaign up to 12 weeks but after they finish Bounty, they don't distribute their tokens to Bounty Hunter. It hurts so much, but I don't give up to continue to find projects that really pay us.

Indeed one needs to always do his or her best,also while promoting a project don't expect so much but do the best you can for the project so as to earn much, it's also absurd for a bounty hunter to do just 2 to 3 bounties and just decide to wait for reward before continuing,keep pushing you never know when you will hit the jack pot.

this is a good suggestion, of course we have to continue after we finish with one project, some people stop and hope to be paid from the project, should continue to promote for other projects sounds tiring, but this must be done.
because we can't believe just for a project.

Since 2018 most of the bounties are scams and this year scammers are very rampant, then when 2019 came up, it was still scam
project remain looking for a victim, and now 2020 it lessen at least but not assurance to say scam project now are few of course not
they are still lot of them, so it is much better not to join for now.

Yes, that's right, I myself also do Bounty in my spare time, meaning I am not fully focused on bounty work, because I also need daily needs that cannot be provided through Bounty, so I also work in other places other than the bounty.

Bounty hunting could be getting harder however that doesn't mean it is getting rarer neither, now you gotta have to work more to get the same amount of money which I understand may sound unfair but it is like that with companies as well. Let me put it this way, back in 2008 when I first got a job I was making about 400 dollars or so per month, that was the amount of money I was making per month in my nation, of course I do not live in USA so it was a decent amount of money, today I am making 460 dollars, after 12 years. You know why?

Because even though life got more expensive the dollar ratio changed to my fiat as well so right now I am making only 60 dollars more. My life didn't really changed much neither, even though I earn significantly more in fiat of my nation, the life is basically literally the same.

As prize hunters, we must continue to work and never give up even though we never know what will happen next, every day many projects emerge and maybe only a few are worth following. but I believe that when half of bitcoin is reduced, the market will most likely return stable and maybe the prize project will be profitable again.

I believe giving up should never be an option, in everything we get our hands to do.
It is better to fail, than not to try at all.

So if you fail, do not blame yourself, do not give up; instead learn from the errors, and even become better.

IF you fail in trading, practice more strategy, improve your skills and be even better.
If its bounty; learn more composure; and use it to great use.

I agree for not giving up referring on the topic because nowadays many bounty hunter specially newbie in this crypto world they are slowly giving up because they didn't get anything after a long work the project was run with the funds then they will be depressed on it, being new in this society it was hard but if you learn on how to deal with it then running of project was nothing.

Many bounty hunters are frustrated at this time, because many bounty projects do not meet expectations and some even cheat, for those of us who still survive as bounty hunters, the word patience is the right answer. If the golden opportunity returns, we won't miss it, so keep fighting and don't give up..

As a responsible bounty hunter, we should have to make research as well as self-study regarding the project before participating in a bounty campaign. This research helps you to avoid scam projects.

yes don't ever give up ,,,

to minimize failure as a bounty hunter myself always do a few things before deciding to choose a project. such as analyzing coin specifications, then analyzing white papers, seeing who the team members are, and how they work.

but it cannot be denied that sometimes I am still deceived by my own analysis and maybe even feel the same experience but at least we've tried,

It is true that it is very difficult to choose the right project. But as bounty hunters, we must remain patient and keep trying to find the best, because after all we do not invest in the form of money, but we help promote the project. So that as a bounty hunter, we better always try to promote this project wholeheartedly and wait patiently for payment. Because in my country there is a saying that "if we are patient, the results will be satisfactory"

a scam project or the price falls when the nounty is finished and the token is paid I think it's a common thing, good bounty managers also sometimes get things like that, just follow all projects and don't give up even though you are often exposed to fraud

So true. I saw many crypto hunter have this kind of thinking, only focus on the bounty project they like. Sometimes, they stop working for bounty and just waiting for the promised bounty reward to be distributed which very risky since anything can happen to crypto especially the new and young bounty projects.

I understand that perhaps this is the right advice and that we need to participate in as many projects as possible. But I'm not ready to do it like I used to. I prefer to participate in one or two campaigns at the same time, while scrupulously choosing projects.

We all need confirmation for bounty distribution. Several bounty managers are taking advantage of the escrow process. Social hunters are free to join all of their favorite coins. Social hunters should take this advantage because other campaigns will be limited. New rules can be added before finishing campaign distribution should be sent to the manager.

yes, this feeling is very true, for bounty hunters this is one of the main points of point 2, in my opinion, if you really intend, don't limit you, go beyond your limits. because for now the bounty is not something you can make a priority over, you must always move or find as many bounties as possible and if the bounty is successful it is your main gift.

Based on the experience we have from the past regarding BTC, who knows that it will rise up to that value? I mean we can store more coins now and we'll just wait for it. Let's have faith in cryptocurrency and maybe someday we'll never know. I have a lots of altcoins right now and also converting to major crypto to have some. Just have patience and time is all we need.

You're right. We can know nothing. Therefore, we have the right to hope, to expect, to wait. As we all know, BTC and ETH is gaining its values, therefore, it's a good time to invest in major coins especially BTC and ETH. Right now, I'm choosing to hold mostly ETH and BTC because I have a strong feeling that they will pump sooner or later. However, don't forget that the pump of ETH and BTC can trigger a bullish season for altcoins also. Therefore, looking for some good altcoins to invest is a good idea too!

I am more interested in discussing point 2.
yes sometimes by only promoting 2-3 projects it is not a guarantee that you will get a commensurate reard, my advice is when you're done promoting project one. we must quickly run to find and hunt for other projects so that we can stay productive and get new projects. because nowadays many scammers are publishing projects very convincingly, so we have to be aware of the project and have a backup project.

You are not doing yourself any good by misleading many on this forum, who tells you that any project that doesn't pay bounty hunters in BTC or ETH shouldn't be promoted? Where were you when Cartesi bounty became successful and profitable for bounty hunters? Where were you when oikos bounty did the same?

The second point on OP list is a very good advice for bounty hunters, do not think you've hit a jackpot by promoting just two or three projects, there is a chance that those three projects might not do so good, try as much as possible to expand your chance of good success by joining good projects when available and do your own research on the project first.

That's right. Don't fall asleep when you doing your job! Some people win some projects and then they have the safe feeling with the market, that's a great risk. You're at greater risk when you feel that you're safe. Bounty hunters need to always be careful about the risk. By taking precautions and cautions, we can reduce the risk of being scammed in this market!

The character and traits that I've learned in this crypto world is being persistent, being risk taker and also be optimistic even if you see a fall down because the volatility of the market but looking at the brighter side, it will really help you any many way if you just trust and never give up on this industry.

Same as me! Since I joined the market, I've learnt that being persistent, optimistic and patient is extremely important when you want to do any kind of business not only in the cryptocurreny market. I know that this market contains a lot of risk that people easily fail in traps of scammers. However, the lesson that we remember the most is the lesson that we learn in a hard way! Never give up and move on, you'll find success someday!

that its just it, narrow is the way to earn more, because trials all such of thing will come in place, one just need to take is stand, because as a hunter their is no way one can avert such at inception of one starting as a hunter, but as time go on one will adapt and get over it, because when you will make more no one knows.  that is just my view stand to be corrected.

Being positive in cryptocurrency is a good attitude to keep up with the risk in investing to it due to its market value volatility. This can help a lot not get nervous in holding especially if investment gets into trouble like being caught in the halving process. It happen already in 2018 and I thought that it could be the end of cryptocurrency but it did not. Instead just a year pass and now bitcoin pass again 10k usd. So, high chances that halving will.not.going to.happen instead another ATH maybe??

It's nice to know that the situation in the crypto market is improving. Many have not seen this since 2018. Now participation in it gives more confidence that they will not be deceived. Projects for the construction of flower shops on the blockchain are no longer visible.

Yes just think positive if we failed. The situation is not always the same, so if we fail now or our expectation didnt happen dont be discourage but instead look forward for better things on crypto. Jusy keep on trying to invest or join in bounties, as long as you're doing whats needed before investing/joining in bounty then the time will come that your effort will be paid off.

As a bounty hunter the results you're gonna get from bounties will be unpleasant that's for sure so to limit the bad endings I suggest focusing more on any quality bounty projects, if ten different quality projects with good use case introduce bounty campaigns you have to join

Bounty hunting isn't always juicy, there are basically no guarantees on any project. I personally love promoting listed projects, because they tend to be more valuable when we finally get paid compared to the unlisted ones when we may have to wait longer for listing, but there's no assurance that any project would pay, so we just keep hoping for the best.

I've come across a lot of bounty just like you said, they list them at the big exchanges in this market. But they didn't execute the promised token distribution, they found every reason to postpone it and in the end everything ended in silence. Choose bounty that use escrow, it will be much safer

Ive taken quite a few projects in the past up to present and i can confirm this to be true. The possibility of landing in a good and paying project after all the hardwork youve given is about similar to the same amount of risk youll be taking when investing your money on some coin. Never give up.

You are right but that's not always the solution, I see you promoting oikos project, I suspect you decide to promote because the first round was successful distributed to all bounty hunters, some team don't want to get their reputation ruined, escrow is not the answer here, good team matters

Kingcasino was escrowed by bounty detective team and the BM never knew that the project is a scam project, meaning after the scam was exposed the tokens that was escrowed turned useless, I hope you understand what I'm talking about

Which causes Bounty Hunters give up I think because they don't get anything after joining Bounty, even though they get tokens, But the token has no value on the Exchange, I think after 2017 many bounty hunters have retired from the Bounty world, and Lately starting back again, due to the DeFi Project Hype.

The quality project can give the hunters a lot of hope to receive their reward based on the ICO price that has already published. The quality project can bring good development to create the pump and this will make the price ot token even doubled.

I have experienced all the problems you mentioned while doing bounty campaigns. Over the years, some of my efforts doing bounty tasks have been a waste because of problems in the projects or ill manage campaigns. But those did not stop me from continuing to join bounty campaigns. Although I join very seldom right now since rewards are very small as compared before when bounties are very rewarding.

What is the point of promoting a project if they fail to pay you for all your work at the end . At the very least they should be named and shamed and made the investors aware of this trust breach.

It's better to promote only good projects only, don't go on promoting any projects you see just because OP said tow to three bounties a year isn't a good plan, most projects are scam as we know it, that's why it's good to do your own research

That's right. Doing good research is very important in participating in bounty campaigns. However, sometimes the bounty hunters are fooled also! Even though we do really good researches, we can't guarantee that the project will pay or will be good! Doing bounty hunting contains a lot of risks that bounty hunters should be aware of and accept it!

Yes, promoting a project that doesn't pay for is completely useless, regardless of whether they fail or succeed, but if the participant promoting the project doesn't get paid, then it's a trash project and really deserves to be embarrassed.

Now you need to try to participate in as many bounty companies as possible in order to get at least some profit from some bounty companies, but of course you should not forget that there are no such payments from bounty companies that were 2-3 years ago.

How do you know if they are good projects? Lots of projects look great, but eventually they end up scam after the bounty ends or they complete their ICO. It is better to choose the projects that have been listed in the exchanges

There is enough scheme around cov19 already, the trick isn't working on crypto investors anymore, the latest now is DeFi projects, the hype is so big and I believe it should last longer than past ICO successful fundings because DeFi is useful but scammers will use the HYPE for their scam projects

The future of cryptocurrency is not absolute.Indeed, bounty hunters should never stop hunting projects.And everyone should take care and be wise in choosing projects to participate in especially during this crisis, scammers would make use of this to their advantage to manipulate people desperately in need.

Failure or the fear of it, can never be a deterrent. Just choose your projects with care, there are no guarantees in cryptosphere, and no singular determinant algorithm to do so. One just learns to adapt. Who could have predicted the world would be under lockdown for so long!

I really love your spirit and you have also a point but you need to be wiser also especially in picking the bounty projects to support on so you will not be wasting
your time and effort from time to time.

As a fellow bounty hunter, the risk is always there but we need to gamble if we really want to earn a free money because in bounty hunting we are only putting our effort and time
so we will not be at big loss if in case that certain campaign will not pay our work.

When join bounty at the moment, you need to look into reality. Never expect bounty to be the same as 2017 because the market has changed now, new projects cannot be successful and they don't have the money to pay for bounty. In this year, if any bounty succeeds, that would be great

   Killerfrost you are right, bounties will not be the same as they were, but as I read there are still good bounties, and some of
them paid a good deal of money to their participants. Add that some bounty tokens made a nice rise after trading started,
some bounty hunters are surely satisfied.
   Giving up shouldn't be an option! Every mistake can be used for learning how to be better next time. Instead quitting try something
else, try different ways.

As someone who has just been introduced to crypto,I have been having fear that won't I run at losses but I have been made to understand now that no matter how tough the going is,I should not give up.I will try and remain focused because that is the only way one can thrive in crypto regardless of all odds. Another thing that I think is important at this season is one trying to update one's knowledge about crypto investment so as not to be a victim of scammers.

true, this year the bounty is very gloomy, no one has made another $ 1000,
just getting $ 100 is already very grateful now, hopefully the bounty can be like 2017 or 2018 again

Bitcoin is rising at a greater pace than it actually should and this is making almost all the other altcoins bleed except a few. It would’ve been a sweet sight if altcoins showed upward trend along with Bitcoin. But, right now most famous altcoins are increasing by not correlating with bitcoin markets; that must be a good thing for all of us to enjoy.

And bitcoin is not moving along with the stock market at all. Maybe it did in the start of the year but if you look at the current scenario of both the market, you will observe that crypto market is blooming whereas the stock market is bleeding at a consistent rate. Overhype and rapid rise occurring in the crypto market now is going to mean greater and steeper correction later.

You should see for yourself that the current situation of the cryptoqurrency market has undergone significant changes, especially in the price of BTC and the price of ETH, apart from the half of bitcoin being reduced there are even new trends such as DEFI and ETH. 2.0 which will be released soon. I am waiting for this arrival, if this really happens then it could affect the Coin price too, it could even be higher than the current price.

Yeah we should never give up continue on what we have been doing and we might see the golden year again .
There are still some bounties that pays off we just need to keep on hunting it but just like what OP has mention don't expect it to be just as before.
We need to accept what we are getting from bounties right now we don't know which one would give as a good profit in the future,
Maybe if we just hold them for a long time until they got all the attention and partnership that the project is working for our bounty rewards would get a good price again.

Indeed, as we can see as of now, DeFi projects are becoming famous and lots of people are really investing their money with these projects and we can really see the progress of every projects like that if you check every DeFi projects right now, you can see that there are some promising projects that are growing fast in a presale stage.

I totally agree with what you are saying here, ethereum 2.0 and the DeFi project can have a great effect on the cryptocurrency price which is currently starting a price recovery, so stay calm and buy as many coins as you can to enjoy a lot of profits at the end of the year.

Coinmarketcap can help to monitor the dominant of Bitcoin price. Ethereum and DeFi projects (actually "Chainlink") are swallowing up more dominance when coinmarketcap is gaining more marketcap. Good exchange listed all bounty paid to bounty hunters until we submitted the wrong address. My suggestion is also the same we should never give up.

Well, that is the risk of participating in every bounty campaign. You will need to spend your time and effort in exchange of the possibility of getting paid. Not because it is already listed, it doesn't mean that there is a guarantee that you will get your payment. That's why we should still continue to hunt and continue to improve our work.

Experienced is the best teacher not to give up, use that failure to start strong, do your deeper research and keep trying
to participate with project that you think that will bring something good. Don't let those past experienced to pull you down
instead use it to push yourself up, boost yourself to continue finding the right project for you.

This is what we need to fully understand as a bounty hunter, what happened in the past, stays in the past. Even if we experience the increase in price in every crypto in the market, it still doesn't change the fact that what we experience in bounty campaigns during early 2017 will happen again this time. It is indeed possible, but if this happens, the history will only repeat itself. Scammers will surely come and will take advantage of the situation.

You actually said some nice words there
Especially the last point, this pandemic a lot of scam project would revolve and use this little opportunity to scam people
It just takes knowledge to know who and who is real or not

Thanks for the advice
Well appreciated

I have experienced joining a bounty scam, not paying bounties even though tokens have been traded, reducing bounty allocations. but i don't care about it all, i keep joining the bounty as long as i can. because I believe in time I will meet a bounty that really pays and provides many benefits

Yes you are right, many bounty projects now are scam and don't pay the hunters sometimes it's really disappointing, but we can do nothing just to keep on joining as many as we can and who knows we can get a good project that can pay the hunters and satisfied us.

Thats right, just keep on looking for an opportunity that likely to give you profit whether for investing or bounty hunting.

It has risk but definitely if you find a good project to invest/join in, it will be worth it so dont be discourage and think positive.

Despite of the pandemic that happened in this year, there's a good side too (bullrun hopefully) and thats what im looking forward

if profit are we talking about nothing beats investing because you can choose your coins but on doing bounties you cant choose a good coin . good coins dont have a bounty but only those who are newly created .

risk are only for real investing but for bounty i wont consider it because its non paid . pandemic can be a reason for the bull run and this bull run can also motivates people to comeback joining bounties .

That's what every hunter has been doing for a long time because we know as a bounty hunter we have to make some settlements to not get disappointed every time. Therefore we never stop doing bounties because we never know which project will bring higher profit.

so that we are guaranteed to get paid, join a bounty that uses escrow services, and if you get a reward that is not commensurate then don't despair because we don't know which project will give you a lot of money in the future,

the problem is that there are very rarely bounties that use escrow services to guarantee participant rewards, and what I know is that most nowadays are bounties with bitcoin payments that do, for tokens payment I think there is no longer even bounty detective does not escrow but they guarantee bounty hunter reward is safe by communicating with the project that holds bounty.

In essence, there is still a risk to the bounty when we have to accept it because we choose to remain a bounty hunter. This is your choice "and you have to understand the risks that will be taken. Besides, there are many other things that can be done simultaneously in the crypto industry, trading while being a bounty hunter, and joining aidrop at the same time.

This is exactly what motivates me to keep participating in bounties. The hope that just a single bounty might pay off for all the years of hard work. Anything is possible in crypto. No one knows which bounty will pay, either trading already or not.

yes, how else? In the DIA bounty the rules are very strict and participants are also limited,
so if you don't have enough time to go online it will be missed, for me, I also never give up, because give up is a bad action

 I will say that giving up should not be an option, bounties may not be as rosy as it used to be in a few years back yet we have to keep pushing and hoping for better days . get motivated and go back to work try  to participate actively in some good bounties and luckily you may find one that pays well .

Even we shouldn't follow bounty allocation. Bounty allocation is a mysterious thing in cryptocurrency. Right, we should follow only legit projects. Actually I was shut down from the bounty. I was frustrated with bounty rewards, actually lost trust from bounty rewards. After Alchemy, I think bounty projects are stable. Almost two years have passed without a single payment but this year I will get one.

It will never actually be an option. Even though what we are experiencing is really different from before, we should still continue and find new bounty campaigns to be part with. We should never get tired of looking and moving forward. Even if most of the time, our time and effort will be put to waste. This is the fact of being a bounty hunter, there is no guarantee of receiving the rewards we expect.

Nothing is certain in crypto world. Sometimes what you once knew as a good project, turns into a good scam in the end. Although there are a lot of challenges we all should not give up. We all should just be careful and work hard at the same time.

Everything that is expected from a bounty cannot be a guarantee that it will change your economy because now, many of the failures that we have participated in in the bounty campaign have been wasted a lot of time, and I think we need to find something better than the bounty.

For us crypto investors, giving up should not be an option. There will be times that we are going to have some loss but do not easily quit. Next time, be wise. Learn from the ups and downs of crypto world so that we could cope up. Never give up and find other cryptos and companies that are worth investing.

in my opinion if giving up means not having mature thoughts and indicating that the person is not confident, I don't have that kind of trait and for that I always join the bounty and continue to work tirelessly, whatever results I will receive. the important thing is I have tried my best

And that would be me. I invested in the market when the prices were at the peak. The real moment of rejoice will be when Bitcoin reaches new all time high and also all other altcoins show upward trend along with it. We still need institutional money to get the market to new heights and that can only be achieved by finding new ways to make investing and trading in cryptocurrencies easier and convenient. Launch of projects like DeFi is really what we needed as a boost to the trend.

I hope that the crypto world keeps updating and providing more use cases to the world in order to pave the way for global acceptance and adoption.

Point number 3 that OP said usually happened to me, how sad, i have more than 50 kind of ash tokens in my MEW, and i have 50 more that not pay me in the end. I don't know why that's happened to me too often, i already filter bounty or airdrops before i sign up into, bad luck i think since i do promote their project without being scammer.

Just never give up!

Along the line, one might likely want to get tired, especially investing, one might be having an adverse mind. But pushing gives a very great pay at the end, As for me the sky is my limit, still making my way in.

Hard work won't betray the result, im certain that if we keep working on bounty projects, we will get one of the best campaigns eventually.
As long as we conduct our research on the project before joining campaign, we will have lower possibility for getting scammed by bounty campaigns.
It is very important to know that the bounty you have joined, will pay you.

Well just because 2017 was a great year doesn't mean there isn't going to be a better year ahead, hoping is better, it's what keeps humans going, it's reason why some newbies still takes their chances with Bitcoin, I believe better days will come again, bad times don't last forever and it's also same thing to good times

You either need to be very sure in what you are investing and ready to take risk as quite possible out of many projects major would be worthless in the end. So, you can continue to invest large part in your top coins only and only some portion in this new projects for the ones your research suggest that it will hold a good value in future.

I think there are now great much work out and i think it is time to get back to work keras.setelah new normal what i see many project rise and fix lack them

Yeah. I have learned these things with time and experience too.
But the fact is that bounty hunting has faced terrible times from 2018 onwards till recent months and i have stopped doing bounties for several months but now market seems to be improving and i think bounty market will also revive and we will see more and more good projects coming up with good reward campaigns.
So yes we should not give up just keep on working with a positive frame of mind.

Those several months that you've stopped bounty participations are the best months so far, right now there isn't good projects available than oikos and DIA and DIA is already over and oikos is not accepting new participants again, all other bounty projects are just try your luck.

Recently Ethereum network is killing bounty hunters with there immense high fee. Even at that, I don't give up, I participated in much I want and give them my time and I believe with time, the reward will pay off and will be smiling at then end. Never give up as you may never know which of these projects is the best with high reward

Regarding point number 4, some of the new forms of scam you said are really happening at this time. like the Defi project, I have heard that there are 2 Defi projects that end with SCAM such as YAM and UBI. this is a bad example of a Defi project, and maybe there's more that I don't know about.

you're right. the bounty hunters face the new problem now. the ETH network fees is too high. but as OP said, that we better adapt to present condition. we don't just give up. some bounties maybe take some times and hopefully the ETH fees will back to normal as time goes by. just make sure we don't spend our time with the scam project.

Yes, that's right, scammers have started making DeFi projects to get new victims, because they always follow project trends like in the past where ICOs and IEOs were trending at that time, this is what project scammers always use to deceive many people inside crypto.

I have experienced that, bounty payments that are delayed and not even paid, for example, elysian coins, they don't pay bounty hunters after delaying it for several months.

Delaying the payment is kind of a common thing for most bounties nowadays. Not thay I say that every bounties were like thay, but even if they pay you on time, no one's saying that it will be tradeable or have value. That's one of the sad things being a bounty hunter. We don't get paid, or get paid less than it should've been. It is what it is.

Like you say Never give up
For me i will do all the bounty as long i can do that no matter how much project im join in
Why?? We never know which project will moon but ofcourse i do some little observe with my own category ofcourse 48
Maybe i get scam 2 or 3 project but i hope i get the hidden gem from all the project
With read the whitepaper, knowing the roadmap of the project, getting know the team and ofcourse the bounty manager one thing we should know

That's the risks that bounty hunters have to take, not all bounty projects you promoted will pay participants as they promised, some new projects have bad team and some won't pay because they failed to raise enough fund for development

The bounty hunter should get what the developer has promised because if the problem is that the price falls, then it is the fault of the developer who cannot provide good developments that can trigger support from investors so that if there is good development, the price will be stable and can even go up.

I love the (no 2) about listed bounties not paying, I did a bounty campaign for a project that was supposed to pay me very well cos I did all their social media campaigns, Article and Video and was actually counting on the payment but at last was disappointed and it thought me a very big lesson, never depend on a project even of its listed

That's part of being bounty hunters but as long as I enjoy doing this stuff it give's me more motivation and beside we need to become knowledgeable before we joined in a campaign but in the end of the day the best feeling is that I enjoyed what I do and I always learned something new.

Yes, being a bounty hunter is something that is very enjoyable especially if the projects we are hunting are good projects where it can provide good benefits for the hunter, only sometimes a hunter can also get annoyed and disappointed when their work is not paid on time or not even paid at all by the project team.

Valuing the knowledge and information to judge properly when you are picking the project to participate.

It's a great way to keep moving forward, enjoying your time and what you are doing, you have to be more in depth
if you really love to succeed from this venue of business, bounty rewards once you successfully join the right team
and right project will bring you decent benefits.

As bounty hunters, we don't need to complain about bounty projects that lead to scams or the like, but we as bounty hunters must first analyze in detail before participating in a project to avoid a scam project or fail.

If we did our part by conducting an extensive research, we can somehow minimize the chances to participate in a scam project.

So its our responsibility to be cautious when joining in bounties especially nowadays that its rare to find a good project.

Dont follow the project trend because not all are legit, scammers will take advantage it, another hype to scam people.

Not knowing when profits will come through bounties is what makes them fun, you can never predict what you will earn so join many good projects and relax, out of five it's certain that one will bring the highest profits, nowadays bounties isn't for the lazy hunters or those who want instant rewards

the problem is in the scam project. most people give up because of it. however, we know that large payouts we can get from any project that has potential, and we also don't know whether the coins we hold for a long time will have a future price or not, because there are some old coins that have a price that is high. Well, give up or not, it's everyone's choice, because some people are tired because they always get project scams, or the pay is not worth it.

Consistency is the key here, crypto is not a rush business if you aren't going to have some chill you should just back out. But the true fact is that, with patience, consistency and focus. There is joy at the end of it

You have specified the right thing, but when it comes to reality it is impossible to find out the legit details about the company because after fund raising they will start developing the project. Till now, we have many projects which seem to be very bullish during their crowdsales and after raising they will scam both the investors and bounty hunters.

As a bounty hunter, we never have to give up and keep hunting the project because according to time some projects will pay you or some not. Therefore we have to keep hunting bounties sooner or later we get a sufficient amount of reward.

It is a waste of time if you consider the projects posted in the bounties altcoins section. The problem is with scam projects that are too many and hard to find the legit one.

You see? never give up in bounty is just like smahing your head in the wall. Keep smashing it and never give up then you will see how hard is your head or the wall.

Anyway, yeag bounty hunting really is earning but do your research on how to join a good projects that will pay. There are some suggestion being raised in a thread and those projects are really worth it to join.

Its really different right now and even worse throughout the year. Its difficult to earn money not just only through crytocurrency but also in real life situation. Projects may not be the same as it is. The concept of the projects always repeated and being copied because of lack of originality. Some are not pay attention in reviewing campaigns and not be able to analyze it properly. Don't be lazy and we should try to work of ourselves.

The season is here again, when some are giving up already, base on their challenge facing right now, because of the scam, while those that invest their coins wisely about to smile.

Continue to work hard as a true hunter, don't get tired and give up even though many obstacles come, in the future you will definitely find a project that makes you smile and your struggle is not in vain, don't give up easily because failure is the beginning of success

It's wise to be resolute in your decision to accomplish much, but even at that, it's best to have a strategy to accomplish your goals. We would be deceiving ourselves believing that bounty hunting is lucrative. No doubt, some projects could be worth the hassle, but several would be wasted effort. It's good to find more rewarding schemes to enable one increase earning in this space.

It's better to choose wisely before promoting new bounty projects, not all of them are good but there are still few good projects using bounty hunters to create awareness for their projects, do research and choose wisely to avoid wasting too much energy on stupid projects

never give up is something human strength, of course this trait is the best trait, I understand all your feelings,
because many miss bullrun, but I'm sure there will be a second bullrun, so cheer up

The word "Give up" was not on my vocabulary, "Never Give Up" is always on my mind and i always remember it for the sake of my children's and family. So, i don't mind if some campaign doesn't pay the hunters, for me I will continue work and promote the project that i think is good until i can earn again to buy needs and foods of my family specially this time of pandemic that i have lost my work and cryptocurrency is my alternative full time job for now.

As a hunter I like the number 2. One shouldn't put his eggs in one basket. I try to get in as much as possible. But also one need a little bit of patience in some bounties to get good value of their reward.

And you may not get profits from joining the five projects that you worked on, the matter does not require speed in even joining, but rather take enough time to review projects, so that you do not waste your time promoting scam projects, you can join 2 to 3 good projects after reviewing them well is better than joining to 5 bounties and you get nothing at the end.

I wrote a post to analyze the cryptocurrency space using an ancient philosophy, Yi Ching. I think it is a useful framework to understand what Bitcoin can and cannot do. From there, we can create useful cryptocurrency.

https://bitflate.org/post/2020/08/24/yi-ching-and-cryptocurrency.html

I do not totally agree with your 2nd point because blindly promoting and participating in bounty campaigns will encourage scammers and they will take advantage of free promotion for their scam bounties. I highy suggest due diligence and picking the top 3 or 4 campaigns at a time max. Because it is better to work for handful of campaigns where you are sure of project and reward rather than promoting dozens where you will find good projects and gokd rewards from 10 to 20 percent of them only.

When we give up and decide to stop participating in bounty campaigns anymore, that is same with closing the door to the good opportunities in the future. I agree with u, we will never know if we participating in a very good project some day as long we don't stop doing our works.
Maybe one of some recent good DeFi projects that has bounty campaign, will become a success project.

That is right, now that we're here, and it's the way it is, i think we have to accept it, , adapt to take things as they come, can do, only gladly accept and enjoy. Let bounty hunter as a job to occupy your spare time, maybe there is a suprise waiting for you.

unfortunately only few good Defi project have bounty campaign , maybe the good one was oikos campaign. price still maintain and not dropped alot in market and even could growth smoothly. in my opinion cryptocurrency is a future, and working in bounty campaign mean we prepare our future starting now. token from bouty could be things that will make us rich someday.

This should be the positive attitude we could give ourselves to find ways to be successful in cryptocurrency, but alas, we are not robots that can reach the sky. Signature campaigns are limited to one campaign and you cannot join multiple signature campaigns all in one. Not all can draw, and not all can be writers and not all can be good translators. You are describing someone who has the mental intellect of a genius who doesn't sleep because he swims in coffee. I'd rather stay humble and admit that we humans have limitations too.

Even as we go through this space, there's a high  tendency that we'll face some setbacks, but it's best if we don't give up. There's a saying that nothing good comes easy. We need to continue Striving to accomplish our goals.

If you give up then you ain't ready tk be a bounty hunter, always don't expect much from any project but do your autmost best, don't just jump and run Campaign for any project, make your own research and with that you more chances of making something as a hunter

I know a lot of cases when people worked in bounty campaigns in their spare time and they were very lucky and earned more than on a regular job. now is a great time to start making money on the bounty market

Waiting for a month for rewards distribution is acceptable but more than that, it seems to be hopeless and shouldn't be expected them will do the distribution. It really gives frustration when talking about the delays of bounty rewards, disappointment comes with and we can't blame the participants to whine. But first, we have to think the things like these and that is why we have to choose bounty that we feel legit and are willing to give what they have promise.

Many people around the world have a lot of difficulties because of pandemia and crysis. Deligence is one of the most important human`s skills. We need to work as much as we can to achieve goals which we are dreaming about and become that person which we would like to be. People who never give up, earlier or later become successful, that`s true

I agree, for every 10 scam projects there maybe one legit project. But that one legit project maybe enough to makeup for all the scam projects. Keep researching and find the gems.

Yes, I personally never give up to get reward from a bounty campaigns. In the current situation, there are some a good project. I joined the campaign after I researched about them. Scam projects will always there. We must always be carefull.

it is true that despite all the bounties that have happened, if people who are experienced they will adjust, whereas people who joined at the end of 2017 where they felt a bull run and did not feel it back in the following year then felt that the bounty was no longer profitable.
even though from the start it is not easy to get many results.
they assumed that bounties should be an easy place to earn due to the year-end bullrun.

Bounty hunting is not as hot as 2017 - 18 anymore, i remember there were a lot of websites like Amazix , Bountyhive , Bountyguru , etc and now they are closed, many of their projects never added to any exchanges and it hurt their reputation, these days farming and staking is on the fashion, people would rather to invest in something that pays and they are sure that worth it , investing time or money on bounty hunting maybe not very pleasant for some people.

Well! I think that's why we are hunters, because we just have to keep taking the risk of wether the hunted project is alive or Dead, some times we set our trap for big project and it catches nothing, some even eat our bait(effort, data, time....) And yet we see nothing in the trap. Probably some senior managers silently harvest our rewards. That's why we should upgrade and learn trading,I hope this hunting will not be cancelled soon.

That may be true. But for that, at least 10% of the bounties should give rewards to the bounty hunters. But the current success rate is extremely low, and it can be as low as 4% or 5%. That means that if you work on 20 or 25 bounty campaigns, you may get good rewards from one campaign. It can depend on luck as well. There can be cases when a particular user participates in 50 campaigns and still goes unrewarded.

I only know one thing, that the only thing to do now is hunt for bounties. To all of you, the same bounty hunter as me, we used to have a wonderful year when the bounty went well. now when it's falling, we can't just give up. because we started well, and now is not the end. in a job, business, or hobby, there are ups and downs. so it is what we feel now in the world of bounties. so, keep up the spirit

There are many challenges to us as crypto traders, we should never give up because there is always profit and loss.
Be careful when you deal with bounties or airdrops because there are fake and there are legit, so be careful about that.

The only problem with us bounty hunters is that we are limited with our physical and mental faculties, and time is very limited that we cannot be able to participate all of the bounties that we are capable of doing. Many wants to participate and give their time to get into different bounties but of course we are time constraint and we don't have unlimited energies that make us do all of these bounties. If only we can do all of these without affecting our health and without all the limitations then we can only earn much much more.

Giving up is not an option in this space. The journey to make it in this industry requires a great deal of patience and resilience. One has to consistently strive despite the challenges and negativity. The space could be very lucrative, if one is lucky and makes the right choices. I'll advise that we continue the hussle irrespective of the challenges of the market.

In this business of crypto world we a lot of sacrifices, doubt and even behavioral qiil engaged to this work. But in many incounter we have this the time that we thought that giving up is not valid at all.

If the project is legitimate, it means that it is not included in a scam project, because a scam project is a project that is not legal under any regulations and rules, so researching is necessary, but understanding what you are researching is far more important.

I agree, we should never give it up. Investing, Trading and life in general is not a sprint, but rather a marathon. We all can get lucky and unlucky from time to time but it's not a reason to stop. If we make a bad decision and our alt coins are tanking we can always try to hold  and recover. Just be cause prices are dropping in our coins doesn't mean we are wrong in general. It might just be an overall drop in prices. Especially in crisis times like we have no with corona.

Yes, giving up is not a good choice for warriors in crypto, because if someone who has been involved in crypto then gives up as a result of being tricked, then he obviously will not get anything and cannot take revenge against losing the assets he once owned previous.

Golden year is still ahead! Anyone here get into fiscus.fyi? I bought a small bag this week! Waiting for moon!

Yes, being careful with all bounty or airdrop programs is clearly very necessary, but the more important thing here is to make some research on the bounty or airdrop program before we follow it, because being careful without acting is useless.

Some projects fail to make the payment to hunters even some reputed projects. I remember some with Waterloo winner project failed to pay bounty but that didn't stop me . Keep going and you will be rewarded.
